The 10 movies you shouldn't watch online

/

Video site Hulu recently added 1962's "Lawrence of Arabia," which raises the question: Should anyone watch a nearly four-hour-long epic of sweeping grandeur on their laptop? Or, heaven forbid, their cellphone? Here are the top 10 films that should never be brought down to size:

1. "Lawrence of Arabia": David Lean's film, which won seven Oscars including best picture, was made for the big screen — particularly as projected in all of its 70 millimeter glory.

2. "Last of the Mohicans": Michael Mann's 1992 adaptation of James Fenimore Cooper's novel pulses with the raw nature of early America. You won't get that rugged feeling on a computer.

3. "Jaws": Really, how scary can that shark be if he's two inches tall?

4. "North By Northwest": Alfred Hitchcock's 1959 classic is just too big for your computer. It's almost too big for a movie screen.

5. "Star Wars": It's true, a hologram of Princess Leia on your computer is just about as fitting as one of Will.i.am on CNN.

6. "WarGames": Watching a movie about Cold War-era paranoia in which a computer threatens to bomb the world might cause you to panic.

7. "Barry Lyndon": The same computer rebellion of "WarGames" might also apply to Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey," but the Kubrick film that deserves the absolute best presentation is his 1975 period piece.

8. "Raiders of the Lost Ark": You have to worry that a story about an adventure-seeking archaeologist who gets chased by boulders might seem a tad unrealistic when shrunken down from the big screen.

9. "The Third Man": Carol Reed's 1949 film is one of the most exquisitely shot films ever and meant for the movie theater.

10. "You've Got Mail": It's just a little too cutesy to watch this romantic comedy on your computer, don't you think?
