So what big TV programs and movies have you never watched.

Ive never watched Starwars apart from a couple of 2min clips. Never encountered Harry Potter and managed about 10 minute's of lord of the rings with a bad hangover before giving up and saying never again.


TV ive never seen family guy.

Any of the Harry Potter films.

Lord of the Rings. Tried for about 20 mins on first one, then gave up.

Sound of Music.

Les Misrables.

Must be plenty more.

Star Wars - can't bear it and never have ... Harry Potter, all the CDI rubbish they make now - can't stand it.

The Batman films ... the Bourne films etc - Fast & Furious type stuff ... garbage! Just not my thing.

Gimme something made in 1955 in black and white though and I'm there.

As for TV - I have never watched Friends, Cheers or any othat stuff - M A S H ... I used to purposefully ignore when it was on -

I did watch Top Gun though - two weeks ago - for the first time. Absolute rubbish, but the wife wanted me to watch it. Some of it was just cringeworthy ...

Films :
Lord of the Rings – Tolkien really isn’t my thing
Spiderman, Batman etc. - Kid's stuff.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s
It’s a wonderful life

TV:
X factor
Strictly come dancing
Britain’s got talent
The voice
Downton Abbey
Holby City
Soaps. It would be an exaggeration to say I have never seen Eastenders, Coronation street, Emmerdale etc, but I don’t watch any of them and have not done so since childhood.

I rarely watch tv so as well as cack like BGT/reality stuff etc, more notable TV I missed would be :-
Breaking Bad
24
The Sopranos
The-one-about-the-1960s-Ad-Men-in-the-USA

Probably loads more.

I watch films but that's more a taste thing, so there's loads of notables I won't have seen. Anything too grim or serious I generally miss.

Not seen a whole episode of:

Any of the CSI or NCIS series or spin offs.
24
House
Dexter

there will be others, but they are the main ones I can think of. Edit to add The Wire and Sopranos.

Film series I've not seen or only seen bits of:

Harry Potter
Lord Of The Rings
Final Destination
Saw

The horror and medical blood stuff isn't really my thing, I'm fine with guns and being blown up, once somebody gets a needle or a scalpel out, I'm off (Or a spoon, hello that scene in Utopia series 1). I tried to watch the first episode of Dexter, felt queasy, turned it off. Never going to watch a Saw film, ever.

I did watch about 10 minutes of the first Harry Potter, but that's it.

Nothing's "Must see", it's only TV and film smile

Off the top of my head, here's stuff on my HDD that I've yet to get around to watching:
Midnight in Paris (2011)
The Lincoln Lawyer
Her
Solaris (1972)
Stalker (1979)
Running Scared (2006)
Primer
Metropolis (1927)
Gangster Squad

I'm not usually a blockbuster fan, I usually manage to avoid big hype movies for a couple of years (Titanic, Top Gun, Gladiator), the bigger the hype, the longer I'll wait.

I've never seen an episode of 24, the Shield or the Wire. I've also never seen any of the LOTR movies (apart from the first 40 minutes of the first one, twice.) I tried but I'd have to be glued to my seat, literally, to watch anymore of it.
