5. With you on that, I REFUSE to see Titanic
although I must admit a great fondness for Kate Winslet.

I think its one of those things that people won't admit they hated because they fear that other people will make fun of them for it...but that a lot of people secretly hated.

18. I like it.
It may not be one of my fav movies but it's not bad.
It is funny when you hear some of the dialog. So many lines have been so over used since the movie came out that it almost seems like a parody of itself.

11. Chicago, simply refused to see it
because everybody I know was kissing it's ass so much. I probably will eventually though. Maybe when Scorsese gets his Oscar my bitterness will go away.

53. apparently it was written for junkies
it is *not* sentimental and that is why it is so popular. Very realistic portrayals of alcoholism, too, which I think was not common for that era. It's really unlike any film I have ever seen, it actually has the rep it does for a reason.

32. Forest Gump, Titanic, It's A Wonderful Life, all of the scary slasher movies
and many, many others. I rarely go to the theater. It's too expensive. I don't have a DVD player anymore so renting movies is not an option. I do have a VCR and can borrow VHS tapes from friends.

I have seen all three Lord of the Rings movies (loved them) and all of the Star Wars films.

I tend to like foreign and independent films. The local university has a really nice movie theater and the non-student prices are half of those at a commercial theater. The University Union shows a mix of foreign, independent, classic, documentary, animation and new releases.

The three I've seen: Aladdin, Shrek and Ice Age. Oh, and The Lion King which I hated.

35. The only Disney animated films I've seen are the Lion King and Fantasia
I've never seen Bambi, Snow White, Dumbo, Pinnochio or any of the others. I grew up in the 1970s before VCRs and then I was off to college and had no TV. I simply missed seeing the films and now I don't care to see them.

The first movie that I ever saw in a theater was Mary Poppins. I seem to recall seeing Bedknobs and Broomsticks at some point.

I've never seen Toy Story or any of the recent animated films about animals.

I did see Chicken Run, which was brilliant! I loved that one! :)

40. There are several
Titanic
Passion of the Christ
The third "Lord of the Rings"
Gone with the Wind
Silence of the Lambs (or any of its sequels)
The "Godfather" movies

With most of them it's not because I refuse to see them (although I don't really have any interest in sitting through "Passion of the Christ"). It's mostly just that I haven't seen them, and haven't had a strong enough interest in any of them to make myself see them.

Many of my friends are shocked by this as I grew up when they came out, but I've never seen any of the Star Wars movies or Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Gone With the Wind, and SuperTroopers. With the christ one, I saw the Last Temptatio of Christ and really liked it, but I just thought mel's movie was way too pretentious (we're gonna film in aramaic!! ooo-la-di-da-da) and just didn't look good to me (plus, Willem Dafoe wasn't in it). GWTW, just never bothered, and ST haven't gotten around to yet.
