Movies you have never seen/didn't care for

[Patty Petty]

You know you have them... those movies that supposedly everyone has seen.. or movies that everyone seems to love.. but when you mention to someone you haven't seen them or hated a particular movie, they think you're from another world!

Let me begin..

"Gone With The Wind" ~ Have never seen it, nor do I have any desire to see it. Sue me...lol.

I have not seen ANY of The Godfathers, and let me say, this is one I can't believe myself I have never seen. I don't know why. But, I DO plan on seeing the first one at least, one day.

Never saw "It's A Wonderful Life" until about 5 years ago... I hated it! LOL! Only thing I liked about that movie was the last 15 mins. or so.

"Pulp Fiction" ~ Hated it. Rented it one night and after about 45 mins., got up and started cleaning my apartment, lmao.

Never saw any of The Lord Of The Rings movies, and do not intend to.

Same with Harry Potter.

"Star Wars," bleh. I only saw the first one because it was mandatory when that first came out. Didn't like it, so why would I go see any others?

Ok, I'm drawing a blank now... but I know there are tons more.. I'll be back. LOL!!!

[Mudcrutch]

Titanic

[MJ§LastDance]

^ I don´t believe you!!! LOL

[Refugee]

Hated the English Patient, Out of Africa and Empire of the Sun.

Never saw the last 3 Star War movies. Never saw any other Harry Potter movie after the first two.

Love The Godfather I and II, but hated III.

My list is VERY long, lol.

[wild1forever]

[AmyLou]

Absolutely Hated -
The Accidential Tourist (we call it "the Accidental Purchase")

[KansasPettyFan]

Never seen and don't want to....Star Wars, Supermans, Harry Potter.

In recent memory of ones that people liked (or at least it got high reviews) was A Prairie Home Companion...YUCK!

LOL, Mud!!!

[Wingspan91089]

I've only seen the first Harry Potter film, and it was alright to me. I didn't like it enough to watch the other ones.

Gone With the Wind - Tried to watch it because mom told me it was a great film. I ended up falling asleep halfway through it.

Never seen The Godfather, nor do I want to.

[Pettyjunkie]

Never seen any of the Lord of the Ring movies, nor the Godfathers, but I should see them.

I ABHOR Napoleon Dynamite!!

[Refugee]

I cannot emphasize enough how much I depise The Wizard of Oz, ugh.

[WildflowerNJ]

Oh Patty, I thought I was the only person who does not care for It's A Wonderful Life. Yeah, it seems everybody loves that one.....

[Magnolia]

I think I'm the only person on the planet that hated/walked out of
Shawshank Redemption.

[Echosoftom]

Patty, I love this thread.

Okay, I'll probably get stoned (not the good one) but I thought the Pirates Of Caribbean movies were just okay, they're not all that. And by the way, I'm not all that thrilled with Johnny Depp.

I loved the first Shrek movie, but the rest need to go away.

The English Patient. All I can say is thank you Elaine for validating my feelings about that stupid movie.

Gone With the Wind should have been gone a long time ago. I hate that movie.

And that stupid ass movie Moulin Rouge! Heads should have rolled in Hollywood for that castastophe!

Harry Potter, I've only seen one and that was enough for me.

[Magnolia]

And by the way, I'm not all that thrilled with Johnny Depp.
Sharon! :021:

[Echosoftom]

^ Ouch, Ouch, Ouch! LOL!

[wildgator]

I ABHOR Napoleon Dynamite!!

I hated it too! Stupid and boring.

Joe Dirt - people love this movie and I don't know why.

[KansasPettyFan]

I think I'm the only person on the planet that hated/walked out of
Shawshank Redemption.

WHAT? :eek: That's one of my top 5. lol

[Pettyjunkie]

I cannot emphasize enough how much I despise The Wizard of Oz, ugh.

Thank God someone else despises that movie as much as I do!

[Patty Petty]

Oh Patty, I thought I was the only person who does not care for It's A Wonderful Life. Yeah, it seems everybody loves that one.....


Beth, I think you're my new best friend...lol. I KNOWWWWW, I couldn't believe after finally seeing it, such a classic and all, I thought "This sucks! What has everyone been going on about?" LOL!

And Sharon! You don't like Johnny Depp!?! :eek:
Hey, that's ok though... more of him for me...LMAO... yeah, in my dreams!

[WildflowerNJ]

Haha, Patty! :003: I know, I would hate to say anything about that movie because everyone gushes over it.....argggggggg!!! I just don't get it....

