I love the first 2 Godfather films. The second is the best.

My daughter loves all those films. I think they're rubbish. But Hot Fuzz was the worst.

It suffers in comparison with the other two, but it's miles better than Hot Fuzz, say.

Spaced is good by any measure, as is Shaun of the Dead... If you're stoned they're elevated to levels of genius, but they're reasonable even to a sober soul.

I must also admit that there's a regional aspect; I grew up around Tufnell park/Kentish/Camden town, Pegg's stomping ground, and there're many NW5ish aspects that are comforting to those of us who grew up there. Also I was a courier briefly, and there is a courier in spaced.
Fair enough, I can imagine.

This, very much
Also never watched any Indiana Jones film(they've been on while I've been doing other things but they don't interest me)
Bond films without Sean Connery are not worth watching.
Only Tom Cruise film I've ever properly watched is Legend, which has Mr Curry in it
Anything with Rowan Atkinson<spits> is also avoided.
Any modern war film, many 'action' films, neither of the 2nd two LOTR or the 'new' Star Wars.
I do watch films, Despicable Me was ace, and going to watch no 2 soon

Honestly, I know this goes against the grain, but Mr Beans Holiday is a classic- and I dont like Mr Bean
I watched The Princess Bride a month or two ago. At least, I saw about half of it, it was a badly scratched rental DVD and wouldn't play any more. I had been assured that it was a masterpiece, and that if I could get over the title, it was a brainbox quotathon. Let's just say, I didn't bother to get a replacement. It was mildly amusing in a half-hearted way, but utterly unremarkable. I don't get it.
I've never seen the Harry Potter films, but I didn't think they were for grown-ups. Ditto, ET or Star Wars (any of them).
There are probably others, but that list is dwarfed into insignificance by the number of films I have seen that I wish i hadn't. Uppermost in my mind is Love Actually, which is the most vile, sugar-coated bucket of shit I've encountered for a while. I blame its availability via streaming on Netflix. I made it as far as the thick guy getting lucky with the hot American girls. I think I deserve a medal for doing that.

No, it's not bad, but it's not great either. And in your heart you kind of know that although it's alright, it's actually just shite.

At least it finishes the story off. And I like the ending at the opera

I thin that's one of its problems; loose ends shouldn't always be tied up. Because of Michael's character development (which is perfectly reasonable in itself), the feel becomes more soap-like.

It's just the ending from the book
It's been a long time since I read it but I'm certain it isn't; one and two are the adaptations of the book.

Whereas the first two films are top notch cinema, the book is not top notch literature.

I'm pretty sure the book covers all three films.
Well I was until now....
Haven't read the book for 20 years

Any of the Godfather films
Casablanca (tbh I did try but gave up after 10 minutes - included because some people are shocked about this)
Robocop
I also hadn't seen any of the Die Hard films until last year when I mentioned it to Crispy , and he considered it his duty to rectify this. He's not done this for Robocop yet but I imagine it's coming.

I'm shocked by this. Casablanca is a completely brilliant film. This is despite itself, admittedly. The plot is paper-thin, the characterisation of "the boy", Sam, is excruciating. And yet ...
Somehow it transcends cliche and tells a hokey story very well. Perhaps I like it being simplistically satisfying. Whether it's the bar defiantly singing La Marseillaise or the deliciously quotable lines or Bogart's salvation, it all fits together so nicely.
Btw, I'm glad you didn't say The Silence Of The Lambs.

Exasperated, not angry.
But you haven't! It's one of the finest films in cinema history, worth every moment. Just to hear Rick say 'I was misinformed' - pure joy.Tbf I've seen so many parodies of Casablanca I feel like I've now watched the film

Those are the ones. I hadn't even heard of them until the guy died. When I first saw the headlines, I didn't realise they were referring to a film.
