the matrix
never will.
why 'never will'?
why would you?
there was barely any excuse at the time let alone now
Avatar and Inception
and I don't want to either.
Yeah no point seeing Avatar, it's a big blue shit.
Inception is worth a watch though.
I thought Avatar was
sufficiently visually lush to gloss over the fact that it had little to no plot.
The think that annoyed me most about it, by a country mile, was the use of Papyrus font for the subtitles.
It was certainly a spectacle and a novelty in the cinema.
But if you're just going to watch it at home, what's the point? You may as well make people out of Blu tac, take LSD and watch what they do, the plot will almost certainly be better.
Yeah, I saw it Imax.
Probs wouldn't have bothered otherwise.
Avatar at the cinema was a lot better than Inception
both a lot of guff but Avatar was fun
wouldnt watch it at home mind
I don't remember ever seeing a shittier film than Avatar
Big Trouble in little China
Big Fish
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
2pac and Biggie
Forrest Gump
Titanic
(have seen a few moments of both)
^this except for the fact that I haven't seen moments of both
Once Upon a Time In America
toy story 3
up
The Godfather
Why are you posting on here if you haven't seen Die Hard?
GO HOME AND WATCH IT RIGHT NOW
I have however seen Die Hard 4.0
Which I assume from the title must be 4 times better than the original.
The 4th Die Hard movie has it's Pitchfork Score in it's title
handy.
The Sound Of Music
I know that it's supposed to actually be a good film, but that runnign over the hills and singing stuff? Nah.
The Godfather
I know someone who says "You can't form an opinion on modern cinema until you've seen it" so I almost refuse to out of principle.
That person sounds like an insufferable cunt.
STAB REQUEST.
loads
the godfathers
all of hitchocks ones bar psycho
some more i cant think of right now
superbad
Do you ever pretend you've seen them just to avoid everyone going mental if you say you haven't?
Or wear it as a badge of pride?
I often pretend, yeah.
I've seen most of the 'classics', but I haven't really seen much that people of my age tend to rate- Inception, Avatar, Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Shawshank, Bruce Almighty, Superbad and so on. I usually pretend to because it's easier and doesn't make me have to justify myself and thus come across as a snob.
bruce almighty
is a classic????
I watched Rocky the other day. Like Rambo, much better than i imagined, and probably much better than the rest of the series (ie. not a cartoony reimagining of the original concept that happened with Rambo)
and I am trying to work through
the IMDB top 250, and Forrest Gump is in the top 30 or something, and i really dont want to watch it. And I am never watching Titanic.
nah, not a classic at all.
People my age tend to rate it though, so I sometimes feel I ought to watch it.
How do you know it's not a classic if you've not watched it though?
It might be your Favourite Film Ever
First Blood is a brilliant film
I love how it takes the idea of training people to kill then dumping them back into society where everyone hates the conflict they were forced to sacrifice for to an absolute extreme.
I'd lump First Blood alongside The Deerhunter.
Both excellent films about what happens to people who returned from Vietnam.
Inception, Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Bruce Almighty
^This
Taxi Driver and Raging Bull
With the exception of King of Comedy I'm always slightly disappointed by De Niro films, so I haven't got round to either of these.
^ massively this.
really want to see both.
This is the part
where someone tells you they're good.
They are.
Actually come to think of it, I haven't seen Raging Bull either.
De Niro's finest performance
No, that's Meet the Fockers.
I only watched Pulp Fiction 2 weeks ago
I know
There's a Pulp Fiction 2!
It's a prequel set in the 50's.
In spain.
The soundtrack is total AMAZE-BALLS!
¡El fiction del Pulpos dos!
None of the Godfather films
Raging Bull
Really should get round to those, considering I watch films all the time.
Not seen
Any Beverley Hills Cop
Any Lethal Weapon
Any Harry Potter
Any Die Hard
Any Lord of the Rings
Any Bond, pre-Brosnan, apart from Goldfinger
Any Schwarzenegger action film, apart from T2
Any Rambo
Any Rocky
Any Bourne
Any Jaws
Any Mad Max
Any Superman
Any Carry On
Any X-Men
Any Star Trek
Any Star Wars, more than once
Any Rocky (have the box set at home, ready for watching)
Any Godfather (have the box set at home, ready for watching)
the Bonds pre-Brosnan are worth watching
for the most part. Dr No especially is a great film, but there's some dross later on, especially under Roger Moore.
no
Roger Moore was a great Bond
you haven't seen Jaws??
.................
Here are some of the rather entertaining films which you have missed
Mad Max 2, Die Hard, Die Hard with a Vengeance (that's Die Hard 3), Terminator, Total Recall, Predator, Red Heat, Conan the Barbarian, Live and Let Die, The Spy Who Loved Me, You Only Live Twice, License to Kill, View to a Kill (Christopher Walken and Grace Jones are the villians), Jaws, Rambo: First Blood.
