I don't care what you say, I won't watch it...

Fess up. There's a movie out there that everyone on earth has seen that you refuse to watch. You don't care about the raves, you don't care about the life-changing impacts of the film, and you don't care that it has established itself as an icon in pop culture or niche/eclectic scenes. You don't buy into its hype, and you stubbornly refuse to change your mind.

I'll start - Titanic. There, I admitted it. Very liberating.

I'm still a little new here, so if this thread is a repeat, feel free to bring it to my attention and we can move on to another topic...

He was on the show during the "bad" seasons when nobody laughed.

SNL has only been good twice:

1) the early shows with Chase, Curtain, Radner and Belushi
2) recently (but still only barely good now); ▶ Reply to This

Now I do, on the other hand, like a stupid Will Ferrell movie once in a while. My sister and I have a tradition of getting drunk at Applebees then walking across the street to the cinema to see Will Ferrell. He's awesome when you're wasted.; ▶ Reply to This

Scary Movie 3 & 4
Date Movie
Epic Movie
Van Wilder
Dude Where's The Party
Beerfest

I see no point in watching the remake of Psycho, why? Didn't I see the first one?

Also the American version of The Vanishing, City of Angles/Wings of Desire and Solaris (good sci-fi turned romantic vomit). Thanks, seen the first... don't need to see the remake.; ▶ Reply to This
