Movies you never watched and there's NO WAY IN HELL you'll ever watch?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

Me: Trainspotting. Yes, because of the baby. I was glad to hear about it before someone could coax me into watching it.

[proud patriot]

1. Gone with the wind

no way no how

[Misunderestimator]

106. me too... zero desire to see that

[Mizmoon]

2. Faces of Death and Bumfights

and the like.

[Beware the Beast Man]

3. I watched the Bumfights trailer.

And felt a strange mix of entertainment and shame. Mostly shame.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

11. Hear hear

Actually I feel a strange kind of relief from that movie's existence -- I feel confirmation that I'm not a psycho.

[slutticus]

42. oops...wrong place

[Shredr]

45. Off topic

Is it "hear hear" or "here here"? Does it mean, "hear me, I agree" or "over here, I agree"? I never knew.

[Salviati]

48. It is in fact: "Hear Hear"

I looked up the orgins of it a while ago...

[Shredr]

64. Thanks

I was always curious.

[Left Is Write]

87. Th Faces Of Death movies popped into my head as

my obvious answer also.

[Dukkha]

96. I've seen the first 2 Faces of Death

They're pretty funny because they're so obviously fake with hilariously inappropriate soundtracks.

[Lavender Brown]

4. Armageddon and Independence Day

and others of that ilk.

[mandyky]

29. I actually liked Armageddon

It wasn't what I thought it was though..

[mandyky]

30. Anything with Adam Sandler

Anything of the ilk of Dumb and Dumber.

[HeyManThatsCool]

49. I liked both : - )

To each his own

[LynneSin]

5. Dances with Wolves

I attempted to watch it - it was more like "Dances with a powerful sleeping pill"

[meegbear]

6. Titantic

but I saw the 30 second bunny version and I know the boat sinks, so I'm covered.

[LostInAnomie]

52. I'm proud to say I have never watched Titanic either.

I never plan to.

[ffm172]

68. same here n/t

[yellowdogintexas]

53. saw the old version, don't need to see the new one

boat sinks, lots of people die

[Billy Ruffian]

63. I haven't even seen the bunny version

and I haven't, and won't, see Titanic.

[njdemocrat106]

75. I made a vow to never see Titanic

but my senior-year US History teacher in High School was so excited to have acquired a copy of it and showed it on the first day of class as a "treat". Well, I only saw about the first 10-15 minutes of it. (As I recall, they made a pretty big deal about the release of Titanic on video. I think there were lines outside the local Blockbuster a little before midnight when it went on sale in September 1998, in which I started senior year.)

[flamingyouth]

82. Me too

:thumbsdown:

[regnaD kciN]

97. But have you seen the sequel?

http://www.eskimo.com/~jwalley/nl/TitanicII/index.htm

;-)

[mandyky]

7. Passion of the Christ

due to violence and subtitles, as well as supporting anything biy george's supporters feed into.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

Add that to my list. (nt)

[Streetdoc270]

12. Me too

I tell everyone I read the book and didn't like the ending. :evilgrin:

[khashka]

18. Total agreement

I will never watch that movie. Never, never, never. The loving portrayal of excruciating torture (yes I've seen clips). The very idea of it makes me sick to my stomach.

Khash.

[barb162]

19. that one and "Pulp Fiction"

[kcwayne]

21. Same here

[Stealther]

31. Ditto

Nothing but a snuff-film.

A fetishization of violence.

[xmas74]

32. Same here.

[HeyManThatsCool]

50. Count me in on NOT watchin that too

[yellowdogintexas]

54. Will NEVER see it. EVER

not no how, not no way

[yellowdogintexas]

59. any of the "Rocky" movies; any of the "JAWS" movies

also the whole Hannibal Lechter series

[Dedalus]

109. WHAT?

The first "Rocky" and the first "Jaws" are both masterpieces; easily two of my 10 favorite films. I strongly suggest watching both, and then refraining from ever watching any of the terrible sequels.

[Seabiscuit]

72. Ditto, ditto, ditto

[Hardrada]

73. I also would avoid that one.

[drhilarius]

79. Count me in on that one...

don't care for snuff films.

[skypilot]

8. "She Hate Me"

I've been enjoying Spike Lee movies less and less over the years. When I read the synopsis on the DVD case I knew that I would never sit through this movie. It sounds fucking ridiculous.

[Redstone]

9. Kramer vs Kramer...

I had an ugly divorce of my own; why the hell would I want to pay to watch a movie about someone else's?

Redstone

[Crunchy Frog]

10. I really liked Trainspotting

but yeah, the part with the baby was really kind of creepy.

Ummm, there are some remakes that I will never watch, I tend to be a bit of a purist. I know I will never watch The Passion of Christ. I'm just not into the idea of a snuff film about Jesus.

[KitchenWitch]

13. Silence of the Lambs

YUK

[realisticphish]

41. actually

a GREAT movie; there is a little blood to it, but it's mostly a psychological horror film. after all, hannibal is in jail for most of the movie

as for the sequal "hannibal", :puke::puke::puke:

:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[khashka]

14. Anything with Charlton Heston

But you are making a mistake about Trainspotting. It's actually a pretty good movie.

