You've NEVER SEEN (Insert popular movie here)??!? Popular movies that you've never actually watched.

[Vault101]

Scott Pilgrim Vs the World - looks like meta nerd pandering crap to me...not to mention I'm not particually enthralled at the idea of some loser doing grand sweeping romantic gestures for a girl...I also hate Micheal Cira (not personally)

The Lego Movie- same deal some averge guy were all suposed to relte too gets the girl in the end, the girl relegated to side charachter

How to Train your Dragon 2- I saw the first one with my Boyfreind of the time and now the memory of that film is sullied by the memory of a really awkward relationship

...yes in case your wondering I DID wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning

 

[ThreeName]

The biggest one for me is Mean Girls. It seems to get quoted every other day.

Otherwise, the Alien franchise, Wayne's World, Ferris Buller's Day Off, Back to the Future 3, Avatar (Hah, never going to watch that shit) and Silence of the Lambs.

I really do want to watch that last one though.

[Leemaster777]

Is it sad that about 90% of the movies listed so far would be on my list?

Anyways, despite being a Star Trek fan, I still haven't seen any of the movies outside of the two new ones (both of which I like, btw) and First Contact. Also haven't seen The 40-Year Old Virgin.

 

[Mr. Jekyll]

Well Frozen was on my list of "Nope, never seen that one" until just yesterday.

Gotta say, I call shenanigans against it. No epic villain song = no "it's good" vote from me! For that matter, it seemed like they got to the 3rd act and realized "Crap! Guys...you do realize that we don't even have a villain in this story, right? We at least need SOME kinda conflict!" so they kinda shoehorned one in literally in the last 20 minutes. They should have been setting him up from the beginning to be the villain or they should have said "fuck it!" and gone all out: just straight up no villain to be found.

To be more on-topic, I can honestly say I've never seen The Lego Movie. I've wanted to see it, but I just...kinda...haven't.

I personally like how they handled the villain in Frozen. The lack of foreshadowing made the reveal pretty shocking to me. Although I can understand wanting a good villain song.

Funnily enough, just about every single one of my female friends called it (and even my teacher's 5 year old daughter) but I don't know anyone who is male who saw it coming.


On Topic: A lot of 80s action movies, and basically all horror movies. The only classic horror I think I've seen is The Shining. I haven't seen Casablanca or Gone With the Wind or Citizen Kane. Nothing Quentin Tarantino other than Kill Bill. I tried Reservoir Dogs but couldn't get into it, probably because the ending has been spoiled all over.

Also no Snakes On A Plane or The Room.

 

[loc978]

See, they don't pop up often in conversation for me, I don't really think about 'em... but off the top of my head, Pearl Harbor and Titanic... because hype makes me want to avoid seeing movies more often than not... and back then, I was less tolerant of peoples' desire to make me sit through these fuckin' things.

I'm actually rather ashamed that I have seen Avatar.

Looking through the thread for other examples...

Footloose
The Hunger Games franchise, which reminds me...
the Twilight franchise, which further reminds me...
the Harry Potter franchise
Westside Story, which reminds me...
William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet, 1996. I remember it being very popular when I was in high school.
Grease
Breakfast Club
Amazing Spider Man (and 2)
Black Swan (though I suppose I should get around to it someday)
Dirty Dancing
Inception

Se7en, Silence of the Lambs... suffice to say horror movies. They either bore me or make me laugh my ass off, both of which offend the people who make me watch them. Last one I was forced to watch was Hellraiser. It was hilarious.

American Beauty
Gone with the Wind
The Notebook
Star Trek... I've seen a lot of the TV series' and one or two of the numbered movies, couldn't say which.
Any of the Alien movies after the first one

**edit** ooh, Snakes on a Plane. Didn't think of that one.
Isn't The Room supposed to be some kind of high-brow horror? I lumped it in with that. Ah. No. Romantic drama-thing? The Citizen Kane of bad movies? The fuck does tha- ...never mind. It goes on my blacklist.

And I don't feel like typing more. But there's a lot more I haven't. Especially newer movies

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Scott Pilgrim. Apparently that is a sin around certain friends.

 

[Dalisclock]

Top Gun.

