Films you're "supposed to have seen"
I'm in no way a film buff but when I do watch a film it's usually a comedy/feel-good film. Because of this, and because I' don't watch many films in general, there are certain film and series of films that I've never seen, although when I tell people they look at me like I've just thrown a turd in their face.
Here's some of my list:
Any James bond Film
Any 'Godfather' film
The Bourne _____ (insert word here)
The Avengers (Everyone was rattling on about this earlier this year)
Titanic
The Matrix
Lord of the Rings or any similar
Star Wars (Except the Phantom Menace)
I'm sure there are loads more. So, what films have you not seen, and have no intention of seeing, despite the fact apparently it makes you odd?

Any James bond Film - crap
Any 'Godfather' film - crap
The Bourne _____ (insert word here) - crap
The Avengers (Everyone was rattling on about this earlier this year)
Titanic - ultra crap
The Matrix - mindnumbingly crap
Lord of the Rings or any similar - can't be bothered watching it
Star Wars (Except the Phantom Menace) - crap
One I was once showed a face of incredulity over was Transformers - I'm a 54 year old woman, why the hell would I watch Transformers
I think some people fall for hype more than others do
Then again, if people tell me they haven't watched Paranormal Activity, I become one of them
I've never seen ET or Elf which seem to be standard requirements for being a human being.
:eek:
I'll see them eventually though. I'm a big fan of consuming crap as well as high culture.
I never saw ET till about 15 years after it was released.
They do me but then again i do not enjoy fiction. I prefer documentaries
I have a feeling that you have a penchant for real crime books.
Probably wrong.
You are bang on. I Aldo enjoy trading and researching Local history.
And you like shoes!
That was subliminal.
It wasn't, I'm talking crap.
What a refreshing opinion. I often feel the same. I wish there were the opposite of extrended versions - what would they be called? Truncated versions, synopsis version? - where you could just watch the bare bones of a film for those with a short attention span. Surely any story can be told within an hour ...
Yep, that's another one I've never seen. One person, when trying to convince me how good it is and what I've been missing, said that they even wear earphones so they can listen to a CD telling the story whilst they're at work! and he's 35 <shaking head>
Star Wars I've only watched by osmosis. You can't help taking bits in if the kids are watching though I wouldn't say I've actually watched any of them...same for the Matrix films.
I tend to watch the first 10 - 20 minutes, fall asleep and then the next day, read all about it on IMDB- that's a bit like a truncated version
Also not seen Potter, Star Wars, LOTR, Godfather. They just don't interest me at all. Apart from R2D2 and C3PO- I could watch them all day.
The cornetto and ice cream half time sellers are sadly a thing of the past.
Been told to watch Coriolanus but it sounds like painting set for your bum.
Avatar.
My Inlaws keep trying to tell me how brilliant Avatar is and that I should watch it but the trailer looked dull to me and so not my thing.
Also haven't seen any of the Bourne movies, Starwars, Matrix, Godfather, Rocky....
None of The Godfathers.
No Rockys
I think I've done a pretty good job of seeing films you've meant to of seen now. I hadn't seen lots of things but in the past 12 months I've got myself up to speed and I'm down with the kids as well as the oldies
Harry Potter
Batman (over the last decade or so)
I have no interest in seeing them either.
EDIT: Reading some of the above, I need to add a few more
The Avengers
Star Wars
