3 Films to see before you go blind

[QUOTE=chip75;5535285
I was going to show the clip from Luis Buñuel's Un Chien Andalou but I don't want to freak everyone out....[/QUOTE]

Christ not the cow's eye again! Had to watch it about 50 times at Uni, which kind of drained any enjoyment or appreciation I may have had for the film.

All three "Lord of the Rings" films.

[Apinamakina]

1. Clint Eastwood's Dollar-trilogy

2. Lord of the Rings-trilogy (Return of the King, if only one movie)

3. Original Star Wars-trilogy

But if you have no time for trilogies, I recommend:

1. The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

2. Pulp Fiction

3. Shawshank Redemption

[signia76]

The Toxic Avenger
Maximum Overdrive
The Pianist

Blind people can still enjoy movies with audio description.Found the thread title bit distasteful sorry.You should of put before you die.

Ah yes, since joking about the dead is much better than joking about the blind.

i haven't even seen the first two but i would think they'd be good for the future rather than watching some brainless visual fest, plus, the images you'll remember most won't be some blue aliens, transforming robots or epic battles. in fact, they wouldn't even make you appreciate your sight, so despite me cutting the levity of the thread, i'd say go for movies that have a higher possibility of making an impact if one were to have an unfortunate risk be foretold.

Ray seems appropriate haha.

I'd go for The Big Lebowski, Avatar (purely based on PQ) and the Lion King.

Makes no odds either way really since there was no malicious intent or offence meant in the first place, but some will always look for something and get all Gladys and Phyllis over it.

I don't know what "Gladys and Phyllis" means and I'm offended at your use of it. Good day sir!

We'd then need to deal with optical vision prognosis, the retinal magnification dilation theory and legally registering as 'blind' and other complicated stuff. Let's just stick with the knee-jerk reaction for now.

3 films that I'm glad I seen?

Paths of Glory
The Matrix
Smokey and The Bandit

+ one

[FreakyFraser]

This is a bit of fun.......

1. Apocalypse Now (not The Redux)...needs to be seen & heard
2. The Limey....to see Terence Stamp chew scenery
3. 3:10 To Yuma - a beautiful looking modern western

There are really no right or wrong answers here.
