Movies you "should have seen"

billybob476 · November 21, 2007, 05:27:00 PM

Are there any movies that everyone thinks you have seen and that you (either currently or at some point in the past) wanted to see but never have?

For example, I've never seen Return of the King. I've seen the other two LOTR movies and loved them, but I never got around to seeing ROTK in theaters and though I do want to see it, I've never gotten around to renting it.

Anyone else?

Yeah, that would be "Halloween".
When talking about horror movies with friends, it's a given that everyone has seen Halloween. I've just never gotten around to it.

Never watched the latest remake of King Kong. I received the DVD as a gift, but I just haven't found the time to open it up and watch it. There always seems to be something more worthwhile to do.

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. I was 10 years old when this one was released, but I've never seen it! Sometimes I think I'm the only person who hasn't...lol.

I think you might be right. Go rent it; you won't regret it! :)

I saw E.T. as a kid, but never really appreciated it due to my age, I should re watch it again someday.

This might be shocking, but I have never seen all the Aliens movies in their entirety besides the first one. I really should see those.

Ah I didn't even think of those! I haven't seen any Aliens movie in it's entirety.

I know this is going to be bad.. but I've never seen Star Trek 5, I've seen bits and pieces but never the entire thing. Also I wouldn't mind watching Star Trek the Motion Pictures. I only saw it once at a drive in with Tron and I fell asleep half way through it. Those would be two films I would like to see.

Blasphemer! :D Just joking. Honestly, while I like Star Trek 5, it is definitely one of the weaker films. Same goes for The Motion Picture. I'm a bit of a young'n so I don't hold the same sentimentality about the fact that it was the first glimpse of the crew that people had had in 20 years.

Yeah.. I was never into TOS.. I was more Star Wars when I was younger.. I didn't get into TOS or into Star Trek hardcore till TNG. I did watch repeats of TOS on late night TV, and I did see Star Trek 4 and 6 in the theater and went back and watched 2 and 3 on video. I have just heard bad things about 1 & 5 so I keep putting them off on watching them.. I'll watch them one day. I have too.. or I really should turn in my Star Trek geek card.

billybob476 · November 22, 2007, 09:28:38 AM

Well one thing you missed in 5 was Kirk, Spock and McCoy's rousing rendition of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat". You need to watch it if only for that!

Geekyfanboy · November 22, 2007, 09:31:49 AM

I have actually seen that.. along with Uhura's feather boa dance.

moyer777 · November 22, 2007, 09:42:46 AM

I watch the 5th movie like a comedy and then I am not dissapointed. :)

Seriously though, Kenny, you really need to see it. It isn't as bad as everyone says it is. I got a kick out of several parts of the movie. Very fun.

Absolutely! Light cycles FTW!

Tron was cool.