None of them are earth shattering commentaries on anything important and serve no function other than SPECTACLE for SPECTACLE'S sake.
You have also listed Rocky twice. <shakes head>
You should watch X Men First Class
It's brilliant.
Michael Fassbender travels the world brutally murdering Nazis
WITH HIS MIND!
I watched this with very very low expectations, and I can confirm that it is actually an entertaining viewing experience, beyond the expectations which came from it being a prequel in a failed franchise, as a film in it's own right, it's good.
best cameo EVER too
My expectations for it would be so indescribably low,
that it couldn't fail to exceed them.
But that's like saying that i should be happy to receive a plate of semi-rotten fruit if i ordered a plate of dogshit. but knowing that there's a plate of delicious vienetta on offer, i'm not gonna waste my time ordering dog shit, semi-rotten fruit or otherwise. sure, the vienetta might be strawberry instead of mint, but it's still pretty much certain to be an excellent choice of dessert.
These are exactly my thoughts on the matter...exactly.
Excellent metaphor
Jurassic Park
Didn't see it in the cinema, no-one in our house growing up bought the video, only ever caught little moments of it when it's been on telly. I've not deliberately avoided it, but from the clips I've seen it's pretty obvious what happens.
But it's still one of the best looking movies committed to film!
I doubt the veracity of your claim sir.
Please show your workings.
You think it's gonna be obvious,
But I did not see that human/dinosaur sex scene coming at all.
i saw the last Lord of the Rings
and it was the most tedious, overdrawn piece of shit I've ever seen that there's not a chance I'll see the first two. The popularity is baffling
Haven't seen this
It's the most recent Best Picture winner that I haven't seen. Saw the first two though, didn't do it for me at all.
I really couldn't be bothered with the last one either
Not sure looking back why I bothered with the first two, to be honest. Dull dull dull dull dull.
The first two are better than the last one
but I guess it's too late for me to tell you this.
The first one's alright, the other two are just fucking painful.
The Two Towers is the best
I liked the spectacle of The Return of the King, but I guess the problem is that the source material is really drawn out and long winded. At least they cut out the whole getting back to Hobbton and having to fight to take it back. That probably would've added another hour
Avatar
but I have seen the Smurfs so I guess there's no need.
Raging Bull
Any of the Harry Potter films.
Sixth Sense (no point, I know the twist ending).
Bridget Jones Diary (and many many many other films of that ilk, 4 weddings and stuff like that)
Casablanca
Forrest Gump
Lawrence of Arabia
Cinema Paradiso
I've only seen two Woody Allen films (the one where he gets chased by a giant tit and the one where he plays James Bond)
The Passion of the Christ
There's probably loads of others.
Anything that has /that/ red font in the poster or promo material won't be viewed ever.
Any film where the protaganist dresses up as a woman/a baby/someone of a different race/an animal in order to protect the witness in a police investigation won't be watched ever.
Anything the Wayans brothers are involved with, won't be watched ever.
Anything with Rob Schnieder won't be watched ever.
This should have been a ^this thread :(
This shouldn't have been a ^this thread.
Fine you win.
anything released in the cinema since superman returns
I would really like to become some kind of film reviewer on TV and just totally troll people
I don't know why they're bothering, cinema reached its zenith with The Spirit
=D
I don't think I've ever heard anyone say anything remotely passing for positive regarding The Spirit.
I thought it was really entertaining and funny. And entertaining.
It is categorically the worst film I've ever seen
=D
Well fuck you then.
Shitlord.
;D
I really liked it when Samuel L Jackson dressed as a Nazi and the big Nazi eagle fell on him
Or when the police fly all their attack helicopters and tanks at him and he has those two giant guns and just fires indiscriminately at them
It is absolute tosh, absolute complete tosh, and it knows that
and i stand by it as being more entertaining than any number of purported 'classics' of cinema.
Pull quote for the Blu-Ray release;
."The Spirit: more entertaining than Citizen Kane.".
XHeathenX (Drowned in Sound)
Love Actually
Doesn't stop me from knowing it's AQOS gold.
Some of you have really weird ideas about what 'big movies' are
:/
I've never seen Citizen kane by the way
It's not as good as 'The Spirit'.
Star Wars
I don't do spaceships or wizards.
no 2001: a space odyssesyey (however you spell it)
for you then.
that's how you spell it.
Same
people always look at me like I'm not a real person
Reservoir Dogs
:-S
ATTN: ANYONE WHO HASN'T SEEN STAR WARS
just don't - the indier-than-tho kudos is infinitely more valuable than anything you'd get from actually watching the films (and probably some wrong special edition version at that) in this day and age.
Gone With the Wind
Doctor Zhivago
Forrest Gump all the way through (and what little I have seen of it has put me off ever doing so)
Most Merchant Ivory stuff
Shrek, Monsters Inc et al
