I've never watched any of the Harry Potter movies.
Never seen Iron Man 1 + 2
Never seen any of the "Bourne" movies.
Haven't seen any Bond movies since A View to a Kill.
Never seen any Ice Age movies even though I enjoy animated films.
Never seen any Ocean 11 movies.
Never seen any Witchcraft movies (there are 13!)

I also have not seen any of the Iron Man movies.

I also haven't seen any Hulk movies, but I don't know if that's considered a franchise.

I know a board like this will probably throw eggs and tomatoes, but I've never seen a Highlander movie, at least not all the way through. Don't ask me why. I just have never seen more than bits and pieces of any of them.

I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org

I've probably seen a bit less than 3 of the Potter movies.  I tend to catch 10 minutes here and there while they're showing on TV, and over a period of several years I might accumulate an entire viewing in there someplace.

Never seen the Iron Man movies, Bourne, Ice Age, Oceans, Toy Story, Twilight, X-Men, Narnia, Rush Hour,  Saw, American Pie, and a handful of others.

* Never seen any HARRY POTTER movies.  Just not interested.
* Never seen any TWILIGHT movies.  No thanks!
* Never seen any of the SHREK's (but I probably will eventually).
* Never seen any of the TOY STORY movies.  I am ashamed of this and hopefully will get around to seeing them all soon.

I don't think I've seen any of the FRIDAY THE 13th movies all the way through.  I've caught bits and pieces.  

Never saw any of the MATRIX movies, or the SPIDER-MAN movies, or PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, or TWILIGHT, or X-MEN, or SCREAM, or SAW, or TRANSFORMERS, or IRON MAN, or MEET THE PARENTS, or CHRONICLES OF NARNIA, or THE BOURNE IDENTITY, or RUSH HOUR, or the new MUMMY, or SCARY MOVIE, or AMERICAN PIE, or TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, or PREDATOR, or JACKASS, or FINAL DESTINATION, or BLADE, or RESIDENT EVIL, or something called UNDERWORLD, or POKEMON, or THE AMYITYVILLE HORROR, or THE TRANSPORTER, or any ERNEST movie except a few minutes on TV, or HOUSE PARTY, or DEATH WISH, or HIGHLANDER, or MISSING IN ACTION, or IRON EAGLE, or WITCHCRAFT.

THE MATRIX is the only one of those I'm even interested in seeing a film from... generally, if something's popular enough to be franchised, it's not going to be something that appeals to me very much.  

The only franchises I've seen every installment of are STAR WARS and THE LORD OF THE RINGS.

Saw
Twilight (aside from bits and pieces they were playing on a TV at Wal-Mart--man it looked like it sucked royally)
Hostel
The Bourne films (although I may catch those at some point)
Scary Movie
Jackass
Final Destination (although I might check those out in time)

I tend to give most stuff though at least one chance, one look...

I watched the first Harry Potter movie, that was enough.  :lookingup:

I haven't seen the Ice Age movies.  Not really interested in anything that Ray Romano is a part of.

Haven't seen the Saw movies either.  Probably will at some stage, it's just not a priority right now.

Change the fates' design
Save what has been lost

For shame, Rev. Don't be afeared of the mainstream.

But let me pare down your list of what to watch.

The Matrix - Just the first one. A game-changer, if there ever was one.

Spider-Man 2 - Best superhero movie I've seen yet.

Pirates of the Caribbean - Also, just the first one. Pure entertainment.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Again, just the first one. You haven't seen this? What are you, some sort of philistine?

Predator - I can not say enough good things about Predator.

Jackass - Well, you don't need to watch this, but is very funny.

Final Destination 2 - Accident porn pure and true. Very entertaining and ridiculous.

Blade II - A monster movie by a guy who loves monsters. Guillermo del Toro is a very talented director who truly understands the genre.

Stuff not to watch!

The Amityville Horror - I have seen every single one of these movies and they are all garbage. Garbage!

Stuff in Limbo!

The Ernest Movies - What can I say? I was born in 1978, I'm not immune to Jim Varney.
Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. It gets up and kills. The people it kills, get up and kill.
