Famous movies I never wanted to watch
 3503  6.6  6.8  Why I never watched it: I know it's a great modern fairy tale, but it's too political correct for me. Too much. Will I watch it someday? Absolutely never. 
2437 6.2 6.7  Why I never watched it: I always thought it's too mawkish. Am I wrong? Will I watch it someday? No. Listening to "Take my breath away" dissuades me from watching. 
151 5.8 6  Why I never watched it: I don't think gigoloes are sexy and - maybe it's because of Richard Gere - I thought it'd be boring. Will I watch it someday? I don't think so. 
3153 7.4 8  Why I never watched it: Toooo scary for me! Will I ever watch it? If I find someone I can hold tight during the movie, why not? 
2090 7.7 7.8  Why I never watched it: It sounds boring, like the other Audrey Hepburn's films. Will I watch it someday? I don't know. It's a masterpiece after all, so... Maybe. 
999 7 7.3  Why I never watched it: 22 James Bond's movies and I didn't watch any of them. Why? 'Cos I think he's the most sexist, braggart and vain character ever created. Will I watch it someday? Nah! 
663 7.4 8  Why I never watched it: Too long, too dramatic, too romantic. I mean, this three adjectives might be fine alone, but together they become a lethal mix. Will I watch it someday? No, blowing my nose while I watch a movie is something annoying. 
1544 6.2 6.9  Why I never watched it: I'm not interested in Sharon Stone crossing her legs. Will I watch it someday? No. 
3144 6.8 7.1  Why I never watched it: It sounds too "yeah baby yeah" and too "ooh ooh ooh honey"... Will I watch it someday? Mmh... Let me think about it... No! 
4656 7.2 7.7  and also...   Why I never watched them: They seem to me too glamurous, like their only purpose was to bring together the most famous sex symbols. Will I watch them someday? I don't think so, it seems to much a fangirl flick. 
4381 6 6.4  and  Why I never watched them: I haven't read the books bacause I think they're a bad mess of stupid legends, so there's no point in watching those movies. Will I watch them someday? No, never. 
1802 6 6.5  Why I never watched it: I don't like weddings. Will I watch it someday? Only if someone will convince me to get married... 
5949 8.4 9  and every other Batman film Why I never watched them: Honestly, I don't know why. When I was a child I used to watch a Batman serial on TV and I really enjoyed it. Maybe I got tired of "him" or maybe I find these films too spectacular than that naive TV show. Will I watch them someday? Everybody's suggesting me to watch it. I think I'll give it a chance. 
1170 6.6 6.8  Why I never watched it: The book was interesting because talked a lot about Tibet and its traditions before the Chinese invasion but the story was very thin, so I thought it would be boring in a film-version. And Brad Pitt's expression on the poster stopped me from watching. Will I watch it someday? I'd rather read the book again. 
5322 6.4 7.1  and also...  Why I never watched them: I watched the first Matrix many years ago and to be honest I don't remember why I didn't like it. But it was enough to keep me from watching the other two movies. Will I watch them someday?: I'll surely re-watch the first movie, and then I'll consider watching these. 
3944 5.9 5.9  Why I never watched them: I was very young when I watched the first film and even then I thought a sequel was unnecessary. Will I watch them someday?: Mmh, I don't think so. Only in case I'd decide to watch the new film (but this is unlikely) I think I won't watch  
3380 7.7 8.3  and also...    Why I never watched them: They don't attract me as well as I've never liked body-builders: too much of muscles and self-confidence take away the pleasure of imperfection. Will I watch them someday? Simply, no! And, surely, I won't watch  
2984 5.7 5.6  Why I never watched it: Basically, I don't like this kind of videogames, and I don't like Angelina Jolie acting. Then, I read some reviews saying it's one of the worst movies ever. Three good reasons are enough for me. Will I watch it someday? Is it that awful? Maybe I'll check it. Or maybe not. 
3274 5.1 5.2  and...    Why I never watched them: I must confess: when I was a teen I used to watch Buffy the vampire slayer and followed the love story between Buffy and Angel. But now I'm too old for vampire hunting. Will I watch them someday? The more time passes the less I think I'll watch them. 
4289 6.1 7  and...    Why I never watched them: I don't like sex-centred comedies, I think it's a low and shallow way to make people laugh. Will I watch them someday? No, no. 
3287 6.5 7  and...    Why I never watched them: It's my fault. I don't like too much adrenaline movies. Will I watch them someday? No. 
