I'm ashamed to admit it...
...but I noticed at least two titles missing: Alien from L.A. and Harold & Maude. I couldn't get past the letter H for fear of having some sort of seizure.
-
Hmm
Grosse Point Blank?
The Man Who Would be King?
Face/Off?
-
title sequence
I didn't see "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp" by Michael Powell.
-
Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
If that's not a major movie (compared to ones used, such as "Krull") than I don't know what is.
-
title sequence
i'd like to see chronological rather than alphabetical. who's up for it?
i have a headache.
-
Pretty good, but where is Buster Keaton?
I'd call him pretty major, considering that The General is on most top films of all time lists. Didn't see a title screen for Steamboat Bill or The Navigator either. Sheesh.
Maybe it should be every major movie ever made with sound.
yours in eternal cynicism,
Stephen

Remember the Titans
There seems to be a jump from "Red" to "Requiem," which passes over "Remember the Titans," among others. I quit just after that, for the same seizure fear as the previous poster.
-
What have I done with my life?
The terrifying thing to me was that as the titles flashed by, the words "seen it" flashed through my mind in almost the same tempo as the music.
I also missed a few titles, but only a frame by frame study of the film would reveal if they are there or not.
-
out of order
The Mask of Satan is in the B's (for Beelzebub?). And not included are Blazing Saddles, Nashville and Notorious, but two of those might not meet the video compiler's definition of major motion picture.

missing movies
Gee, the very first movie that occured to me isn't in there. Beetlejuice. Surely it counts as a major motion picture if Brute man and Alligator People fit. I'm sure there's plenty missing.
-
missing title
Is Gone With The Wind missing?
-
JFK, Nixon, Platoon
I think this guy missed some movies or hates Olver Stone...I watched the whole thing and did have a seizure...Was Seizure there? That was missing too...and Oliver Stone...
-
Of course there are some missing.
The beauty is that if anything is missing, it wasn't "major".
Bedazzled (the original)? Batleship Potempkin? Life of Brian? Thirteen Monkeys? Tron? Flying Down to Rio?
Of course some are on there so briefly it is hard to see. I had to do as close as I could to frame by frame to find Forbidden Planet and MAN is it blurry.
Cute, but no cigar. They missed a TON.
-
Broadcast News?
And Fried Green Tomatoes, which may not qualify as "Major" but was as major as some of the other things that popped up. Humiliating that these are the ones I thought to look for. I couldn't make it past F.
-
Missing Titles
Two I didn't see (although I didn't go through it frame by frame) were "The Ipcress File" and "The Spy Who Came In From The Cold", both great mid-60s spy thrillers.
-
what's missing?
Diner.
-
What's missing?
The Boy with the Green Hair and X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes, to name two.
-
missing title screen
I didn't see the title screen from The Women.
-
Missing titles. Bummer. WHAT IS THE MUSIC???
Sure, they missed a bunch of movies. Bummer. But I CAN NOT GET THE MUSIC OUTTA MY HEAD! Anybody know what it is, who it is, where I can get a copy?
-
how could they forget!??!
THE COLOR PURPLE!! i didn't see it and i did my own attempt at "frame by frame" viewing several times. seriously, every major movie ever made? COLOR PURPLE!!
-
... antoher one
Birth of a Nation is missing... despite the content it heralded some major advancements in film making....
-
A true title sequence
"Working Title" was made by a guy named cuechamp and this version is a rip-off. His site is down down but you can see a Google cache of it here.

The original version has the sounds from the original movies and is also mirrored here:

Powell & Pressburger
What have the makers of this compilation got against them? No "Red Shoes" or "Black Narcissus" or "Matter of Life and Death" or "The Life and Death of Col. Blimp". Every major movie? Not quite.
Still, great fun...
-
actually
if you watch it in a format that allows you to go true frame by frame-- as opposed to several frames at a clip-- you'll find most of the movies people are talking about here.
And it has My Science Project. So back off.
-
The Music
Isn't that some rendition or other of Santana's "Jingo?" I am not sure if the song is original with Santana, so maybe Santana's version is a remake of the original...
-
Did anyone notice....
that Fanny and Alexander and Pulp Fiction were missing?
-
Missing Title
Is it just me or was American Beauty missing.
-
movie
the poseidon adventure? wasn't sure if it's missing or not, but it shouldn't be if it is
