Honest_Man#1 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 All of the LOTR and Star Wars films. Did try watching the first hour of LOTR and when they still hadn’t left the fucking shire I gave up. Borefest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergie's no1 fan Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Only seen 1 Star Wars film and that was the Jar Jar Binks one. Not seen any Harry Potter guff. Not seen any of the 100 DC Marvel guff released in the past 5 years or so, apart from Venom. Never seen inception, I intend to but from what I've heard I don't think I've got the patience for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) I still haven't seen Citizen Kane. Nor Lawrence of Arabia. Also haven't seen the majority of classic Westerns, including most of Clint Eastwood's spaghetti westerns and the works of John Wayne, as they used to be constantly on the telly on Sunday afternoons when I was wee, and the ones I did see were interminably boring to a kid who liked giant fighting robots and never gave a shit about cowboys & indians. Never seen a John Hughes film, as they all looked like something I really had no interest in. Edit: amending the last one, as I didn't realise he did Ferris Bueller, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, and Uncle Buck. I did like me some John Candy. If you look at John Hughes' later writing/producing credits, his quality control went right downhill after he finished directing!

accies1874 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I haven't seen most "classics" longer than 150 minutes. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Apart from really old films that are classics like It’s A Wonderful Life and stuff, I think the most modern for me would be Schindler’s List. I also have never and will never watch any Lord of the Rings pish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Never watched a single film from the Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Fast and the Furious franchises. All look like a crock of fucking shite truth be told. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I've not seen any Richard Curtis after 4 Weddings. I'm not sure i've seen any romantic comedies at all since Hitch. Do they still make them? Just missing Conan the Destroyer out of having watched all of Arnie's ouevre (i think), although i did fall asleep in the one where his daughter's a zombie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that we ever sold any, but we could've built a new shop out of the millions of romcom DVDs that were given to us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Lawrence of Arabia on re-release in the old, and much missed, Odeon in Clerk Street. It was a boiling hot summer day outside and the aircon in the cinema wasn't working so it gave the desert scenes added reality. I seem to recall it was a good film but that was about 30 years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always good when the surroundings enhance the film you're watching. I saw the first Resident Evil film with some brainless zombies who brought their extremely young children along because they couldn't find a babysitter, presumably. The stampede to the lift at the start coincided with a sudden rush to bundle up the screaming weans and rush them out of the cinema. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
