CONFESS!!!! Movies everyone has seen - but you haven't!!
Me, the one movie I've never seen, but everyone else probably has is E.T.

Never saw it as a kid. When I got older I rented the movie once and fell asleep 15 minutes into it. Never bothered to try watching it again.

What movie have you never seen, but it wildly popular with other folks

5. Just about all of them.
I seldom go to the movies. I think that they ran out of ideas years ago. The last movie I wasted money on was the first LOTR. Jackson botched it, imo, and I didn't see either of the sequels. Before that...I don't remember.

11. I don't go to the movies a lot
I haven't seen LOTR or Harry Potter (though that will change today). I usually hate it when a movie is so hyped up--that usually makes me not want to go see it! I did see POTC though =)

23. Titanic
never really wanted to see it after a friend (who is a hopeless romance book fan) told me she saw it 8 times because it was soooo romantic. Kinda ruined it for me. Nothing against romance but it was a movie about the Titanic fer goodness sakes, besides Leonardo creeps me out.

I've only seen the restaurant scene a million times in clips but never seen the movie. Have no desire to really. Billy Crystal kinda bugs me.

36. No "Top Gun," no "Dances with Wolves."
Edited on Fri Jun-04-04 12:33 PM by CBHagman
I've also never seen "E.T." and "Titanic" in their entirety, only portions on television.

I've never seen the LOTR series, either -- again, only scenes on TV or at the CVS. :eyes:

Oh, and NO Quentin Tarantino movies, except for a scene or two here and there, which were enough for me to consider leaving the country.

49. LA Confidential... Has Put Me To Sleep 3 Times Now
I'd like to watch it... but I fall asleep about 1/4 of the way in. Maybe I'm just putting in in the DVD player on the wrong nights... when I'm sleepy already. Or... maybe I've found a substitute for sleeping pills.
