I’ve started making a list of films I’ve never seen. Some I have purposely avoided, others I just haven’t got around to seeing yet.
Films I’ve managed to avoid (and don’t intend to watch)
- Grease
- Saturday Night Fever
- Gone with the Wind
- Harry Potter (all)
Films I suppose I should have seen (but have no real urge to watch)
- The Godfather (all parts)
- Rocky (all)
- Texas Chainsaw Massacre
- The Exorcist
- 2nd/3rd Lord of the Rings films – I did see the first one, and it is the one and only time I have fallen asleep in the cinema.
Children’s Films
Growing up, I’ve managed to miss the following:
With the exception of Jungle Book (the first film I saw at the cinema), I’ve managed to avoid most of the Disney animated films – note that I do not consider the excellent Pixar films to be Disney; they just happen to own Pixar Studios.
Films I have seen (but wish I hadn’t)
- The Blair Witch Project – What all the hype was about I’ll never know – I just wanted to punch the main character.
- Chitty Chitty Bang Bang – I had recurring nightmares as a child which I only realised was down to the Childcatcher character when I saw the film again years later.
