Historical: The Greatest Adventure: Stories from the Bible

I borrowed and watched this summer of 2002. Even then I had a vague idea that I wanted to see some of the most well known movies, with the IMDB top 250 as my idea for a good start.

I really enjoyed it! And so many elements or lines in it that could be called cliche now were actually their origin. This is the movie that solidified my interest in watching well rated "old movies." Compare to Citizen Kane.

I got a hold of this movie because of Erin near the beginning of college, although I can't remember for certain if I watched it with her or not. The main impression I remember about this movie is that it was vivid both in color and content.

I am very much a Star Wars fan. I've read about 40 books, played a handful of games, and seen most of what there is to see. There were some summers growing up where I was mostly watching the Star Wars trilogy and playing Mario 3.
2011-02-26 - Watched Star Wars Begins, the excellent fan-made documentary.

Dreams within dreams... there was never a chance I wouldn't like this movie. It was incredibly fun.

This was the one I watched least when I was younger. The slightly less familiarity has made it more attractive for rewatching in later years. Also it's Star Wars. <3

There's so much that is cool about this movie. But mostly the impact of the reveal the first time you watch it. The sort of Sixth-Sense change where you can then rewatch it as an entirely different experience.

Probably my favorite of the trilogy, but they are all fantastic.

I watched this in my 9th grade history class. Liam Neeson back when his only power was being German. No force, no lightsaber. But seriously, this is a serious movie. I don't remember much of the specifics at this point, but watching Life is Beautiful more recently made me think of watching this.

Saw on the IMAX twice on the first Saturday after release. OMG so good! Got a picture of me with the Joker at the theater too.

I actually saw the 1997 version first (Tony Danza!), but I love them both. Such a great thing to have a story focused down to pretty much one room and just watching the characters interact. I liked this (both versions actually) a lot.

I knew I had enjoyed Unforgiven and Shane, but this was the movie which convinced me: I really enjoy westerns! I watched this with a girl I met on a bus. She forgot her purse and I argued with the bus driver and made him wait until she came running up from the previous bus stop. Obviously the only thing to do was invite her over for dinner and a western right?

Very fun. Reading Quentin Tarantino and Philosophy (http://www.amazon.com/Quentin-Tarantino-Philosophy-Popular-Culture/dp/0812696344) made it even more so.

I can't say I remember a lot about this movie other than the fact that I watched with Bob not long after college started. And that he heard the third movie was bad so he refused to watch it... so this is where we stopped.

I don't remember much about this movie directly. The main thing I remember is a comment from a friend while we all watched it together the summer before college. My girlfriend at the time was either disinterested or bothered by the violence, whereas I thought it was a cool movie. By my friend's observation, this was the first time in a long time that I insisted on an opinion contrary to hers. I don't remember being that bad, but the observation was memorable, and this movie reminds me of it.

I'm not sure it forever deserves the top spot on IMDB, but definitely a good movie. I remember watching it on TV some night in Jr High when I was supposed to be working some project... let's see, do a diorama of a scene from 1984 or watch Shawshank? Hmm...

Communism was just a red herring.

Funny, but I'm kind of bothered by glamorizing this guy.

Incredibly fun! All the more so since I went in thinking this was a bunch of characters unknown to me, and then finding out I knew half of them from the Infinity Trilogy.

The main thing I remember about this movie was that it had very pretty color. And I think I watched it with a few other people in the common room of our floor of my freshman dorm.

Pixar is always pretty solid and Tim Allen plus Tom Hanks make for some fun recognizable voice acting.

Early in the movie I felt annoyed that Lemmon felt too much like his comedy character in Some Like It Hot, but overall both he and MacLaine were great in this movie.

Hmm, I'm not 100% I've seen the beginning of this movie. See this was the second rated R movie I ever saw, with the first being the movie Speed. My mom was on her honeymoon and I was with cousins and other family at a hotel whereever we were on the coast. So we got away with renting rated R movies. I watched Speed in one room and went to the next room and joined them in watching Braveheart. I mostly just remember the iconic, "You can take our lives, but you can never take our freedom!" Also I saw a statue of William Wallace in front of a castle years later. I should rewatch it someday just because now I know and love Patrick McGoohan.

Excellent movie! A lot like Gran Torino. Those three are fantastic actors. Some really hard to watch scenes, but just very good.

That is an intense movie.

I loved this movie. In terms of pure enjoyment coming out of the theater this ranks near the top for me. All kinds of cool.

I had heard every joke long before I actually saw this, so while it was funny, it was underwhelming and not very memorable.

I probably watched this most of the trilogy. Which means I watched it a ton.

I always liked James Stewart in this and It's a Wonderful Life.

Back in the good old days of Disney movies... Scar was a great villain and the song Be Prepared is incredible.

I watched this with my mom in Bakersfield at some point. I remember hearing the title and not thinking I was interested, until either I looked it up or she told me it was on the IMDb list... now it was part of the mission! The movie itself was okay...

I liked this a lot. Although I seem to remember that something about it lead to an argument. Whatever, very fun.

I don't remember being impressed with this.

Fun movie... I always picture the "walking through the fields" sequence... Also, Battle!

I love the Back to the Future trilogy. Yes even the third one. I've always especially loved the music. Watching Predator at some point I was wondering why it was reminding me of Back to the Future... and it turns out the same guy did the music...

I thought I had seen it before. Finally saw for sure now that I'm going through all the Alien and Predator movies with Nick.

Very cool movie.

