Name a movie you have never seen and have no desire to see

[motely36]

Even thought everyone else raves about it.

My number 1 would be Saving Private Ryan.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

1. Titanic

i have never seen it nor do i care too.

[Burma Jones]

10. Me Too.......n/t

[ThorsHammer]

15. Make that 3 of us

[Tafiti]

19. Go ahead and make that 4!

And I will take "never seen Titanic" to my grave!

[hatredisnotavalue]

36. number five here n/t

[flamingyouth]

73. And number six n/t

[LWolf]

75. seven n/t

[motely36]

22. Unfortunately

I saw this one. Don't waste your time!

[Misunderestimator]

40. I WISH I hadn't seen it...

:puke: "King of the World" :puke:

[MuseRider]

69. Looks like I am not

the only one. Good to know.

[driver8]

74. Titanic sucked the big one!

My wife and I tried to see it three times but it was sold out. We finally got to see it and we were sorry that we did. What was the hype about this piece of shit? People seeing it ten or twenty times? Get a freakin' life, people...

[SmokingJacket]

99. Yeah, I know how it ends and it's a downer!! nt

[LiberalVoice]

2. Shrek

I saw the last half hour of Shrek 2 and I didn't htink it was funny at all :puke:

[Bluzmann57]

3. Saving Private Ryan is a good movie

But one which I have no desire to see may be "The Passion of the Christ".

[motely36]

20. I have no desire to see that one either.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

4. Some...

Terminator 3
The Passion of The Christ
Signs
Collateral

And a few more I'm sure I forget.

[jonnyblitz]

5. funny you pick that movie. I saw it and didn't like it.

I might be the only person.

I have seen non of the Star Wars and don't ever plan to.

[motely36]

24. I grew up on star wars

My mom took us to see the first one when I was 11. I love those movies

[JohnKleeb]

39. hah you and me both on star wars

Saving Private Ryan is good though.

[LWolf]

76. I was in high school when star wars came out.

I haven't seen the more modern sequels, but the originally trilogy holds a well-earned spot among my favorites. I'd guess that to be true for many of my generation.

The special effects were ground-breaking, and the theme of underdogs valiantly battling the evil empire is, somehow, still current.

For example, I recently compared the situation that my profession, teaching, finds itself in currently to starwars.

We are crushed between Darth Vader and his stormtroopers on one side, GWB and his NCLB warriors demanding that we all become storm troopers and march in lockstep formation or die, and jabba the hut on the other: the massive, overfed mountain of slime represented by corporate interests.

[Roon]

6. Pulp Fiction eom

[HeyManThatsCool]

49. One of the best movies ever made

I am a HUGE huge huge fan of it.

I quote from it religously

lol

[Richardo]

7. Top Gun

Matrix 2 and 3 (saw original. Meh.)
LOTR 2 and 3 (see above)
Any comic book movie (Spiderman, X men, Hellboy, etc.)

many many many more I'm sure.

[purji]

8. any thing with Rambo in it.

Sly gets on my nerves.

[Demit]

9. Gee, I liked all three of them. Will never see Kill Bill, or Natural Born

Killers, though. Or Passion of the Christ. Don't like all that reveling-in-gore stuff.

[Beware the Beast Man]

11. The other two "Lord of the Rings"

The first one bored me to tears. And please don't tell me to read the books. I couldn't give a damn about Middle Earth.

[Connie_Corleone]

23. Thank gawd someone else didn't like that movie.

I sat thru 3 hours of that crap on TV, and I didn't even know there were sequels to it until I got to the end!!

I tried to watch the second one, but I couldn't get into it.

[jonnyblitz]

27. I forced myself through the first one. I have no interest in the rest

of them. I couldn't get past Liv Tyler with her cheesy breathy princess accent or whatever she was (I forget).

[huskerlaw]

83. Completely agreed!

Add to that list: The Passion of the Christ and Kill Bill Vol. 2 (Hated the first one)

[Left Is Write]

12. The Princess Bride.

[hfojvt]

42. Inconceivable! n/t

[HeyManThatsCool]

51. You killed my father... prepare to die

[hfojvt]

61. Stop saying that!

You need to include the beginning: "Hallo, my name is Inigo Montoya" It is totally rude to threaten someone's life before you introduce yourself. Behave yourself, or I will call the Brute Squad.

[Touchdown]

87. I'm on the Brute Squad.

n/t

[American Tragedy]

95. You ARE the Brute Squad.

[Catfight]

13. the Exorcist. n/t

[dubyaD40web]

14. Gigli

[Connie_Corleone]

16. Right now they are...

Sideways and Closer.

I saw the previews and I have no interest in seeing them.

My longtime movies to avoid are:

Out of Africa
Elvis Presley movies, except Jailhouse Rock (only because I saw it last week on TCM.)

