To me, the most surprising thing about today's expression is that no one other than myself said, “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” (And yet several people listed “Indiana Jones” which isn't the name of a movie at all!)
Nagy, I believe the full title is, “A Beautiful Mind” and it looks like three people listed that.
I noticed at least ten answers were listed that were not the actual title of the movie. “E.T. - The Extra-Terrestrial”, “Harry Potter and the…“, “The Terminator”, “The Matrix”, etc.
Stuff like that kills me all the time…“washington without the dc”, no “s”, “ed” ending words, no question mark on “what's in your pockets”, ect……name it, I got it wrong.
Ed, that's exactly what prevented me from entering “Raiders of the lost ark”, because most people call it “Indiana Jones”, but true movie lovers call it “Raiders of…” - too many chances to split the score. Otherwise, I'd taken it.
I think Titanic is something like the #1 grossing movie of all-time, or something like that, both in the United States, and worldwide. (Personally, I didn't think it was all that great of a movie… not sure what the appeal is.)
I think Titanic was so-so. Nevertheless, I put it on the list, because it was a movie that got lots of publicity, and therefore was likely to be mentioned here by others, even if they didn't think it was a great movie either. It's not about telling your favourite movies, but thinking what others will associate with that expression.
