Instead of talking about movies we've seen, what movies have you NOT seen, that when mention this, people reply with "Oh my God, you never saw _______ ?!"
Some examples for me, I catch a lot of slack for not having seen Blazing Saddles, Godfather 2 or 3.
You?
Until recently, it was Goodfellas.
Other very popular ones:
Godfather
The Big Lebowski
Braveheart
Despite my parents loving Woody Allen and growing up in NYC, somehow I have never seen a single Woody Allen movie. I catch a lot of flak for that.
I never saw Batman: The Dark Knight
The ENTIRE Indiana Jones series. Have not seen a one of them.
I've never seen a Bond movie..lol
I have never seen a Star Wars movie.
Wow, I thought I was bad for not seeing any of the Godfathers until I was at least 29.
But missing the entire Indy Jones, Star Wars or Bond flicks.....wow :shock: :shock: :mrgreen:
(Phil, glad you got AIRPLANE! off that list :wink: )
Star Wars sucks. You're ahead of the game by not watching it.
Mario, not only did I get Airplane out of the way, but also the whole Airport series!
I've never seen any of the Harry Potter Series or Lord of the Rings movies, no real desire to see them anyway.
I've never seen any of the Godfather movies. I've seen parts of some but never a whole film.
Super Troopers.
I've never seen Pulp Fiction or any of the Batman movies.
There are tons of recent (and not so recent) movies I've never seen, but "The Godfather" is not among them.Quote:

Thanks Phil! Good to know :lol:Quote:

Also, I want to see the Animal Farm movie, once again read the book but I am really interested to see how they made it into a movie.

I don't remember seeing Back To The Future
+1 for never seeing or wanting to see anything regarding Lord of the Rings.
I never wanted to but I got suckered into seeing the first one with a friend. I fell asleep in the theater. :)Quote:

Add one more for me, just never saw the fascination with all that. Actually, I take that back, I think I did see parts of the first one on TV one time, I didn't really follow it, and it just sort of ended in the middle of the story. Of course, I guess they needed to do that in order to attract the audience for the sequel.Quote:

Harry Potter is not an OMG movie.
Phil, you GOT the whole Airport series, but have you WATCHED them all?? ;)
Some good OMG movies up there. SOme notables in my mind are HEAT, GODFATHER, THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION.
After we got married, we went to the AFI.com top 100 website and printed a list of the top 100 movies of all time, as rated by the American Film Institute. We haven't seen all the movies on it yet nor do I agree that every movie up it is that great. However, I find most of the films are amazing and really lend a lot of influence on today's films.Quote:

I mean, I can't recall ow many times we watched one of these films and later commented about a post 80's movie, "Oh, so thats where it came from" or I've gotten a lot of inside jokes in more recent films that are triggered by older films.
i do, and did... :wink:Quote:
