2) One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
3)Star Wars: Episodes 1-3

Transformers
Fitzcarraldo
2 Girls, 1 Cup

This is a tough one. Lemme see here...

1) The movie you are proud to say you've never seen? Any of the Scary Movie, Date Movie, Epic Movie franchise
2) The movie you are embarrassed to say you've never seen? Citizen Kane (I tried, I really did. But I, uh, hated it from the start)
3) The movie you've seen but desperately wish you could undo? Pirates 3. It was just awful

1) Titanic
2) Schindler's List
3) The Hunted--I still can't believe that I allowed three people to drag me to that. Wild horses shouldn't have been able to drag anyone to that.

1. Titanic *High-fives Slim*

2. Casablanca

3. Patch Motherfucking Adams (Urge to kill... Rising...)

1) The Lord of the Rings... any and all
2) Halloween
3) Catwoman (sigh...)

1) Passion of the Christ- Why anyone saw this is way beyond me.
2) Schindler's List- Is not having seen it worse than making out during it?
3) City of Angels- I'd rather Oedipus my eyes before reliving another frame of it.

Oh, lordy, if I find out one more thing that Slim and I have in common, I'll...

I'll...

Hurry, TK, lemme borrow your gun.

And, no, I don't know why I answered in bold.

1) I've never seen Passion of the Christ and I hope to God I never will. Just the previews offended my athiest ass.

2) I'm embarassed to admit that I haven't seen most of the movies Pajibans liked this year (re: There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men etc), because I'm a cheapskate and I wait until they comes out as rentals.

3) Wolf Creek. I was decieved, my "friend" described it as a "thriller", I say "fuck you man", thrillers don't give me nightmares for three weeks straight.

1. Dirty Dancing.

2. The Godfather I and II.

3. Pirates of the Caribbean 2. Wasn't the first one fun? Did I make that up? I thought the first one was fun.

Diving Bell and the Butterfly
August Rush -(despite Dustan's love gushery over it)
Gigli - everyone kept telling me how bad it was, but I just HAD to see for myself.

Proud: Titanic
Embarassed: Taxi Driver
Sorry: Romance with a Double Bass

1) I've never seen Passion of the Christ and I hope to God I never will. Just the previews offended my athiest ass.

2) I'm embarassed to admit that I haven't seen most of the movies Pajibans liked this year (re: There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men etc), because I'm a cheapskate and I wait until they comes out as rentals.

3) Wolf Creek. I was decieved, my "friend" described it as a "thriller", I say "fuck you man", thrillers don't give me nightmares for three weeks straight.

1. Any movie starring Martin Lawrence
2. The Godfather
3. The DaVinci Code

1. Sleepless in Seattle
2. The Godfather
3. Visitor Q

1) Passion of the Christ
2) Big Trouble in Little China and Terminator 2. I know. I suck.
3) Date Movie... I cried like a rape victim. Because I WAS a rape victim of epic movie-suck proportions. Happiness was really god damn painful too.

1. Titanic. Or maybe I'm thinking of The Hunt for Red October...
2. Embarrassed? I don't know that I would be embarrassed to not see a movie. Hmm.
3. Saw 4. My husband's pick on Saturday. Damn him. There are others I would love to unsee, but this is the latest.

1. Star Wars (nope, not a single one)
2. No Country for Old Men (I'm working on it!!)
3. Black Knight. Seriously bad.

And kelsy, I wouldn't worry about not seeing A Beautiful Mind. I saw it when it came out and thought it was good, and then caught it on tv a week or so ago and could hardly sit through it. Maybe I'm getting cynical in my old age but it was just trying too damn hard. Ick.

oops put that it the wrong order.

I am proud to never have seen August Rush
I am embarrased over never having seen The Diving Jar and the Butterfly
and I am sorry that I saw Gigli.

There...it's been a day.

Kolby at February 27, 2008 2:08 PM

hahahahahahahah

*wink* you'll get used to it.

1) The movie you are proud to say you've never seen? Wild Hogs, Ghost Rider...anything of late that looks like shit and makes my soul vomit all over my shoes.

2) The movie you are embarrassed to say you've never seen? Both Lawrence of Arabia and Dr. Strangelove. And I really really want to watch them both, I swear.

3) The movie you've seen but desperately wish you could undo? I Spit on Your Grave. It takes a lot to disturb me, and yep, 50 minutes of brutal gang rape will do it.

1. Spice World
2. Pulp Fiction
3. The Family Stone

1.) CRASH
2.) THE GODFATHER
3.) EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS

1) The movie you are proud to say you've never seen? (Dances With Wolves)
2) The movie you are embarrassed to say you've never seen? (It used to be Gone With the Wind, but I finally saw it and liked it.)
3) The movie you've seen but desperately wish you could undo? (StarWars Episode 1)

Quick story: When StarWars Episode 1 came out, the computer company I work for was so terrified that we'd all call in sick the first day and go to the movie, that they actually bought us tickets and scheduled us to go to different shows during work hours, just to make sure they had a scheduled crew working.

Easy Rider, Raging Bull

Oh man Twig...me too, never seen em.

:cringes:

Wow, I'm pretty surprised to see how many other people haven't seen The Godfather. I guess I feel a little bit better about myself. I was prepared to become a Pariah.

1. Rocky V

2. Goodfellas...never seen it and I'm always ashamed to admit that.

3. Boat Trip...it was a Sunday afternoon, I was bored (so the story goes).

1. Any Eddie Murphy comedy after 1990
2. Citizen Kane. I've even rented the goddamn thing and have had it sitting in my house for weeks on end. Still . . . no interest.
3. Pay it Forward or Pirates 2 & 3

Proud to say I've never seen: Napoleon Dynamite. And I never will.

Embarrassed that I've never seen (God, there are so many, but I'll go with): The Conversation.

Wish I could erase from my consciousness forever: Magnolia. I loved Boogie Nights and had high hopes. And sheeeesh, what a waste of talent.

Proud: Donnie Darko/Napoleon Dynamite

Embarrassed: Kind Hearts and Coronets

Sorry: Crash (Cronenberg's, that is. So....boring, really)

1) Any torture porn. At all. Ever.

2) Amélie. (I'm a Francophile currently enrolled in a French film course. I've just never seen this one!)

3) From Justin to Kelly (Oh god. Even at fourteen I knew it was absolute shit. It was the first movie I considered walking out on.)

1. Anything featuring the "talent" of Larry the Cable Guy

2. 95% of what's sitting in my Netflix Queue (especially "Sunset Boulevard"...how have I missed that one for so long?)

3. Anything featuring the "talent" of Hilary Duff. The things a mother does for her children....

Julie, don't feel too bad; I've tried multiple times to stay awake through both Laurence of Arabia and Dr. Strangelove, and I just can't do it.

1. Beaches.
2. Any Hitchcock film. My parents weren't really "movie people" and I'm trying to catch up on my classics.
3. The Cell. I was too young and couldn't make it through the movie. Honorable mention to Crash.

Proud: Any and all torture-porn movies
Embarassed: Goodfellas. I don't really like gangster movies (exceptions: Godfather I and II, Sopranos)
Undo: Titanic (in the theater, no less). I never spent more time wishing a boat would sink.

1. I also haven't seen any of the Scary Movie, Epic Movie, Date Movie business.
2. Casablanca
3. It is a tie between Titanic and Passion of the Christ.

Oh, Wednesday, how I envy you your first viewing of Sunset Boulevard! I love that movie so fucking much. It's just so...sick...

1.TLOTRs trilogy
2. Shawshank Redemption
3.The Color of Night

1) High School Musical.

2) Casablanca. I also have not seen Godfather, but I'm not really interested?

3) Cabin Fever. (shivers)

Proud never to have seen: Passion of the Christ/Apocalypto
Embarassed I've never seen: Any Hitchcock movies (I've seen clips, but never an entire movie.)
Wish I could undo: Ultraviolet

1. Knocked Up. I'm 35 years old and I know which movies will irritate the shit out of me by now.

2. The French Connection

3. Vanilla Sky

Jerce- You're not missing too too much with the Conversation. See Antonioni's Blow Up before worrying about the Conversation---it's very meh in this day and age (IMO).

1. Proud to say I've never seen: The English Patient
2. Embarrassed to say I've never seen: Forrest Gump (I've seen parts, but never the whole thing)
3. Wish I could undo: Hope Floats.

1)Spiderman 2&3
2)Goodfellas
3)Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle

1) The Shrek movies
2) No Country for Old Men
3) Failure to Launch

1)Lord of the Rings trilogy.
2)The Godfather
3)The Number 23, although it was against my will. The friends I was with wanted to see it; that is why I avoid going to the movies with them now, they have awful taste.

1. Passion of the Christ, definitely. Sounds like iron age torture porn.
2. The Godfather. Several of my girlfriends have never seen it all the way through either; we're going to have a movie night to rectify the oversight.
3. Tough call, but I'd have to say 'Scary Movie'.

Let me just add that, I've avoided EVERYTHING Costner has shat since No Way Out.

Proud to have never seen: Any movie by Larry the Cable Guy

Embarrassed to have never seen: ET

Sorry to have seen: The Covenant (I couldn't remember the name of it so I googled "witch movie with Abercrombie and Fitch Models and found it. It's a pretty accurate description.)

1. Smiley Face - My friend tried to make me watch this and I absolutely refused. After watching the trailer on youtube, I felt like i'd lost soo many brain cells. And I have to say FUCK YOU Adam Brody for being in this piece of shit movie!!! Talent wasted.....

2. Requiem For A Dream - Never gotten around to it

3. Norbit - Oh I wish I could get those hours back of my life! I'm sure I could do something more productive with that time like getting a lobodamy.