3323 5.9 6.4  And every other Adam Sandler movie. Why I never watched them: Simply: I find Adam Sandler extremely annoying. Will I watch them someday? Absolutely no. Unless I change my mind about Sandler. 
2855 7.6 7.9  Why I never watched it: People talk about this film like the most romantic movie ever made. And that's enough for me not to watch it. Will I watch it someday? If someone will ever be able to convince me that there is much more than kiss-kiss iluvu-iluvumore, I'll definitely watch it. 
407 5.6 5.7  Why I never watched it: Self-preservation instinct. I watched the trailer, I watched a few minutes of the film and I realized I could never survive. Will I watch it someday? ... |

Yeah you can pass on Twilight stuff and Dan Brown movies (although i liked the novels).
I was dissapointed after watching Avatar, you are totally right.
But how can you live without Pretty Woman?? It's definitely a 'must watch' for every girl! (okay just kidding :D)
I also say this list is made just for listening to your suggestions about what I've been missing :)
I don't know haw a Johnny Depp fan can pass on Pirates, the first part is actually good.
an alternative name for this list might be "Movies you'll have to turn your brains off before watching"
@JayTrotter: The Exorcist isn't scary????????????
@Lodizhka: I know I should give another chance to Pirates (or other movies on this list). That's why I made the section about "changing my mind".
The title you wrote would be good for another list of mine, Sleeping or Screaming: the worst movies I've seen :)
Am not much of a Bruce Willis fan, but Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber in Die Hard is perhaps one of the greatest villains to have adorned the screen.
L' Esorcista ank' io non l'ho mai visto(di proposito)
Invece tutta la serie dei Pirati dei Caraibi ho provato a guardarla ma x + di 10 minuti nn ce la faccio...
Il momento + basso nella carriera di Johnny Depp(anke se nn x il suo conto in banca..)
Su Depp sono abbastanza d'accordo, resta sempre tra i miei preferiti ma a guardare solo quello non sembra per niente un bravo attore. Un'altra pessima performance è stata in The Tourist, sembrava rintronato.
and the twilights very annoying unless you want to see some hot guys and mediocre effects
american pie is hilarious, but it is all about sex.u could skip american pie, but watch the movie superbad. its like american pie with the kids who want to lose their virginity and all, but its not just that, its the funniest movie of all time.
watch the sean connery and daniel craig james bonds, but skip all the others.
NEVER watch twilight!
Exorcist not scary one bit. its very dated
The Exorcist IS scary, if you aren't fan of horror movies it is absolutely no point watching it.
I would recomme Breakfast At Tiffanys (just fun little movie, which has no connection with the same song title), The Dark Knight Rises and first Mission Impossible movie (it was more exciting than thrilling)
and yeah, and never Twilight, keep strong :)
I think they are a little old fashioned for you:)
The only three on here I really loved that I think you're missing out on are "The Exorcist", "American Pie", and "Die Hard". They're all very funny and entertaining and a pleasure to watch, even if you don't like their subjects or actors.
"American Pie" has a lot of heart and sensitivity. It's not just a dumb sex comedy, and "Die Hard" has a lot of laughs...it's not just a dumb muscleman action picture. The villain's performance especially is very amusing and clever.
In "The Exorcist", I just love all the crazy stuff the girl says and does when she's possessed. It's not that scary. I wasn't scared, I just enjoyed it because I loved seeing the unpredictable demon in action.
That said, I agree with Rebekka, Hepburn's films are fantastic.
The Ocean's movies were quite witty; you just might enjoy them. The Matrix and Dark Knight movies are vastly overrated though; they're good but they aren't all that...
Funny list!!!
I know I have a limited knowlegde of Audrey Hepburn, maybe it's because the first and only movie with her I've ever seen is Sabrina and - in spite of the cast and the director - I didn't like it at all. When I was younger I used to have a definite idea of A.H. characters: a snobbish uptown girl who thinks that eventually she'll have everything she wants just because of her beauty and gentleness. I guess it's time for approaching her movies, maybe I'm old enough to change my mind.
That's why I made another list, in fact called I changed my mind.
About the Exorcist, it's not I don't like horror movies. I think horror is such a complicated and various genre, everyone has his own taste. The devil and vomit are not for me.
Ok, Bruce Willis it's not exactly a body-builder, but he still have a stong body, even if he's old now! :P
I'm glad you guys find this list funny :)
