    Ok my mates were talking the other day about Indiana Jones movies, and I was like I have never seen none them. They couldnt believe I had never seen an Indiana Jones movie. So what I am wondering is there one out there that have never watched some movies which they should have seen according to their mates.

    Mine are the following:

    The Aliens Trilogy
    The Godfather Trilogy
    The Indiana Jones Trilogy

    You haven't seen THESE films?

    Get out of the film forum, tbh.

    Just leave.


    And by god, don't come back until you've seen AT LEAST Godfather 1 & 2, Alien and Aliens. You heathen.

    --

    Personally, I've never seen The Killing or Pathes of Glory. Harder to come by than most of Kubricks work.

    This is what I mean, I have just never got round to seeing any of these movies like. Aliens have never really interested me, nor does the adventure stuff that is Indiana Jones, although I must get hold of the Godfather trilogy having just recently got into to The Sopranos.

    I have a feeling this thread is going to give me a peptic ulcer.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 294 ✭✭eggshapedfred


    I've never seen anything directed by Martin Scorsese, but I'll get around to it...

    I haven't seen Casablanca yet... gonna watch it over the holidays though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    Oh.. I've seen everything... and if I haven't seen a film, I probably know enough about it to pretend I have.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    I've actually got a couple of films here on DVD that I've not gotten around to watching yet, such as The Grudge (Original of course), Onibaba and maybe a couple of others. Other than that, there's probably a few old classics that might've passed me by, but nothing I can really think of offhand.

    Have a few DVDs I haven't got round to watching either :)

    Haven't seen Citizen Kane yet but not for want of trying. There is always something on that makes empty head me forget to tape the film.

    Same deal with the Third Man. Have taped it 3 times and on three ocassions my parents have taped over it before I got around to watchng it. They did the same with the last episode of last seasons 24 after I hadn't missed one of them. Still haven't seen it. My parents aren't very far away from being killed in mysterious circumstances.

    I've never seen Casablanca, Gone with the Wind or Citizen Kane all the way through, and most film critics would say I’m not entitled to an opinion about films until I have.

    Truth is I wouldn’t be bothering buying them, and just have never caught them on TV (Unless I was drunk), but I’m probably doing myself a great injustice as I love other films form that time (Lost Weekend, Maltese Falcon and of course, Hitchcock's work)

    Am I the only person on the planet who has never seen ANY of the Star Wars films?

    I haven't watched any of them in full either. They just don't work for me!

    I haven't watched Citizen Kane, Gone with the Wind either. Maybe I should :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,199 ✭✭✭Jimi-Spandex


    Never seen any of the Jaws movies. Or anything with John Wayne. Gone with the Wind is another one. Never intend to watch any of them either.

    Movies I haven't seen but want to (Off the top of my head, and netflix queue)

    Paths to Glory,(I think it's about the only Kubrick movie I haven't seen)
    Battleship Potempkin
    Fitzcaralldo
    Dial M for Murder
    Stalker


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,676 ✭✭✭Chong

  • Registered Users Posts: 6,309 ✭✭✭OfflerCrocGod


    Gone with the wind is bring tripe that no one should watch tbh. I haven't seen the Godfather trilogy. I probably will over Xmas.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 664 ✭✭✭Nimrod's Son


    I still haven't got around to watching The Shawshank Redemption. Something I constantly get slated for.

    Dial M for Murder is brilliant. Citizen Kane is great and I'd also recommend the Magnificent Ambersons.

    I've never finished watching Stalker. It's kinda hard going.

    I also have and really liked the first half of Le Regle de Jeu but never watched the second half. Lord only knows why... Some day.

    i've never seen any hitchcock movies.. but there's a huge murder of crows outside work for some reason so i've vowed to try and buy The Birds this evening before i go drinking. hopefully.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,746 ✭✭✭Drag00n79


    The Great Escape, Blade Runner and Dr Strangelove.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,816 ✭✭✭Franky Boy


    Bottle Rocket.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,144 ✭✭✭LundiMardi


    ok lets get this straight people, there's only ONE jaws movie, mmk? ONE!!!! The others are just mistakes.

    There are loads of films i haven't seen, but that's most likely because i didn't want to see them in the first place.

    I've only seen/own (with me these days, its pretty much the same thing, as I don't watch TV or rent DVDs, the only way I see films is if I buy them) two Hitchcock movies - Rear Window and Vertigo. Psych is the next movie I really plan on picking up.

    I haven't seen 2001 - A Space Odyssey (sp?) yet, and I mean to, and the same goes for Lawrence of Arabia and the Seventh Seal. I'm not overly pushed about Gone With The Wind. I';m trying pretty hard to catch up on the classics though; in the last few weeks I got myself The Wild Bunch, The Searchers, A Clockwork Orange, The Seven Samuri and Rear Window.