How can you be bored by Dr. Strangelove??

Take some acid and pretend it's in color.

Proud: Titanic
Embarrassed: Goodfellas
Wish I could undo: first LOTR movie and Star Wars ep. 1. Those two movies just about ruined some favorite places in my imagination.

1. Million Dollar Baby and The English Patient.
2. Slither and any episode of Firefly, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, or Battlestar Galactica
3. X-Men III: The Last Stand. Maybe if we all agree to collectively ignore this movie, like they did with Halloween III: The Season of the Witch, they'll just move on with the series like nothing ever happened. Also, Pathfinder. I never wanted to make my brain hork up a cinematic experience like a whale burping up a license plate more in my life.

1. Terminator 3. I loved the first two and new this would suck and ruin the series for me.

2. Traffic. I always wanted to see it but never have.

3. The animal. Worst fucking movie ever, fuck you ex-girlfriend!

1. Titanic (yep, count me in)
2. Wizard of Oz and Sound of Music (hey now, I grew up in Communist Poland!)
3. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

1) Napoleon Dynamite and The Heartbreak Kid (though the latter might be thrust upon me by my loving other half soon enough.)
2) Goodfellas. I know, I know, I'll get with the program.
3) As of late, Juno. It raped my ears and my soul, and didn't have the decency to offer me a lollipop or a ride to the park afterwards.

1. Alvin and the Chipmunks (I almost got dragged to that by my little cousin and her parents, really there are way too many to list here, practically every other movie that comes out should be here

2. 2001 Space Odessey, Blade Runner (how am I a sci-fi fan without seeing those two?)

3. Hostel 2 (I don't know what possessed my friend and I to see this and Saw 4 for that matter, to make things worse we had a guy in the audience that was cheering for the women to get killed, it was freaky, I felt sorry for the guy's girlfriend whom I wanted to rescue but feared for my own life)

1. 27 dresses. I guiltily love romcoms, but hate the Heigl
2. Doctor Zhivago
3. Good Luck Chuck. I hate myself for it.

1. Any of the new parody movies (Epic Movie, Date Movie, Scary Movie 1-7, etc. etc. etc.)

2. The Graduate

3. There could be tons on this list but I'll take the easy road and say the third LOTR movie just because it was so interminably long. And sucky.

proud: shrek movies
embarrassed: schindler's list and saving private ryan
undo: AI, with Vanilla Sky coming in close second. man that was a rough year.

1) Passion of the Christ. i'm just not interested... probably because i was raised catholic.
2) The Godfather. i've seen parts of it, but i've never seen it all. Anything Hitchcock. Most "classic" movies in general, actually. need to get my ass in gear.
3) Titanic. and BOTH versions of Vanilla Sky. god, i hated that movie in Spanish ALMOST as much as i hated it in English. what a godawful stupid goddamn movie.

Oh, brenia - The Covenant. I had forgotten about that movie. Or, maybe I blocked it out. So, so, so bad. Although, I must admit, those boys were very pretty. MMMM...Tim Riggins.

1) Proud to say I've never seen: Any of the Saw or Hostel movies, Turistas, Wolf Creek, The Hills Have Eyes (1&2), Captivity

2) Embarrassed that I've never seen: Casablanca

3) Wish I could undo: Xanadu

Passion of Christ. Watch the "full-length" version every Easter from 1st-8th grade. I see no reason to see Gibson's twisted version.

Boondock Saints. :(

Spiderman III. Toby Maguire + eyeliner + doing the Elaine Bennet does not a good movie make.

The one song in Xanadu by The Tubes is kinda catchy.

But I like ELO.

1) The movie you are proud to say you've never seen? (I'd like to think I'm a movie snob and only see good movies...hahaha)...but I did miss out on the craptastic Battlefield Earth.

2) The movie you are embarrassed to say you've never seen? The Third Man...I always forget this one when renting movies. Huge CKane fan, so you'd think I'd seen this one.

3) The movie you've seen but desperately wish you could undo? Requiem for a Dream. I'm a sucker for depressing movies but dear god. That ending...must erase from my brain. That or the 2001 movies...other than Full Metal and The Shining, I am just not a fan of the Kubrick.

Boondock Saints. :(

Draya!! Watch it, it's AWESOME.

1. Titanic
2. The Monty Python Movies--which apparently I quote frequently.
3. The Wedding Planner (even if I was sick and drugged, there's no excuse)

Proud: Transformers (Piss all over someone else's childhood heroes, Bay)

Embarrassed: Ran (I love samurai movies)

Sorry: Highlander 2 (Actually, I'm pretty much devastated that H2 even exists)

Am I the only one who thought Boondock Saints was terrible?

Proud: Lord of The Rings. I used to live next to a hotel that constantly had those ren.fairs and sci-cons. Having to dodge wizards, sprites,and wenches crossing the road in droves pretty much scared me away from all of that.
Embarrassed: The Big Labowski. Never been able to sit through it. When people start talking about it at parties, I've learned that just using the word 'dude' copiously saves your ass.
Sorry: 27 Dresses. Moments I can never get back.

1) The Passion of the Christ - I grew up in South Georgia and have seen my fair share of passion plays, thankyouverymuch.
2) The Godfather - I always wanted to sit down and watch the entire trilogy at the same time, but it never happened. Somehow, I did watch the entire Highlander series in one. sitting...priorities are a funny thing.
3) The Dukes of Hazzard - this movie raped the rusted soul of the General Lee.

I enjoyed Titanic. I actually really enjoyed Titanic. Did I think it deserved best picture? No. Do I hate that it created the unstoppable Celine Dion beast? Sometimes.

But I still have part of the soundtrack in my iTunes, and I listen to it! And you know what? I would watch the movie again! And maybe again! With popcorn! And milkduds!

And you know what else?! I'll never let go either, Jack! I'm going to go on and make a lot of babies now...!

1) I come from the school of thought that you really shouldn't take pride in not having seen a film. You should see it and judge for yourself. Also, given my love for great films AND certain bad movies, it's difficult to answer this.

That said, I suppose I'll echo the sentiment above that offers your pick of Date Movie, Not Another Teen Movie, Meet The Spartans, etc. I don't have to see those to know that that pop culture cannibalization bullshit is a blight on our culture.

2) Innumerable possible answers to this: 8 1/2, The Seven Samurai (although I've seen many other Kurosawa films), Sunset Boulevard, Rebecca, Cinema Paradiso, and the granddaddy embarrassment of them all: 2001: A Space Odyssey, even though I'm a huge sci-fi nerd and have seen almost everything else Kubrick. O.k., I have basically seen all of 2001 in bits and pieces, but start-to-finish is the only viewing that counts.

3) TRANSFORMERS!!!

1) Proud to say I've never seen "Schindler's List". Jaws drop. I'm sure it's a fantastic, moving film, but I just can't seem to find a day when I'm willing to subject myself to such sadness. There has not been, nor will there ever be a time when I'll say "Y'know what I feel like doing? Ordering pizza and watching "Schindler's List". No disrespect to the subject matter, but it ain't gonna happen.

2) Embarrassed to say I've never seen "Run, Lola, Run". I have no reason to explain this. I've never read a bad review about this film, everyone seems to discuss it at great length, yet... I dunno. There's a secret shame there...

3) "Dude, Where's My Car". This needs no explaining. I am dumber for having watched this. I knew it was dumb going into it (in a theater, nevertheless), but I can never act as if I haven't seen it.

1) Titanic! OH YEAH! (Sorry--to fully understand the awesomeness of this, you have to have gone through high school as a girl in an all-girls school, where adoration for this fucking movie back in 1996 (1997? Can't remember the year) was at an all-time high.

2) The Shawshank Redemption. Just haven't seen it yet. (But seriously, "The Godfather"? I'm surprised. Every guy I've ever dated has made me watch that movie, even though I've already seen it on my own).

3) Meet Joe Black. Oh, the humanity.

1) Titanic
2) An Inconvenient Truth
3) Dumb & Dumber

1)There's Something About Mary
2)ET (Everyone seems to love this movie, I think he is extremely creepy)
3) A. freakin' I. (honorable mention: NORBIT, OCEANS 12, WAR OF THE WORLDS)

@ David:

Yeeeaah!!! (raises fist) I like Titanic too. Not enough to warrant a shout like that, but you...you inspired me, man.

(1) anything with Dane Cook/ Skank Cancer-- but specially 24 dresses or whatever it was called

(2)Dial M for Murder

(3)Super bad-- usually i would have walked out but couldnt as i was with company who was enjoying themselves immensly. found the movie very sexist in its humor and not funny enough.

Bucko, no, you're not the only one. I just don't get it. It was watchable, and ultimately forgettable, but not good. I am utterly perplexed at peoples' reverence for it.

1) American Pie
2) Pulp Fiction. I still don't know how or why I haven't seen this.
3) Click. There are worse movies I've seen but they were so unmemorable that undoing the experience wouldn't be much of a benefit to me. I, for example, remember virtually nothing about Tailor of Panama.

Whoever upthread hasn't seen 'Strangelove' -

It's a slow burn. I had a 'goddamn it I'm going to get some Kubrick in my diet night' and watched Strangelove-Clockwork Orange-The Shining-Eyes Wide Shut back-to-back etc.

Strangelove takes a while to get kicking but the payoff is so worth it.

Skittimus - 'Lola' is good. Not The Once and Future Movie, but not bad.

(also, I half want to change my #3 to 'Troy' but I did walk out of that piece of cinematic dog vomit 20 minutes in, so it kind of doesn't count.)

1. Anything of Tyler Perry's after the Family Reunion flick. I just couldn't take anymore.

2. The Godfather. I just haven't gotten around to it.

3. Party Monster. I love Seth Green, but that movie just makes me uncomfortable. Also...the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Don't laugh, I was a kid!

