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

[Callate]

Top Gun, Scarface (though I've managed to see the ending about three times), The Godfather, Taxi Driver.

'Course, with our local video store having recently closed, I'm not likely to catch up on any of those any time soon.

I have never seen Schindler's list. I was going to borrow my mother's copy, but after hearing the film was spread over two DVD's I decided against it. A film that takes two DVD's to watch is a film I just do not have the time nor the energy to watch.

*looks through dvds* Really? I wonder why hers is two discs. My copy (which I still haven't watched but that's because I haven't read the book yet) is only one disc.

It could be that the second disc is the extras as she has some kind of special edition that she managed to pick up cheap. Either way Schindler's list does seem to take up far too much energy to watch and enjoy. There is enough doom and gloom in real life, I don't really want to watch a holocaust movie on top of that.

It's possible. But hey to each their own with movie tastes and what they want to see.

 

[happyninja42]

Forrest Gump (History told through the eyes of an idiot? Yeah, no thanks I think I'll pass)

Any of the Godfather movies (Don't like the Mafia genre of films/tv shows, just 100% don't care at all)

Ben Hur

Spartacus

Citizen Kane

Actually, any of those really famous movies from like 1950 or before I just haven't seen them, and a lot of the ones from the 60s and on too.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

I haven't seen the Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, or the Expendables. There's a whole bunch more because I don't care to see movies unless they look really good, but those are the major ones that come to mind.

When I ordered Schindler's List from Netflix, it was 2 dvds. This was for the full movie, and not just a 2nd disc of nothing but extras. It did have extras on it, but it was also the last half of the movie. IIRC, the majority of the extras on it were the Schindler Historical Foundation (or whatever he called it.) The oral record of the personal stories of the survivors of the Holocaust. He had a long documentary on the dvd about that specifically, and it included interviews with several of the survivors that were featured in the movie. They actually described some of the scenes you see in the movie. But yeah, the movie itself, 2 dvds.

 

[Story]

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

You probably got quoted before on this but I'm going to defend these movies a bit, well not Scott Pilgrim because you are dead on with that one.

The Lego Movie however, is very very subversive and all of the clichéd plot points are pretty much explained away by the major spoiler towards the end. I've never really seen story telling like that before. I would give it a chance if you are able to watch it for free or on Netflix.

As for How to Train Your Dragon, well personal associations aside, I didn't like the first one, but loved the second one quite a bit. If you ever get over the relationship with your BF I softly recommend giving that a chance too.

OT:
As for me, er I'll get say these categories in general:
Any Zombie movie, as I don't like zombies.
Any Slasher movie, as I they tend to be pretty by the numbers.
Any romantic comedy, same as slasher.
Any Time Travel movie, as I don't like the concept of time travel (Groundhog Day was the only exception)

Otherwise I've seen most things or at least I'm very open to watch those movies. These include classics like Citizen Kane. I'm also very open when it comes to animated pictures, I've watch both good and bad.

 

[FPLOON]

I'm really trying to think of a good example, but I've seen most pop culture movies. I've seen every movie by Spielberg, Scorsese, Lucas, Coppola and Cameron, so that rules out most of them.

This. And I own it all to mainly my mother and my grandmother for showing me the pop culture movies that came out prior to me even being born... (and then some...)

So... I guess I'll just say that I have yet to see Food Fight... as well as most movies that have come out this year, but then again I already know I'll end up watching them anyway (excluding Food Fight, I guess) on either Blu-Ray or on my friend's Netflix...

Yeah, I asked her today about it strangely enough and she said that the film was over two discs. She said she found the film compelling, but it just doesn't interest me in the slightest. It just seems to be far too long for my liking.

 

[game-lover]

I can point to basically almost everybody else's posts and say... "pretty much all of those."

Certainly never the classics. I believe I lose interest.

lol its long in the past...its just the assosiation....

bridesmades is a faily good comedy, worth checking out (it had me laughing) another one is Muriels Wedding which while VERY 90's is pretty good....My best freinds wedding is decent too (same writer) but still a rom com

not even Back To the future? nooooooooooo

 

[KissingSunlight]

I have never watched Dune all the way. I tried watching it a long time ago. I couldn't do it. It was on last week. I only lasted 5 minutes. I'm just resigned to the fact, I'm never going to be able to get through that movie.

I have seen most of the movies that other people claim that they haven't seen. Start watching the classics already!

The classic movies that I haven't seen, but I want to:
Cool Hand Luke
Most Elia Kazan movies like "On The Waterfront"
Most Billy Wilder movies like "Sunset Boulevard" and "The Apartment"
Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid
All The President's Men

 

[Kevlar Eater]

It would be easier to make a list of popular movies I've seen. And scarily enough, I'm still subscribed to Netflix.

 

[Queen Michael]

The Godfather

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Pacific Rim

I want to see them, though.

 

[generals3]

The Godfather: i did try though but i got bored after an hour. Those movies are just too damn slow.
Harry Potter: granted i saw one. And seeing that one said about enough.
Star Trek (the old ones)
Most old "classics" like citizen kane, casablanca, etc.
Most Tarantino's films. I just hate his style, i unfortunately had to bear through Inglorious bastards and i thought "never again".

 

[Souplex]

I have never seen a James Bond Movie.

 

[Twintix]

You know, I think it'd easier to make a list of films that I have seen.

I'm not a huge movie buff; In fact, when it comes to movies, I'm rather picky. I can't stand clichéd movies. Which is weird, since a video game can have the most cliché story ever and I'll probably enjoy it anyway, but I can't get into movies on the same level. I'm just not interested. Disaster movies just piss me off; I could go into a long rant about how much I hate Exploding Sun. (Blame it on my lack of Willing Suspension of Disbelief)

If we're talking about classics, I guess I've never seen:

2001: A Space Odyssey
A single Indiana Jones movie
A single James Bond movie
Back To The Future
The Godfather
Citizen Kane
Pulp Fiction
Terminator
Reservoir Dogs
Any Rocky movie
And countless others that I can't name right now.

A movie I haven't seen and kinda want to see is Frozen, but I'm afraid that it might suffer from hype backlash; I hear so many good things about this movie all the time that I'm afraid to be disappointed by it, especially since I'm not that big on movies.
