    I'm ashamed to say I have seen every one of the mentioned films so far. Even dirty dancing. (I had a dumbass stepsister who loved it when we were kids)

    Can't think of any films I haven't seen.

    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.

    How could you not have seen a James Bond film? Just being alive and a TV on you'll see a bond. Especially around Christmas.

    :eek: PUL Eeeeease watch The Green Mile! Good lord, ye could walk under a truck tomorrow! I have the DVD on my shelf. Watched it several times. Never bored me.


    I've never seen a Star Wars film. Simply because 'space' just isn't my thing.

    Funnily enough though, I'll simply never tire of watching the Eddie Izzard skit of it! :D

    Wait, missed the bit about being embarrassed to not have seen.

    None. If I had wanted to watch it, I would have.

    Didn't hate it but it's definitely nonsense.


    I've not seen any of the hundreds of Batman fillums of the last 15 years. And none of the millions of superhero ones either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,703 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    Star Wars. All of them.
    But it's on my Bucket List!!!!

    Great movies, you should really give then a look.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,622 ✭✭✭Ruu


    Far too many to mention. Most 'blockbusters'.

    I only saw Blues Brothers for the first time last year.

    I am going to watch Bladerunner this weekend if I get time.

    Guess you've never seen this https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/mongol/ then. It's not very Art House.

    Never seen any of the Pixar films, Harry Potter, Marvel films or newer Star Wars.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,574 ✭✭✭HalloweenJack


    Star Wars
    I've seen a bit of the first one and, over the years, I've caught wind of the story and what happens and, frankly, I'm not really bothered about seeing it.

    I can't get into James Bond and have not seen any 007 film made in the last 20 years!

    Most of the films mention here are over rated, over glorified muck.

    Godfather trilogy, don't get the appeal. First is meh, 2nd is good, 3rd is tripe.

    Shawshank, seriously? It's grand like but has to be one of the most over rated films of all times? It's always top of these 'must see before you die lists.

    LOTR trilogy, a wash of boring over used CGI coupled with poor scripting / acting. Just wasn't a fan, ruined the books for me.

    Starwars, meh. Original trilogy is decent, hasn't aged well at all.

    Etc.. Etc..

    Suppose it's all subjective.

    I know you entitled to your opinion but you're just plain wrong about the Godfather trilogy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    Haven't ever seen a Star Wars or Lord d the Rings film. They're just not of any interest to me.
