On Titanic... if you can do away with the hype and judge it on it's own, I feel it is worth seeing. Just because it is the highest grossing film of all time (and probably will remain so for some years yet!) shouldn't deter you. There's a reason why it made so much money... because it has something for everyone.

Passion of the Christ: loved it, and this is coming from an atheist. I've never before been in a theater where probably 9 out of 10 watching it were bawling their eyes out for 50% of the movie. It was worse than going to a funeral in some ways.

Matrix Revolutions... I personally liked Reloaded more than Revolutions, although both films were below the high bar set by the first. There are plenty who feel Revolutions is better; you might be one of those people. They are showing this movie on HBO at least a few times a week, if you're even mildly interested.

Blade Runner... I love this movie, but admittedly it is a little slow and I've found many of my friends won't set through it either. I've tried showing it to them but they get bored. In contrast, Legend, filmed around the same time by the same director, is a Cult classic among me and my friends.

Rent it. Now.


I won't deny that any one person may greatly enjoy this movie, but I've always thought Pulp Fiction was a bit overrated.

It's not that it wasn't a good movie, it was good. I just got irratated by how some people went on and on about this movie as if it was perfect or something. I met lots of people who refused to hear anything bad about this movie.

Well, a lot of these have already been named, but here goes:

Titanic
Godfather (any of them)
Armageddon
Blair Witch
Pulp Fiction
Usual Suspects (I'm so tired of people telling me I've got to see that movie!)
Any of the Die Hard movies (I've seen parts, but never a whole one)
Gone With the Wind
Any Halloween movie
Any Freddy Krueger movie
Passion of Christ
Most animated Disney films made after 1970 (Lion King, Beauty & the Beast, Aladdin, etc)

I didn't see Braveheart until a couple years after it was released, and then I wondered what all the fuss was about. :\

You, sir, I like.

My sentiments exactly!

Same here.

I'm told "it's so good" all the time. But - I've never had the opportunity to sit down and watch it... and it doesn't look good enough for me to make the opportunity.

Now - I may not see it just to piss off certain people that find it horrific that I haven't seen it. ;)
 

Haven't seen:
Passion of the Christ - No interest, but I suppose I MAY see it at some point
The Incredibles - Want to see it, but I just haven't gotten around to it
Ocean's Eleven
Ocean's Twelve
The Godfather - No real Interest
Gone with the Wind - No interest
Grease - Ditto
War of the Worlds (the new one) - I want to see it, but I guess I can wait until the DVD
Fantastic Four - Ditto
The Usual Suspects - A movie that I want to see, just not enough to rent...
None of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies or the Friday the 13th movies
Young Frankenstein
Shrek
Shrek 2
Dr. Strangelove
The Professional

Movies that I've only seen parts of:
Pulp Fiction - I always catch the last two stories, which are pretty damn good. I want to see the rest
Army of Darkness - I ALWAYS catch this movie right when he's getting beaten up by the little Ash's. Never finished watching it...
