Selected Movies I Haven't Seen: A Thread by Bloomfield

Fight Club
Dazed & Confused
Ray
Seven Samurai

I haven’t seen any of those either.

We don’t get out enough, you and I. (And you never call me.)

I haven’t seen Cars, Nacho Libre, or the Lake House. Don’t miss them if you can.

I regret that I haven’t not seen The Da Vinci Code.

:wink:

I have to add (since I haven’t yet,) that I haven’t not seen that as well.
It is true, however, that I haven’t seen any of Bloo’s selections.

But I do occasionally get out. Though I haven’t had to call Bloomfield, so I haven’t.
Once however, the entire extended Clement family (including in-laws such as myself,) got a movie theme stuck in our collective head. It went like this: DAdaLAdaDAAAA…duhDUHDaaaaaa! DAdaLAdaDAAAA…duhDUHdaaaaa…(etc,) and to prevent further Clement insanity, I had to call my brother in Charlottesville and hum it to him. It was, of course, the theme from The Magnificent Seven, which was, of course, based on The Seven Samurai.
For his trouble, my brother insisted that I listen to his Eli Wallach impersonation.

(can I say this stuff in a thread by Bloomfield?)

Too late to worry about that now.


Further selected movies I haven’t seen:

Godzilla v. Smog Monster
Grizzly Man
Killer Clowns From Outer Space
The Sixth Sense

I fold. I’ve seen the Sixth Sense.

Fight Club was good, but make sure not to read the book first. This is not to preserve the twist ending, as one might suppose, but rather to allow a person to enjoy the movie without constantly thinking how much better the book is.

Ray was fine, but I didn’t get as worked up about it as some people. I did like it better than Walk the Line.

Tell me I’m not the only one who knew what the “surprise” was right from the beginning, because no one I’ve talked to seems to have figured it out.

You’re not the only one. It was one of my children. I, however, guessed the “surprise” at the end of The Village without ever having seen the movie, and ruined it for my kid who was getting ready to go with friends.

Fight Club: Great
Dazed: Pretty good
Ray: Very good, if slightly overrated.
7Sam: Wait for the Broadway Musical version.

I tried to talk a girl into telling me the surprise, once (I like knowing about these things before I see the movie), but she wouldn’t. I think I’ll just have to go look it up, since I’m sure I’ll never bother to watch it.

2 wildly popular movies I’ve never seen:

The Sting
and
yes
Titanic

Hint: I had read a novel called Running Out of Time to lead a middle school “book talk” and the movie, whether Shmyalan admits/knows it or not, was kind of ripped from that book.

What’s kind of fun is to watch The Sting now, years after it was made. Still a good story, but the cinematography is surprisingly primitive.

I haven’t seen Killer Klowns. My plan is to not see it again and again, not gaining new insights each time I don’t see it.

Sigh. I’ve always deprecated American anti-intellectuallism.

Gee, I’ve only heard of a few of these movies. I did see The Sting with my mom years ago—sadly, neither one of us could figure out what the heck was going on. I thought Walk the Line was really quite good. I’ve heard of Titanic and Ray (I’m thinking that’s the one about Ray Charles, which I thought sounded good). What I heard about Titanic sounded pretty goofy to me----why not just watch the old one? Seven Samurai—for some reason I was thinking that it was The Seventh Samurai or maybe I’m thinking of some movie by Bergman :laughing: I don’t know.

I think it’s pretty safe to assume that almost any movie is one I haven’t seen. I can’t even remember the titles of the ones I have seen.

Fight Club- I suprised myself by liking it
Dazed &Confused- not really-
Ray- good movie- worth watching just for the amazing acting by Fox

I’ve seen Sixth Sense- an ok watch- not too hard to figure out

I did not care for the Sting, but did my durndest to learn the Scott Joplin music on piano. Wasn’t it Maple Street Rag? Wasn’t that in the Sting? I could be confused here and it wouldn’t be the first time.

I wanted to see The DaVinci Code since I liked the book, but didn’t make it. Actually I only go to the theatre maybe once a year if that.

Not only did I not work out the twist at the end before it was revealed, but I watched the Sixth Sense a second time recently and had forgotten the twist at the end and got the same shock again! :boggle: :boggle:

I may be justifiably considered by some to be a bit thick. :blush:
