Movies everyone's seen

[Coach_Mac]

I just got done watching Edward Scissorhands for the first time and was wondering...what movie have you not seen that most people have?

[tele7]

ET and The Big Lebowski

[JPMNICK]

i never saw goonies... there i said it

and i was born in 1981

[Fallon]

The Godfather.

[JPMNICK]

The Godfather.

you would be surprised how many people never had. Pretty much 75% of the people i run into haven't

[Mullenax]

Predator. Caught some shit for that this weekend.

[PapaBear]

Die Hard 2 and any Back to Future sequel.

[BoondockSaint]

Wizard of Oz
To Kill a Mockingbird
GAP

[hedges]

The second Star Wars trilogy.

[thepaulo]

Wizard of Oz was on TNT tonight.....you have no excuse.

[BoondockSaint]

Wizard of Oz was on TNT tonight.....you have no excuse.

I fucking posted before I read the first post.

[thepaulo]

Everybody is suppose to watch the Wizard of Oz once a year every year of their life.

[PapaBear]

Everybody is suppose to watch the Wizard of Oz once a year every year of their life.
I did that religiously when I was a kid.

[MrPink]

The Dark Knight

[thepaulo]

You need to do it religiously.....I'm a minister in Oz.

[realmenhatelife]

ET
Casablanca

[underdog]

Other than Citizen Kane, I've never watched a black and white movie.

[Thebazile78]

I think the "everyone" depends on who you are, where you grew up and what your perception of a "cultural touchstone" movie is ...

For example, among the kids I grew up with, The Crying Game seemed to be a huge rite of passage. I have yet to see that.

I have not seen Predator or Alien (or either movie's sequels.)

I was in college before I saw the original Star Wars the entire way through, although I saw Return of the Jedi in the movie theater when I was a kid. (And made Jabba the Hut out of Play-Doh with my brother Ger for months afterward. And went to see the Ice Capades that starred the Ewoks. And made my parents sit through one of the TV specials that was supposed to have been simulcast on the radio so you could hear it "in stereo" but nobody else seems to know what I'm talking about when I mention it.)

I hadn't seen The Empire Strikes Back until ... 5 years ago.

I hadn't seen Pulp Fiction or The Godfather until I was in college.

It took me longer to see Reservoir Dogs.

What else am I missing? So far, it seems like it's just The Crying Game, but I know for a FACT that there are more!

[Fezticle98]

Jurassic Park

[King Hippos Bandaid]

apparently Titanic


I finally gave in about 3 years ago

I boycotted it, because all the chicken head girls I hung out with saw it 8 or 9 times in the theater

[Thebazile78]

Jurassic Park

You can skip the movie and read the book.

The book is MUCH better.

Even Sir Richard Attenborough and CGI dinosaurs couldn't save the film version of Jurassic Park.

apparently Titanic

Oh god.

I fucking HATE Titanic.

The guy I was dating at the time was/is obsessed with shipwrecks.
He'd advance-ordered opening-night tickets and went with one of his classmates who was equally obsessed with the wreck itself to see it.

Thankfully, I was spared the ordeal initially.

Then ... its run was either extended or revived for the Oscars and I was recovering from mono, so I relented. And also figured that seeing a movie called "Titanic" on a 13" TV was kind of silly.

My butt went numb it was so bad.

And, to make it worse, my roommate at the time bought the soundtrack CD ... and left Celine Dion on a continuous loop for days on end because she liked the song so much.

(When I was picking up dinner last night, I heard it on the radio for the first time in almost 10 years and got the shakes.)

Top 1000 U.S. grossing films of all time (http://www.movieweb.com/movies/boxoffice/alltime.php)

I have seen only 3 of the top 10. 5 of the top 20.

[Holes]

Jerry Maguire.

Come to think of it. Not many Tom Cruise movies. Days of Thunder, Mission Impossible series, etc. I have no intention of seeing them.

Haven't seen any Lord of the Rings movies either.

I have seen only 3 of the top 10. 5 of the top 20.

I'd like a text-only list so I can analyze how many I've seen ... it looks like most of them. Which frightens me.

[weekapaugjz]

any of the die hard or lethal weapon movies.

[DolaMight]

Movies everyone's seen

the next will farell movie no matter what it's called.

[Coach_Mac]

Jurassic Park

This is a must see movie for me...but don't even try to watch the sequals.

As for the top 1000 grossing list, that first page is loaded with horrible movies....it's amazing how many stupid people out there pay for that crap.

[Caseyelan]

Scarface.

[Fezticle98]

Scarface.

