    Pulp Fiction.

    I'm just starting to watch it now.

    So, what films are you almost embarrassed to never have watched?

    Godfather trilogy.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I've never watched a Star Wars or Harry Potter movie .......... but I'm actually quite proud of that fact. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,047 ✭✭✭GerB40


    Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Taken. There's probably more but everyone seems to have seen those movies.

    War of the buttons. Is it actually worth a watch as an adult?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,152 ✭✭✭26000 Elephants


    I've never seen Dirty Dancing from start to finish. Seemed to see loads of bits of it, just never could tolerate it for long.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,442 ✭✭✭ofcork


    Lord of the rings trilogy sat through 5 mins of one but gave up.

    A number of people in this thread need to be slapped and have someone walk behind them at all times shouting 'shame'

    A number of people in this thread probably already have, but that's going off topic...

    Haven't seen any of the Harry Potter or James Bond films and I've zero interest in changing that.

    Haven't seen Avatar, any of the Jurassic Park films or The Lion King either.

    Each to their own but it's a thing of cinematic beauty

    Try it another time

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,593 ✭✭✭theteal


    Probably some old classics like Citizen Kane and a handful of others that I can't think of just now but have made a note in my subconscious that I will watch them at some stage.

    And Bourne. . .never watched a Bourne film


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,363 ✭✭✭KingBrian2


    Not a great selection on the Demand player. I was hoping to watch the film Khartoum. Never did see that nor Lawrence of Arabia which I am planning to shortly.

    Schindler's List. I do intend to watch it sometime though.

    Two films I only watched in the last few years and I was blown away by are One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and It's a Wonderful Life.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭maudgonner


    I've never seen a Rambo movie.

    Also most of the big Disney animations - The Lion King, Beauty & The Beast, Cinderella, Snow White, Aladdin etc etc.

    There's quite a few that I haven't seen but the one that always draws gasps from others (well, females anyway) is when I tell them that I am also a female, of the appropriate vintage to remember it when it first came out, and I have never seen Dirty Dancing all the way through.

    I still don't think I've gotten a proper look at the shark from Jaws..... a cushion over my face usually sorted that one out.

    I've seen it unfortunately. I hate this shíte that if you're female you have to love that film. It's such unbelievable schmaltz. And feckin' 'Beaches'. And 'The Notebook'.