I remember watching this with Punchie... I assume we finished it, although I can't say I remember how it ended.

Awesome movie.

I remember being so pleased when I watched this and, without looking at the subtitles, I understood the phrase "I don't know" spoken in Chinese.

This was our Christmas movie growing up with my dad and it has ingrained a like of Jimmy Stewart in my brain.

I loved this movie. The only problem was it gave me a more specific scenario for my general paranoia to latch on to. Clearly my life is full of people behind the scenes watching and manipulating my life. If I tune my radio just right I might be able to hear their radio chatter...

Slow, as the Netflix description suggested, but enjoyable.

I saw this with Julie when we went to Anime Expo.

Weirdly funny and endearing. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it.

A lot of cool moments throughout this. I enjoyed watching Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde just recently and she and William Holden were great in this.

Good movie. Better than I thought it would be from the description and suited my mood today.

Cat-bus is awesome. Most of what I like in this movie is better done in Spirited Away. But still this was a relaxing movie with good animation and occasionally good music too.

It was super exciting to go see this in the theater. I had watched other Tarantino movies over the previous year or two and introduced them to Brett sometime after we met. And seeing a movie like that in a theater down the street from a university makes for a fun crowd.

I was amused at the Walls of Jericho motif and the fact that they asked for a trumpet at the end. This time, dear, he gave a damn.

Aptly named... he's a cool character. The Lucy and 50 eggs scenes were fun. I liked the simple question he asked of god near the end: "You made me like I am; just where do I fit?"

Brett introduced me to Lebowski and I have since watched it many times. Love it.

Eerie dreams.

I watched this and only thought it was ok. I found out later that the Director's Cut which I watched was lacking the narration of the original. I often really enjoy narration in movies and might have enjoyed this more if I had a clearer understanding of what was going on in some parts. Maybe someday I'll have to rewatch the original version.

That was a fantastic movie. Visually very pretty. The kid and the dog are a great counterpoint to the old man. Not many movies manage to be so happy and kid -friendly and actually be so amazing. I walked out of the theater happy!

I think I watched parts of this in my Physics class in high school, then came home and watched the rest. I think there was no justification other than that Mr Loritz just wanted to watch the movie.

I remember my mom telling me for a long time that this was her favorite movie, so I was excited to watch it. Very cool epic.

Game over man! A totally different kind of cool than the first one. Plus like half of the sounds from StarCraft are from this movie.

Fantastic movie. Many good quotables. I tend to rather watch something new instead of rewatching anything, but if I see this on I'm completely unable to pull myself away.

Good movie, strong ending. I like James Stewart in anything though.

Overrated. Compare to Casablanca because they are both "old movies" (1 year apart) and both always ranked high on movie lists.

I watched with in a theater in Bakersfield with my mom. I don't know if it was a rerelease or late after the release or if this is all they did in Bakersfield, but I seem to remember that it was only playing on this one screen in town and it was an abnormally small one.
I really enjoyed the animation and the fantasy of the whole setting.

A few lol moments. I'm not very into silent films. I think the main role they should play in modern times is a lesson for filmmakers: You can communicate without saying something directly in dialog.

Peter Sellers is amazing. Just remember, "you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!"

I love Indiana Jones and Harrison Ford. I watched a lot of Star Wars and Indiana Jones while growing up. Just thinking about it makes me want to watch again...

I remember getting mad because I was watching this at Alyson's house with a group where half of the people were really interested in the movie and the less interested half were making it hard to hear and enjoy it. Regardless it was fun. I always looked for more meaning in it than I was able to find though. But it created a great atmosphere and was a lot of fun to watch.

Showing events out of chronological order can range from confusing to really cool. Memento used it in a gimmicky way, but it turned out great.

I learn more from Hollywood than I ever did from school. Seems like some of this stuff would have been cool to learn more about in a history class.

I liked the Wizard of Oz and have often been excited to see newer takes on it. At some point my mom took me to see Wicked and I loved it. Though it turned out disappointing, I remember being excited over the SciFi variant Tin Man. Also, Zardoz. haha.

Body in the boat scared the fuck out of me. That was an intense movie.

Pretty cool, although I feel like once the viewer understands what is going on there wasn't much in the way of twists or surprises. Still fun to watch though.

I was surprised to realize I had not actually seen this. It seemed like I must have, so I had already marked it as seen. Really really shows its age at this point, but still a decent movie. The second is much better though. Part of the problem is I already know everything about this from 2 sequels and part of a TV show. Glad I made sure I had seen this before T4 comes out.

I remember Sean Florin recommending this movie to me long long ago. It was one of the earliest movies I downloaded and I invited a few friends over to watch it with me. It was an amazing movie to go into knowing nothing and having no expectations.

Frogs, what the fuck? Long but fun to watch... so many good people in it. Tom Cruise and William H Macy were fun to watch and I always like seeing Philip Seymour Hoffman.

I saw this in a free screening at UCSD before it came out. I thought it was very cool. I very much liked both the villainous angel and the whole "devil will collect him personally" thing.

One of the early "old" movies that I watched. Enjoying it firmed up the notion that I would actually go through the IMDb list.

Incredibly fun movie and I love both Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer.

The joke is obvious but it's also the truth: I watched this movie over and over and over. This was one of a handful of movies we rewatched frequently growing up at my dad's house. I love Bill Murray and I love this movie.

I watched this while doing other things and I'm never sure if that means I'm not giving something a fair chance, but I didn't care for this movie.
