Movies that everyone has seen but you!
Someone posted about "A Christmas Story" - never seen that movie. I've also never seen "It's a Wonderful Life" or "ET". I suspect that I will go my lifetime never seeing those movies either

12. They all suck.
At first I thought they were alright, but I now realise that was wishful thinking. I wanted them to be alright. But they weren't. They were crap.

I say that as a great fan of the books.

30. I saw the first movie and read the first book, but neither really maintained my interest enough...
To warrant following up. Just not that into fantasy, I guess.

5. Titanic, Gone With the Wind
Goodfellas, The Godfather Parts II and III, any of the Rocky movies after the first one, any of the Terminator movies after the first one...quite a lot of films, actually.

21. Haven't seen ET either.
Me, you, and LynneSin should form a club, pop some popcorn, and not watch ET together.

26. I get uncomfortable watching unawares people
having one pulled over on them.

It's the socially anxious in me.

31. I don't like 'comedy' that tries to make me cringe.
I don't want to cringe. No matter what good a point it is making. I want to laugh out loud.

19. And I've never made it through Dirty Dancing awake, either.
The mere mention of that movie puts me to sleep.

22. Most of them. I don't go to movie theaters, for several reasons:
1) Because of my back, I can't sit still in a chair / theater seat for more than 20 minutes.

2) Movies in theaters are TOO GODDAMN LOUD!

3) There's always some son of a bitch behind me who sticks his knees into the back of my seat, and I end up threatening to murder him in a graphic and lurid way if he does it EVEN ONCE more. And I do so loudly.

25. Okay, you know there's an invention called "video" now
They even make them in shiny little disks these days.

28. Yes, that's how I watch movies now. I even use a device called a "laptop" computer
and a pair of things called "headphones" to watch those "videos" without waking anyone in the house up late at night.

And the shiny little disks are fascinating to look at when you hold them up to the light.

But I wonder how they get the movies into those little rainbows on the disks?
