Ive Never Actually Seen THAT Film!!!

A lot of times in life, you hear a phrase such as "How have you never seen that film before?!?!"
there is always someone out there who hasnt seen a world famous classic that everybody else has. So this is your chance to share yours. Which films have you never got round / been bothered to watch despite everyone else saying it is the best film ever. Which film would elicit a response like the one above. I will start with 3:

I have never seen: Top Gun, Dirty Dancing or Avatar.

Over to you...

Dirty Dancing is my guilty pleasure

Bladerunner
2001 A Space Odyssey
Citizen Kane

Avatar
Raging Bull
Lion King
Lawrence of Arabia
Gone With the Wind

Could almost add Schindler's List & Casablanca but saw them last week.

Don't bother. Better off watching paint dry, then get wet, then dry again. Would take less time too.

Godfather films for me, although I've read the book. And actually have the films on my computer... just have to find time in my busy schedule of doing not much to find the motivation to watch them.

Don't bother, I have performed better.

Gone With The Wind
Ben Hur
Ice Age
The Hangover or its sequel
Fight Club
Any John Wayne film

That doesn't matter, pal. So long as you can carry a watermelon you'll do fine.

(It's a guilty pleasure of mine as well mate. I was devastated when the old couple were exposed as the thieves)

Yeah, melons are my forte 

Never seen Titanic. Never will.

I wish I could say the same, super.

It has one good scene with couple of redeeming features but that is it.

I have never seen loads of films that people say I should have seen.

All Star Wars
All Godfather films
All Lord of the Rings
Pulp Fiction (well, not all of it at least)
Schindler's List

That's quite a list, sodhat.

Yet you watch WWF and play guitar hero.

You're wasting your life sodhat. Wasting it.

I wish I hadn't seen Lord Of The Rings. I'll never get that time back!

I'm quite shocked by Pulp Fiction. I thought everyone had seen that film!!

I'm on the wagon with wrestling at the moment, I haven't actually watched it for months.

I've come too far to watch these films now. It would feel like a cop out, a backtrack. I have to stay strong and not watch them. I have no desire to see any of the Lord of the Rings films though. Looks like a billion hours of crap to me.

How can you say that about Lord of the Rings!?

Muliply that by a gazillion and you would still be way off how crap it is.

I loved the LOTR films 

all the godfathers (have them sky plused but never in the mood o have time to watch them).
2001 A Space Odyssey
Citizen Kane
Casablanca

Do the "couple of redeeming features" includes Kate Winslett's fun bags? I've seen them in a number of films and I'd say they're solid rather than spectacular and certainly couldn't carry a film (or a pencil for that matter).

Nothing wrong with that Stella  they're just not my bag. Same goes for that Potter boy. Never seen the films or read the books. And never will either.

I'd rather watch poorly acted shark attack films like Shark In Venice, Bait and Shark Attack.

Yep, those are the ones.

I have seen them in other films, but never get tired of it. Bit like Helen Mirren, even though it is like spying on your nan in the shower.

E.T.

I keep meaning to watch this film but never have.

Anyone who has not seen the Godfather films or at least the first two really has not lived. Am big into films so am struggling to think of many films folk consider stone cold classics i have not seen. Have even watched Citizen Kane and not just pretended to. (apparently it is the film most people lie about having seen)

My brief rant about The War Zone the other day was probably inspired by the scenes with Tilda Swinton in the buff not long after she'd given birth to twins in real life.  Not pleasant.

Speaking of Winslet films, have either of you lads seen 'Jude'?

Mimsy-tastic.

Don't know that Citizen Kane is the film most people lie about having seen but pretty sure it's the one most people lie about having as their favourite.

Yes, but you're a sick man Galted. That much has been obvious for some time.

I probably should clarify at this point that I didn't mean spying on superfly's nan in the shower. Which I have never done.

Yet.

I have never watched any of the Matrix films all the way through

Apparently so Galted, think Casablanca and Gone with the Wind were on the list as well. Can understand Gone with the Wind, it does go on some.

Watch the first one, avoid the second two the way you would avoid the plague would be my advice.

Oh yes, Gia. Seen that an'all.

Please don't use the word Mimsy from now on.

Never watched any of the Scream Franchise or the Harry Potter Franchise (am immensely proud of the second one and when my daughter grows up I will cite me saying "I don't care what people say I am NOT sitting and watching that guff with you, ask your mum" as the pivotal moment when she officially decides that I am the worst parent ever.

Thanks Tino, no use being sick if no-one notices.

For anyone else with an immoral/borderline-stalker interest in Winona Ryder, if you play the scene where she decides to become a vampire in Bram Stoker's Dracula in slow-motion, you can clearly see her right t1t through her night-dress (possibly nipple as well although that may have been my imagination).  Thought you could see her bush too at first but she's wearing briefs.

Some of the Potter films weren't too bad, Prisoner of Azkaban was actually quite good.  Would avoid Chamber of Secrets & Goblet of Fire though.

I'll be avoiding all of them....trust me.

All Star Wars
All Star Treks
All Godfathers
All Lord Of The Rings
All Harry potters
All Twilights

The Shining
Schindlers List

The former because i've rarely felt in the mood for a horror or there has been something better on if I was and the latter because i'd rather not see a hollywoodification of a fantastic novel

Gotta say Shah that your reasoning for not watching Schindler's List seems a strange one. I've read the book (back when it was originally called Schindler's Ark) and the impact is no less intense whether it's the book or the film.

The film makes makes no apology for Schindler's willingingness to profit from the war and doesn't gloss over his adulterous nature and yes whilst the scene where he finally parts from the people on his list may be a sentimental dramatisation of actual events I think overall it's one of the finest films I've ever seen

Do yourself a favour and watch it. If you aren't moved by it then I will have you outed as an unfeeling cyborg

Rule 57 breach - Human knows too much -Eliminate Target

I havent seen the film dave so it seems sensible to me - I will however endeavour to watch it when Ive got a day off

Good man...can't watch The Shining as Shelley Duvall's(?) face is scarier than anything Jack Nicholson can portray. She looks like she needs a high end make over and something (ANYTHING) doing with that limp lifeless hair daaaahling!!!!!!!

seen nearly all of the big modern day films but im rubbish at going back to the oldies, never seen:

Casablanca (not all the way through anyway)
gone with the wind
12 angry men

recently borrowed 12 angry men off a mate and still haven't got round to watching it

It says a lot about how I spend my spare time that there's not a film that's been mentioned that I haven't seen... apart from Tino Does Dallas.

WATCH IT!! 

Would also recommend you watch Schindler's List Shah.  Watched some of it in the early 90s but stopped watching at the scene with the little girl in the red coat as I'd decided that it was a load of pretentious w*nk.  My brother explained to me recently that it was relevant to the film & that I was being a knob who was only denying myself so I watched it & have to admit it was above average.  Wouldn't put it in my top 10 but definite top 50 material.

As for anyone who hasn't seen 12 Angry Men, agree with Dass, WATCH IT!!  Definite top 10 material.
