Bayfox - I only saw Shawshank last year for the first time, it really is brilliant, give it a go

I don't think I've seen a Star Wars in its entirety. Same goes for most sci fi or fantasy films, not interested. A lot of films I "should have seen" I probably haven't

I thought Jurassic Park was pretty crap & I've never bothered with the sequels. The same goes for Raiders of the Lost Ark. They were both 'ok'........ but there's no need to piss your pants.

Refuse to watch Harry Potter & I've only seen the first Lord of the Rings.

Apparently, I need to see A Clockwork Orange.......& I don't know why I haven't already?

The Godfather. It was on the TV not long back but I fell asleep near the start of the film (because I was knackered, not because it was boring).

I've seen hardly any sci-fi ,super hero, sword and scorcery , fantasy, biblical epic type films , they just don't appeal to me , and I'm not likely to bother with them much now .

"Gone with the wind" is a film i really ought to watch, but it's a bit long for my liking .

EVERYONE should see JFK ( director's cut} , 12 Angry Men and Life of Brian ( there ought to be a law about this) :)

I saw it for the first time recently and I really enjoyed it. It's on Sky movies all the while if you've got that.

As for me:

Reservoir Dogs (can never find it on TV)

Fight Club

Schindler's List (on my planner now)

Forrest Gump (also on planner)

The Longest Day

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Full Metal Jacket

2001: A Space Odyseey

Snatch

Downfall

Inglorious Basterds

The Sixth Sense

Coll Hand Luke

The Thing

Trainspotting

Star Wars (I can't say I'm overly interested but I have to see them just because they're so famous. Shockingly I've seen all 3 of the new ones, but not the old)

ET (was terrified of him when I was younger, but that's not why I'm putting it off now :ph34r: )

The first third of Casino

I'm jealous of you that you still have all those to watch. Some fantastic stuff in that batch.

I saw Flesh Gordon 2 at the Curzon cinema in Loughborough 23 years ago and STILL haven't got round to watching the original Flesh Gordon.

It's no wonder I've got a to-do list as long as a baby's arm

Too much snobbism in this thread.

If you haven't watched a film then you can't say it's no good probably better just to STFU.

I've seen every one of those sci-fi/fantasy films ridiculed above and I enjoyed every one of them.

Shawshank is a genuine must watch. Probably my favourite film ever. Jurassic Park is a fantastic kids movie but has obviously aged.

I haven't seen Pulp Fiction.

I didn't mean to imply that those genres of film are rubbish, just that they don't appeal to me personally :thumbup:

Because you might like some of them if you gave them a try? To lump ALL fantasy/sci-fi as being the same is the same as saying all songs/tunes in certain genres of music are rubbish. This is clearly not true for either medium. Let's see...

The Forbidden Planet is Shakespeare (and an awesome film)

Alien is a horror movie with a more believeable premise than most in the horror genre.

Aliens is a war movie with an immensese sense of impending doom throughout.

Serenity is a clever blend of cowboy movie and piracy swashbuckling, with a great sense of humour. (As is its predecessor TV series Firefly.)

Blade Runner is a detective film noir.

Silent Running is a ecological morality tale.

To say you wouldn't watch any Sci-fi/fantasy is to deny yourself some of the finest examples of other genres. Never judge a book by its cover, or films and music by their genres. It's just plain dumb to make sweeping generalisations and smacks of -ism.
