Popular films you've not seen:

Was listening to some remix of ‘she’s like the wind’ today and I commented to a work mate that I’d never seen Dirty Dancing. She was in complete shock, so that got me thinking about all these popular films that i’ve never got round to watching. Here are some of the ones I’ve never fully seen:

James Bond movies
Harry potter movies
Matrix
Star Trek/Star Wars
Jurassic park
Seven
Godfather
Pulp Fiction
Raiders of the lost ark
Crocodile dundee
Titanic
Dilwale Dulhanya Le Jayege
Kuch kuch hota hai
Hum aapke hai kaun
Love 86 :stuck_out_tongue:

Kinda crazy considering I’ve watched some of the most bizarre foreign stuff around. Even more bizarre as I actually have many of the above films in my DVD collection but am reluctant to watch them cuz I’m saving them for a rainy day :hehe:

So what are yours?

Re: Popular films you've not seen:

you should catch the Indiana Jones series Sobi! That's actually entertaining :D

Just off the top of my head:
Scarface
American Pie
Reservoir Dogs
Water
Guide
Star Wars - the new ones
no plans of seeing Star Trek :~)

  6. part of Sixth Sense

Re: Popular films you've not seen:

Mughal-E-Azam
Taj Mahal
Kaho Na Pyar Hai
plus many of the gora-fied movies, like James Bond, Harry Potter, Matrix, Jurassic Park, etc...

Re: Popular films you've not seen:

^^ well said!....but sometimes u feel like ur missin out on culture by not watchig a total hit film!

Re: Popular films you've not seen:

^^

nah! dont beleive in all dat, if u started thinkin lyk dat u'd end up forcing urself to watch all gora-fied and asian movies/programmes....

i especially hate it when at work ppl go on and on about sumthng u aint seen, some ppl actually pretend they have to not feel discluded, and then sum ppl own up, i tend to tell ppl dat i aint got time to b glued to d box so got more to life than movies/programmes...

Re: Popular films you've not seen:

you have nt seen titanic?omg.i am glad i did'nt see harry potter.i hate crap like that

Re: Popular films you’ve not seen:

^ i actually went to the cinema to watch it but ended up watching something else … thought I’d catch it when it came out on video but never got round to it. Seen a few clips on tv since then but it all seemed a bit too mushy for my liking

EVERYONE keeps telling me to watch Indiana Jones … I think that rainy day is going to have to come early!

Seher, are you serious about Superman? :eek:

Re: Popular films you've not seen:

^oh really i actually went to the theater to watch a james bond movie and ended up watching this one and it turned out to be one of my best movie watching experiences,everybody in the theater clapped at the end of the show

Re: Popular films you've not seen:

Re: Popular films you've not seen:

From your list I have not seen these movies and have no plans or intention to watch them.

Re: Popular films you’ve not seen:

Memento
James Bond movies
Seven
Crocodile Dundee

I saw Star Wars only right before Episode 1 came out.

What’s funny is that we own the Superman and Star Trek movies, and my husband bought the Indiana Jones specifically so I would watch. Still haven’t, though.