[Strawman]

26. Sideways was excellent

even if the trailer looks boring and/or pretentious.

[ikojo]

31. Sideways BLEW chunks

Boring buddy movie about two guys driving through the California wine country trying to find themselves...one is divorced and still pines for his ex-wife and the other is an actor about the get married.

IT BLEW....

[kwassa]

33. Sideways is GREAT ... and hilarious

and certainly deserved the Golden Globes award it received

[TlalocW]

17. Just one?

I've never seen any of the James Bond movies, and I have no desire to - the cheesy ripoff they did with Sean Connery's brother, Neil, and Bond characters and villains called, "Operation Double 007" or "Operation Kid Brother" doesn't count as that was a Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode.

Resevoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction. Quentin Tarrantino annoys me to the point that I wish someone would just ram his face into a brick wall over and over again.

I wish I could have gone without seeing Titanic, but I was stuck on a bus to Chicago when they played that over the bus' theater system, and I watched it. Horrible, putrid stuff, but I do like telling people that my "heart will go on," after they give me relatively minor/bad news like, "I wasn't able to get tickets to the 4:00 'o-clock showing," etc.

TlalocW

[Bok_Tukalo]

18. Kill Bill

Or anything else to come from Tarantino.

[HeyManThatsCool]

52. I love Tarantino

Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill 1 & 2 are 4 of my favs.

to each his own!!

[Dr.Phool]

21. The Passion of the Christ

[OhioBlue]

38. that was the movie that came to my mind.

[kariatari]

94. Me too!!!! GAAAAAH!!!

[mitchum]

25. ANY modern blockbuster

life is too short

[Lydia Leftcoast]

70. I'm with you, mitchum

Any movie whose preview consists mostly of special effects.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

28. Star Wars

I have seen "Return of the Jedi" because my then 6-year-old niece begged to be taken to it, but have not seen the others, and my life shall go swimmingly on if I NEVER see them.

[GRLMGC]

29. Flame if you must

but the Godfather Trilogy. I'm sure its fabulous and all that but I have no desire to watch it.

[Misunderestimator]

47. self delete

wrong place

[HeyManThatsCool]

53. LOL- I'm with you

My 2 best friends are OBSESSED with it- quote from it ALL THE TIME. I'm talking for years and years here. About 6 years ago they made me sit down with them to watch the Trilogy during a snow storm. I fell asleep 45 minutes into 1st one. The one guy kept trying to wake me up & was going look! look! this is great! And the other guy was going "dude, leave her alone. I dont think she cares"

He was right. I didnt

[Fifth of Five]

84. Until I saw this post,

I was going to say anything with Jim Carrey(sp?).

I have never seen any of the Godfather movies and have no desire to see them. This fact absolutely boggles the minds of most of my friends and family.

[ikojo]

30. Several....Titanic....Forest Gump

Terms of Endearment and almost every "chick flick"

[HeyManThatsCool]

54. Terms of Endearment SUCKED

I hated the mother

[KurtNYC]

32. Joy Luck Club, Pokemon, Kindergarten Cop,

Death Wish (all), Lethal Weapon (all), Hidalgo (a texas cowboy conquors the middle east), LOTR 2 & 3, Gigli, Cash-in on Christ (aka Passion of the Christ), the remake of Willy Wonka,

oh you said "a" as in one ;-)

[HeyManThatsCool]

55. Joy Luck Club was a great movie, but

I can see why some people wouldnt want to see it

[Rowdyboy]

34. Chariots of Fire

[mcscajun]

35. My Big List Starts with "The Passion of the Christ" and "Hellraiser"

Add in all the Rambo movies, every Arnold Schwarzenegger film, all the Jean-Claude Van Damme films, Both "Willard" films, any films that feature rats, cockroaches and other vermin, and most especially any and all teen-gore spatterfests (Friday the 13th, Halloween, etc.).

[Bunny]

37. ET. Does that make me some kind of freak? n/t

[motely36]

44. Yes!

No, I'm just teasing :)

[solinvictus]

41. "Wizard of Oz"

I've never seen it and really don't care to as well.

[Misunderestimator]

43. I wish I had not seen Aviator this weekend...

:wtf: is up with the Golden Globes? That was a truly awful film.

[JohnKleeb]

45. um star wars and for TV shows, star trek

[hfojvt]

64. All of them, or just the original series

Really, I cannot understand such illogic. Maybe, it is just in my g-g-g-generation that anything involving space travel is cool, but I was never a big fan of Star Wars. I preferred Quark.

[hfojvt]

46. Any Hannibal Lector movie after Silence of the Lambs

I saw Silence of the Lambs and would like the two hours of my life back.
Spiderman 2 is on my list as well after the screwed up ending of Spiderman 1.

