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! ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

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. |

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. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

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 ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

INTERESTING THRAED LIKE OTHERS HERE I AM NOT A BIG MOVIE WATCHER ANYMORE,MY BEEF IS WITH MOVIE MAKERS WHO INSIST ON PUTTING SOCIAL/POLITICAL MESSAGES OF AN OVERT NATURE INTO MOVIES EG,I AM NOT INTERESTED WHETHER YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT WHO HATES CONSERVATIVES AND MAKES THEM THE BAD GUYS(OR VICE VERSA) OR WHERE A PARTICULAR DIRECTOR STANDS ON ABORTION, WOMENS RIGHTS, GAY ISSUES(UNLESS THE MOVIE SPECIFICALLY IS ABOUT THESE ISSUES ) I AM TALKING ABOUT THOSE MOVIES WHICH DO NOT DEAL WITH THE ISSUE BUT THE DIRECTOR INSISTS ON MAKING A COMMENT IN OTHER WORDS WHEN THE SUBJECT MATTER DOES NOT CALL FOR THE ISSUE TO BE RAISED BUT OUR SOCIALLY AWARE DIRECTOR/PRODUCER DECIDES TO COMMENT ANYWAY....ITS REALLY ANNOYING MY ATTITUDE IS "ENTERTAIN ME,DONT PREACH TO ME" SO THERE ARE MANY MOVIES OF RECENT VINTAGE I HAVE NOT SEEN OR STARTED WATCHING AND GAVE UP IN DISGUST. SOME CLASSICS I HAVE YET TO SEE ARE THE GODFATHER(ALL THE MOVIES) HOLLOWEEN(ALL OF THEM) FRIDAY THE 13TH(ALL OF THEM) THE TWO LATEST STAR WARS MOVIES(I SAW "THE PHANTOM MENACE" AND THOUGHT IT WAS TECHNICALLY BRILLIANT BUT LACKED THE FUN AND SLIGHTLY "TONGUE IN CHEEK" NATURE OF THE ORIGINAL MOVIES.) A CLOCKWORK ORANGE(WELL ACTUALLY I DID SEE ABOUT 45 MINUTES OF IT AND THOUGHT "YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME".............) THE FRENCH CONNECTION TITANIC(OKAY I DID WATCH THE FIRST HALF HOUR OR SO AND GAVE UP BECAUSE IT WAS BORING AND LEONARDO DE CRAPPIO IS OVERATED,IMHO) THERE ARE MANY OTHERS.... ONE MOVIE I DID GET TO SEE FOR THE FIRST TIME ABOUT FIVE MONTHS AGO WAS "THE SHINING"(THE ORIGINAL NOT THE MINI SERIES) WITH JACK NICHOLSON IT WAS ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD AND OLD JACK WAS QUITE SCARY!!, (THE FAMOUS "HEEEERES JHONNY" SCENE)
