Five major box office smashes, that you have never seen, have no desire to see, and would quite happily go to your grave,
without feeling like you missed anything.
Mine, (I'm sure I can think of more, there must be more)
Rambo, First Blood
Pretty Woman
Top Gun
Titanic
Brokeback Mountain
You're missing out on First Blood and Brokeback.
hmmm let me see here....well since i am a large movie buff, i don't have many that I would "die before seeing" but do have ones I could of gone without seeing.
Sherk
Crank
An Affair to Remember
Titanic (except for the last 20 minutes)
Alien Apocalypse
Transformers (the first one)
Any of the Rambos
Scary Movie
Scream
Independence Day
I only have two that I can remember
Titanic
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Seriously, Rocky was huge when I was a kid and I never went. Eventually, I never went out of stubbornness.
At this point, I am 39 and if I give in and see that fucking film I FUCKING LOSE.
Oh, I've also never seen Rambo, Field of Dreams, or... I dunno some other lame pic I forget.

I so totally get that. I keep being told I should see Schindlers list, "Because everyone should see it" Fuck that then. After being told this, any cinematic merits the film may, or may not have, are immaterial! I will NOT be watching it.
I Don't care how good anyone says it might be. Or how many Oscars it's won.
A River runs through it? (Another one I won't be watching)
Or The Bridges of Madison County either.
Or Avatar. James Cameron's films have all been shite so far, so I'm not holding out for Avatar.
I will admit to seeing the last ten minutes of Titanic though, just to watch that grizzling Witch Winslett drown. I wanted Leo to go down too, so even that was a tainted joy.
Twilight I
Twilight II
Twilight III
Twilight IV
Some other movie
All the movies I've already not seen.

Not sure I'm getting this right, you want to not see them all? Again?
That means not sitting in front of a screen, for at least as long as you've not spent already in front of one.
Not sure I'd lack the concentration needed for doing that all over again.
Happy Feet. It will make you want to contract with demons to extract back that 2 hours of your life from the producers.

I'm quite happy to take your word for this. There are more than enough Demons around anyway, and as this short, but informative film shows, almost supernatural levels of prudence and care are needed when dealing with these denizens of darkness.
Lawyers have nothing on these tricksy bastards.

And now this film can be one of those ones, that you would have been happy to never, ever see, (But did.)
Bridges of Madison County
The Notebook
Shanghai Nights
The Lion King
Annie Hall
I would see these, just never made a special effort to do more than the odd scene or two when they are on TV:
Schindler's List
Titanic
Avatar
Saving Private Ryan

Private Ryan is best ingested in pieces, it's pretty brutal start to finish. Don't watch the last bit either. Spielberg kept his cock out of the film for as long as possible, but the last part just makes me wince.

I've got the same thing going with Lord of the Rings. People would not shut the fuck up about it when it(or they) came out so I didn't want to see it, and now I just refuse to watch it by principal.

I dunno... I've always thought that, as a whole, it was a fairly trite and cliche'd movie; but it had a magic trick in the beginning.
The first 15-20 minutes is so mind-bendingly chaotic, jarring, and realistically horrific that it wipes your brain of coherent thought, which causes it to yearn for a broad and obvious narrative with hit-you-over-the-head tropes. And that's what the remainder of the movie is.

Go see it. Sure, it's like the Queen of movies. It's a little overblown in places. But it's still a good entertaining series of movies. And yeah, they take some liberties with the books, but just forget the books and you'll be fine.

I put LOTR off for as long as I could, because I thought the Movie could not possibly live up to all the hype. Also, it seemed like an impossibly ambitious project, that had failed before.
And having had my hopes of anything I actually liked reading, translating well to Film, ground to a horrible, shit coloured paste under the obviously inappropriate heel of Sly Stallone, in "Judge Dredd" I was cynically loath to repeat the experience.
But I'm glad I did. I couldn't find any fault with it, thoroughly enjoyed it, and would happily watch any, or all of the films again. Just not at one big sitting. Sean Bean, although his acting abilities are limited, was not stretched too hard as Boromir, and surprised me how much it took to kill him. He dies really well in it, and I can't think of a better "Aren't I hard to kill?" scene in any film. (perhaps Scarface)
And the location was stunning. The only other thing I'd seen filmed in NZ, was Xena.

I thought it was a bit more engaging than similar work, like the arguably more accurate and researched "Band of Brothers". I'll have to watch it again with an eye to the tropes.

Didn't read the books for the same reason. All I know about LOTR is the synopsis that they made in Clerks(I forget which one). Basically during the first two movie they walk alot, and in the last one they walk and drop a ring in a volcano. I'm perfectly fine with my level of ignorance.
Wow. I enjoyed a lot of the movies on everybodys lists. Guess my head is on backwards again.

Funny thing, someone mentioned hype aversion. I have no kind of hype aversion whatsoever. What I have is some switch in my head that makes me, when someone says "I can't believe you've never seen XYZ!" with that "what rock have you been hiding under?" incredulity, as if it's simply unfuckingbelievable that any civilized person alive hasn't seen it, respond with "no, and I never will."