Vivian, you're not the only one. Personally, I think The Big Lebowski is overrated. It has funny moments sure, but not enough to achieve the "amazing" status it has.

Darth Corleone, I'm sure I'll get skewered for this, but I thought 2001 was a giant steaming turd. As I watched, I kept waiting, and waiting, and waiting for this revered "masterpiece" of modern cinema to live up to its rep, but for me, it remained slow and painful throughout the entirety of the movie. I hope you have better luck!

1. The Sound of Music (the hills are alive with the sound of GRISWOLD, dammit!)
2. All of the Godfather movies (never really got into Mob flicks)
3. Prepare for Launch (it was the free movie on a plane trip I took - I actually considered for a brief moment how lucky the people on Oceanic 815 were....)

1. Titanic
2. The Godfather
3. Withnail and I. I know people love it. I couldn't last twenty minutes.

1.) Swingers
2.) Annie Hall
3.) License to Wed (shudder)

1) The Brown Bunny. Oh you mean a film that other folks liked? Then, White Chicks.
2) I will have to join Dustin and say Blade Runner.
3) Not a one. Even the really crappy ones had the redeeming quality of showing what a really crappy film looks like. Plus, I didn't get the bitching and moaning about the past, anyway.

Really, what is the deal with Boondock Saints love? I mean, the action was nice, but everything else was meh. Plus the director was a huge douchebag, and his douchebag essence was all over the damn film.

1. Soul Plane.
2. An Inconvenient Truth... I don't want to know how bad it is.
3. (tie) Vanilla Sky/Eyes Wide Shut

4. Movie I'm proud to have seen but embarrassed to admit I LOVED: Death to Smoochy.

Multiple contenders in each category.

1) The movie you are proud to say you've never seen? Passion of the Christ, anything starring Tim Allen that isn't animated by Pixar, all of the torture-porn movies that have proliferated over the past five years or so (I see the ads and wonder what's wrong with us).

2) The movie you are embarrassed to say you've never seen? Raging Bull, On the Waterfront, anything starring either Charlie Chaplin or Harold Lloyd

3) The movie you've seen but desperately wish you could undo? I can think of three, and they're totally different: Crash, Whipped, and The Polar Express

Proud: Dance Porn (except for Save the Last Dance)

Embarassed: The Big Labowski (I've started it about 10 times but can't sit through it).

Can't Undo: Requiem for a Dream. That movie depressed the hell out of me. I seriously couldn't get it out of my head for about a month or two. Also Xanadu. I hate everyone who recommended that movie as a guilty pleasure. Guilty, yes. But no pleasure.

1. Proud: Hostel and Hostel II, Saw I-IV, Captivity, Turistas, etc. etc. et fuckin' c.
2. Embarrassed: Schindler's List
3. Sorry: United 93. It wasn't necessarily bad by any means, but it was the most intense experience I've had and not necessarily in a good way.

1. I am proud to have never seen any of the Harry Potter movies nor have I read any of the books. This girlie just refuses to drink the Kool-Aid.

2. Considering who I am, it is shameful to admit I have never seen Dario Argento's Zombie. Only clips.

3. There's a lot of time I wasted watching crappy movies, but considering I worked at a movie theater for many a summer and didn't pay for my tickets, I will go with a movie that I had to fork over cash to see: Mallrats. I gag just thinking about it.

1. Lord of the Rings Trilogy
2. Citizen Kane
3. The Holiday (I was bored on a cross-country flight, but I would have been happier doing nothing than watching that dreck)

"et fuckin' c"

BRILLIANT!
I am going to steal this from you and use it as much as I can.

Psst, llism - 2001 was a turd of a flick. I don't get it either. In fact i wasn't even a turd - it's one of those mini-turdlets that come creeping back outta your toilet-hole after you've flushed.

I'll take a little skewering off your back...

Ditto to everyone on the Godfather films. I'm gonna have to toss "Scarface" on that list as well...

1) The movie you are proud to say you've never seen?

I see I'm not alone here when I say "any and all torture porn." Cheers to that!

2) The movie you are embarrassed to say you've never seen?

Embarassed to admit to THIS crowd in particular? That would have to be "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," which I never did finish.

Also, there are many, many classic films I know full well I ought to watch. I'm just more of a reader than a film buff...is that an acceptable defense at all?

3) The movie you've seen but desperately wish you could undo?

Oh good grief, that would have to be The Passion. Not only did I have to sit through it in the theatre, in all its gory [sic]; I then had to pretend to agree with my dear Catho-holic mother that it was SO moving and touching, and how LOVELY it was of that dear man to die for our sins.

[To all you kind and loveable Christians of Pajiba, that was very flippant and unkind and I do apologize; however, that experience brings out the nasty "damn-my-years-of-forced-churchgoing" streak in me]

1. The Goonies. I have no reason not to see this, but it gives me a strange ego boost every time someone is amazed that I haven't.

2. The Shawshank Redemption. This one eats at me sometimes, because I know I'm missing something great.

3. Norbit. My girlfriend got this On Demand four in one week, no lie. I held out until the last time when I was just too lazy to leave, and she had worn me down talking about how funny it was.

Huh, I just realized my #3 pretty much negated my #1. Okay, never *by choice* have I watched torture porn.

Proud: Captive

Embarrassed: Any of the Godfathers

Undo: Meet the Spartans

Never: Beaches

Embarrassed: 2 Many 2 Count
(Breakfast at Tiffany's, To Kill a Mockingbird (SORRY! I fell asleep!), Citizen Kane, et.al.)

Sorry: Footloose

"3. Norbit. My girlfriend got this On Demand four in one week, no lie. I held out until the last time when I was just too lazy to leave, and she had worn me down talking about how funny it was."

Why the HELL isn't she your ex-girlfriend?

1) The movie you are proud to say you've never seen?
The Grudge and Most of The Sound of Music (as in flipping through the channels & catch up to about The hills are alive wiiiiiiith [NEXT!]
2) The movie you are embarrassed to say you've never seen?
I'm slowly chipping away at this list thanks to Netflix, but I guess I'd have to say Sunset Boulevard
3) The movie you've seen but desperately wish you could undo?
TITANIC

1) Norbit - I drive to LA County once every other weekend, so I already get to see all the cellulite covered ham hocks encased in too thin spandex without having to pay the price of theatre admission.

2) All of the Godfather movies

3) The Big Lebowski (did I spell that right? Do I care?) That had to be the biggest fucking waste of my goddamed time. I mean, really..."The Dude abides?" Fucking blow me, man.

1. Proud of never seeing: Independence Day
2. Embarrassed of never seeing: Lawrence of Arabia
3. Regret seeing: Eight Heads in a Dufflebag

ooo

ooo

ooo

I have never seen The Passion of Christ & probably won't ever. Forgot that.

Skittimus, kisses to you. I was thinking I was completely daft and there was some GREAT MEANING that I just wasn't getting. Also agree with the Godfather--it was . . . meh. And I haven't seen Scarface. Just never had any interest.

KT--I can always kill some bitches during the "I Never" game when say I never saw Beaches. Drink Up Ladies!

Damn stoopid html.

1. Crash
2. Fight Club
3. Babel

Mella... You actually SAW "Meet the Spartans"?

For real?!

Was it... wait... did you get paid or... I've... I've just never heard from anyone who actually sat through a viewing of... wow. Just wow...

Seriously, this warrants an explanation. What the hell? Was it part of a hostage agreement? Were you or a loved one in danger and the only way to get through it unscathed was to sit through the whole goddamed... Again, just wow.

My dad LOVED Beaches, and owned the soundtrack... and yet we never knew he was gay until 2002.

Saw and sequels.

The Godfather and sequels

Brotherhood of the Wolf (it's been four years and I still make my husband plead for my forgiveness for sitting through that steaming pile of shite)

To be honest, I thought Scarface sucked goat ass.

1)Sound of Music. No. Thanks.

2)Rambo (any of them)

3)Carlito's Way: Rise to Power. I somehow thought this straight-to-dvd movie would at least be a watchable film. It was horrible. It even had Luis Guzman in it, playing a different character than he played in the first movie!

How the fuck can so many (especially males) not have seen The Godfather? Unreal.

Picking just one for each category is pretty hard, but I think these are my tops...

1. The Passion of the Christ
2. My Left Foot
3. Supernova

Ooohh.. And I am SO embarrased to say that I have never seen Batman Begins. We even OWN it! I am such a loser.

1. Nothing Eddie Murphy has done in at least a decade except Dreamgirls
2. A lot of supposedly great movies from before 1985
3. The Mexican, I wanted to walk out but my friend wouldn't.

Hated Boondock Saints as well. And really liked Run Lola Run, it's one of two German movies I've ever liked, the other was Der Bewegte Mann.

1. Crash
2. Our Man in Havana, but it's really not my fault since there is some distribution/copyright issue that prevents it from being on dvd/video. So unless I find a screening somewhere.....
3. The Last Kiss

1. Crash, probably.
2. So many- Godfather, any James Bond, Star Wars, and I could go on from there. I counted only 11 Best Picture films I have seen, about 13 if you count parts of movies, all that There Will Be Blood and No Country From Old Men and pretty much everything this year that isn't The Darjeeling Limited.
3. I wish I had never seen lots, but let's start with The Hours, which was very aptly named, and more recently, Sydney White (Although I did think the part with Sydney and that Prince guy with the Dashboard Confessional song was kind of sweet)

insertclevernamehere, get those dvds on your netflix queue pronto!

I too, was late to the whole Buffy, Firefly and BSG party, but holy jiminy xmas - those are some SHOWS.

