JCC ITT you admit which movies you haven't seen that everyone else has

No, I think he meant Timone and Pumbaa (or whatever they're called). But saying those two were gay is a bit of a stretch. The Hamlet comparison falls a bit flat too since the movie is nowhere near as tragic or morose and only has a few similarities to that tale.

 

The Buddy Holly Story
Point Break
Piranha DD
Lost Highway
Black Sheep
The Firm
Under Siege
A Star is Born (1973)

 

Also, what's with people not having seen To Kill a Mockingbird? This is unusual to me.

Also, not that anyone cares, but I misspoke when I said I haven't seen any of the Indy films. I have seen The Last Crusade, but only once, years ago, and it left little enough of an impression on me that I only kind of remember the basic plot and none of the names of the non-Jones characters.

 

You fail..

 

Hey, there are no movies more sleep-inducing than The Godfather and, particularly, Lawrence of Arabia. Ben-Hur comes close, but it was intriguing enough that I did see it through.

Another update:

The Buddy Holly Story
Point Break
Piranha DD
Lost Highway
Black Sheep
The Firm
A Star is Born (1973)
The Blair Witch Project

Cleopatra
Dr. Zhivago
The Ten Commandments
The Wizard of Oz
The Sound of Music
Mary Poppins

2001: A Space Odyssey

Dune
Mad Max trilogy
Tron

Edit: I came up with half the list on my own this time. How about that.

 

I have also refused to see the latest Die Hard. I'm quite proud of that fact.

 

Please don't spare me. I am morbidly curious now.

But in the meantime, for your surfing pleasure...

 

Some of you need to stop updating like this is something you're proud of. You should be ashamed, rather

 

Scarface
any Godfather movie
The Shining
2001: A Space Oddessy
Avatar

 

All of the Bourne Identity movies.

Apocalypse Now
Metropolis
Lion King
Mad Max
Shane

Movies I don't ever plan to see:
Titanic
Matrix 2&3
Avatar
Die Hard 4
Bourne
Scarface

 

Oh, I can add Scarface as well. But I saw Carlito's Way. What does that tell you?

I should note that I'm not against long runtimes. I sat through all of Once Upon a Time in America. That's a long movie. Not to mention Gone With the Wind, which is close to four hours. But I was bored out of my mind with The Godfather and couldn't finish it. Scarface, however, is just a coincidence that I haven't seen. I probably will see it if it airs on tv.

 

Christ, this everyone else person has seen a lot of movies.

 

I wouldn't call those "must see", either. The first one is the best, it has the tightest story and characterization of the franchise by far. The second one is good, but it's the beginning of ditching the story and characters in favor of more action (when the first one had plenty) and cheap thrills. The third one completely falls apart and just becomes a whole lot of shaky cam, gratuitous and rather uninspiring action, cartoonish characters and a romance that I felt was completely out of nowhere and just felt artificial. Astonishingly, I think the romance is actually the best part of the movie, it's the only aspect with a hint of subtlety, depth or emotion. It was Havac who summed up this movie best, ASSASSINATE EVERYONE IN A 60 MILE RADIUS. The last one, on top of being terribly flawed throughout in terms of characters, plot, setting and storytelling in general, takes the cartoon/comic book absurdity to new levels, becoming a rather stupid superhero movie in comparison to what The Bourne Identity started, a more grounded spy franchise in relative movie terms.

So yeah, each movie in the franchise is worse than the last.

The first and second are entertaining, but I don't think your life is incomplete until you watch them or anything like that.

I wouldn't consider it a tragedy or anything if someone went back in time and prevented me from ever watching them.

 

You are aware of this invention called film which has progressed to plastic discs you can buy or rent in order to see these things we call "movies", right?

 

Was that in response to my intent to watch Scarface if it's ever on TV? If so, you're quoting the wrong post. If not, meh. Some of those movies I am a little curious about and will perhaps watch, but most of them I don't care about.

 

I've never seen Disney's Aladdin.

 

I agree that The Wizard of Oz is indeed a terrible terrible film, and in fact, Return to Oz is a vastly superior sequel in every way possible.

 

In truth it was these that caught me.

The Wizard of Oz
2001: A Space Odyssey
Dune
Mad Max trilogy
Tron

 

This is a sin... my favorite Disney Princess movie.

 

ikr. y'all are supposed to be posting movies that almost everyone has seen, not ones that are almost everyone still has on their "too see" lists.

 

Gone with the Wind...just could never get into it.
