Guilty movie confession

those probably don't make the list but I was not able to sit through any of the Lord of the Rings, I walked out of the theater at the first one, then rented it and somehow thought I didn't like it due to bad sounding on the big screen but I still couldn't watch it even at home.
also, everyone was so crazed about the dark knight sometime last year, my boyfriend wanted to see it so I went with him and I got so bored and wanted to walk out but I had to stay because my boyfriend wanted to watch it. It was like torture!


Gone With The Wind
Citizen Kane
Casablanca
Titanic

out of those I've only see gone with the wind and titanic. I saw Titanic in theaters then went to see it in theaters again. i was probably 10 or 11 at the time and I loved it but I haven't watched it since.
Gone with the wind was kind of boring at times...

Rant about it here at this thread!

Is it OK to link to your own threads??

I've never seen Citizen Kane, though I've watched all the others. I thought Casablanca was way over-rated.

Was Rosebud the sled? I think I remember that from a Peanuts comics...if so, then I know the ending and have no desire to watch the movie.

I fell asleep during Casablanca but I've managed to catch bits and pieces here and there.

Now, Gone With the Wind and Titanic I can actually quote I've watched them so many times. Yes, I knew how Titanic ended....but I'm sorry Leo Dicaprio is just TOO hot!

But, I've never seen ET all the way through.

Popular movies that I have never seen and still manage to sleep at night:
The Sound of Music
Grease
Apocalypse Now
Edward Scissorhands
actually, most movies from the past 10 years! I used to be an avid film-goer, but nowdays we hardly ever go to a movie.

What you said about gone with the wind..

Grease!

Go greased lightning!

I've never seen the whole movie "Grease," but I've seen the play, performed on a cruise ship, of all things.

Me too! Never watched Casablanca, and could only bear about 10 min. of Citizen Kane. I also walked out on The English Patient. But I've seen The Wizard of Oz about 10 times, ditto Sound of Music, Chicago, Oklahoma, Carousel, My Fair Lady, Phantom and South Pacific! Can you tell I LOVE musicals?

Not The Music Man and 1776?

Wow - I must really be a movie nut. I've seen every movie listed in this thread except Citizen Kane and Edward Scissorhands. And I don't really like musicals, but have seen all of those at some point in life.

I hated Titanic.

Loved Galaxy Quest - and am a huge (original series/movies/cast) Star Trek fan.

But I did like Ghostbusters II better than the original one.

But my top 10 movies of all time don't match up at ALL to the critics list! Of course, we rarely enjoy newer movies that win oscars.

I've never really been a classic, ie, black and white film watcher so I haven't seen most of those listed Ialthough I have seen the Mlatese Falcon about 3 times

one movie most folks can't believe I've never seen is Top Gun

OK, I've never seen Top Gun all the way through, either.

Confession is good for the soul.

The Music Man yes, 1776 no, never even heard of it

Somehow I have never seen Citizen Kane or Rosemary's Baby. And it took me sooo long to get through Lawrence of Arabia.

I've never watched Gone With the Wind all the way through, either. Never seen Casablanca or Citizen Kane. I really don't like old movies. For some reason the women in them annoy me greatly (usually their voices, worse if they're singing) and I don't get them in general.

Wizard of Oz is a good story, but like I said.....the voices! Ugh. Maybe it's just the sound quality, but the "baby" sound of the womens' voices just annoys me so much.

I do NOT like Grease. The actors bug me. I usually like John Travolta OK, but not in that one.

I watch Sound of Music maybe once a year. I like most musicals as well, though I have also never heard of 1776. Music Man, definitely. Not one of my favorites, but my mom loves it.

I like Forrest Gump. It's sweet.

I didn't watch Edward Scissorhands until recently, because I thought it was scary (I do not like scary movies). But I liked it a lot.

My mom taped Schindler's List a long time ago (before DVR, LOL), but I just don't have the guts to watch it. I did enjoy (is that the right word for a holocaust movie?) Life is Beautiful, though.

1776 was a musical play about the writing and signing of the Declaration of Independence. Take a look at these scenes. I guarantee you will recognize some familiar faces (Adams, especially).

A few scenes:

For God's sake, John, sit down!

Who Will Write It?

He Plays the Violin (The obligatory love song!)

And the scene cut from the movie at the demand of Richard Nixon!

Cool, Cool, Conservative Men

I have seen a suprising amount of these.

The ones I haven't I doubt I ever will.

1.CITIZEN KANE (1941) Never seen and never will.
2.CASABLANCA (1942)Thought it was boring
3.GODFATHER, THE (1972)Loved it, classic.
4.GONE WITH THE WIND (1939)I love movies of the old south so this was easy for me to sit through.
5.LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962)The length is daunting, haven't even tried to watch it.
6.WIZARD OF OZ, THE (1939)Classic, really great movie.
7.GRADUATE, THE (1967)Liked it but not sure if it should make a top 10 list?
8.ON THE WATERFRONT (1954)Saw bits and pieces but really not interested.
9.SCHINDLER'S LIST (1993)Good movie but I was going through a time of being highly interested in the holocaust and specific stories from survivors so I don't know if it would capture my attention now like it did then.
10.SINGIN' IN THE RAIN (1952)Gene Kelly......yum.
11.IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE (1946)Great movie.
12.SUNSET BOULEVARD (1950)heard of it but never looked into seeing it
13.BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI, THE (1957)See above.
14.SOME LIKE IT HOT (1959)ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES
15.STAR WARS (1977)I think its a true classic and worth seeing at least once, try seeing it with someone who loves it. Their enthusiasm is contagious.

16.ALL ABOUT EVE (1950)Never seen this one
17.AFRICAN QUEEN, THE (1951)Snooze.
18.PSYCHO (1960)Classic, won't disappoint!
19.CHINATOWN (1974)Not interested. Isn't it really violent?
20.ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST (1975)Good movie. Worth seeing at least once, but not for the faint of heart.

I can't believe some of you haven't seen Grease?

that's it, you're fired unless you take a trip to Tunisia!

As for Grease, I think I may be the only person alive who hasn't watched it.

My coworker LOVES Lawrence of Arabia. I hadn't even heard of it until he talked about it. Then he asks me to make him a Lawrence of Arabia cake. I mocked a poster, lol.

I couldn't stand watching Gone with the Wind. Maybe it was because it was on TV with commercials, of maybe it was because it dragged ON AND ON.

I liked Titanic, but didn't LOVE it. I do enjoy Dances with Wolves (must get that on DVD, btw).

Never saw Casablanca, Citizen Kane, any Godfather movie, I don't remember the Wizard of Oz, and quite a few others that would probably be ranked in the top 20 or so.

I watch a lot of movies...but like many, have never watched Casablanca...I liked GWTW, but its nowhere near what it is hyped up to be imo.
The biggest movie I refuse to watch is Titanic, the parts I have seen are just brutally bad imo, and also imo, one of Leo's worst acting jobs ever, and I dont consider him that great an actor. Ive also never been able to make it through the 3 new star wars movies (episodes I-III), and find them generally brutal as well....I do like the original 3 though.
