Movies I still haven't seen

[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.

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.

Why would you root for such a huge dbag?

That's what makes the whole thing funny.

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

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

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

[Hector]

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

[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.

Newer films i havent seen for whatever reason but most likely will at some point:
Ironman 2
Watchmen
Bourne series
StarTrek
The Hobbit
Avatar

Have no interest in whatsoever:
Twilight series
Harry Potter series
Any sequel to Transformers (Love the '80s cartoons/toys/comics and think the first film was garbage)

[madmarva]

Anchorman has some classic lines and bits but was uneven to me. The fight and the Afternoon Delight number had me rolling, but other parts just went on too long or didn't hit me as funny, and I didn't care much for the ending. Blades of Glory and Taledaga Nights are stronger efforts by Ferrell, at least to my tastes.

Hector, how can you hate on Grease? Olivia is freakin hot in that movie/musical.

The Transformers flicks all suck arse...especially the sequels...and Anchorman is decent, not Will Ferrell's best, but I liked the silliness of it.

The problem with Transformers is that you can't tell which robot is which when they are fighting, it's all muddled down in a heap of a mess, and LeBeouf is annoying as hell. It's just a loud big budget MTV video. But I saw them, I watch most movies at least once before I pass on judgment, that's how I roll.

One exception, musicals, I hate them with a passion...and just ignore them altogether.

Damn, I've seen a lot of the movies on that IMDB list.

Oldboy (This one has been at the top of my must see list for a while, but for some reason it just never works out.)
The Lord of the Rings movies (just don't care for some reason.)

I haven't looked at the top 250 list for a while, it's interesting to see more foreign movies making it on here.
Three of these movies I had never even heard of before, and from googling them it turns out they're all animated movies based on manga.

Watchmen

Watchmen is AWESOME!!!!!

Watchmen

Must see it!!

Grease is the word!!!! My favorite musical of all time.

The Prestige (2006)

One of my top 5 all time favorite movies. I just watched it twice in the last two weeks. You can't go wrong with Nolen, Bale, Michel Cane, Scarlett J., Hugh Jackman and Bowie as Tesla. All top notch in this movie.