It's funny--the movies I mentioned have all been on TV or cable at some point or other, so I'll walk in the room and a scene from the movie'll be on. I casually watch it, out of sync with the rest of the movie, but I never see the whole. Well, except Avatar, of course, that just came out on DVD.

seen both . . . didn't kill me . . . so why these two?
also :dammit IO I've got the theme from GwtW stuck in my head now bloody earworm
I watched Gone with the Wind and Citizen Kane last year as part of an effort to see AFI 100 Greatest Movies (I still have 5 or 6 left that aren't on Netflix).
Citizen Kane is really, really good. It would have been better, I think, if fucking piece of shit Family Guy didn't have one of their super awesome jokes where Peter told the entire theater the ending. So there was no mystery for me.
Gone with the Wind is impressive, and not as terrible and difficult to get through as I thought it would be. It's not the longest movie ever - that still goes to Dances With Wolves, which is about 4 hours with the director's cut (I measure time sometimes by how many Dances With Wolves it is, just got off of 2 Dances With Wolves worth of sleep). The personal story that Gone with the Wind focuses on I don't really care about, but the larger theme of the vanishing Old South is interesting.
I could have gone my whole life without seeing The Sound of Music, though.
I don't think its realistic to expect spoilers to be kept secret for 70 years.
Everytime someone writes a list I go into a small seizure because there's always a movie that I love on there more anything.
I currently have one item on my list

I grudgingly sat through "Citizen Kane" about ten years ago, (grudgingly, because I was sick of being told how it was the best film ever)
because the girl who was waxing lyrical about how good it was , was hot, and I had every intention of bedding the wench.
I was really glad I made the effort, it was a riveting and engaging experience, from start to finish, and I'm not easily impressed by movies.
I can't say exactly that "It's the best Film ever made", but I can see how other people would say so. As an example of how to make a Film, it is perfect. When I saw how long it was, I originally thought "That's too long for a film" but it isn't. There is no part of the film that isn't integral, no wasted points, all the ingredients necessary, in all the right amounts. It's other films that are too short.
It also made me think, how many other really good films are out there, that I would enjoy if I allowed myself to be persuaded into watching them?
However many it is, I'm pretty certain that "The Sound of Music" is not one of them.
(And yes, I did get the the girl, so it was a double bonus!)

I kinda like sound of music
:sad:
There's not many movies I wont give a chance to, hell though I haven't seen the twilight sequel Im sure I will eventually, and Im sure it will be "hilarious".
I guess the only movies I sometimes wont give a chance to is remakes. I generally hate most remakes. If I hear that a remake is doing something different then the original and is generally good I probably will give it a change, or if it's staring someone I'm just interested in seeing the role, even if I know the movie will be terrible - like Angela Bettis playing Carrie.
Though even remakes that are generally pretty good I have a hard time getting into if I have seen the original before hand (which in the schlocky horror genre, exploitation genre, or giant monster genre me not seeing the original is next to impossible)
There are lots of movies I would never watch again except in a form of torture - Frankenstein's Great Aunt Tillie, Malibu Beach Vampires, Death Nurse, The Crater Lake Monster, ect. ect.
I think the worse experience I've had in a movie theater is Titanic. Not because its a terrible movie, but because it's long, it's not my taste, and it just got me in trouble with my date at the time.

I watched Audition when we decided to sort of randomly go see a weird-ass japanese movie. Bad idea. Don't need to watch again.
Agree with Freeky on the Saw movies, too. I only seen the first scene of one, where two people wake up in what seems to be a grimy public bathroom, chained to something or other and then they find a SAW of some kind and then I was like, yeah ... I can kinda figure where this is going now.
Also, the Sound of Music falls firmly within the "kinda bad but good" and "yeah catchy tunes" categories.

I watched Saw, but the first time I saw it, I missed the first 10 or 15 minutes, and for the rest of the film, I thought I was missing some major part of the plot. Then I watched it again, about a week later, and realised that I wasn't.

Audition is awesome, especially when you figure out what is going on, or what's not going on (wont spoil cause it takes about three viewings to figure it out).
Though marketed really poorly, marketing it as a horror movie is a bad idea. Though I got what I expected from a Takashi Miike film.
I dunno if I figured it out, then. I thought I had a pretty good idea. And I agree it's not really horror because the first half is really just like a sort of mellow romantic drama soap, a littlebit dreamy like you'd expect in a non-US movie. AND THEN SUDDENLY kidi-kidi-kidi-kidi-kidi-kidi-kidi-kidi-kidi-kidi-kidi-kidi :scared:
We all agreed we needed a strong drink afterwards.
And yeah, if I'm being completely honest, it was indeed a pretty good movie, IF you can stand that sort of thing. I do, however, never need to watch it again before I die :-P

I share your sentiment. Unfortunately, I've already seen it, and will never, ever get that time back.
And while I'm here, after seeing Kevin fucking Costners "Waterworld" I would still like to see him demonstrate how well those rubber gills of his really work, under 40 feet of icy water.
Costner's "Gargles with Halibut" would be more entertaining than "Dances with Wolves" IMO.
I'll watch just about anything, but I don't really ever want to watch Twilight.
Or any of the Saw movies.
I kind of wish I'd never seen Independence Day.
"Captain Corelli's Mandolin" was another one I thought of today, so was "The Full Monty", and "Notting Hill" ."Bridges of Madison County", "On Golden Pond" and Charles Bronson in "Family of Cops".
The problem with making lists like these is that these films are something you never, ever think about.

