I saw Dr. Strangelove in high school, and I didn't get it. Maybe I would like it better now.
Spinal Tap is one of my top-10 favorite movies. I never thought of the humor in it as depending on knowing about rock music cliches, but maybe it does.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
On the other hand, I rewatched This Is Spinal Tap over the weekend because it was a Komedy Klassic. It still doesn't make me laugh. Perhaps it's because I don't watch the genre (rock documentary) it parodies.
I don't watch a lot of rock documentaries either, and as such, maybe I didn't appreciate it as much, but it's still damn funny. "You can't dust...vomit."
I haven't seen The Maltese Falcon. Also, this is the time where I bring up the fact that I still haven't seen the Godfather movies, huh?

Ann, that's a ferret.
P-C, I've only seen the first. On basic cable, so it was probably edited.

It's not a film for everyone, but I love absolutely everything about it
Martin Scorcese's favorite Kubrick movie, and he's a professed Kubrick fan.

I just saw Dr. Strangelove recently and spent the entire time laughing like crazy. It's definitely a movie you have to be in the right mood for, though.
I think I saw Days of Heaven. With Robert Duvall, maybe? Set on a farm? I have a vague memory of watching a movie that looked like it was shot almost entirely at sunset, mostly memorable because I spent the whole movie being very frustrated that I couldn't see a damn thing that was happening.

Days of heaven has very young Richard Gere and Sam Shepard

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I didn't like any of the Godfather movies.
I've never seen Gone With the Wind, Citizen Kane, or Casablanca.

I tried to watch the first Godfather on cable, and couldn't get into it. Keep meaning to rent it, but i'm sure it won't live up to the hype.
