    Pulp Fiction.

    I'm just starting to watch it now.

    So, what films are you almost embarrassed to never have watched?

    War of the buttons. Is it actually worth a watch as an adult?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,152 ✭✭✭26000 Elephants


    I've never seen Dirty Dancing from start to finish. Seemed to see loads of bits of it, just never could tolerate it for long.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,415 ✭✭✭ofcork


    Lord of the rings trilogy sat through 5 mins of one but gave up.

    A number of people in this thread need to be slapped and have someone walk behind them at all times shouting 'shame'

    A number of people in this thread probably already have, but that's going off topic...

    Each to their own but it's a thing of cinematic beauty

    Probably some old classics like Citizen Kane and a handful of others that I can't think of just now but have made a note in my subconscious that I will watch them at some stage.

    And Bourne. . .never watched a Bourne film


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,363 ✭✭✭KingBrian2

    Also most of the big Disney animations - The Lion King, Beauty & The Beast, Cinderella, Snow White, Aladdin etc etc.

    There's quite a few that I haven't seen but the one that always draws gasps from others (well, females anyway) is when I tell them that I am also a female, of the appropriate vintage to remember it when it first came out, and I have never seen Dirty Dancing all the way through.

    I still don't think I've gotten a proper look at the shark from Jaws..... a cushion over my face usually sorted that one out.

    I've seen it unfortunately. I hate this shíte that if you're female you have to love that film. It's such unbelievable schmaltz. And feckin' 'Beaches'. And 'The Notebook'.