Does Fez still have ESD's copy?

[Fezticle98]

the next will farell movie no matter what it's called.

Pretty sure not everyone will be seeing that one, especially if the box office from his current movie is any indication.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Dumb and Dumber

[hammersavage]

Pretty sure not everyone will be seeing that one, especially if the box office from his current movie is any indication.

It made $30 million despite an R-rating. He's pretty good bank.

[RhinoinMN]

Its a wonderful Life.

Can't seem to get through the whole thing.

[jonyrotn]

Raging Bull
Terminator
Clockwork Orange
Alien
Home Alone

[ChimneyFish]

The Godfather.

you would be surprised how many people never had. Pretty much 75% of the people i run into haven't

I have both on DVD, but I haven't watched them yet.

I figure I'll take one Saturday, have a few Ativan, and watch them back to back.

[underdog]

I've never watched any of the Spiderman movies.

[jauble]

I've never watched any of the Spiderman movies.

x2 they stink and I dont like them.

Top 1000 U.S. grossing films of all time (http://www.movieweb.com/movies/boxoffice/alltime.php)

I have seen only 3 of the top 10. 5 of the top 20.

all this list tells me is that people hate reading and real life

[Doogie]

House Party and New Jack City...

[PD]

The Big Lebowski
I finally saw that this weekend, which was surprising, since I love Coen Brothers films.

off the top of my head, the only movies I have still avoided are the Freddy Krueger/Friday the 13th movies (and other slasher movies other than the first Halloween)

[Jughead]

They talk about them everyday on the show...I need to get to blockbuster more often:wallbash:

[PD]

looking at that top grossing list, I also never saw
The Passion of the Christ
Shrek 2
Finding Nemo (although I've HEARD it while its on for my kids while they're in my car)
& Transformers

[ladyface]

I've never watched any of the Spiderman movies.

x 3 = me neither, and probably never will.

[sailor]

all the chicken head girls I hung out with

what are you, 12? and living in the ghetto? you're way too old and off-white to talk like that.

(and that dumb and dumber line was just too fat of a softball)

[Sue_Bender]

The Lord of the Rings and Matrix trilogies.

[ANC]

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Dirty Harry
A Streetcar Named Desire
Any of the Lord of the Rings
The Bad News Bears

[ahhdurr]

The Godfather.
Me either.

apparently Titanic

I will never watch this movie.

any of the die hard or lethal weapon movies.
Die Hard 1 and 2 my friend. I'm wondering if they've lost something though.

Raging Bull

Nope.

The Lord of the Rings and Matrix trilogies.
Saw all three LOTR movies - big fan. Huge Matrix fan and then the other two. Meh and less than meh.

I've also never seen a lot of the old classics. I just forced myself to watch Citizen Kane - I did enjoy it and tried to view it with an eye for the cinematography which helped. But never seen Gone w/ the Wind or Casablanca.

[hedges]

I haven't seen any of the Lord of the Ring movies, probably because there was so much hype surrounding them. I get turned off when there is too much hype. But I have read all the books, so I will eventually see the films.
I didn't see any of the Harry Potter movies. And I didn't see Lion King or Little Mermaid.
I did catch some of the Shrek movies which I liked.

[Mullenax]

Oh yeah, Taxi Driver.

[Dan G]

I've never seen a Pixar movie.

[cougarjake13]

never watched any of the godfathers all the way through


scarface

any harry potter movies

[Dirtbag]

I'm another who has never, and will never, see Titanic.

I loved Jurassic Park when I was a kid, and basically did until I finally got around to reading the book. It really is one of the worst hatchet jobs I've encountered.

[fezident]

Citizen Kane
Doctor Zhivago
To Kill A Mockingbird.
12 Angry Men....

The Godfather I, II, III.






For some reason, I never fully commit to watching 'em. But I seriously do WANT to see them. Just.... one of those things......

[GreatAmericanZero]

i never saw "the evil dead" movies


its because i was intimidated by how many versions were out there that I wanted to make sure I saw the right one. I didnt know which to get

Also my friends would always be like "You never saw the Evil Dead movies? I'll let you borrow them"...and then, I was never given them to borrow :(

[disneyspy]

any harry potters,transformers,saw4

[GreatAmericanZero]

any harry potters,transformers,saw4

i havent seen those either

[nassue]

on the waterfront
godfather II
titanic ... of course... why would i ?

[Thebazile78]

off the top of my head, the only movies I have still avoided are the Freddy Krueger/Friday the 13th movies (and other slasher movies other than the first Halloween)

A Nightmare on Elm Stree (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087800/)t, although it has a TON of blood and gore, is actually the best/scariest of the Freddy Krueger movies. The other ones are just violent and gory.

