Movies That You Haven't Seen But Everyone Else Has

[Dino Velvet]

I just don't 'get it' as people say nowadays. As soon as some teeth head in the direction of a neck, virgin or otherwise, I lose interest. As it happens, most of the film before and after is so forgettable the whole enterprise seems pointless. At least Herzog shot much of the film in Delft, so it is interesting to look at.

Are you a fan of the Murnau original? As far as other Vampire Films I like Lugosi's version and Hammer Films series w/Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.

I'm with you on most modern Vampires in film and on TV.

Forrest Gump. Everyone says I should see it but I can't get myself to watch a movie about a slightly slow Tom Hanks who plays ping pong and analogizes chocolates to life.

Broncofan, as a human being and a good and decent man I can tell you that you aren't missing anything. As a Chargers fan, I am telling you to go out and rent it immediately! LOL.

Seriously though, I don't get what everyone loves about the movie. It's not uplifting or inspiring. He gets lucky at a lot of points in his life, and most of his luck is bad. Hell, the woman he loves had AIDS and slept with him, his first best friend dies, his second best friend hates him for most of his life, he finally gets the girl he wants and she fucking dies. It's a horrible, horrible movie. And castaway is just as awful. 40 minutes without hanks saying a word, and the way they beat you over the head with the ending where Hanks is litterally at a crossroads. It's terrible film making.

My list... (I should note that long before I became I lawyer, I wasted a few years in film school. So I've seen all kinds of movies.)

1.) Apocolypse Now. - Just can't get throught it all without getting bored.
2.) 2001 A Space Odyssey - Same reason
3.) Inglorious Basterds - Tarantino is a lazy fucking writer, can't stand his work, got annoyed and left half way through this.
4.) Sin City - Again, left half way through, got annoyed with the digital sets.
5.) Big Lebowski - Bored, fell asleep part way through it.

Really? Not even Animal House? That's probably the best of the bunch. But it's a classic.

Animal House....Then on your recommendation I'll try it.

More non seeables...

Any of the Rocky films
Most Schwartzenegger films (no Terminators after the first)

Why am I'm so not surprised!

[Prospero]

None of the Rambo films... in fact never seen a film with Sylvester Stallone
Transformers
The bridges of Madison County

[StinkyPete1000]

The Big Lebowski (I'm ridiculed on a regular basis for having never seen this movie)

[Jericho]

The Godfather
Amelie
Wall-E
Finding Nemo

Don't excite me

[Prospero]

The first two parts of The Godfather were brilliant. Amelie is a charming film. And Wall-E very original if overly sentimental. Not seen Nemo.

So more won't see/ain't seen.

Latter day Disney animation. eg Lion King, Little Mermaid etc. I'd only end of seeing these if chaperoning someone little.
