Paul Blart is pretty recent (and I think they made a sequel not like last year or something?), so that helps, I suppose. Still, I haven't seen either, but I know of Lawrence of Arabia from the sheer acclaim surrounding it (yes, I will see it some day. Paul Blart, probably not).
When was the last time you were flipping channels and happened onto Lawrence of Arabia? Were your kids clamoring to watch Lawrence of Arabia on Netflix? Do junior high schoolers find Peter O'Toole hysterical? For reasons that are self-evident, you clearly weren't the target demographic.
These comments that bristle at pop culture being popular are what's absurd.
I always try "Basil and Maude".....only to recall, when it doesn't work, that that is the name of a clothing line sold at Anthropologie. Sigh. I suppose that shows my priorities!
I did this too, until I recalled Harold and Maude, but I do think Micki needs to be added. Micki & Maude, from 1984, was not a horrible movie and was nominated for a few awards.
John Tucker Must Die...John Wick...Bill and Ted......Beavis and Butthead......Wayne's World........Antwone Fisher...........Dolores Clayborne.......Ali.............
