What Movies Haven't You Seen?

Name the films that when you mention it to people, they say "What? You've Never Seen It?" Watching clips doesn't count, it has to be a viewing of the whole movie.

Here's my greatest hits never watched:

Titanic
Avatar
DaVinci Code
All the Harry Potter films
All the Lord of the Rings films
All the Star Wars Prequels
All the Transformers films
All the Twilight films

You are missing out on The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Those are two of the best movie series I have ever seen. The Star Wars prequels are all decent junk food movies but they all make Return of the Jedi look great. I haven't seen Avatar and I would rather gouge my eyes out with a fertilizer spike than see the rest of the Twilight movies... I did see the first one and that was enough.

I would agree with all of that.

Avatar was a good film, though too long. Same could be said for Inception.

DaVinci Code? People give you grief for not seeing that? Good book, really mediocre movie, one of Hanks' most wooden performances.

I hurl at the mention of Twilight.

I watch a crazy amount of films, home and as well in the cinema; but of your list I have never watched:

All the Harry Potter films
All the Transformers films
All the Twilight films

Maybe I should start with the Harry Potter films, people tell me they are pretty good.

The Star Wars Prequels was just a waist of time and money.

There are still a couple of famous horror movies I have to catch up to.

I haven't watched the Transformers stuff and partially watched the Avatar before I contemplated suicide but found it was easier to send the DVD back to NetFlix.

The part of Avatar and Moulin Rouge. Wife and her friend dragged me to it and I should have killed myself before I went. It would have hurt less.

Being able to see dark humor, I was taken in by Schindler's List. I was able to see all the funny juxtapositions that Steven Spielberg put in the movie without being bothered by the persecution part and brought to tears like the other viewers. That the persecution was a bad thing didn't affect my being able to process the funny juxtapositions that SS managed to write into the movie. In fact, I watch it or Full Metal Jacket when I am upset.

Transformers.
I'm also pretty proud of the fact that I haven't seen any recent nominees for oscars, or whatever they are.

Why? What's the big deal either way? WGAS what anyone thinks of the movie when we are asking what YOU think of the movie? I will say that there is a strong reverse correlation between what Sieskel and Ebert used to say about a movie. I did use them as a guide as to what I will enjoy or not. I didn't find any correlation between the oscars though. I couldn't wait for Sieskel and Ebert to die since they irritated me with their presentation.