THEY ARE HEROES, NOT BUTTBUDDIES, kthx).
Some I did not see at the movies, 'cause I was a baby when some of them came out. But I saw them eventually. And I regret.

Okay, so they are. But still.

Oh, by the way, don't see Dragon Wars.
If I had to choose between spending 90 minutes in that theatre, or twice as long in prison, I would definitely choose prison.

Never seen "Showgirls, but from your description, it sounds like "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert".

-Any movie with Matthew McConnacunt
-Any movie by James Cameron
-Any movie series that has spawned multiple sequels before I was aware there was even one sequel (I'm looking at you, Saw)
-Same as the above, but with it having a sequel before I was aware there was even the first movie at all (I'm looking at you, Twilight)
-Any movie that is touted by critics for its "AMAZING SPECIAL EFFECTS", and for NOTHING else.
-Any movie which is an adaptation of a book I really enjoy. Most of the adaptations I have seen so far leave me thinking either/or is the best policy in these cases.

Yeah, Showgirls belongs in that other thread about bad movies worth seeing. The acting is awful, but, it's just one of those things you gotta see. But not the cable versions. What's the point of showing that movie on cable?

I think Batman is getting a bit of an unfair slating here. In the whole of the DC Universe, he is still a top hitter, up there with the best of them, JLA, The Flash, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Nightwing, Superman, but he still hasn't got any superpowers! And I think the homoerotic subtext in Batman is all down to Adam West, camping it up, 40 bloody years ago! And he still keeps Gotham safe, rubber nipples or not. And Bane is still staying away, as far as I know.
Batman is a fucking Hero! As for blatant homosexuality, between him and Robin, well, I must have missed that bit! Rumours, lies, and innuendo. Nothing more. Not even a whiff of any impropriety. OK, a billionare playboy, with an underage "ward" called Dick, who wears a miniskirt, and tights, but it was the fucking 60's people! All that stuff was manly, and heroic back then! I mean, the Joker obviously had teh Gay for Batman, but Batman never led him on, or flirted with him. Ok, so he flirted with him, but only to put him off his guard, once or twice. It was obvious he was in love with Catwoman. When she was Eartha Kitt. You only had to see them dancing together to see the sexual magnetism there! Look at him dancing with all these hot chicks, then try and say he's anything other thasn a red-blooded hetero!

Yeah, any movie by James Cameron is dead in the water, as far as I'm concerned. Every film of his I've seen, flows with all the grace,and smoothness of a river of housebricks. So I'm not convinced that he suddenly got it right with "Avatar". Stilted, and preachy, with shades of mid 70's Disney technique, and the "moral messages" he always thinks he slips ever so subtly into the plots, you can generally see the marks of the crowbar he uses to wedge them in. As an afterthought, by the looks of it. Fuck him anyway.
It's unusual to see a film that lives up to your expectations of a good book. But a notable exception was LOTR. I enjoyed the book immensely when I read it, and was resolutely prepared to be let down by the Film. But I loved it. Even Sean Bean was cast well as Boromir. And his acting always hits its peak in his death scenes. (I quite enjoy watching Sean Bean die) And when you think he's gone, with that farking huge Uruk Hai arrow stuck right in him, he jumps up again to try and save the lickle mudkieps, but is brutally, and convincingly hacked to bits by that big ugly bastard. And still manages to hold out until Aragorn, Legolas and Wee Hagrid get there. Class!

That's actually not a bad review of "Avatar". Although I have now seen a little more of the film, than I was ever intending to, it doesn't count because It's more than made up for by seeing that fucking boat sink again. And again. :p James Cameron is certainly no Ridley Scott. I prefer Ed Wood's films to Cameron. At least they are unpretentious.
And there's a beautifully placed meme in the middle of the review too. "The best thing about waking up, is Acid in your coffee!"
And I'm glad it's not just me that hates Cameron's spastically lurching plots, "messages" and "Right on" PC Bullywank.
Hopefully he can afford to take the rest of his life off now. But I kind of know he won't. Directors are worse than Despotic Dictators, whan it comes to retirement.
The way the special effects were pimped before LOTR nearly put me off seeing it in the Cinema, but although they are brilliant, the Film doesn't rely on them to sneak a shitty plot, or a whole bunch of crap acting on the audience.

I just don't like a movie about women complaining about how they never got used to the feeling of not getting their face ejaculated on.
Top Gun. never wanna see.
will listen to the song from it tho
TAKE MY BREATH AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
It had a pretty decent soundtrack. "Danger Zone" was enjoyable, until everybody played it to death.