Mr Stella and I are currently halfway through season 2 of BSG, and I tell you, I need daily status reports from the mailbox texted to me so that I know when the next episode has arrived.
It's sick.

Same with Firefly, I actually got ferklempt when we watched the last episode and I realized there were NO MORE!

Just out of curiousity (and not to disrupt the thread), why are so many rappers obsessed with this movie? I've never understood that...

ok, that was supposed to be verklempt...

Who is proud to say they've never seen Lord of the Rings? Insanity. That just makes you look like a douche who refuses to watch things other people enjoy.

1. Saw (and all its sequels)

2. Citizen Kane

3. Two Girls, One Cup and Employee of the Month (equally offensive)

Gah! Not a lot of time, so I'm popping in to throw out my answers and looking forward to reading everyone else's later.

I'm SO proud I've never seen Captivity.

(I'm usually not one to judge people by their work or publicity stunts, but Courtney Solomon= misogynistic, opportunistic, sociopathic, egotistical fuckwit as far as I'm concerned)

I'm deeply ashamed to have never seen The Apartment, Vertigo, All About Eve, Chinatown...

The list continues. I submit myself for flogging and other punishments until my errors are remedied and my sins absolved. Thank Christ for Netflix.

What do I wish I'd never seen? Easy- The Hills Have Eyes II.

Believe it or not, I had to watch it for work. I was drinking very heavily that week.

BTW, sorry about the lack of italics. My computer's weird about them for some reason.

1) I'm a whore - I'll see anything, but Pirates 2 & 3 come to mind...
2) Lawrence of Arabia (so much desert, for sooo long)
3) Tie: Closer (I've seen the first 45 minutes three times, either walked out in disgust or fell asleep every time - that faux cybersex scene is some serious eye-rolling crap) and Across the Universe (Girlfriend kept asking "you wanna leave?" I thought it would get good.)

hee hee wsapnin, in my perfect world, I would be waited on hand and foot by Lee Adama, Mal Reynolds, and Bruce Wayne...(sigh, you should really see the movie)...

1) Grease! Thank god.
2) Pulp Fiction. But I think i get the gist.
3) Pirates of the Carribean, Dead Mans Chest. My butt is still numb.

I am so pleased to know that other folks didn't like/get 2001. I thought it was boring & pointless and have had too many people tell me that there must be something wrong with me since the movie is a "masterpiece." F*ck them in the pants.

Proud: Gia (I have an unnatural aversion to Angelina Jolie. I don't know why.)

Embarassed: Casablanca

Sorry: The Ninth Gate. I wanted to kill Johnny Depp and use his blood to write a "fuck you" letter to the company that produced it.

1) Grease
2) Empire Strikes Back/Return of the Jedi
3) Princess Diaries 2? ...I must have a better one for this...

1) The movie you are proud to say you've never seen?
The Da Vinci Code- have no interest in the book or film whatsoever
2) The movie you are embarrassed to say you've never seen?
American Beauty
3) The movie you've seen but desperately wish you could undo?
Mr Holland's Opus. I'm still angry. I watched it on a transantlantic flight and was too numb to start stabbing my eyes out or, you know, just stop watching.

Can't guarantee satisfaction, but "Lawrence of Arabia" should be seen as big as possible. And I'm getting another opportunity! http://www.grady.uga.edu/osbornefest/2008.Schedule.php

I forgot my sullen pride over Garden State. That was a damn trifecta year or so of movies that wouldn't leave me alone ("Shaun of the Dead" was kind of amongst those as a hipster hit. I hadn't seen "Spaced" yet, and no one had told me Dylan Moran was in it, so I wasn't grudgefully avoiding it so much as not caring that much for a while. Glad I fixed that). I wouldn't say "NUH UH! DR STRANGELOVE IS GOOD!!!!", but I think it is. But if one more person ever tells me I need to see motherfucking Shawshank.....so, you see, I can't squawk too much.

If anyone starts bitching about Shawshank just to keep their hipster-than-thou cred, I swear I will start kicking people in the goolies.

If you do not have goolies, goolies will be provided for you.

1) Forrest Gump: I'm perfectly fine with living and never seeing this one.
2) TIE: Gone With The Wind and Lawrence of Arabia: i need to see some more classics!
3) Titanic: I knew it would be bad, I just didn't know HOW bad!

1 - Titanic (the death pact still holds)
2 - So, so many. I'll go with Gone With The Wind
3 - Children Of Men. Why did everyone love this movie so much?

1. Maid in Manhatten
2. Casablanca
3. Bongwater (with Jack Black and Luke Wilson... utterly unwatchable, yet I sat it out.)

1. Not Another (fill-in-the-blank) Movie (and its cohorts)
2. Dazed and Confused (being an Austinite), The Godfather, All About Eve...
3. Legally Blonde 2, Because I Said So

1: I can't even think of anything to put into here. I'm a sucker for really crappy movies. I guess I could say that I'm proud I haven't seen The Core more then 10 times (although another viewing or two and I won't be able to say that anymore)

2: The Godfather Any and all of them. I have them on my netflix but they keep getting bumped by my repeated viewings of The Core and Monster Squad

3: Garden State - frikken annoying ass movie. I just don't get the appeal of Zak Braff

1) High School Musical
2) Vertigo
3) The three separate and distinct Hillary Duff films that I inflicted upon myself during A SINGLE FUCKING PLANE JOURNEY. Also, What A Girl Wants with Amanda Bynes - squirrel cheeks ruins cinematic London.

[1] The Game Plan
[2] Juno
[3] Napoleon Dynamite -- I can't believe I let myself sit through the whole thing.

1. star wars episode III
2. dog day afternoon
3. glitter

oh my gosh katy! Because it was such a powerful movie! I had not been so moved and shaken by a movie in a LONG time.
The dystopia, the paranoia, the freedom fighters, the cinematography! oh, it was good!

And the fact that the original book was written so long ago, and yet, much of the premise of the book is happening right now!

1. Any torture porn

2. Mirrormask

3. The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course

1. PROUD: Passion of the Christ (Christian, married to a PASTOR!) Still didn't feel the need to see it, we almost got excommunicated.
2.Embarrassed: Godfather. My dad is a huge fan, I bought him the VHS set and then the DVD set...still have yet to see it.
3.Wish I could undo:High School Musical 1 & 2. So glad my preteen is soooo over HSM. I will NOT have to see #3, cuz if I did I would've had to take along pocket shots...and a gun.

I guess I should add...to shoot myself.

Boondock Saints. :(

Draya!! Watch it, it's AWESOME

Julie, does it count that I've seen bits of it at random college parties?
Its such a gap in my movie collection. As cliche as it may be some of my favorites are Snatch and Lock, Stock. Boondock should complete the trifecta...maybe over Spring Break I can finally acquire it.

1) The movie you are proud to say you've never seen? - Titanic

2) The movie you are embarrassed to say you've never seen? Network and Chinatown (hides face--but both are on my Netflix queue)

3) The movie you've seen but desperately wish you could undo? Snow Dogs (I blame my nephew; we both thought it was a 90-minute movie about talking dogs--only to discover that dogs only talk in a dream sequence which lasts like 2 minutes; for the remaining 88 minutes, you have to watch Cuba Gooding Jr.).

1. Crash - I bought it for $5 used right before it won the Oscar and still haven't watched it.

2. Taxi Driver - I've Netflixed this twice and still haven't seen it. One of these days.

3. Spiderman 3 AND Hostel. F both those flicks. The first for ruining a great franchise with a horrible finale, the second for existing.

Katy>> I think Children Of Men is a little overrated, as it gets too heavyhanded for me at the end, but if you're a serious cinephile, you absolutely have to appreciate it from a technical standpoint.

That ambush scene in the car? That is absolutely one of the five best if not the best composed/choreographed shot I've ever seen in any film ever. And that tracking shot through the warzone at the end? Almost equally impressive.

I shudder to think that is time you would want back.

All you non-watching Godfather people >> You need to remedy that. Seriously. Epic and required on so many levels.

proud: The English Patient. This morning two baristas were re-enacting the Seinfeld scene where Elaine admits to hating that movie. The book was incredible, I didn't want to see it turned into some godawful romance.
embarassed: Goodfellas. My sister loves that movie and it is on TV all the time. I have no excuse.
undo: That Howard Stern movie. I am dumber for it.

Actually, Boondock Saints did suck, but I can see how people might have been fooled. I first saw it when I was 19 and thought it was okay...but then I watched it again a few years later and realized that it was just lame.

Really lame.

To the point that I felt bad for Ron Jeremy because this was probably the movie he though was going to propel him into the realm of non-porn work. Sad, so sad.

Also, Scarface pretty much sucked as well. What a bad, stupid movie...and horrible music to boot.

Sorry - I just feel like hatin' today and this seems like the appropriate arena for that.

1) Proud that I haven't seen Hostel I or II

2) Embarrased to say I haven't seen The Lives of Others seeing how I vowed to see ever since last year's Oscars. Even got it on netflix and gave up and sent it back! I feel like I lost a battle of wills within myself.

3) Wish I could get back the minutes I sat through Saw II especially since I hadn't seen the first one. I seriously had no business trying to follow that shitty plot.

aww...to busy to read through everybody's comments...
1. El Chupacabra (even though the SO has been foolish enough to rent it TWICE)
2. The Godfather
3. Star Wars eps. 1-3

1.) Titanic (that's right!)
2.) I haven't seen one blooming second of any of the Godfather movies.
3.) What was the name of the Bring It On: The Gymnast Version? That was awful. So, so awful.

This is completely unrelated, but I just took a stroll through WIMB...

How does one go about mentally erasing that image of Perez Hilton?

