Movies you should have seen by now, but haven't...

[Digby]

Your friends reply with "What?! You have never seen..(insert movie here).......?!!"
I'm sure many of us have found ourselves in this situation.

One of mine would be the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I never found the concept
appealing at all and several times people have been surprised to hear I have yet to see it.

Recently, someone I know admitted they had never seen a single Star Wars film, despite being
in their 50s.

Any other examples? I won't judge!

That's another one on my list!

On the Waterfront.

All the Harry Potters, tried just find them dull, well the first one.

[Jinba Ittai]

Although not a film, i’ve never seen even five minutes of Game of Thrones. The whole ‘swords and dragons’ fantasy genre does not appeal to me in the slightest. Never understood people uncontrollably ejaculating at the very mention of it.

GoT is a strange one because most people think it's about fantasy/dragons and magic, that's just the world it's set in, it's mainly about (at least at the start) political gameplay, one upmanship in politics and war. Through out the whole series there is the underlying magic/dragons and fantasy that underpins the whole thing, but it's really not about that.

I'll add another of my own...

Schindler's List.

[blingybongy]

Forest Gump
Titanic
All Harry Potters

And no intention of ever watching them.

I also dislike fantasy, swords and dragons but absolutely loved GOT.

The godfather.

Right up my street too but for some reason I’ve never watched it.

That's me. 57, never seen any of them. Or Star Trek. That whole genre bores me to tears.

[coldel]

Forest Gump is still a film I can watch over and over, modern classic.

I've not seen Quadrophenia

[Shakermaker]

Blade Runner
Godfather trilogy
2001
Scarface

Off the top of my head. Just haven't got around to it yet

[anonymous-user]

I haven't seen any of the Godfathers either. I thought it was just me.

I thought it was about tits?

And Dragons, don't forget the Dragons!

I watched the first series, was more than enough for me.

Forest Gump

Trainspotting

We haven't seen any of GoT yet... my missus seems quite keen to watch it and I suspect if the lockdown continues much longer she'll give in and subscribe to NOW TV for a month so we can watch them all then cancel. I'm prepared to be underwhelmed but all this talk about tits has perked my interest up somewhat

Likewise, Robert De Niro is one of my favourite actors but I've just never got round to watching any of the trilogy.

One to sort out during the lockdown.