The Bells of St Mary's is better than that one, lol!

[Patty Petty]

Ok another one I wasn't thrilled with... "A Christmas Story." *Ducking*
I know, I know... I saw it for the first time last year.. couldn't wait to see what all the hoopla was about. TBS I think it was, ran it non stop Christmas weekend. I didn't hate it. I just thought "Ehhh, it was ok."

[Magnolia]

^ Same here, Patty. I saw "A Christmas Story" for the first time last year
and totally didn't get what the hype was all about.

Beth, I'll have to check out "The Bells of St. Mary's". I've never heard
of it.

[Refugee]

Here's a couple more for me.

A Clockwork Orange. I hate this movie.

To Kill A Mockingbird. Great book, sorry ass movie.

Citizen Kane, UGHHHHHHHH!

Lawrence of Arabia, another yawn fest.

2001 - A Space Odyssey

[Patty Petty]

Oh Ref, you are not alone! I hated "A Clockwork Orange." How incredibly disturbing it was. I admit, I like SOME disturbing stuff... but that movie really bothered me.

[agirl]

^ no Barb, you're not. I didn't finish the movie, either.
I don't intend to see The Lord of the Rings and I hate to admit that I hated Casablanca.

[Pettyjunkie]

I need to see A Clockwork Orange, I'd probably like it.

I hated the Libertine. It has Johnny Depp in it, but it was just weird and incredibly sexual. He contracted syphylis so his nose fell off, and then he wore a silver nose. Creepy!

[Wingspan91089]

^ I'd like to see A Clockwork Orange too.

[Flower]

My husband can watch James Bond or The Duke, hell any war movie a million times. Take your pick those are the movies I dont care for.

[Echosoftom]

Oh another one, Brokeback Mountain...Snoozer. :015:

[wildgator]

^Love Clockwork Orange. It's so trippy!

The Libertine was horrible!

Sharon, you reminded me of one...Cold Mountain...zzzzzzzz!

[Echosoftom]

^ LOL! Amanda, I'm always suspicious when I see the word "Mountain" in the title of a movie.

[Refugee]

Jeremiah Johnson - boring.

[Magnolia]

Oh another one, Brokeback Mountain...Snoozer. :015:
I LOVED Brokeback Mountain! What's not to love about 2 hot
naked guys?? :045:

[wildgator]

^absolutely!! YEEHAW!!

[Refugee]

Any movie involving the Three Stooges.

[Patty Petty]

^ LOL, I agree with ya there too!
I can't stand The Stooges. I never thought they were funy, I never "got" them.

[Echosoftom]

Aww, C'mon now, not The Three Stooges, lol.

[Patty Petty]

Aww, C'mon now, not The Three Stooges, lol.


I'm sorry, Sharon... but yes, The Three Stooges...lol. :003:

Another one... I have seen a few, but Jerry Lewis movies... God! How annoying is he? "Hey Lady!" "Hey Jerry!? Shut the F*CK up!" LMAO!
I have NEVER found him funny!!!

[Refugee]

^ I am so with you on that one!!! I cannot stand Jerry Lewis! ACK!!!

[Echosoftom]

^ Oh now there's something we can agree on. There is NOTHING funny about that man.

[TheWildOne]

To Kill A Mockingbird. Great book, sorry ass movie.



I adore To Kill A Mockingbird. It is in my top five favorite movies of all time!

[TheWildOne]

I try to like the Three Stooges, but I just find them annoying.

I don't think It's A Wonderful Life is so wonderful.

I have only seen one of the Harry Potters, I think. (And haven't read any of the books.)

There are a lot of recent movies that I don't care for: that remake of Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio and Clare Danes. Stuff like Basketball (my boys love it), and Jackass. Moulin Rouge - didn't like that one. I am sure there are more.

[Refugee]

^ There's another movie I can't stand, Jackass! Why do people think that is so funny? I don't get it. :confused:

I don't get American Pie nor Jim Carrey's Ace Ventura movies.

[KansasPettyFan]

^ There are a couple of Jim Carrey movies I don't get...Me, Myself, and Irene and The Cable Guy...not funny...just weird to me.

[wild1forever]

^ LOL, I agree with ya there too!
I can't stand The Stooges. I never thought they were funy, I never "got" them.

I couldn't stand the Stooges as a child, but I have to admit they have grown on me as an adult!

I thought "Unforgiven" sucked. I don't care if it did win Best Picture; it was still a western. LOL.