Every time I blink... He's there... Deargodinheaven...

Anybody got a video of... I dunno, like a litter of kittens getting crushed by a steamroller or something... maybe footage of schoolchildren being trampled by a pack of flaming rhinos? An elderly woman being molestered by a violently drunk grizzly bear? Something? Anything? Is "Meet the Spartans" out on video yet? Jesus...

1. any torture porn because i'm old and i think that the fact that these movies get made in the first place--not to mention promoted and widely released--is a sign of the apocalypse.

2. the Godfather movies (maybe?) because everyone in my family LOVEs them, but i haven't been able to make it through the first movie.

3. forrest frakkin' gump. i HATE that stupid frakkin' movie with an irrational red hot passion. back in the day i had a roommate who bought it and watched it all the time--i seriously had to move out and i haven't talked to her since. just thinking about it makes me all twitchy.

1. Sahara
2. Sunset Blvd.
3. Sous le Toit de Paris

proud: "ET"
embarrassed: "The Princess Bride"
oh, oh no: "Passion of the Christ" and "Meet the Spartans." I don't remember which made me want to set myself on fire more.

1.) Wild Hogs OR Norbit OR The Passion of the Christ. Take your pick.

2.) L'avventura (& I even included it in an essay at uni!)

3.) You Got Served (some of my friends have atrocious taste in film. This one I drunkenly got roped into. Never again!)

I am shocked that not a single person has mentioned 'Dumb and Dumberer' (sequel) as the answer to questions 1 or 3. Having seen it I can shamefully attest to the fact that it was undoubtedly one of the worst movies ever made!!!

1. Epic Date Meet the Spartans Movie - I don't even watch the previews...I'm that good

2. Juno - No transportation and no cool friends

3. Edmond. Seriously....I love psychological, trippy, mindfucks as much as the next guy...but this movie made me want to curl into a ball and cry myself to sleep. I have violently refused to ever watch it again.

1. Titanic - Just never got it...seemed like a waste of time.

2. Schindler's List - I will file this one firmly in the "embarrassed" category. I have even, on occasion, lied about seeing this when I haven't.

3. The Mexican - I didn't even pay and still asked for my money back.

1) None of the Epic/Date movies (it is so lazy and takes no talent to make those movies). Or any Soul Plane, Who's Your Caddy? type movies where black actors are only too eager to act stereotypical. Hate that.

2) Chinatown, but I blind bought it and am planning to see it soon.

3) Romper Stomper. Quite simply, fuck that movie. It sucks hardcore.

Oooh...let me add another to my #3 - Gummo. Another one that made me want to weep for the species

Children of Men was the first dystopian future that I thought seemed entirely plausible, and I thought Clive Owen was fantastic in it. On the other hand, I thought Julianne Moore was awful.

I thought of another movie I desperately wish I hadn't seen: Pay It Forward. I still can't believe how offensive its manipulation was.

1. Anything by Uwe Bol.
2. "A Clockwork Orange"
3. Oh god. "Skinwalkers"

"....On the other hand, I thought Julianne Moore was awful...."

Isn't she always? Bitch is like a ginger version of Helen Hunt. *shudders*

HO.LEE.SHIT.

Shadowdakaron, "Gummo"...

I take every number three here - EVERY number three, and toss 'em in a steel cage match against "Gummo". There aren't enough words - there aren't enough words in EVERY language, real or made-up, to convey the loathing, sucky, whatthefuck, shitheel of a crapfuck this movie is... I could staple a cheap camera-phone to an epileptic, one-legged chimpanzee's scrotum and the footage I decided NOT TO KEEP would be better than "Gummo". What a huge, huge waste of time, film, electricity, air, et fuckin'c!

In the Bizarro Universe, this is Pajiba's Mostest Underappreciated Gems.

This movie deserves the scathingest review - and every video store/tanning salon in the goddam country would be forced to cover at least one entire wall of their store in multiple copies, thus ensuring that nobody would ever, EVER rent this piece of shit again.

I'd like to collectively gather up all the rage I've ever expressed throughout these threads and fucking... fucking do a Streetfighter blue powerball of angry fire-vomit and cram it ALL into the hate I have for this film.

...(whew)... Ineedadrink ...

1. Agent Cody Banks (for a friend's birthday, we walked out halfway through)

2. Paper Moon, Citizen Kane, Chinatown

3. The Big Lebowski. What a festering pile of shit masquerading as humorous and avant-garde

1) If only this Diversion happened a month ago! I could totally say "Top Gun". As it is, though, it's a tie between "Ghost" and "E.T".
2) "Trainspotting" - I swear, I've seen almost everything else Danny Boyle directed, but I never get around to this movie. I also feel like I should've seen "War of the Roses" by this point.
3) "The Wedding Date"; "Date Movie"; "Meet the Fockers"; "Underworld 2" --> All on opening weekends; all because my friends had terrible taste in movies. I was also super-close to making it through high school with having seen more than five minutes of "Dirty Dancing", but one of my friends found out and swore up and down I'd love it. I didn't. BUT, the all time hugest waste of time, money, and an afternoon skipping school had to be "Sweet November". You know, that formula where uptight corporate guy meets free spirit girl and she teaches him how to live again. Then she dies. And it starred the Great Emoter, Keanu Reeves. Blurg.

I could staple a cheap camera-phone to an epileptic, one-legged chimpanzee's scrotum and the footage I decided NOT TO KEEP would be better than "Gummo".

The awesomeness of this statement can not be expressed in words, and I haven't even seen the aforementioned movie.

Revision: the first should actually say any Woody Allen movie

I couldn't have said it better myself, Skittimus.

1) None of the horrible "parody" movies.
2) Full Metal Jacket
3) It would have to be either Dèmoni or Gor, two of the worst movies I've ever seen. The first one I went to see because of the ad in the paper which quoted Fangoria magazine's rave review of the movie. The second one I went to see with my girlfriend at the time, who liked the books the movie was based on.

1. The Wedding Planner
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Grease II

1) Dances With Wolves
2) The Godfather
3) Daredevil

Skittimus--uhh, exactly how is a "pack of flaming rhinos" supposed to help you FORGET that image of Perez Hilton? I should think that would have the opposite effect altogether....the resemblance is kind of uncanny if you ask me.....

1) Dirty Dancing
2) Any of the Godfather Movies
3) Meet the Spartans

Depends on what interpretation of "flaming" you're going by...

Wait..that still doesn't work...

Julie - Don't.

Just don't.

Don't even dabble.

Don't Wikipedia, Google, Yahoo or Ask Jeeves it.

What is it about? I can't even BEGIN to tell you. It was THAT BAD.

It's like a... like a friggin' combo-meal consisting of the demonic Rubik's Cube from "Hellraiser", the VHS video from "The Ring" and an extra-large side order of the NIN "Happiness in Slavery" video...

Just let it be and try to forget it was even mentioned on this site.

1)7 Years in Tibet - (I've been over Brad Pitt since just after Thelma & Louise)
2)The Godfather trilogy
3)Urban Legend (aka "30 Seconds Of Brad Dourif" which is why I saw it in the first place)

I still have nightmares from watching that thing. Skittimus doesn't even begin to describe the horror that is that movie. It really does make you wonder at what point someone in the evolutionary chain went wrong, that it was even conceived to create this movie....much less that there might be actual people underneath it.

If there's one movie everyone here should be ecstatic about putting on their #1, it should be that one.

1) Any torture porn movie, Star Wars Episode 3, the third Matrix movie.
2) Hmm, there are so many, I wouldn't know where to start.
3) Last Exit to Brooklyn (it made me feel so bad on the inside, that I returned it to the video store at like 2:00 in the morning--I needed it out of my house that badly.)

Oh, and Spike of Besonhurst might actually be the worst film I've ever seen, but Last Exit to Brooklyn was by far the most traumatizing.

Does BunnieVision count? Because if we are counting the films at angryalien.com, then I've seen quite a few more movies than I le on.

I have to add: Never saw Brokeback Mountain, although it's review on this site is the reason I became a regular lurker (everyday, that is.) I read the short story and that made me cry- I figured I'd never make it through the movie. I learned my lesson watching Virgin Suicide on a Monday and having to get through the week.

Also, I don't watch movies that have rape in them. It makes me sad because I know I'm missing cinematic masterpieces in a couple of cases (Clockwork Orange) but I just... can't seem to.

1. Titanic
2. Godfather II. Particularly because it's on cable every other weekend.
3. Happy Feet. Words cannot fully express what a vile suckfest this movie is. My rancor & enmity STILL BURNS for this movie over a year after I saw it...
...lalala, must return to my happy place, The Office returns in April, lalala...

Apologies if this has been addressed.

Assessment of 2001 has to be done in the context of when it was released (I'm not quite that old, but I did see it before Empire Strikes Back came out) It was mind blowing to people who'd never seen Star Wars, let alone the kind of effects we're seeing now. Imagine your only concept of space was the footage we got back from Apollo 11 (along with the images in your head from reading Asimov, Heinlein, etc.) To people raised on Astaire and Rogers, Bogey and Bacall, Hepburn and Tracy, this was trippy shit.

Does it hold up? I'd say no, certainly not to the extent that another visually groundbreaking film, Lawrence of Arabia, does.

1. Proud. "Annie Hall". I hate Allen that much.

2. Embarrassed. "Bonnie and Clyde".

3. Resentful. "The Breakup". I'm very picky, and thus my "proud" bin is 50 times larger than my "please, kill me now" bin. That, and I'll walk out with little cause. Aniston suckered me into this piece of crap.

Oh, part 2. Of course I'm proud I've never seen Passion of the Christ, but then it never occurred to me that I would.

