There is nothing worse than getting stuck in the corner at a party with the guy who can not stop talk about films (not movies, films). Unless you are the guy who loves films, then there is nothing worse than getting stuck at party with the guy who knows MORE about films. It is not fun to hear a dissertation on a movie you have never seen. Even worse, it is unbearable to hear a thousand reasons why you must see a movie you have no interest in seeing.
So what do you do? You lie.
Don’t worry. We all do it sometimes. A little one like this won’t hurt anyone (we think). And if you have ever lied about a movie, it was probably about one of these classics.
Star Wars and Ghostbusters, this list isn’t.
- Citizen Kane
- The Exorcist
- Rashomon
- Scarface
- The Usual Suspects
- Serpico
- Animal House
- Taxi Driver
- The Big Lebowski
- Reservoir Dogs
- Casablanca
- Apolocalyse Now
- Fight Club
- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
- 2001: A Space Odyssey
- The Godfather (Any Part)
- Gone with the Wind
- A Clockwork Orange

- Dumb and Dumber
With the exception of Dumb and Dumber if you haven’t seen every one of those movies you are a lesser person for it.
