Drunken Bungle Whore

Some you're glad you missed - others you've always meant to - what are they?

Dirty Dancing & Titanic - Never seen - never really want too!
Goddfellas - Really want to watch, just never got around to it yet!
All 3 Godfathers - seen most of the first one - but it's finding the time for them all!

Jap2Scrap

Braveheart
Dances With Wolves
Schindler's List
The Shawshank Redemption

It seems that once a movie's been labelled an all time great I lose interest in seeing it.

Chrisgr31

Never seen any of the Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings Films, and come to that only seen Titantic of those above.

Won;t go to an overhyped film as a matter of principle!

messiah

Dirty Dancing
The Exorcist (don't want to either)
Godfather Trilogy

Star Wars Episode 3

Never seen Das Boot (only bits of it) keep meaning to get the DVD but never have...

Squizz

Yup, similar...

Braveheart
Dances With Wolves
Titanic
Schindler's List

I think my main reason is that I watch films to be entertained and transported to a different place.

I'd rather not watch some N*zi idiot shooting people for the fun of it. Or someone being hung, drawn and quartered. Not exactly uplifting stuff in the main.

Edited to add :-

Saving Private Ryan is another example of something I've avoided for the same reasons.

I'd say the Shawshank Redemption is my all time favourite film, but it was so emotionally costly that I'm never going to watch it again!!!!

Spoon

I can't say I've actually watched a film full stop!!

Petem95

Lion King
Sixth Sense (heard the twist on the mark&lard show - not able to watch it now!)
Dirty Dancing

It's probably easier to list the ones I have seen

One that shocks the geeks around my office though is that I've never seen Star wars

Geezer

What principle is that then? How do you know a film is overhyped until you see it?

Some (admittedly very few) are worth the hype.

Anyway.......

Sound of Music
Mary Poppins
Gone with the Wind
Citizen Kane

that I can remember

Geezer

Tiggs

I remember an interview with Kevin Costner after he won his Oscars for Dances With Wolves....he was saying how the Oscars are great but it killed the films profitability because of all the people who would act on their principles and not watch a hyped film......he was really quite distressed.

Brit_in_Japan

where to start...?

Titanic
E.T.
Lord of the Rings series
Star Wars prequel series
Spiderman series
Batman series
Saving Private Ryan
and lots lots more.....

some I never fancied and others I've just never got around to.

Buzzer

Andrew, you must watch it, one of my faves along with "The Pianist"

Kevin Spacey's best ever performance

popeye

Excellent flick that Andrew. Well worth a go.

scoob_babe

I think my list would be too long but here's a few I 've never seen

Schindlers List
Braveheart
Lord of the Rings
Matrix 1,2,3
Harry Potter as above
Titanic
Shrek
Shrek 2


I think it would be fair to say I'm not a film buff!!

TurboKitty

There are probably loads because I'm not very good at sitting still and concentrating for long enough to watch a film. However, the only one I can think of at the moment is Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Oh, and Seven. I haven't watched that one deliberately because I can't decide whether it will disturb my delicate self...!

InvisibleMan

elf
bad santa
a very brady christmas

any of those great christmas movies that ive meant to see....

messiah

I reckon you should see the LOTR series - I got the first one on Region 1 from the US before it got it's UK release (forgot I ordered it) and I wasn't expecting to enjoy it - I heard the word "Wizards" and thought it would be total pants like the last Wizard film I watched (Harry Potter) so god knows why I bought it. Watched it and thought "That was OK I suppose".

Didn't see 2 towers until just before the last one came out - and I probably only watched it because I'd seen Fellowship. I reckon 2 Towers was the one that got me hooked - I loved it.

I usually watch it sat in front of the TV with the headphones on - the soundtrack is awesome.

Deffo worth a look - I was expecting to hate them but they're probably my favourite films now.

Freak

dirty dancing- will never ever watch it

Lord of the rings 2, 3
Jurrasic park 2 3
Stra wars prequels
Matrix 2 3
Exorcist

alcazar

Haven't been to the cinema since 1972, and have no intention of ever going again.

Dirty, noisy, anti-social, and that's just the audience

Over priced, over hyped crap, most films.

I'll wait 'till it's on DVD or TV if I REALLY want to see it.

Alcazar

InvisibleMan

hadnt seen the Great Escape till fairly recently. They all got caught, what was great about that???

Though that had to be the greatest misleading trailer ever. Usually trailers show the best/only funny part of the film. But all this time i thought Steve McQueen escapes jumping over the fence only then to find out theres another fence he cant jump & he gets caught....

Geezer

Well I think you'd find they've changed a bit since 1972 then. The mulitplexes around here are generally clean, and I must admit I don't find them noisy (never did though). As for anti-social, well, sitting at home on your own is too, so I don't really see what you mean there.

There are lots of films that should be seen on a big screen though, it just ain't the same on a TV. People say "I don't know what the fuss is all about", but seeing it as it should be, on a huge screen that you struggle to take in all at once with big sound can be a totally different experience to sitting in front of your telly, with the lights on and the missus babbling on about rubbish whilst you try and concentrate!

Geezer

jonc

I haven't seen 2 Fast 2 Furious. Heard it was an all time classic.

Debbie does Dallas....Does it even exist??? :-D

Serious answer: All the classics e.g. Gone with the Wind etc....

Best.

andrewdelvard

Yeah it does. Worked in **** for the best part of 15 years and after 'Deep Throat' and 'Animal Farm' it was the title most asked for.

Cheers Andrew, had always wondered. :-D

You worked in ****? In what capacity......I was gonna say 'what position', but thought better of it. :-)

Best.

The Exorcist
LOTR 2 & 3 - Seeing the first put me off
Gone With The Wind (and frankly, I don't give a damn)
2F2F
Faces of Death (does this even exist?)
The Godfather series - playing in the background on Xmas Day doesn't really count
Ditto Ben Hur
Many films with Dustbin Hoffman (did see Marathon Man just to see his tooth being drilled )
Jungle Book - seen some scenes many times, but not the whole film

corradoboy

Never been in the slightest bit interested in Italians killing Italians, so The Godfather's and Goodfellows have passed me by. Most others I've seen including "Debbie" The skinny girl in the sauna has a talent
