What 'famous' movies haven't you seen?

**Propagator** · 02-04-2006, 01:59 AM

Clockwork Orange was good - a cult movie of its time.

Have not seen any of the Jaws films or any of the revenge ones that starred Charles Bronson - forget the name of these but think there was 2 or 3 made.

Death Wish. The first one was quite good, but with the sequels you get to thinking that anyone that unlucky must bring on themselves somehow.

I picture myself in an English pub saying I've never seen ACO and everyone sets down their beer.

Americans loved The Avengers tv series. The writers of Married with Children paid tribute with a episode which circled around Al Bundy getting a chubby for leather-clad Emma Peele.

Hmmm...

I think I've seen every movie ever made. I even had to suffer one of the Harry Potter movies on a flight back from Aus once (I should've asked for a refund).

I haven't seen Garfield. Does that count?

**MeMock** · 02-04-2006, 01:27 PM

The scary thing is Marmers is that I have seen Garfield - I am so ashamed but its true and it was the worst movie of all time.

I had never even heard of Clockwork Orange

Thought it was Shite. The book was fantastic. Trying to evoke the mood and attitudes brought about in the book (it's rather short and the language in it requires some concentration at first, bears re-reading) just doens't work in film. most movies do a dis-service t the books they're based on. This is just one of the worst instances, IMO.
Seeing the movie, perhaps I was trying to follow the plot line from the book. Kubrick lost it somewhere between script and edit, I think.
Now Caligula was a great movie.

NO Star Wars

NO Lord of the Rings

NO Harry Potter

NO Colin Farrell

NO Russell Crowe

NO Shrek type films

NO over-hyped stuff, like Charlies Angels or films where folks like Mariah Carey, Britney or Beyonce et al make "guest" appearances......

There's a thread about box-office movies that were rubbish, but you couldn't post in there could you - Oh, no, had to bump up your own thread - Well I've got your card marked MM. To think of the times I've defended you against your detractors and their accusations - some of which were quite bizarre and many of which I agreed with.....I'd expect this behaviour from CMN, but from you.....

There's l-o-a-d-s of "famous" films that I haven't seen yet, but a few that come to mind are:

King Kong (1933)
The Godfather
Fight Club
Friday the 13th
Halloween (I've just bought this one on DVD though)
Blade Runner
Trainspotting
Ed Wood

**danbo** · 03-04-2006, 12:35 AM

You haven't seen the Godfather! You must. Stop whatever you're doing and see it - now - whatever it takes.

It was on TV a couple of weeks ago but our VCR didn't record it properly for some strange reason.

Might have to keep my eye out for the DVD.

**danbo** · 03-04-2006, 02:01 AM

Oooh, Fight Club is on BBC 2 tonight, so that'll be one off my list.

I almost forgot about that one. Thanks for the reminder.

I've seen it also, it's fun, I like it.

So does my cousin (8 years old).

**ChiangMai noon** · 03-04-2006, 09:19 AM

Oh..GoW.
I am tempted to give you red for that one.
But I am far to much of a gentleman.

**RandomChances** · 03-04-2006, 09:56 AM

I've also seen Garfield. I did'nt want to mention it on this thread, not out of embaressment but due to the fact that :-

1. It's not really that famous
2. I have seen it

Which would make it the exact opposite of what the OP's question was

The best movies that I've never seen are 'Casablanca' and 'Debbie Does Dallas'.

The movies that I've most enjoyed never having seen are any of Charlie Chaplins, any of the 'Rocky's, and 'Gay Bikers and the Daisy Chain'.

I enjoyed not seeing that so much that I think I'll not see it today as well.

I haven't seen that fruit movie yet, "Brokeback Mountain". I mean ... why do I need to see a movie about two cowboys humpin' each other? Of course one of them will end up with a brokeback.

**attaboy** · 03-04-2006, 12:21 PM

^They weren't cowboys. They were SHEEPHERDERS!.

Another one of those kiwi films methinks.

**Butterfly** · 03-04-2006, 12:27 PM

Is anyone here too ashamed to admit here they went to see "Charlies' Angels" ?

Garfield was on HBO and it's actually great for the kids.

Not as bas I was expecting but I was surfing the web with the movie in the background.

Macha didn't tell me that.

^Macha wants to keep you barefoot and preggers too.
