kewb Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Is it wrong that I am so happy that I am not alone in my dislike of A Christmas Story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I'd rather watch almost anything than It's a Wonderful Life. Even an obscure Dolph Lundgren film. But not Beaches. Or Steel Magnolias. Or Meg Ryan outside of When Harry Met Sally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Marmalade Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I've never seen The Godfather. Or any of its sequels. Also have never seen: The English Patient Napoleon Dynamite any of the new Star Treks Black Hawk Down Saving Private Ryan any of The Fast and Furious I am sure there are many more, but these are the ones that come to mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maus Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Well, we quit watching rated R movies about 15 years ago, so I missed a lot of those mentioned above, but leaving those out... I've not seen: Titanic Twilight and it's sequels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom in High Heels Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 A serious hole in your classical education, my friend :D As for me-- Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Goonies. WHAT????? You've never seen these? I...can't...comprehend... The original Star Wars are the only ones worth watching and it goes without saying that Indiana Jones is a HUGE hit in our house (we've seen them about a gazillion times) and Goonies is simply fantastic. All of these movies are action/adventure movies, which we are all about. Still, I can't believe you've never seen any of them!! Oh! Just remembered I've never seen the Colin Firth version of Pride and Prejudice. I remember my older sister having the series on VHS in a place of honor on her bookcase, but I never got around to watching it myself. Again, WHAT???? James Bond even loves this movie. My dad gave me the DVD set one year for Christmas and we've watched them tons of times. Pre-kids, we'd spend a whole Saturday laying on he sofa, eating popcorn and watching all 6 hours of it. I've never seen: Life is Beautiful The Pianist A Beautiful Mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin M Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Home Alone movies - can't watch them, the kid drives me crazy. I'm not much into romantic comedies so haven't watched many of those. Never seen The English Patient, The Elephant Man, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, Annie Hall, Braveheart, Shawshanke Redemption to name a few. We've watched all the Godzilla type monster movies, Indiana Jones and all the star wars movies a dozen times each at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Wife Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 For a long time, my answer would've been "Animal House" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" but I did eventually watch them on DVD. Still haven't seen "The Outsiders". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlebug42 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 For those that said they have never seen The English Patient, don't bother. Biggest waste of 2 hours that I have ever spent. I have not seen many movies from the past 10 years. Just don't watch them. The biggest one I have never seen is probably ET. Never had a desire to see it when I was a kid and still don't care to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissKNG Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I can not bring myself to watch Schindler's List. I have not watched: Any Harry Potter Star Wars movies Superman/Batman movies Star Trek movies Saw movies Lord of the Rings movies Basically most Sci-Fi movies.

Spryte Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Movie buff here. Really, even got outed for being one in school multiple times, as my prof friend would out me repeatedly. Nothing like auditoriums of essential strangers knowing that. My thesis was on sci fi films. I will even forgo dinner for a trip to the theater and call it popcorn dinner. :D But I don't do schmaltzy romance movies. At all. [Yawn] ...I think this includes the Notebook, etc? So add any of those movies to the list, though (thankfully) I don't even recall the names. Oh, and I have seen It's a Wonderful Life, but will take a pass for future viewings.

bobbeym Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Wow. I’ve been reminded of so many movies I’ve never seen. When Harry Met Sally Napoleon Dynamite Black Hawk Down any James Bond movies any Austin Powers movies Life is Beautiful The Pianist A Beautiful Mind The Elephant Man One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest Annie Hall Mad Max The Hobbit LOTR (I’ve seen part of the 1st one, but didn’t care enough to seek out the rest) I did see the first new Star Trek but not the one that came out earlier this year. I did see "The Outsiders" with DS last school year, but only b/c he had to read the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 There are so many movies I haven't seen it's hard to pick out a few. :tongue_smilie: - the Star Wars Prequels (not even Ewan Mcgregor can tempt me) - Inception - any Batman other than Tim Burton's - The Avengers or any other from that universe other than Iron Man - Avatar (I still haven't forgiven James Cameron for making Billy Zane say those silly lines in Titanic) - any movie starring Will Farrell or Adam Sandler (except for Wedding Crashers) - any movie starring the guy from Home Improvement - any movie starring a car or cars (except for Herbie the Love Bug when I was a wee mite) - Brave - Finding Nemo ETA: I'm sure there are tonnes of them that would shock some, but if I don't want to see a film, it's off my radar.

DawnM Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 ALERT MODS!!!!! I think at least a banning until she can watch said film should be in order! This might get me kicked off the board but the only Jane Austen novel based movie I've seen is Clueless, which probably doesn't really count.

gardenmom5 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Pretty much anything that Leo DeCaprio is in. . catch me if you can is good - but it is the story of frank abegnale jr. he drove steven Spielberg up the wall. FAjr was on set as a consultant, and he would totally charm/fascinate the crew with his stories. SS would come back, and instead of working, everyone was listening to FAjr. he really did pass the LA bar just by studying. never took a law class. incidentally - we owe many check security measures to FAjr. he designed them, made a fortune, and paid back what he defrauded. while he pretended to be a Pan Am pilot, he never flew Pan Am to reduce his chance of being outted. FAjr appears in the movie as a French policeman. eta: a lot of movies people say they haven't seen - I haven't even heard of. (and some I only saw because my mother was constantly going to movies, and dragged me with her so I wouldn't be home alone. I knew they'd be bad . . . . ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeannie in NJ Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I agree with you Mom in High Heels about the original Star Wars and the Indiana Jones. We have all of them in both videos and dvds. On one of our trips to Disney World when ds was quite small after the Indiana Jones Stunt Show, we went to meet the actors/stunt people and my ds thought that it was actually Indiana Jones that he was meeting as in the one from the movies. (he had no idea who Harrison Ford was but only who Indiana Jones was. and in his mind that is who he was meeting. The stunt guy was fantastic with ds.
