Confess! What Popular Movies Have You Never Seen?

[CUBE]

It's a Wonderful LIfe

 

[agnslz]

If I haven't seen them, how do I know if they're popular?

Hearing others talk about them?

It's a Wonderful LIfe

That was going to be my original answer.

I've also never seen:

Star Wars
Lord of the Rings
Casablanca
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
The Sound of Music
Mary Poppins
West Side Story
When Harry Met Sally
Sleepless In Seattle
The Green Mile
Million Dollar Baby


And up until very recently I'd never seen Gone With the Wind.

Some more recent ones:

High School Musical
Fast and Furious
Bring It On

Citizen Kane
Schindler's List - I'm very empathetic and I'm afraid I will weep all the way through it.
Harry Potter - I fall asleep when they start playing soccer on broomsticks.
The Lion King
High School Musical
Bruno
Twelve Angry Men
Lord of the Rings
Lawrence of Arabia

Easy Rider
Deliverance
Harry Potter (none of them)

I love the Big Lebowski...one of the most hysterical movies ever...

don't know how women react to it though, admittedly

 

[Flashy]

Ive never seen Titanic...I thought the hype surrounding that movie would never fucking end....

you're not missing anything.

the Ship sinking however, was a masterpiece of cinematic technical wizardry...

all the nonsense aside, the sinking itself was extremely well done...the cringeworthy writing and nonsense though were a bit silly

Thought you were calling me Lord Joll then. :wink:

Nope haven't seen it - but had the soundtrack, lol. Haven't seen Kill Bill or Reservoir Dogs either. BUT - have seen Goodfellas and Casino (altho they're not Tarantino).

Ive never seen Titanic...I thought the hype surrounding that movie would never fucking end....

They never manage to avoid the iceberg, no matter how many times I watch it.

Geez, this is a hard question for me, cause I've seen basically every movie you could ever think of, lol.

I'm a pop culture nerd. :biggrin1:

I saw all of those except Star Wars and I walked out of Forrest Gump after 20 minutes!