None of you know the worst movie you ever/never seen, I'll tell you which movie that is:

*drumroll* The worst movie you've ever/never sen is:

The Stupids

starring Tom Arnold, 'nuff said.

*drumroll* The worst movie you've ever/never sen is:
The Stupids

Not even close. You can at least extract an inkling of something worthwhile out of that one (I chuckled once...it counts).

1.Epic and Date Movies, as well as the majority of the Scary Movies (suffered through number 2 at a friend's house. We're no longer friends,) and Meet the Spartans.
2. Amelie
3. God, I thought I'd never mention this again, but "Bringing Down the House." The things a girl will do to be popular...

BSlim, I have the utmost respect for you and your opinion, yet I would rather sit through booze-free 24-hour marathon of "The Stupids" while soaking nude in a venereal hot-tub with Perez Hilton, Nap Vag, Sanjaya and the above-mentioned one-legged chimp than watch the opening credits of "Gummo"...

Melissa, you totally reminded me of "Employee Of the Month. I forgot that I had to suffer through that garbage. I retract my original post about wanting to undo Norbit. Employee of the month is enough to make you actually want a lobodomy. Take it back, please. I don't want to remember!!!!

Today is my 37th birthday. Thank you for the birthday present, Dustin!

... venereal hot-tub...

I'm intrigued and repulsed at the same time...and slightly confused...

My dad LOVED Beaches, and owned the soundtrack... and yet we never knew he was gay until 2002.

_ _ _ _ _

Is it wrong that my drink came out my nose when I read this?

Skittimus - You do realize that you're making me want to watch the movie, don't you? Anything that can inspire such passion is at least worth a Wiki.

Well, I think for realistic shots of things in space, albeit slow moving, 2001 does hold up. It's dated as all get out in its wardrobe, though I wouldn't mind looking like Floyd Heywood, but I think the space stands up, particularly what a human body in a vacuum looks and sounds like.

But it's sure a sloooow ass metaphor of some kind or something or other, so being bored to tears is entirely possible, particularly by the "...uh.....so, is it ending?". But Stanley Kubrick was just getting warmed up for "Barry Lyndon" which I forced myself to watch. There it sat in the box set, just waiting. Goddamn is that a slow movie. Pretty involving story though, I thought.

On the other hand, willful ignorance of "Grease" strikes me as verkochte, but then that's just more "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" for me....or something. And dammit, who is gonna karaoke "Summer Nights" with me already???

----------------------------------------------

Oh this just made my day!

1. The Passion of the Christ
2. None (i.e. recovering Bittorent addict)
3. One Night in Paris

Or was it Heywood Floyd. Motherfucker, you know how to spell it!!

Don't do it, monkey_b! You have the rest of your life ahead of you! Nothing is worth the sheer pain of knowledge! Ignorance is bliss! Trust us....steer clear away!

Proud: Armageddon, Wild Wild West
Embarrassed: The Godfather, E.T (It's probably not that great, but I need to get over my childhood fear.)
Undo: Elecktra

1. Proud to say I have not seen any of the "movie" movies (scary movie, epic movie, date movie, etc.)

2.Embarrassed to say I have never seen Seven Samurai.

3.I saw Clive Barker's Night Breed and wished I had that time back. Actually... I am ashamed to say that I saw it three times. The first time was on TNT so I thought that editing it for TV was what ruined it. Then I watched it on Cinemax and realized that it was crappy. But, I thought maybe I had missed something. So, I watched it a third time and now I can finally say, sweet heaven above, that movie is terrible. And I am pretty sure all of Clive Barker's movies are terrible.

1. I am proud to say that I have bypassed the torture-porn movement entirely. That decision was about one-half political statement and one-half weak stomach.
2. I am embarrassed -- ashamed, possibly -- that I have never seen The Godfather. (This seems a popular answer. Pajiba Screening Night, anyone?)
3. I saw A Clockwork Orange right after I had surgery. I was totally out of my gourd on pain pills and kept nodding off. It was agonizing. (It has been pointed out to me that the abdominal incision might have something to do with the agony, but I can handle physical pain, y'all. This was in a whole different world.)

1. Proud: Titanic (my friends tried to drag me to it, but alas, the showing was sold out and I convinced them to see Wag the Dog with me instead.)

2. Embarrassed: Casablanca

3. Sorry: Van Helsing. (Quite possible the very worst movie ever. I would have walked out had I not fallen asleep.)

proud: Passion of Christ

embarrassed: Lawrence of Arabia - just can't find the time even with Sexy O'Toole, and what if I hate it - will it taint Zhivago and What's New Pussycat?

memory erase: Alien Vs. Predator - on a date, how I thought anything could develop after that...

1) The Pursuit of Happiness (Can't have MY tears, Mr. Smith)

2) Casablanca, I suppose. No wait, Taxi Driver.

3) ELEKTRA

Never: Torture porn. I like a little bit of scare in my movies and I am not adverse to blood, but those movies are nasty.

Embarrassed: It was Serenity (*gasp*) but I have remedied that in the last couple of months, so now it is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Sorry: Napoleon Dynamite. I didn't want to see it and watched it only because my ex's family rented it and bullied me into it. I hated it as much as I knew I would.

tt_marie: As a bartender I meet a lot of people in my job and get asked about my name a lot as well. I can't tell you how many times I have heard the following... "Zanna? Is that like that warrior princess, Xena... or that movie musical thingy?? Me: Xanadu? No, both of those are spelled with an X and my name starts with a Z" Seriously people... if I had a dollar for every time that happened when I met new people I wouldn't have to work anymore.

1. Proud: Passion of the Christ.
2. Embarrassed: The Godfather(s) and a lot of other good movies. I'm a reader.
3. Wish I could take back: Meet the Fockers.

Skittimus...marry me.

1. The Notebook. I REFUSE to ever see the Notebook. And noone ever believes I haven't seen it. Just becuase i'm a girl doesn't mean i've seen that god damn movie! god damnit.
2. Requiem for a Dream
3. Toss up between Failure to Launch, and You Me & Dupree(does it count if i turned it off halfway through becuase i found myself not giving a fuck?)

Oh, dear Jayco, I completely agree with your number 3!!

1. Titanic (and I never will)
2. The Virgin Suicides
3. Wild Hogs (the worst movie ever...I will never get those 100 minutes back)

PS...Wild Hogs is closely followed by I (don') Heart Huckabees.....that was actually painful to watch.

1. Star Wars I, II, II
2. Resevoir Dogs
3. Wild Wild West

Proud: I guess I should be proud to have not seen Pathfinder, but I read the "graphic novel" (read: artistically rendered storyboard.), so I'm not sure how proud I can really be.

Embarrassed: I don't know if embarrassed is the right verb, but I'm disappointed in myself that I haven't seen MirrorMask, Nightwatch, or Daywatch. They are supposed to be pretty cool looking.

Sorry: The Royal Tannebaums. Complete garbage. "OOOO! Dalmation mice! How whimsical!" My girlfriend made me watch it, oh, nigh on a year ago, on our second date. I should have known. I. SHOULD. HAVE. KNOWN.

Hmmm, kinda late, but here I go...

1)Dirty Dancing

2)The Godfather, Part II

3)Dreamcatcher. I had gone to see Sweet Home Alabama with my girlfriend at the time, so she said "Now you pick one for us." Yeah, I made a horrible error.

hey, alabamapink, lucio fulci did Zombie. And anyway, it's not that good. The Beyond is a helluva lot better.

I've never seen anything M. Night Shayamalan has done all the way through except for Sixth Sense.

I've never seen It's a Wonderful Life.

Titanic. I would put Crash here, but I've been using it as a barometer to test whether or not I'll get along with somebody, seeing as I don't know anyone I get along with that liked it.

Proud: Tie between Titanic and Star Wars I, II & III
Embarrased: The Big Lebowski
Sorry: The Matrix: Reloaded

huh, dunno why there's two of them.

1. Anaconda, Star Wars Ep II, III, Van Helsing
2. Schindler's List, every oscar winner last year
3. Eyes Wide Shut (left me deeply disturbed with an irrational fear of tom cruise), Hostel

proud - Titanic

embarrassed - Pulp Fiction

sorry - A walk to remember...sheesh...

1) Mission Impossible III
2) Fantasia
3) Matrix, Reloaded (& Revolutions)

1) Norbit, or any other movie where Eddie fucking Murphy does 1,543 characters. I know what you're going to say, but Coming to America was before Eddie Murphy sucked.

2) Casablanca. Though The Bridge on the River Kwai and Citizen Kane are two of my favorite movies, so I must get some classic film street cred.

3) NAPOLEON DYNAMITE. I resisted the urge for about a year, until I was tired of everyone quoting the movie and telling me how awesome it was. All I thought when I finished was, wow, I can't get those two hours of my life back. God. Awful.

Shadows of Dakaron>> In a very limited capacity, I contributed to the making of Edmond. I thought it turned out pretty well. Sorry it disturbed you so. Of course, you probably were one of about twelve people who saw it.

Matthew>> Given that Tenenbaums is easily one of my 20 most beloved movies, maybe I should go on a date with your old girlfriend. I'll try to find an ex of mine who loves some movie that worked for her that didn't work for me in return. That capitalization is fairly ominous, though. :- )

Proud: Titanic
Embarrassed: Citizen Kane
Sorry: Last Days (Gus Van Sant)

1. Rambo (all)
2. Citizen Kane
3. The Pacifier

1.Proud to have missed: All torture porn and the good majority of the retardmo rom-coms that have been released in the last 10 years.
2. Embarassed to have missed: All of the Godfathers and the Saw movies..not cause I care particularly but because peeps KEEP ASKING ME why I haven't watched these yet.
3. Sorry: Unforgiven (HATE), Cape Fear (gave me a migraine), All of the Batmans except the last one, How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days, Titantic, Grandma's Boy (don't ever, ever watch this movie, even if your little brother brings it over, promising hilarity..he's LYING)...I could go on....