It's probably the best because it was actually written and directed by Wes Craven.

[GreatAmericanZero]

Top 1000 U.S. grossing films of all time (http://www.movieweb.com/movies/boxoffice/alltime.php)

I have seen only 3 of the top 10. 5 of the top 20.

i saw 29 of the top 50. But I lost a lot because I never saw any of the Harry Potters, alot of big movies made recently i never saw (Transformers, Night at the Museum, I am Legend) and the only Star Wars films i've seen is "A New Hope" and "The Phantom Menace". I fell asleep during "Attack of the Clones" in theaters so I don't count that one

Edit: And I only saw the first "Pirates of the Carribean" and "Matrix"

[MobCounty]

Bambi
Pinocchio
Snow White

[Knowledged_one]

My dad hasnt seen shawshank

[MacVittie]

I haven't seen 99% of horror movies.

[ScottFromGA]

Any of those damn Pirates/Johnny Depp movies....

Reservoir Dogs

Any Fast and The Furious sequel...although I'm interested in the 4th one with the original characters.

any of the Godfather movies....they bore me.

Scarface...bores me.

Taxi Driver....although I almost picked it up the other night.

Fargo....always wanted to but never have.

MY question is has anyone remember watching Charles Bronson movies as a kid? Deathwish series was my Dad's Favorite!

[ScottFromGA]

http://www.movieweb.com/movies/film/59/1659/boxoffice/


Wow....I thought this movie did way better than this....its almost at the bottom of the top 1000.....

[Thebazile78]

.....

Fargo....always wanted to but never have....!

I thought that I was one of maybe ... 15 people ... who found Fargo to be the single most uproarious movie I had ever seen.

It's a great introduction to the Coen brothers' brand of sick, dark humor.

I've since seen The Big Lebowski, Barton Fink and Miller's Crossing.

They've all got John Tuturro in them.

And Miller's Crossing has Gabriel Byrne in it. (I have had a crush on Gabriel Byrne since The Usual Suspects.)

[BlackSpider]

Start with number one, then go on numerically from there...


I never saw: E.T.
Shawshank Redemtion
Shreck, or any (cartoony movies)
Good Will Hunting
Shaving Private Ryan
American Grafitti
Schindlers List
Debbie Does Dallas
Polesitters 7 through 9
Casablanca
Chicks who crave cock volume 5
Gone With the Wind
and many, many others...

[GreatAmericanZero]

.

but theres so many editions of dvds that are out there. i know i would want to see an unrated version, but is there an "unrated directors cut"? Is that better? i dont know this shit

[Slumbag]

I've never seen Hoosiers, which is an institution in Indy.
To make matters worse, when I was nineteen, I used to be able to hang at this bar called Plumps. It was owned by Bobby Plump, the dude from the story.
I met the motherfucker. Still haven't seen it.
I've also never seen Top Gun, but I have seen Hot Shots about 150 times.

[GreatAmericanZero]

I've also never seen Top Gun, but I have seen Hot Shots about 150 times.

haha. same here

and that says something about "Hot Shots" that its still funny even without seeing the original movies. Unlike these fucking "Disaster/Date/Epic Movies" which is just "reference movie, move on" horseshit

[jauble]

My dad hasnt seen shawshank

Your dad doesnt have tnt?

[Mullenax]

Slumbag:I've never seen Hoosiers, which is an institution in Indy.

Me Neither, but I have seen Breaking Away 10 times. Plump's Last Shot is still open in Broadripple; it's a bar where you can bring your dogs. Is that the Plump's you mentioned, or am I confused? Apparently if you go to the right bar in South Bend you can meet Rudy, too.

[Slumbag]

Yeah, that's it. Plumps Last Shot.

You can smoke weed there when it's late, too. It was a great little spot for never having been in a bar before.

[Sarge]

I've seen none of the "Rocky" movies, or "Back to the Future", "Titanic", and a bunch more that are super popular.

[jauble]

I had to watch hoosiers so much in school when there would be a substitute. I really dislike that movie.

[hedges]

Say Anything or Better Off Dead ; I saw the Goonies for the first time recently

[Thebazile78]

I had to watch hoosiers so much in school when there would be a substitute. I really dislike that movie.

Every time the choral instructor at my high school was absent, we would watch either Amadeus or Sweeney Todd.

Lots of kids found this irritating.

I didn't mind. But, then again, I have a thing for Tom Hulce. And Sondheim.

