Europa is wonderful, and a fairly easy way in. Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark or Melancholia after that.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

Dancer in the Dark ftw

 

[Jimathon]

I've not seen Citizen Kane, 2001 or Honey I Blew Up The Kids

[QOTH]

I've never seen Grease or Dirty Dancing, and as such will probably be thrown out of womankind quite soon.

I've also never seen Blade Runner all the way through. I've tried, god knows I've tried, but there's always some point in the film where I just fall asleep (always a different point though - so I have technically seen it, just not all in one go). I think it's created some kind of pavlovian response.

 

[DotCommunist]

I've never seen Educating Rita either, it looks like a made for caine vehicle and I just didn't fancy it

I have seen this now and it was worth my time

What this reveals is that Tom Hanks is my most-avoided actor. Who'd have thought he'd be in so many of the Greatest Movies of All Time though?

 

[SpookyFrank]

There are sixty of those I haven't seen, and a few more I didn't get to the end of.

But then the list doesn't have The Great Escape or Terminator 2 so I call 'shit list'.

There's some right turkeys on there. You have to expect that these kinds of lists will include a few so-so recent films which got the nod just because they were the last thing people saw (King's Speech...) but Dances with Wolves? One of the best films of all time? And Tootsie but no Withnail and I or The Odd Couple. And no Bladerunner.

Thelma and Louise needs to be added to this list.

I have now also seen Die Hard and one of the other Die Hards. And Star Wars was foisted on me quite recently too. This is a little bit upsetting as during all the brouhaha about the new Star Wars film coming out I was not able to say I've never seen the original.

Fuck off, Tootsie is great !

 

[Steel Icarus]

Never seen Citizen Kane, Shawshank, West Side Story, Lawrence of Arabia, Amelie, Good Will Hunting, The English Patient, Mrs Doubtfire, Transformers, most of the Batman films

 

[Sea Star]

I watched it for the first time last year, it's worth a watch

I watched it last year for first time too after my friend in Canada kept insisting that I watch it! So I did and I enjoyed it!

Also not seen any Bond films except the latest since Moonraker.
Not seen any Harry Potter movie
Not seen the last Hobbit film
Not seen Avatar
Unfortunately ended up seeing titanic, Pearl Harbour and a whole load of shit films with Tom Hanks in while travelling. I saw Pearl Harbour travelling by coach to Prague. And plenty of films I shouldn't have seen in the 80s, I saw because the Daily Mirror regularly gave away free tickets to shit films and all my mates went.

Till a year ago the list of films I hadn't seen was pretty impressive but my partner & my friend in Canada, between them, have sat me down and made me watch most of them now!

 

[purenarcotic]

Avatar is dreadful

 

[rubbershoes]

Never seen Citizen Kane, Shawshank, West Side Story, Lawrence of Arabia, Amelie, Good Will Hunting, The English Patient, Mrs Doubtfire, Transformers, most of the Batman films

Out of that list, i'd only bother watching Lawrence of Arabia. Preferably on a massive screen

 

[Reno]

Europa is wonderful, and a fairly easy way in. Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark or Melancholia after that.

The only thing you ever really need to see by Von Trier is Riget (aka The Kingdom). The rest I can't take very seriously.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

St Elmos Fire
Fast times at rigmont high
18 candles
Dirty Dancing

 

[DotCommunist]

Avatar is dreadful

I bet it was ace if you watched it high at an IMAX. I liked it well enough on widescreen monitor at home but I don't think I'll be re watching it this decade

 

[quimcunx]

I'm watching home alone for the first time.

 

[danny la rouge]

I'm watching home alone for the first time.

I watched it for the first time earlier this year.

 

[DaveCinzano]

I'm watching home alone for the first time.

I watched it for the first time earlier this year.

I too have watched it (several times over, cheers kids) for the first time this past year

#HomeAloneVirgins

 

[DaveCinzano]

18 candles

Is that the R-rated sequel to Sixteen Candles?

 

[DaveCinzano]

You haven't asked for my opinion, but I'm going to give it anyway.

Have you ever thought about having that as a john x / kained&unable-esque sig?

Good idea!

Still haven't, and no imminent plans to...

 

[DaveCinzano]

Good idea!

I think it works

Who did you watch home with before?
