I've never seen these movies!

Musikelektronik

The whole Hunger Games phenomenon has reminded me that I have a long-running "streak" of sorts: I have avoided all of the top-grossing movies of the past 20+ years. Here's a list of movies that I HAVEN'T seen and have no intention of seeing:

The Hunger Games
Any of the Twilight movies
Any of the Harry Potter movies
Avatar
Titanic
Any of the Jurassic Park movies
Any Star Wars movie made after 1977
Any animated movies by Disney or Pixar

Sorry, I'm not just not into the big Hollywood blockbuster. What about you?

SteffieMark

LOL I am so not a movie person. My husband cringes at the thought that I have never seen...

ANY Star Wars movies
ANY Twilight Movies
ANY animated movies by Disney or Pixar
Avatar
The Hunger Games
ET
Thelma and Louise
The Princess Bride (Hubby's favorite!)
Anything with Vin Diesel
Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Ok, the list would really be much too long. It would probably be easier to list what I HAVE seen. haha

Edit: Had to add one!

I've never seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off. That fact scandalizes most people I know.

Avatar was really cool visually, but the movie itself was blah.

taxidermist15

Grease
Sound of music
Jaws
Psycho


all the classics... nup

Any Star Wars movie made after 1977

So you only saw episode IV?

All those films suck, apart from the first jurassic park.

You really should give pixar a go though, even though they're disney films they're pretty deep and creative, and wonderful really.

Wall-e is great, seen Up! once and it broke my heart (never cried so much over a movie), and the toy story films are great (I'd say the third is the best but you have to watch the first two to get the benefit from it).

There's loads of great pixar films really, you should watch their documentary they made fairly recently, they look like some awesome people :L


eta: Huge disney film, favourites are lion king, little mermaid, the hunchback of notre dame, and I love Mulan and how it changes the disney princess thing. (Just realised none of my favourite disneys are little girly princess films!)

any of the Godfather movies. or Gone with the Wind. some of the major classics. and any Cheech and Chong film - not necessarily a classic, but still get some odd looks about it given who my set of friends were after school.

I'm not particularly up on pop culture, but I have seen most of those on the list one way or another. I haven't and probably won't see the Hunger Games, saw the first Twilight (hooray for $1 Redbox Rentals), and I've seen through Harry Potter movie 5. You are SOOOOOOOOOOOO Lucky on avoiding Avatar. I was dragged to it kicking and screaming on December 23rd after Christmas Shopping. Titanic is hilarious. Star Wars is pretty classic, at least the original series, even though I'm more of a Trekkie, and Toy Story, Toy Story 2 (didn't want to cry with 3...) and Cars are fantastic.

with you on the Pixar thing. The only Pixar movie I can do without, and would be generally happy watching it burn and shrivel up into ash is Cars 2. That movie was... painful. I admit there were some funny parts, but I was bored halfway through the movie. You are never supposed to get bored through a Pixar movie. Ever. Saw it at home with the GF though, so that was a payoff I guess.

Excited about their two projects in the works, Monsters Inc. 2 and an untitled project where humans and dinosaurs evolved together, rather than dinosaurs dying out. Based on a kids book I think.

You have to see Saving Private Ryan and Pitch Black. Diesel's best pictures.

Never seen:

Star Wars (any of the 50 versions)
Star Trek

Not even Saving Private Ryan? Like who hasn't seen that movie?! It's one of the greatest movies ever!

Totally agree. Avatar was Dances with Wolves with great visual effects.

Best reason to watch Saving Private Ryan..... Vin Diesel dies.

Guess I am a weirdo... I have seen all of them (excluding star wars) and would watch them all again... no regrets either! Aww the joys of seeing a movie!

Anything SF, for that matter
The whole of Titanic. I started, it was so painfully boring that I had to give up.
Lord of the Rings
Forrest Gump (or anything with Tom Cruise in it)
Any Transformers
Rocky
Any Mission Impossible
Any Austin Powers

I'm gonna add more to the list when I remember them.

I saw Star Wars, whatever that was, as a kid in 1977. That's it.

Musikelektronik

Add that to my list. I hate Tom Hanks. Ever since Forrest Gump won the Best Picture Oscar over Pulp Fiction in '94, I've refused to see anything with Tom Hanks in it!

sunkisses

I have the same aversion. If everyone else likes it, I will not like it. It's a big reason why I don't watch TV either.

I was forced to watch Avatar so I could write a social commentary on it. I did not enjoy it one bit. Sat uncomfortably through it from beginning to end.

I was also taken to see Transformers. I immediately fell asleep. It's how I shut down when I can't escape.

I've never seen and never will see:

The Hunger Games
Twilight saga
The Matrix series
Saving Private Ryan
Jaws (Someone tried to get me to watch it while I was sick. I showed him my interest by promptly falling asleep.)
X Men series
Star Wars series

anything involving Nicolas Cage

Actually, the list of movies I HAVE seen is far shorter than the list of ones I'm unwilling to watch.

You don't watch things just because they're mainstream? o.o

Musikelektronik

I've never seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off. That fact scandalizes most people I know.

If you're a Gen X'er and you haven't seen Ferris Bueller, that is pretty shocking. I'd put The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink in that same category: "Movies that every Gen X'er has seen (or should see)"

No, I don't watch things because I tend to not be interested in what everyone else in interested in. From time to time it happens that I do, but usually that's not the case.

I do love Forrest Gump though

You have an impressive list there. But to be clear, I watch tons of movies. Tons. I have an incredible DVD collection. But it's filled with obscure Italian, Spanish, French, and American horror movies from the '60s and '70s.