[Misunderestimator]

48. Gone With the Wind

I just don't give a damn.

[JohnKleeb]

50. neither do I

no desire to see it.

[RevolutionaryActs]

56. Same here, I'm sure its good, but I don't really care if I ever see it.

:shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

58. I really dont give a damn if I see it or not because

I if I wanted to see a civil war movie, I'd see Glory.

[Misunderestimator]

62. Hey... I am with you on that.... great film.

[JohnKleeb]

67. Its the best civil war movie I think out there

and what makes it so cool and so unique is that it's not the typical civil war narrative. I enjoyed Gettysburg too but I liked Glory better, the music, the acting, thats top notch shit, I even liked some of Gods and Generals.

[Donailin]

57. My mother dragged me to that film

when I was around 12, she was mad at my dad and took me and my brothers to this "cozy" bungalo out in the hamptons in the dead of winter -- no TV, no music and no gas heat. We complained so much that she said ok, we'll go to a movie.

"Gone with the Wind"???? Could it have been and longer or any more boring?

I've never forgiven her for that.

[webjamn]

59. Pearl Harbor

I won't see anything with Ben Affleck in it because he can't act worth a crap.

[graywarrior]

60. The Fucking Passion

I'd rather nail myself to a cross

[Worst Username Ever]

88. Seconded

[LDS Jock]

63. Saving Private Ryan

I tried to watch it once, but got bored at the beginning and shut it off. I've heard it is supposed to be this great movie. Eh, I'll pass. Just doesn't seem like my thing.

[JohnKleeb]

68. If you wanna know why I lean pacifistic, see it

[PittPoliSci]

65. Passion of the Christ

[NC_Nurse]

66. I do not watch gangster films

and I don't get the attraction that people have to them.

I see blood and gore every day at the hospital and it doesn't bother me. Show me a film like "Silence of the Lambs" or "Saving Private Ryan" and I am devastated for a week or more.

I refuse.

[Biased Liberal Media]

71. Kill Bill, Passion of the Christ, The Royal Tenenbaums

50 First Dates...

I don't know...I can never get into Ben Stiller or Adam Sandler movies to be honest with you.

[motely36]

82. One of my best friends from college was in Royal Tanenbaums

It wasn't that bad. Of course she was fucking awesome!

[Kire]

72. Napolean Dynamite

[kariatari]

98. I caught you a delicious bass.

[tjwmason]

77. Any Harry bloody Potter

Never read any of the books, never seen any of the films, don't intend to do either.

If adults want to read children's literature, that's their business and it's fine by me; but don't keep giving me that withering look of shock and horror when you discover that I have other things on my reading/viewing list.

[American Tragedy]

78. Damn, just as I was about to post the exact same thing.

I would actually consider myself a sci-fi/fantasy fan, from the time I was a little girl. I loved the classic books Watership Down, Last Unicorn, Princess Bride, etc. The Last Unicorn in particular bears a new spiritual significance for me now, as a commentary on mortality and what it means to be human.

But Harry Potter just doesn't interest me at all.

[tjwmason]

80. Let's share him then

or perhaps start a 'Harry Potter anti-fan club'.

[Bertha Venation]

79. Anything with Jerry Stiller or Owen whats-his-name.

:eyes:

[Allenberg]

81. Star Wars

Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, or any other mass-market sci-fi/fantasy.

[Butterflies]

85. Die Hard

I know people love that movie, but I can't stand Bruce Willis so I'm not interested.

[MissMillie]

86. I know I'll get slammed for this, but

The Matrix

just not my thing.

[RaleighNCDem]

89. The Day After Tomorrow

[Bullwinkle925]

90. Any movie describing the life of Dubya!

[Garage Queen]

91. The Passion of the Christ

No way. No how.

"Scourging" is not a family value, Mel.

[Seabiscuit]

97. Big time DITTO!

[okieinpain]

92. ya ya sisterhood. sideways. garden state.

[benny05]

93. I have a few nominees

Any slasher film (such as Friday the 13th or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre)

The Passion (too violent and such a small context window; even my spouse flinched during the movie)

Unfit for Command (mainly because rethug money was behind making it)

Any of the Indiana Jones series (I fell asleep in the first one, vowed never to see another one)--sorry, just not my cup of tea

Any of the "Vacation" movies (I like Chevy Chase, but not this series)

In general, I think many (not all) movies are just not worth the price of admission, not to mention stars are overpaid, thus I don't go to movies very often (just as I don't buy tickets to sports events either). I'm more into the real thing, such as watching Condi getting skewered by Boxer, Kerry, Dodd, and Sarbanes.

[Seabiscuit]

96. Rocky V
