Movies I still haven't seen

[Hector]

Ferrell's Blades of Glory is hilarious, lol.

But in my humble opinion, his best movie ever is Elf, I already consider that movie a Christmas classic.

[Hector]

I hated Nigh at the Roxbury...but loved Step Brothers, lol.

[toys2cool]

What the.. I guess people either like Will Ferrell or hate him. I think this movie has some really funny, gut busting scenes and quotes. Well D will always have the Dolphins and the Heat. lol

I actually love Will just not in this film or that stupid Ben Stiller modeling movie...loved him in Night at the roxbury and Step brothers

Office Space, a box office bomb.

Crap I watched it yesterday.

This is a film like clerks it's only funny if you work in that type of workspace. when I drove a truck I didn't get it but after a month in the office after my promotion it made total sense
not scene
None of he Daniel Craig bond films
Star trek 2009 (technically I saw the first 40 minutes before I turned it off)
Twilight films or hunger games - but then I'm not really in the demographic
Harry potters saw the first one never cared to see the rest
fast and the furious - none of them
Batman Dark knoght rises

[drquest]

Anchorman gets better the more times you watch it. They are working on an Anchorman 2 I believe....

[Zemo]

Why would you root for such a huge dbag?

That's what makes the whole thing funny.

[spacecaps]

Ahhhh, never mind I just watched that clip and I've seen all I need to see. I just don't see the appeal to this character at all. He's such a huge jerk. A friend of mine recommended the tv show East Bound and Down. Raved about it until I broke down and watched it. THe two characters are very similar. Why would you root for such a huge dbag? I always liked Ferrell when he's in a movie but not the star of if like in Zoolander or Old School.

[spacecaps]

The ones that stick out for me is Dirty Dancing and Footloose. I just never saw either one even though I've been exposed to so much montage and parodies of the films I'm pretty sure I'll never have to.

Interesting discussion about Anchorman too. I think maybe I have to give that a second watch because of all the lines I hear from it but I remember seeing it in the theater and thinking I just wasted my money on a crappy movie. Today someone asked me if I was going to see Hangover 3 this weekend and I thought they were asking me ironically but they were serious. Humor is so subjective.

[Byrnes]

Just for fun, here's IMDB's top 250 based on user votes. I know its not the end all of lists but I would say the majority of these are terrific movies.

The formula for calculating the Top Rated 250 Titles gives a true Bayesian estimate:

weighted rating (WR) = (v ÷ (v+m)) × R + (m ÷ (v+m)) × C where:

•R = average for the movie (mean) = (Rating)
•v = number of votes for the movie = (votes)
•m = minimum votes required to be listed in the Top 250 (currently 25000)
•C = the mean vote across the whole report (currently 7.1)

for the Top 250, only votes from regular voters are considered.

That movie sucks big time

What the.. I guess people either like Will Ferrell or hate him. I think this movie has some really funny, gut busting scenes and quotes. Well D will always have the Dolphins and the Heat. lol

[Donkey Hoatie]

I don't think I'm breaking any ground with my selections, but here's a list I've never seen (and probably never will)

It's a Wonderful Life
Goodfellas
Reservoir Dogs
Any of the Fast and Furious (and, I don't think I've ever seen a Vin Diesel movie of any kind)
Transformers 2 & 3 (and I wish I could un-see the first one, what a turdfest)
Logan's Run (there, I said it)
Any James Bond Movies beyond Casino Royale
The last 2 Matrix movies
Anything beyond the first Pirates of the Caribbean

[madmarva]

Dang, I watch too many movies. I've seen just about everything listed other than the Transformers the sequels and Fast and Furious 2-4 and the last Pirates flick.

But I love all kinds of films. Probably don't discriminate enough.

Heck, two of my best dates in high school followed theater viewings of Top Gun, so even that film had redeeming qualities back in the day

[RickD]

Never seen:

Harry potter movies- No interest in seeing them
Walk the Line (Phoenix and Reese Ritherspoon)- For some reason I always get slack for this one
John Carter

[Godzilla]

I've never see the Burton Batman. I saw the second one, but not the first.
