I haven’t seen a lot of the movies listed above, but as for recent ones I haven’t seen either **Harry Potter** movie at all. And we’ve even got the dvd for the first one back at home. ---

When my daughter was born 11 years ago I started missing movies. So although I am quite a movie lover, and tho we acquired a VCR player a few years later, I am only slowly catching up. I wonder if other parents have the same experience. In the years before, I would have had to have been dragged kicking & screaming to either “Top Gun” or “Rambo”. Never seen em; never will. ---

Sounds like a bunch of you folks belong in the “I don’t like movies” thread. There are too many good ones that you’ve missed! Now I want you to go to Blockbuster and get all of the movies you listed here and WATCH THEM. You will then be re-admitted to Reality and can discuss them with your friends and family. ---

I _own_ on DVD but have never watched: **Harry Potter and the \*\* insert country-specific adjective** Stone Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones Spider-Man\*\* and probably a couple of other things I can’t think of, since I’m at work now. The list of major movies I haven’t seen but don’t actually own is much longer, starting with **Titanic** , **Gone With the Wind** , **Forrest Gump** , all of the **Jurassic Park** s, **The Sixth Sense** and goes on to include most of the things “everyone” has seen. I don’t watch a lot of movies, I guess – saw only three or four in 2002. On preview, I see **well he’s back** ’s comment, and have to agree. I didn’t see _lots_ of mass-market movies before I had kids, but I certainly see even fewer of them now. (Though, if you want to know about Thomas the Tank Engine, I’m your go-to guy.) ---

I have no seen: Any movie by Kubric (A.I. counts, cause I haven’t seen it either.) Any movie by Coppola (That includes his daughter) Any horror movie series (Friday the 13th, Halloween, or Nightmare) Any of the ‘classic’ movies from the 30’s-50’ s (Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, anything with Bogart or Monroe) Neither of the Harry Potters (and don’t plan to see them, either.) Any Woody Allen movie Any 70’s or 80’s dance movie (Footloose, Flashdance, Saturday Night Fever, etc…) Any ‘classic’ Christmas movie (Miracle, Wonderful Life, etc…) ET Schindler’s List (we started to watch it in history class, but I fell asleep pretty soon into it.) Most 80’s teen movies (Fast Times, etc…) Most 50’s-70’s war movies (Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Bridge over River Kwai, etc…) Yeah Yeah, I know, I’m an uncultered swine. But I HAVE seen all of the Star Wars and Star Trek movies, both Lord of the Rings, Fight Club, all but the last Rocky, both Terminators, Forest Gump, Titanic (unfortunatly,) and Moulin Rouge (SUPER unfortunatly.) ---

I _almost_ saw “Gone With The Wind,” but those idiot TV folks put it on opposite the Superbowl. I’ve never seen any of the _Godfather_ films, and it seems I’m not at all alone. Never saw _Fight Club_ even though some friends tried to make me. _Old Yeller._ ---

I’ve never seen any of the “Brat Pack” movies (Sixteen Candles, Pretty In Pink, Breakfast Club, et al.) in its entirety. I’ve also never seen _any_ of Ferris Beuller’s Day off. Considering I’m a 33-year old male from the U.S., I think I may be something of an oddity…these movies defined my generation (we may be on to something here). At this point, I could mosey on down to Blockbuster any old day of the week and have an 80s retrothon, but it’s become a point of pride that I haven’t seen these flicks. ---

Gone with the Wind I am making an attempt to see all of IMDb’s top 250 films and I was horrified to see it on there. I am kind of proud that I have never seen it! When I have seen the other 249, I’ll watch it! Others: It’s a Wonderful Life (I actually want to see this one!) Aliens The Shining ---