3. Eyes Wide Shut (left me deeply disturbed with an irrational fear of tom cruise)

Posted by: adeline at February 27, 2008 7:50 PM

There is nothing irrational in a fear of Tom Cruise. The man is a hobgoblin. He wants to feast on your soul. That's why he's so toothy.

1 - Titanic, Million Dollar Baby + Crash, Meet the Parents + Fockers (see 3)
2 - No Country, There Will Be Blood, Juno (these need to berectified soon)
3 - John Tucker Must Die, The English Patient, Analyze That

1. High School Musical 2 ((Niece made me watch the first one...*shudders*))
2. The Godfather series ((Not even a minute of it))
3. Strange Wilderness ((AWFUL!))

1. Crash
2. anything not yet on DVD (last time I went to the cinema was Thanksgiving '06--sad, isn't it?
3. Dumb and Dumber, The Net

I would like to add these things to 2:
Network
The stack of DVDs I have accumulated yet never watch

1.)The Village - My buddy ruined the twist at the end and knew I didn't want to spend money on it.

2.) The Seven Samurai - Too expense to buy and always out at the rental place

3.) Phat Girlz - The Monique vehicle. I worked at a movie theater and did the tech screening on this piece of shit attached to celluoid.

I tell ya, it's a strange feeling when you're getting paid to watch a movie and still feel like you want your money back at the end.

1. Not a single teenage dance porn flick
2. Star Wars, Schindler's List
3. Freddy Got Fingered (possibly the worst movie ever made)

I feel like going again, so I will:

1) Any Torture Porn movie(Except Saw 1 which wasn't really torture porn) or Ghost: This one explains itself.

2) Cinema Paradiso: I own this one and I still haven't seen it. Bummer.

3)Epic Movie: My friend suggested it, I said "Why Not?" and it turned out to be 90 of the most painful minutes of cinema.

Proud...toss up between Jackass and Borat

Embarassed...Schindler's List..I keep meaning to, but I do depression so well without cinematic help...

Sorry...Epic Movie...my son begged me to watch it with him, promised I would love it and screamed loudly when I banned him from the Netflix account for life.

1. Titanic
2. Die Hard
3. Find Me Guilty - Seriously, if someone asks you to watch this movie with them, don't do it. Then never speak to that person again.

Oo good diversion this week!

1. Castaway
2. Any of the Godfather movies
3. Ghost Rider

1.) Passion of the Christ
2.) American Psycho. I know, I know. Christian Bale nude. Can't make myself watch it.
3.) Eyes Wide Shut. WTF?!?!? Can someone explain the appeal of this one? I thought it was a waste of time, film and my eye sight. Nicole Kidman can't even pretend to be stoned.

I'd like to give a dishonorable mention on the third category:

Ecks vs. Sever aka "Ballistic"...I swear, I would have jumped out of that plane except the Air Marshals held me at gunpoint.

All Coppola edition:

1) The Godfather Part III
2) The Conversation
3) Youth without Youth

All Spielberg edition:

1) Always
2) Schindler's List
3) Hook

1) American Pie
2) Maltese Falcon
3) Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle
I mean, seriously. I felt like I needed to shower afterwards. It was, easily, one of the worst movies I've ever seen. EVER.

1) The movie you are proud to say you've never seen? "Cheaper By The Dozen II" (fool me once...)
2) The movie you are embarrassed to say you've never seen? "Memento" (the one with Guy Pearce) never got to see it because none of my cable suppliers ever showed it, not even IFC, and just haven't had the interest to rent it or buy it.
3) The movie you've seen but desperately wish you could undo? "The Godfather", my first and almost last foray into mob-adoring movies. I liked "Donnie Brasco" and "The Departed" because they were anti-mob but I really don't like movies or tv shows that make the mafia look like lovable family men or respectable businessmen.

1) There are too many to list... anything in the torture porn genre, anything in the Scary Movie genre
2) Full Metal Jacket
3) That Hilary Duff movie where she goes to a music academy or something... I don't know why I did it.

What is with the Big Lebowski hate?! I have to say I really love that movie. How is it not, at the very least, kind of amusing?

1) The movie you are proud to say you've never seen?

Napoleon Dynamite and Torture Porn, but this list could be much longer

2) The movie you are embarrassed to say you've never seen?

Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List. I am a war movie buff.

Full Metal Jacket also applies here as I have never been able to finish it. There is one scene in particular that gets to me.

3) The movie you've seen but desperately wish you could undo?

Titanic. Oh god, I want all the torture that this movie subjected on my soul undone.

I would also add Eyes Wide Shut and The Beach, but I have collectively only made it through a total of 15 minutes combined of each.

Slim, why did you sit through Ecks vs. Sever? That looked sooo very, very bad.

Out of curiosity, was your flight with American Airlines?

Fringecamp

I like your thinking... I shall use it and call it the "Crash" test.

(insert socalled style rim shot here)

A) The Hottie and the Nottie. (And if I ever do see it, please kill me. We can all agree, anybody who's ever spent money on anything associated with the lazy eye of Sauron does not cherish life)

B) Going to have to go with Pulp Fiction on that one.

C) Epic Movie. It was on HBO, I was homesick, it was just a moment of weakness.

Proud - Titanic (Ahhh it's satisfy'n to the soul to know that there are still a few of us out there... we're a dying breed you know...)
Embarrassed - North by North West, Vertigo, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Sorry, just so... so... sorry - Daredevil (a wank stain on my life)

Skittimus: Up until reading your post, I had a vague curiosity about Gummo. Often I would come across the cover art while meandering through video stores and Netflix, and I always considered it as a valid option that I would someday take advantage of.

I owe you a bottle of wine. It seems you have saved me from a brain-melting fate worse than death. I will not forget this kindness.

I'm proud to say I've never seen a lot of stuff: Gigli, torture porn, Alexander, Fantastic Four I and II, Ghost Rider, Armageddon, any Lohan movie (except for Mean Girls, which was adapted by Tina Fey, so I hope I don't lose my Pajiba card!), any Rob Schneider movie (except for Deuce Bigalow I, kinda by accident), any Tyler Perry crap, Spice World... But this one in particular: Titanic. And it won't be hard to make it through life without it.

I'm embarassed to say I've never seen... Well, first let's say I'm rather surprised to see many others haven't seen The Godfather trilogy. I always thought I was the only one on Earth or something! And this considering I gave my bro the big box with 5 discs for Christmas...

Now, I wish I could "unsee" many. Let's start with The Day After Tomorrow, then go with Bryan Singer's craptastic Superman. Also, The Devil Wears Prada, The Dreamcatcher, Showgirls (yeah, sorry for this one), Van Helsing, Cube Zero, Cold Mountain... And call it a day by mentioning the one that bored me out of my skull: The Thin Red Line.

2.) American Psycho. I know, I know. Christian Bale nude. Can't make myself watch it.

Wait...Lori are you saying you can't watch it because of naked Christian Bale? I'm pretty sure that's the whole reason I saw this movie in the first place. Well, that and it was a pretty entertaining book.

Re: Children Of Men...In my defense I rented this movie at the same time I rented V for Vendetta, which I thought was a far superior movie, and a more realistic account of something that could plausibly happen. Maybe there were some comparisons confounding my opinion.

Also, Children Of Men reminded me of those 1970's disaster films that my dad loved and always made me watch with him. I HATED those! Oh no, twenty people are stuck in a room that's slowly filling with water, and one of them will eventually have to swim a long distance through an underwater cave to save everyone (with obligatory scene of people breathing the last inch of air available). Or, oh no, we're trapped on the 50th floor of a building that's on fire, and the only escape route is fraught with peril. In retrospect, that one is kind of sad now. But anyways, Children Of Men had that feel for me, and it brought back uncomfortable memories of watching suspenseful movies that I was probably too young to handle.

Melody - was the scene the soap + beating = sobbing scene? Was it? Yeah I can never watch it again due to that part - I do retain a little tenderness and compassion in my heart...

ShinyKate - You owe me nothing. The fact that you've decided to pass on this picked-at festering sore of a film is gift enough.

And really, if you're going to thank anyone, thank Shadowdakaron (sorry for shortening the name, SOD - me no typey good after drinky-drink happy time). He's the motherfucker that brought back a movie memory I thought I had purged from my noodle a long time ago...

P.S. SOD - In this instance, I mean "motherfucker" in the most admirable of ways...

Proud: Titanic (Glad to see I'm not the only who hasn't seen it, even if I might be the only member of my age group)
Embarassed: I don't think I have one.
Sorry: Crash

Oh but if you stop there you'll never get to the Man They Call Jayne.

I've never been able to hear "Surfin Bird" without hearing that tank ever since. But I kinda like that. I guess there's sort of a diversion thought, songs that a movie took ownership of.

"The Thin Red Line" also bored me, and that made me sad, and then resentful of all the return of Malick hype. But I feel sorry for anyone who *hasn't* seen "Showgirls". What a deliriously entertaining unsexy phantasmagoria. Or at least as funny as "Concorde: Airport 79" which is GOLD.

I think that Hillary Duff movie was "Raise Your Voice".

Thanks Jay! I was going to check on her imdb page but couldn't bring myself to do it.

1) The movie you are proud to say you've never seen? The sequels to Saw and Silence of the Lambs (Saw and SotL are, I think, great movies. Sequels were totally uncalled for, though, and their very existence mars the mystique of the first films)

2) The movie you are embarrassed to say you've never seen? Seven Samurai (and I love Kurosawa, too!)

