Topic: Films that everyones seen except you Posted: June 03 2005 at 12:03 |
Following on from the obscure films thread, how about those films that everyone can quote word for word but you've somehow avoided seeing? I'm not talking about anything that isn't at least 5 years old, but those films which are always being shown on TV and are always cluttering up the racks at blockbuster. Speaking for myself, I've never seen..........................wait for it.............
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Everybody, and I mean everybody I know seems to have seen this about 15 times. I've been told about it so many times that I feel like I've seen it, but I've never glimpsed so much as a single frame.
So come on, there must be people out there who've never seen Apocalypse Now, Reservoir Dogs, Blade Runner and all those other classics - admit it now!

Lord of the Rings - all of them
Star Wars - all the new episodes
Titanic
I have watched a little of most of these and based on that i can say that all of these are pure CRAP.
Based on the first half of the first Lord of the Rings it is a horrible
childrens movie with an awful story line. I have not read the book but
it's clear that they couldn't make a good movie from the book. The new
episodes of Star Wars seem to be awful compared to the old ones. I just
hate digital technique. The little I watched Titanic was just pain.
There's many more but these are the nost obvious... i just hate the
commercial Hollywood crap. They can make only a few really good movies
there per year nowadays.

All Terminator movies
All Monty Python movies - I can tell a lot about them, because a lot of people keep talking about them!

The Godfathers...Most of Scorsese's early work...The Rockys...Dr. Strangelove and The Un-Edited version of The Shining (even though I'm not a Kubrick fan)...
Interesting how most of us haven't seen the same movies hehe.

Just about every American?hollywod blockbuster in the last decade....
I hate every film with a big budget made for breaking the box office cashboxes. I refuse to participate in those money gubbing machines even though I may be missing on some good flicks. 90% of my film viewing is non-USA. I will however see Cohen Bros , Woody Allen and Sean Penn productions.

Kill Bill (Both)
Star Wars (Attack of the Clones)
Citizen Cane
The Itallian Job
The Good the bad & the Ugly
The Long Good Friday
I have also managed to avoid virtually everything with Keanu Reeves in it apart from Bill & Teds Excellent adventure (Both parts) Which is obviously a masterpice of modern cinema
