This is what I was thinking too.

I might be able to understand not seing "It's a wonderful life" but you seriously haven't seen A Christmas Carol? You know... like Scrooge and the ghost of Christmas Past and stuff? Ringing any bells?

I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, I just cannot fathom how you haven't seen any version of A christmas Carol.

I'm trying to be a dick.  Who the fuck hasn't seen a christmas carol or at least doesn't know what it is.   Have you like never taken a basic middle school literature class?

I've never seen it AND I have no idea what it's about.

I just watched The Game with Michael Douglas.  It's directed by David Fincher, who is awesome (he made Fight Club).  It's a pretty crazy movie with a ton of twists, but the twists actually make perfect sense and are part of the plot rather than a stupid afterthought (like most of today's movies).

seriously????


i don't care if you've never seen any adaptation of it you have to at LEAST know the basic premise to get along in this society what is wrong with you

a drama professor at my old uni looked just like scrooge (only he was an insanely nice guy) and he puts on a one man performance of it every year, it's incredibly great (again because he LOOKS THE PART so well)

no remember he's a jehovah's witness, they don't celebrate christmas

Aside from that, you're right. I've never seen that movie and thus I am a menace to society.

the problem isn't that you haven't seen some movie version of it it's that you don't seem to know ANYTHING about it, that's like not knowing the basic premise of romeo and juliet.  doesn't matter if you've never seen a movie of it or read it or anything you still HAVE A CLUE

same goes for mateui.  for shame.

read a book

Oh wait, is this the story of the rich guy who is too greedy to give gifts to other people/children, and then 3 ghosts come to haunt him during one night to teach him lessons in morality? Yeah, then I know about it, I just never knew that the Christmas Carol was its name. See, I'm not fully ignorant of it. 

Anyway, this has got me thinking - what are the films that are REQUIRED viewing in order to function in society? Ok, maybe not necessarily to function, but movies that pretty much everyone has to see for some reason or another.

I bet you don't know the plot of golden sun 2 do you.

I just watched The Game with Michael Douglas.  It's directed by David Fincher, who is awesome (he made Fight Club).  It's a pretty crazy movie with a ton of twists, but the twists actually make perfect sense and are part of the plot rather than a stupid afterthought (like most of today's movies).

Incidently I just watched it again tonight. I really enjoyed this film both times I've seen it. I like how the viewing experience is completely different a second time. Its why I love films with twists. Some say they lose something on a second viewing, but I think they just get enhanced because you're able to pick up on the little hints that are dropped along the way.

never did say i didn't know anything about it though. i've seen a few commercials of the 2009 carol and that's it.