One of my favourite films is The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover. Everybody hates that and I agree, it is pretty ugly. I was living with my sister in college and she moved out because I merely had it on video.

Khash.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

15. Another one: Team America (nt)

[terrya]

16. "Crossroads"

That Britney Spears thing. I love movies, but that's just never, ever, going to happen for me. Me watching some piece of shite like that.

[khashka]

20. I never considered that it was a movie... n/t

[fudge stripe cookays]

25. Ha!!! Great minds think alike, my lad!

I'd rather shove a boiling hot poker into my own eye.

FSC

[ProfessorGAC]

35. I Thought We Were Going To Be a-Fightin'

I thought you meant the Ralph Macchio blues movie. I LOVE that movie. Boy, there's some good guitar playing in that. Ry Cooder and Steve Vai!

Now, i wouldn't watch the Britney version at gunpoint. So, i guess we're still on the same page.

BTW: Sorry i missed you Sunday. I couldn't stay. My wife was sick and i had to leave for Philly on Monday morning.
The Professor

[terrya]

37. Oh, no, no, no...not THAT movie., That was pretty decent.

No, the piece of cinematic crapola I was referring to was some damned excuse to put Britney Spears in movies.

Notice how there hasn't been any further talk of doing so again. :-)

I'm sorry I missed you too, Prof. Here's hoping we'll see each other at the next Meetup.

T

[ProfessorGAC]

39. Movie Studios HATE(!) Losing Money

It doesn't matter how big an exec at Disney her uncle is, (mom's brother, btw), once a studio takes a major bath on a movie, the "star" is pretty much D-O-N-E.
The Professor

[barackmyworld]

86. BEST BAD MOVIE EVER

Seriously, I laughed through the whole thing. It was excellent when I saw it in the theater where my group of rowdy friends was surrounded by 9-year-olds and their grandmas. So many hilarious, crappy lines

[regnaD kciN]

98. As the review said...

...Britney's "not a girl, not yet a woman...and definitely not an actress."

:spank:

[BlueStateGirl]

17. Pootietang, Freddy Got Fingered, Jack Ass the Movie,Resident Evil..

1 and 2, White Chicks, Road Trip,

::shudder::

[MissMillie]

22. I think I can safely put all of those on my list too

ick

[mark414]

62. you lumped pootietang in with the rest of those movies???

blasphemer!

j/k

but i do love my pootietang

[Longgrain]

23. Titanic

Most people I've talked to who've seen say it's way overrated, plus I have no interest in seeing it, so there...:P

[Hans Delbrook]

58. Lucky you!

I only wish I had those three hours of my life back!

[Jessica]

24. From Justin to Kelly & Son of the Mask

:scared:

[maveric]

26. Titanic

Sappy, sappy, sappy!

[Beaverhausen]

27. Cold Mountain. finally saw it this weekend. What a stupid film

and what was with Nicole Kidman's makeup and costumes? She looked like Donna Karan designed her clothes. It really wrecked the film for me.

[xmas74]

33. I didn't care for it either.

[DaveinMD]

66. I liked it

I thought it was very good and made some important historical statements.

[redqueen]

28. Too many to list, really.

Many are already on this thread: (Passion of the Christ, Pootietang, etc.)

[CO Liberal]

34. "Open Water"

No desire to see two people stranded in shark-infested water.

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

40. Possibly the worst movie I've ever seen

Boring as hell. Even the shark "action" was boring, what little there was.

[Misunderestimator]

107. I'm with you on that... wish I hadn't wasted my time.

[ralps]

36. Battlefield Earth and Passion of the Christ

:hi:

[MrModerate]

38. Just seeing those two titles together has given me a migraine

But I'll bet they're on a double-bill somewhere in Amurrica.

[Shredr]

44. Now there's a wretch-worthy double feature.

[VOX]

99. You've picked a double bill that would put me in the nuthouse.

So, no thanks!

[slutticus]

43. "Soul Plane". Any of the "Bridget Jones" movies....

...let's see......."Glitter", "Gili"...."From Justin to Kelly"....so many more.

I'm proud to say I will NEVER see any of these movies.

[Shredr]

46. SIdeways

Too much like my life -- fat, mid 30s, failed writer -- too depressing.

[On the Road]

108. Oh, Man, You Would LOVE Sideways

if you can identify with Miles. You should really reconsider. And it's actually not a depressing movie.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

47. Gigli

nt

[barackmyworld]

88. Good call

It made me die a little inside.

[UdoKier]

51. Any kind of snuff, including Passion of the Christ - exploitative crap...

...like bumfights

any kind of dumb rightwing "expose" like that anti-Michael Moore/9-11 film.

[Merrick]

55. Speedo Patrol

[SmileyBoy]

56. Winnie The Pooh's Heffalump Movie

Or any movie geared to the 2-14 demographic for that matter.