I'm also in the Navy and spent 4 years on a carrier, but I've never seen more then 5 minutes of top gun.

I've seen many military and navy films, but for some reason never got around to seeing THE Navy film. I think the problem is that 1.) I saw Hot Shots first and 2.) the more I learn about the Church of Scientology, the harder it gets to watching him smile and thinking about the people he represents.

So yeah.

Also, Transformers(and 2 and 3 and whatever the new one is) Mostly because Shia LeBeof annoys the crap out of me and for reason they insist on making me watch him "act"(despite the fact this film is supposed to be about giant robots). Also, I have no particular love for the toys. What scenes I've seen from the films have done little to make me think "Oh, I really need to see that".

 

[Jadak]

Scott Pilgrim. Apparently that is a sin around certain friends.

It sucks, badly. You're better off that way.

For me, probably others but 'The Usual Suspects' is one that comes to mind. Been referenced all the time forever, and obviously spoiled to hell by now. Just never felt like it.

 

[Ten Foot Bunny]

Citizen Kane
Gone with the Wind
Miracle on 34th Street
The Godfather (all of them)
Raging Bull
The Graduate
Taxi Driver
Casablanca
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
The Bad News Bears
Apocalypse Now
Some Like it Hot
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Rebel Without a Cause
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

That's all I can think of off the top of my head but I'm sure there's more. Midnight Cowboy was on that list until a couple months ago and I found it to be absolutely brilliant.

A Hard Day's Night
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

Those two alone make me cry for you! My existence would be greatly cheapened if I'd never heard John Lennon joke about how "She looks more like him than I do." Or watching the inimitable Peter Sellers play three characters in one amazing movie.

 

[mrdude2010]

Back to the Future
Godfather
Casablanca
Robocop
Shawshank Redemption

Those are all good films, too. I should probably make a point to check them out sometime soon.

 

[Voulan]

I've yet to watch Frozen. All I know I'd that it involves snowmen and getting over things thanks to all the memes about it. I bet if I watch it now I'll be really underwhelmed because it's been overhyped.

 

[Guffe]

There are loads, but the one that always gets a crazy reception (especially with girls) is Titanic.
But then there are loads of "classics" like ScarFace and many others, already mentioned in this thread.

 

[putowtin]

Any Michael Bay moive after The Rock After you've heard Sean Connery's speach on "f@*king Prom Queens" you need hear no more
Any superhero moive after The Dark Knight No Iron Man, no Thor, nada!
Any Adam Sandler Movie after The Waterboy I know his popularity has dropped but there was a time he was considered the greatest thing since the fart joke was invented.

There's more, but moives/films just don't interest me, I haven't been to the cinema in three years and that's fine by me!

 

[Twinrehz]

William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet, 1996. I remember it being very popular when I was in high school.

Just wanna throw my voice in here, maybe light some fires:
The reason Romeo & Juliet is so overhyped is because most teenagers don't get what the story really is about. It's not a romantic love story about two people who aren't allowed to love each other, but do anyway. It's about a teenage flick that goes terribly bad. It's basically a tragic comedy, not a love story.

 

[Asita]

Never seen the Godfather, never actually saw Saving Private Ryan, haven't seen Goodfellas or any of the Godzilla movies from before 1998, the Shining, Seven Samurai, any of the Hannibal Lecter franchise, Apocalypse Now...actually hadn't seen the Untouchables until about a week or so ago..

Miracle on 34th Street

Word of advice there. If you ever decide to watch that one, be sure to go with the original. The 90s remake suffers greatly for trying to give the film a dedicated villain, among other things.

 

[Shinkicker444]

That comic is a pretty good summary of my reaction to my friend that had never seen Star Wars... and again after I made him sit down and watch it and he proclaimed Jar Jar to be a good and interesting character. I almost had to disown him. It was a troubling time.

 

[Colour Scientist]

I haven't seen all of the Star Wars films.
I've only seen The Phantom Menace and one of the older ones but I don't remember which one, much to the dismay of my boyfriend.

Funny that this is the post above mine. At least I didn't like Jar Jar Binks.

 

[Pink Gregory]

Oddly enough, I don't think I've seen any film that is usually referenced in any sitcom from about 1998 onwards.

If I have, it's a fun process getting the references retroactively.