[Patty Petty]

Oh I like the Jackass shows and movie, lol. I just think people doing stupid things to themselves is amazingly funny.

On a different note... I watched "Psycho" last night for probably the 300th. time, still scares the hell out of me. Such a classic. No huge blood and gore flick, like most horror movies today... but still, so well done. They don't make them like that anymore. And God, how young Anthony Perkins was in that. I say that everytime I watch it, but he was! LOL! Such a baby! And a cutie, too! Hell, I might have gotten sucked into The Bates Motel, too! :003:

[Refugee]

^ We watched it too!! It was Lindsay and Lauren's first time, and they both said it scared them.

Once Upon A Time In America. I usually like mob movies, and I love the actors in this film, but this film did nothing for me.

[Magnolia]

I don't get American Pie
I loved American Pie. I thought it was hysterical! I guess I'm
easily amused. LOL

[MJ§LastDance]

Jim Carrey ROCKS!!! :D:D:D



Okay, I'll probably get stoned (not the good one) but I thought the Pirates Of Caribbean movies were just okay, they're not all that. And by the way, I'm not all that thrilled with Johnny Depp.
Yeah, I didn´t watch the last movie but all the others. I think that movie just gets so much attention because of Johnny Depp. I like him, he´s a good actor and the character he´s playing is damn funny, loool! But as soon as everybody gets obsessed with a certain movie or actor, I get uninterested.

And that stupid ass movie Moulin Rouge! Heads should have rolled in Hollywood for that castastophe!
Lol, that movie is weird and confusing! Normally I hate it when they are singing during a film, but somehow I liked some parts in that movie. I like sad films and the ending is so damn sad, I cried so hard, lol!

Harry Potter, I've only seen one and that was enough for me.
I watched one of those films about 20 min. and that was just because I had nothing else to do, lol. I´ve also never read any HP books. I just hate the hype about Harry Potter. :095:

Same with Lord of the Rings. Never watched any of those movies and I´m glad, that I don´t have to. :003:

[WildflowerNJ]

Oh yes, the remake of Romeo and Juliet!!....for me Romeo will always be Leonard Whiting.....sigh........and Juliet, Olivia Hussey....I was so excited to see that movie!! I bought the soundtrack and know every word!! That is what got me into wanting to read Shakespeare.....

[Wingspan91089]

^ The one with DiCaprio in it? Ugh, what a terrible film! We had to watch that one a few years ago when we read Romeo and Juliet.

I've tried watching the Lord of the Rings a number of times, but I always end up falling asleep in the middle of it. I don't think I'm ever going to see those. lol

[Echosoftom]

MJ, I'm the same way, I seem to get turned off as soon as everyone starts getting all hyped up over a certain celebrity.

I'm not a big Jim Carrey fan either but The Cable Guy is hilarious! I laugh my ass off everytime I watch that movie.

[Pettyjunkie]

^ The one with DiCaprio in it? Ugh, what a terrible film! We had to watch that one a few years ago when we read Romeo and Juliet.

My freshman English teacher refused to show us that version because it was a disgrace basically. Still haven't seen it.

I love Jim Carrey, especially in Liar Liar. Also love Jackass and American Pie.

[Refugee]

Jeepers Creepers I and II.

[Starfish]

On a different note... I watched "Psycho" last night for probably the 300th. time, still scares the hell out of me. Such a classic.


My mom went into labor with me when she saw that movie. :eek:

Now for a movie everyone has seen but me - I think I am the only person my age who never saw The Exorcist!

[Wingspan91089]

^ Nope, I've never seen that one either. lol

Steph, your teacher is right, that movie is a disgrace.

[wild1forever]

^^I'm STILL afraid to see The Exorcist, lol.

[Patty Petty]

Oh you people should hang your heads in shame! Shame I tell you! LOL!
I LOVE The Exorcist! :003:

[wildgator]

It's a must see. Until recently, I have always been afraid to watch it. I must be getting old b/c it just doesn't affect me like it used to.

[Refugee]

^ I still hate it, lol. But...I do envy Linda Blair's name. :003:

[wildgator]

^LMAO! I envy Marcie's! Shame on me...I know...

[Zombie Zookeeper]

I have never, and will never watch Titanic or Brokeback Mountain.

I have never seen Caddyshack or Coming To America... only parts of both, and I have no interest in seeing the rest.

I borrowed my mom's sealed copy of The Passion Of the Christ about what seems 2 years ago, and it is still sealed, sitting next to my tv. One day.. one day.