3) The movie you've seen but desperately wish you could undo? World Trade Center (I miss my ten dollars and I miss the Oliver Stone who knew what the hell he was doing)

1. Any of the Saw, American Pie or Scary Movie monstrosities... and Titanic
2. The Godfather
3. Tie between Van Helsing and The Golden Compass

1)Armageddon
2)Casablanca
3)The Benchwarmers

*quietly*
we must agree to never. speak. of. Gummo. again.

1) Never seen & proud of it: Garfield
2) Never seen & regretting it: Brazil
3) Wish to undo: La Vita è bella

(I enjoyed Gummo, to some extent, mainly because of Roy Orbison)

1) Superman II, Superman III, Superman IV, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, Supergirl, any live-action Superman movie that may come out in the future... and hell, Smallville to boot. I'm a huge comic book fan, but seriously, I found the two I did watch to be idiotically plotted and mind-numbingly dull, and they were supposed to be the best two.

2) Godfather II. I need to rewatch #1 again, too, as I believe I was 11 at the time.

3) Well, as much as I loathe The Passion, I enjoy being able to discuss its utter horror with authority, so I'll go with Glitter and the Fantastic Four movies. Good thinking, hiring the Taxi guy...

1. Remember when we were warned as children that one accidental jab to the skin with a sharpened No.2 pencil would result in "blood poisoning"? I am convinced that a similar consequence would accompany watching the film Steel Magnolias.

2. I have never seen Lawrence of Arabia. There, I said it.

3. I've seen plenty of bad movies, and even those provided some amusement in their awfulness. But there was one movie that made me want to vault over the ticket counter and forcibly take back my money. That film was Chasing Amy. The acting, the writing -- the flat-footed, ham-handed obviousness of it scraped my nerve endings raw. It is a latent malarial parasite in my consciousness.

Is it just me, or has "it's in my netflix queue" become the new "the check's in the mail" or "I'm not prejudiced, I have a black friend"?

Truly amazing how many films people have missed. Even some of the "proud" ones are decent. It's pretty stupid to be proud of NOT seeing a film - your opinion doesn't mean shit unless you actually know what you're talking about. Fuck the comments of reviewers and your friends.

Rowles: Get off your ass and see Blade Runner. How the hell you can whine about paying hosting fees for a review website and not have seen one of the most important films of the last 30 years is beyond me. Here's a tip: lay off shitty teen angst film like Rocket Science and watch something that doesn't actually suck.

i love this diversion! and as usual, i am late to the game.
1) The movie you are proud to say you've never seen: i try to see as many films as i can, but i absolutely refuse to watch torture porn, including that of the mel gibson variety (ie the passion of the christ).
2) The movie you are embarrassed to say you've never seen: an inconvenient truth - i consider myself to be pretty environmentally active, but i tried watching this and fell asleep about 10 minutes in. at 8 o'clock pm. during summer vacation.
3) The movie you've seen but desperately wish you could undo: i have several, but fucking forrest gump tops this list. i absolutely hate everything about that movie, american movie-lovers and critics be damned. seriously, until i saw it mentioned above (in a different category), i was trying to decide between "dude, where's my car?" and "the animal." my hatred for this movie knows no bounds.

Hard to say proud or embarassed to not see something, although I'm happy I don't get off on the idea of torture porn, and I've never seen anything that qualifies. Or does the Final Destination series count? I saw one of those, I think...it was edited for content and dubbed in Arabic...that can't possibly count.

So many I wish I could undo. Most recently, a Hindi movie called Partner that's supposed to be a remake of something called Hitch. Over three hours of it. With singing and dancing. Actually, those were the only bearable parts.

Damn there are a lot of you that need to watch The Godfather Parts I and II. I know they are long but I think it pays off. I've watched all of them about 3 times this year alone because they are on tv so much and there is never anything on.

It might be because the first two are so good but III just doesn't do much for me. I try to like it but it just falls short for some reason.

Now get to it! Like Vito says, "...a man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man." Well a pajiban who doesn't watch part I and II is not a real movie lover.

I'm late but I'm going to play anyway:

1) 27 Dresses
2) Citizen Kane (and it's sitting on my shelf, mocking me)
3) Erin Brockovich

1) Proud to say I've never seen? The Passion Of The Christ. Never even felt the slightest twinge of curiosity.

2) Embarassed to say I've never seen? 2001: A Space Odyssey. Especially considering how much I loves me some Kubrick.:

3) Movie I've seen that I desperately wish I could undo? White Chicks. How anyone could misfire so badly in making a comedy that they actually end up making the purest distillation of creeping unease in cinematic form beggars belief.

1. Titanic - I knew someone who has seen this NINE TIMES!
2. Requiem for a Dream - been meaning to, heard it's a bummer
3. Mr & Mrs Smith/Texas Chainsaw Massacre/What Dreams May Come/As Good As It Gets - walk outs all!

1) Titanic
How the hell is this the highest-grossing movie ever when SO many of us here have never seen it?

2) Seven Samuri
Like someone else here said, it's always rented/stolen from the video store.

3) Tombstone
Urrghhh. And I saw this in the cinema too. Why God, why?

1) The Saw Movies, I saw the trailer for the first one, and one day I find out that theres 3? now 4??? The premise didn't seem that durable.
2)Silence of the Lambs (I know, wtf right? I love Hopkins)
3) I pray every night to the god I don't believe in that he'll give me back the time I wasted watching the Devils Rejects. My prayers are never answered, in fact sometimes, fing memories come up..mostly when people bring up the "oh I saw the most awful movie there other night" conversation.

1) The movie you are proud to say you've never seen? Showgirls
2) The movie you are embarrassed to say you've never seen? Lawrence of Arabia
3) The movie you've seen but desperately wish you could undo? Stardust (The movie that "outs" Robert DeNiro as a complete fraud of an actor)

I have a suggestion for an afternoon comment diversion: The Twilight Zone - movies that make you feel like you're in an alternate universe because everybody except you seems to love them. I'm going to throw in early votes for Juno and Ratatouille.

I truly do not understand the hatred of "Titanic". There are far, FAR worse films out there. It strikes me that it's become one of those movies that is hip to say you've never seen or that you "hated". If nothing else the movie is a stunning technical achievement, beautifully shot, and well acted (for the most part). The script is clunky at times but the ship is truly brought to life. Furthermore, it is difficult to adequately mock Billy Zane's performance without haivng seen it.

1) pretty woman
2) 8 1/2
3) american psycho

It's cool, Skittimus...I know you meant that in the best of ways. Honestly, you've logged cool points with me for knowing what I'm talking about and expressing my disgust in creative ways I hadn't thought of. Release the anger (or just drink more, either or)!

Adere. You are a horrible, horrible person.

1. Crash
2. Apocalypse Now
3. Shallow Hal

What can I say, Shadows? I'm in camp dog-people.

It was "something else" than what I had seen before, I was young and impressionable.

I guess it's the sheer audacity presented by Korine just for making such a movie that made me appreciate it.

But let us not be divided over some indie movie, and may alcohol unite us all.

1) The movie you are proud to say you've never seen? The Waterboy. in his heyday, somehow, you fools made Adam Sandler into the most pathetic excuse for a movie star in this pale, pathetic piece of bile that only interested me because i wanted to know why someone like Fairuza Balk would to say yes to it. 10 years later and i still can't bring myself to see it.
2) The movie you are embarrassed to say you've never seen? Slacker. I've always wanted to, but again, the damn criterion edition is always sold out when i go to get it. does anyone know if it's out of print?
3) The movie you've seen but desperately wish you could undo? ah, that would be Rosalie Goes Shopping. i don't even think ashton kutcher could make something this retarded.

Proud: The Passion of the Christ I mean, Jeezy Creezy, wtf why would you want to watch this?
Embarrassed: Casablanca I'll get to it, I swear!
Can't Undo: High School Musical 2 I love my wife, but why does she subject me to this junk?

That 70's drive-in double feature homage by Tarantino.

Lawrence of Arabia

Knocked Up

Melody - was the scene the soap + beating = sobbing scene? Was it? Yeah I can never watch it again due to that part - I do retain a little tenderness and compassion in my heart...

The scene with the little kid. But, that movie is part of the reason for my love of Gunney from Mail Call on the History Channel.

But let us not be divided over some indie movie, and may alcohol unite us all.

Awww....I can't stay mad at you.

Especially when you bring up the pajibite's favorite pasttime....

Rob, if only because it's a searing example of budget over soul. And for the record i'm not remotely hip (and no longer pretend to be).

Proud: Transformers, Underdog, and Bridge to Terabithia. Fuck you, Hollywood. There's no way way I'm letting you rape my childhood.

Embarrassed: Citizen Kane, The Godfather.

I wish I could undo: Blair Witch II. Please, people, don't ever watch this film. There is nothing good about it. There isn't even a "it's so bad you can make fun of it," quality. It's just HORRIBLE.

Proud: Night at the Museum
Embarrassed: Holes
Wish I Could Undo: (Melissa reminded me of this) Blair Witch II. I, too, have falled victim. I'm a sucker, what can I say.

1- Any Spiderman sequel (I was dragged kicking and screaming to the first one)

2- The Gods Must Be Crazy

3- Made in America with Ted Danson and Whoopi Goldberg. This is by far the worst movie ever made. Worse than Manos: The Hands of Fate.

Proud: Anything torture-porn. Ugh.

Embarrassed: Juno or Brick (I really want to see both)

Undo: Fucking Kung Pow. God.

Proud - Any Adam Sandler or Rob Schneider abomination.

Embarrassed - Lawrence of Arabia and Dr. Zhivago for "classics"

Sorry - I saw something called "We are the Strange"