[Hans Delbrook]

57. You know it was a great movie and I'm glad I saw it

but I'll never watch it again because of that. I actually got physically ill from that scene and had to leave the theater momentarily.

[Gogi]

60. 'Legends of the Fall'

eom

[ComerPerro]

61. DC 911 : Time of Crisis

Or whatever the hell that Propaganda film was called.

[Pithlet]

65. Sophie's Choice.

No way. I get near tears just thinking about it.

[solinvictus]

67. Anything with Adam Sandler...

Period.

[enigmatic]

69. anything w/ Pauly Shore, Tom Green, or "Titanic"..

Rudy Ray Moore, on the other hand...

[drumwolf]

70. "Pearl Harbor" and "White Chicks" top my list.

Infinitely more so than "The Passion of the Christ" or "Titanic."

Someone mentioned "From Justin to Kelly." I have a perverse appreciation for cinematic car wrecks -- I actually enjoyed Vanilla Ice's "Cool as Ice." So, I would be totally open to watching "From Justin to Kelly," especially if I had a nice big fat joint to smoke while watching it.

[Seabiscuit]

71. Any new movies starring Tom Cruise or John Revolta

[Hardrada]

74. Joe Dirt

Dumb & Dumber, also that South Park one.

[njdemocrat106]

76. The American Pie movies

I'll be a blasphemer here and say I liked The Passion of the Christ, so sue me. (Better yet, don't. I'm pretty broke :) )

[fleabert]

77. baseketball.

[baron j]

78. The upcoming Kingdom of Heaven

Like Orlando Bloom, like any period piece, anything medieval, but am not so keen on watching something glorifying the crusades. especially in these times. Unless I was misled by the trailer...

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

80. The movie will GLORIFY the Crusades?

I can't believe it. Sources?

[Beausoir]

92. It doesn't glorify the crusades.

From early script reviews it sounds like a pretty accurate portrayal.
Very intense battle scenes.
I think it sounds promising.

And a little Orlando never hurt anyone.

[MrSlayer]

81. LOTR, Dungeons and Dragons, American Psycho

Because I know they will make me sick and never live up to the books.

[achtung_circus]

83. JAWS

No way, no how. I hate the music, I always knew I'd hate the movie. I'll never be certain, of course, because I will not watch it.

[steve2470]

84. Silence of the Lamb nt

[EstimatedProphet]

85. Grease

[sakabatou]

89. Celcius 41.11

Heard it was crap. And most likely is.

[maveric]

90. Farenhype 9/11

[Art_from_Ark]

91. Any movie starring, or directed by, an "action hero",

especially Der Boobengroper;
Any movie that centers around blood-n-guts;
Any movie that is excessively juvenile

[Lydia Leftcoast]

93. Anything that gives me the following impression from the trailiers:

1) The movie consists mostly of explosions, fights, and car chases.

2) The movie is full of gross-out jokes that aren't particularly funny

3) The movie glorifies war

4) The movie has high Roman numerals after it

5) The movie is a pretentious indie feature by a director who thinks he's being innovative because his characters are chain-smoking, foul-mouthed lowlifes.

[Melynn]

94. Any Musical

Sorry fans of movie musicals, I hate the genre. :puke:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

100. THAK YOU! I though I was the only one.

So, the guy is talking with his friend about how he loves this girl -- AND EVERYBODY STARTS SINGING AND DANCING!

IDIOTIC!

[InvisibleTouch]

103. Count another one.

I even hate the musical numbers in the Disney films. I always want to say "Get on with the story already!" Play the songs in the background and release them as a soundtrack, if you must - some of the all-time greatest music comes from movie soundtracks - but don't bring the action to a dead stop so everyone can sing and dance around like idiots!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

104. Oooooo those are the WORST offenders

As soon as I had brains enough to barely follow a story I hated that gratuitous singing.

[Misunderestimator]

110. Then you sir, have no class...

:P

You should see "Sweeney Todd." That might be your kind of musical. :)

[Dukkha]

95. Steel Magnolias

It just seems to be the ultimate quintessential pukefest schmaltzy chick film

[antigone382]

101. Any of the American Pie films.

No. Just no.

[DS1]

102. Moulan Rouge

:puke:

[moez]

105. Anything with Julia Roberts...

[WI_DEM]

111. I've never seen "Star Wars"

I don't care for science fiction, so I doubt I ever will.

[yellowdogintexas]

112. but "Star Wars" is just a Western in different outfits

really.

You should give it a try, because it is really entertaining. Not the same kind of scifi as say "Dune", or Ray Bradbury, or some of the other stuff..

It's not really scifi, it is a space horse opera

[Bridget Burke]

113. "Space Opera" is a real genre....

And the original Star Wars movies definitely fit. As a science fiction fan since the 2nd grade, the TV's Twilight Zone was the most accurate presentation of what I'd been reading.

But Star Wars was really excellent fun. Too bad about what's happened to the series..
