LivingLegendGaryColeman 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 I just got done watching Memento and I loved it. It was the first time I ever saw it. Thinking about it, I've seen hundreds and hundreds of movies, but there are some big titles I have just never seen. I can tell people stuff about all sorts of movies, but certain "classics" I have never seen. In this week alone, I watched Die Hard, Memento and Se7en all for the first time. I still have on my shelf unwatched movies like Gladiator and Crouching Tiger among others. I've seen tons of movies though (so maybe I just naturally lean toward crappy ones...) but I think there is at least one for everyone. Some big or really popular movie that people are surprised you have never seen. Anyone else care to share? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted May 31, 2004 I still have yet to see Se7en, but I can tell you Crouching Tiger I highly recommend and Gladiator has a great beginning and end, but a midsection that kind of drags. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ted the Poster 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 I just saw Natural Born Killers for the first time. I really liked the movie, but I sincerely hope that I never watch it while high. That could severely fuck with your mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ted the Poster 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 You don't need a machine to make a rainbow... Then I get to quote you like so. Yesterday I saw both Matrix sequels and now I can confidently say that the first movie was fine, but those two abortions called sequels had no right to suck like they did. I also watched The Hills Have Eyes late last night. First horror movie to give me nightmares since Carrie. I forgot to mention Silence of the Lambs in the earlier post, but I saw it a few weeks ago and it was amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 Neither am I, eiker, so I can feel you on that one. I currently own quite a few movies that I'm yet to watch: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Pirates of the Carribean, The Rundown and Out Of Time are all sitting there, unwatched. I've also yet to see T3, but since it's down to $9.99 this week at Circuit City, I'm thinking of picking it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LivingLegendGaryColeman 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 EDIT: Zack do you buy movies you've never seen often? I'm not Zach, but I do the same. I actually looked last night and I own 80 DVDs I have never even seen, not counting any of the VHS I haven't watched either. I do it personally because I may find a really good bargain or hear something good and pick it up and never get around to it. I would guess it would be similar.

Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 I've got TONS of movies I've never seen. If I like the looks of it, or heard something about it that would make me buy it (it doesn't necessarily have to be "good", since I have a love for bad movies) then I'll get it. Then there's also the case of me buying things I have seen, only to never watch them once I get them. I've seen Se7en numerous times, but my DVD copy is still in the wrapping, with the Best Buy price tag on it and everything. The funny thing about that? I bought it the day after Christmas, 2001. My DVD collection is growing rapidly (currently over 330, there are some that aren't listed on DVDAficionado but those are mostly just my few indy wrestling DVD's) and my VHS movie collection is in the thousands, so I've got quite a bit of watching to do before I kick the bucket someday.

Vyce 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 I have to urge everyone to watch Natural Born Killers while drunk or high, because I only watched it once, stone cold sober, and I found the film to quite thoroughly suck huge giant portions of donkey dick. It sucked. Pure and simple. Outside of Tom Sizemore, who's always good, the movie was a 2+ hour waste of my time. But hey - maybe it's something worthwhile once you're, you know, a bit in your cups.

The same is true of all the Harry Potter films. oh yeah, i've never seen any of the Harry Potter movies either, same reason as with the LOTR ones, it's just not my thing. Altough the trailers for the new one look kinda good. I don't intend to watch any of these movies ever too, sure probably in like ten years on TV when i'm bored, but that's it. i hate that whenever i say that i dont like the LOTR movies everyone looks at me like i'm some weird freak of nature or something.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 Just finally saw ROTK and it may have been the most boring film with the most laughable special effects I have seen in a long time. Those blue screen shots were just pathetic looking and the film really needed some better editing. The fights were ok but Orlando Bloom looked like he was just waiting for the check to clear. That may have been the worse winner of Best Picture I have ever seen in my life. I've yet to see Lost in Translation but I hear its outstanding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob a bank or something? My god. I've been collecting movies since I was a kid, and taping wrestling/TV shows just as long. It's everything I've accumulated over the years. Also, come holiday/birthday time, pretty much everyone knows the money is going towards movies, so I get gift cards, etc. towards Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. It also helped that I've had a full time job since I was 13 (I'm 23 now).