And unfortuneatley, I bought this movie when it first came out on DVD, but for some reason I still have never seen Schindler's List. I definitely want to though... I did buy it after all. I really hate movies with subtitles, regardless of how good it is. Somehow I got through Babel, which was an excellent movie, but way too many subtitles. I guess I'm always doing other things while I watch movies.

Recently though, I have been trying to watch movies that I had never seen but always heard about. like... ROOTS, DELIVERANCE, and some that I can't think of right now.

I have always enjoyed these animated kids/family movies, so it's a shame that I have to put Cars on my to NEVER watch list. I have officially boycotted anything with Larry the Cable Guy. At first I found him humerous, but that lasted maybe a month and now I can't stand to even hear his voice. I hear it's a good movie though.

[Refugee]

I refuse to watch just about anything with Mel Gibson in it or that he directed. I never saw Passion of the Christ either and won't.

[PumpkinBumpkin]

^I'm with you on that. I'm not a big Mel Gibson fan at all.

[KansasPettyFan]

DELIVERANCE

ZZ...I was in Arkansas last week and saw a t-shirt that said, "Paddle faster, I hear banjo music!" LOL

[Echosoftom]

^ LMAOOO!

[Zombie Zookeeper]

Haha!! Yes!! Nice shirt!!

Linda, I know what you mean about Mel Gibson, but I'll always like The Patriot and Braveheart. Plus he's a riot on Southpark.. he squeezes his nipples:118:

I did see Apocalypto... even with those damn subtitles.. I thought it was a good movie. I tried to get my brother to watch it but he rufuses to watch any of Gibson's movies ever again.

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d101/hurdler2/1110_m_gibson.jpg

[Refugee]

Your brother is very wise. ;)

[Patty Petty]

I hate, hate, HATED all of the religious type movies... such as The Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur, etc etc....

It was bad enough we had to watch them when we were young, then we had a social studies teacher who showed them all in class... only reason THAT made me happy was so that I could get some napping in the week he was movie showing. :003:

[Wingspan91089]

I finally saw a Clockwork Orange. HAted it. LOL

[wild1forever]

I hate, hate, HATED all of the religious type movies... such as The Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur, etc etc....

Me too! I hate ALL of the movies with "a cast of thousands," period costumes, etc etc etc.

[Refugee]

^ I love period pictures.

Poor Wingspan, lol. Isn't that just a horrible movie? Ack!

[PumpkinBumpkin]

I finally saw a Clockwork Orange. HAted it. LOL

Ohh I don't like it either! I can't even being to explain how much that movie freaked me out.I hated it.

[Wingspan91089]

^ Yeah, I watched the first five minutes or so of it and had a nightmare. LOL! It was that whole "ultraviolent" thing that got to me. lol

Linda, it is a horrible movie! LOL! It scared me!

[PumpkinBumpkin]

^I watched it up till "the scene". I don't really want to describe it, but I'm sure some of you know what I'm talking about. It scared the living daylights out of me!

[Pettyjunkie]

^ I really need to see that movie. I hear it's great, but then again all my friends are twisted.

[Patty Petty]

^ It is so twisted and disturbing. Just remember... you have been warned!!! ;)

[PumpkinBumpkin]

^^Make sure no little kids are around while your watching it! lmao.

[Charlie T.Wilbury]

i love movies like that there great.

[Pettyjunkie]

^ It is so twisted and disturbing. Just remember... you have been warned!!! ;)

lol. Is it worse than the Saw movies? Those are great.

[Zombie Zookeeper]

OK, so I just watched Caddyshack for the first time last night, and I must say it was everything I ever expected... HORRIBLE!!! Why is this movie a classic "must see"?? Why it is classified as a comedy? Nothing at all even made me chuckle. Can someone explain this one to me? I know times back then were a little different, but seriously, was this movie ever funny?

[Refugee]

^You weren't drunk or more importantly...stoned. That is why it's not funny to you.

ZZ...come on now, you have to admit, varmit cong? HAHAHA!

[Pettyjunkie]

So I've watched most of A Clockwork Orange...it was okay. I like the twisted part, but it was just boring.

[Starfish]

Come on, ZZ - the Bill Murray scenes are classics! The rest of the movie is pretty bad.

[Beamish]

Hated Clockwork Orange, loved Caddyshack (I was 8 when it came out and still relate to it from that juvenile standpoint), and hope I never have to watch Death At A Funeral ever again.