[WhoEvenAreYou]

A lot of the ones that have been named
The Godfather
Saving Private Ryan
ET
Good Will Hunting
Titanic - I've only seen bits and pieces (by bits and pieces I mean Kate Winslets tits)
Scarface
I've never watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - not that queer one (GOD DAMN YOU JOHNNy)
I've seen none of the LOTR movies - 3 hours and then some? You're funny, Frodo.

I just watched Reservoir Dogs and Shawshank pretty recently. Good stuff.

[jennysmurf]

Forest Gump. Just never had the desire to see it after everybody and their mother kept quoting it nonstop.

[drusilla]

Also my friends would always be like "You never saw the Evil Dead movies? I'll let you borrow them"...and then, I was never given them to borrow :(

that's because we secretly don't want to part with them for fear they may never return.

i'll never lend mine out. especially the necronomicon version.



i've never seen any of the rambo movies & people can't seem to believe that for some reason

i've never saw top gun until i was in college, & only finally saw roadhouse a few weeks ago


i've never seen casablanca or gone with the wind or raging bull & that i'm slightly embarrassed of

[drusilla]

Say Anything

I've never seen any of the Rambo movies, either. I'm only familiar with them because of Gremlins 2 when Gizmo suits up like Rambo. Oh, and there's this segment in UHF:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zk80c36PKiw&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zk80c36PKiw&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

I didn't see Top Gun until I was in college, either. Now Hot Shots is funnier and I get a lot of the pop-cultural references in other films.

Same goes for Star Wars (didn't see it until college ... people tended to react as if they thought that was some sort of child abuse.)

Skip Gone With the Wind unless you love stories about unredeemable self-centered riches-to-rags-to-riches selfish bitches. (Ugh. Scarlett O'Hara may have been a tough bird, but her petulance and selfishness never change ... Clark Gable and Olivia DeHavilland saved that movie from being a total borefest for me. Also although Hattie McDaniel and Butterfly McQueen play racial stereotype-caricatures, they were insanely talented. Lastly, the woman who plays Aunt Pitty-Pat is one of the more enjoyable character actors of the day.)

Casablanca is another good flick ... between the great leads (Bogart & Bergman) the movie is stuffed with character actors like Peter Lorre and Claude Rains. Play it, Sam.

[Slumbag]

I didn't see Top Gun until I was in college, either. Now Hot Shots is funnier and I get a lot of the pop-cultural references in other films.



I still haven't seen Top Gun, and more than likely never will. I have seen Hot Shots countless times, and I think I get the gist of what Top Gun was about.

[Thebazile78]

I still haven't seen Top Gun, and more than likely never will. I have seen Hot Shots countless times, and I think I get the gist of what Top Gun was about.

But ... it's got Kelly McGillis in it. And she's SO HOT!

And a pre-ER Anthony Edwards.

And Val Kilmer. Who has what is quite possibly one of THE gayest line/action combos ever recorded on film.

You don't see a movie like Top Gun for the plot. You see it for the above reasons.

[drusilla]

Good Will Hunting



i have a thing where i tend to hate these movies that are so critically acclaimed. maybe it comes from not seeing the movie before they hype, but good will hunting was one of them. i found it so incredibly boring. same for magnolia & no country for old men.

[PapaBear]

I've never seen Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Watching it now.

[PapaBear]

I've never seen Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Wow!!!:thumbup:

[ChimneyFish]

I've finally seen 2 movies that "everyone" has seen in the past few weeks.

The Godfather & The Godfather Part II

[Bellyfullasnot]

It makes my wife crazy but I never saw "Gone With The Wind or The Sound Of Music".

[kdubya]

Add me to the list, I have never seen it and my dad is an Italian from Brooklyn.


you would be surprised how many people never had. Pretty much 75% of the people i run into haven't

[Thebazile78]

It makes my wife crazy but I never saw "Gone With The Wind or The Sound Of Music".

Does she want a husband or a gay friend?

Because the only guy I knew growing up who had seen both is gay. He's a fashion designer whose early inspiration came from Jean Paul Gaultier's costumes for Madonna during the Blond Ambition Tour and GWTW.

Of the two, I prefer The Sound of Music ... Maria is a much more compelling character than Scarlett. And it has singing nuns. Who doesn't love singing nuns????

[skyscraper]

I've never seen gone with the wind, no plans to see it either.
I do have to admit having not only seeing The Sound of Music but actually auditioned to be one of the kids when I was in grade school. Didn't make it though. Whew.

[K.C.]

A movie everyone has seen.
