I have never seen any of the BACK TO THE FUTURE movies.
Parts of Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING are actually quite scary.
I have never seen MANOS THE HANDS OF FATE all the way through.

^ I've never seen any of the BACK TO THE FUTURE film's either.
I've never seen any of the INDIANA JONES movies as well.
Or any HARRY POTTER films. Or the LORD OF THE RINGS films.
I saw the first STAR WARS at the theater-only viewing- when it was first released, and have never seen any of the sequels.

I've never seen any BATMAN movie, nor do I want to. It's a guy wearing a bat costume.

I watch an average of about 2 or 3 'new release' movies per year.

THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, imdb's #1 rated movie of all time, is so bad it's good.

Al Pachino is one of the worst actors of all time.

I sneaked in to see PHANTASM when I was around 12.

Boyyyyyy was that a mistake  :wink:  :wink:

I have only seen 2 Slyvester Stallone movies- DEATHRACE 2000 (1975) and FIRST BLOOD (1982).

The first horror movie I ever seen was FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN (1943). It was when I was 4 in 1966. In Wappingers Falls, NY. It's kind of around Poughkeepsie. I saw a kid get his head run over by a station wagon while he was riding his bike in Poughkeepsie. The movie didn't scare me. THAT f**ked me up.

The first film I saw in a theater was PLANET OF THE APES (1968) back in 1968. With my brother Mike and my Aunt Carol.

I don't get people who like THE GODFATHER 2 better than the original. To me, it's decent, but not even close to the first one.

Agreed.

I've only seen bits and pieces of The Warriors (1979)
Never seen The Godfather Part II or III
Never seen GoodFellas (1990)
Never seen The Social Network (2010)
Never watched a movie with Justin Timberlake in it.
I didn't know who Rachel Zegler was until the Snow White drama.
Never understood the appeal of Adam Sandler. I do own The Wedding Singer, but I bought it for the 1980s setting and Drew Barrymore.
I like Jackie Brown (1997) but I think it is one of Tarantino's weakest/most overrated movies next to The Hateful Eight.
Titanic (1997) is an amazing movie, but I still wouldn't rate it higher than 4.5
1970s horror movies feel authentic and real compared to modern horror movies.
Vintage martial art movies have more oomph! The fighting in modern martial art movies is overstylized and lacking impact.
Is it October yet?

RCMerchant

I've only been to a theater twice since at least circa 1999.
I haven't bought a physical film since at least 2015.
I still have a bookcase lined with old big box movies. Yet no VHS player.
I haven't seen a Walt Disney animated film since the 60's. I have NEVER seen a Mickey Mouse cartoon all the way threw at all.

I'd say the fight scenes in modern movies are worse (you can admire the choreography and athleticism of vintage chopsocky better), but the storylines and other elements of modern films tend to be better, in my view. The worst era was in the 80s and 90s with the kickboxing-type movies, when they had neither athleticism nor decent stories.

I've never liked Will Ferrell....
The personality always seemed forced, making him look stiff, & the characters coming across as rather one note...

I just watched ROCKY for the first time tonight... thought it would be a lot cheesier and more macho than it was... quite downbeat actually. very little boxing either... I got slightly bored about 2/3rds in, but overall it was a pleasant surprise.

I can't STAND these actors-

. Steven Segal- He's just so full of s**t.
. Adam Sandler-I didn't even like him on Saturday Night Live. Maybe his whiney voice? Maybe his goofy frat boy persona?
. Jim Belushi-I don't know why. Not a clue. I just don't like his face. His face appears on screen, I turn the channel.

When Seagal made MERCENARY FOR JUSTICE here, one of the actors in it told me that SS needed a stuntman to throw a punch for him 😳😄😆

I have never seen a single one of the ROCKY or FAST AND FURIOUS movies.
And I don't really care to.
