Pretty Woman (1990)
Why I've 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?
I don't think so. But you never know, sometimes a fairy tale is exactly what you need.
Why I've never watched it:
I've 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.
Why I've never watched it:
I don't think gigoloes are sexy. In addition, I read the
synopsis and it didn't intrigued me at all.
Will I watch it someday?
I don't think so.
The Exorcist (1973)
Why I've never watched it:
Toooo scary, even for me!
I'm joking. Actually, I saw a few scenes when I was a kid and I thought it wasn't that scary but rather a little bit disgusting. It's funny, because I love horror movies. Maybe I should watch it now as an adult.
Will I ever watch it?
Will I find someone I can hold tight during the movie?
Why I've never watched it:
25 James Bond's movies and I didn't watch any of them. Why? Because I think he's the most sexist, braggart and vain character ever created.
Will I watch it someday?
Well, No Time to Die is directed by Cary Fukunaga, and I love Fukunaga... But... Mmh... Nah!
Doctor Zhivago (1965)
Why I've 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.
Basic Instinct (1992)
Why I've never watched it:
I'm not interested in Sharon Stone crossing her legs.
Will I watch it someday?
No.
Grease (1978)
Why I've never watched it:
It sounds too "yeah baby yeah" and too "ooh ooh ooh honey"...
Will I watch it someday?
I don't know, I don't think so. I feel like I had to see it when I was a teenager.
Ocean's Eleven (2001)
and also...
Why I've 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?
It seems too much a fangirl flick, so most likely I won't. But I saw Ocean's 8 and it wasn't that bad. So, maybe.
Why I've never watched it:
I haven't read the book bacause I think it's a bad mess of stupid legends, so there's no point in watching this movie.
Will I watch it someday?
No, never. Especially after I "accidentaly" saw Angels & Demons, such a poor movie.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002)
Why I've never watched it:
I don't like weddings.
Will I watch it someday?
Only if someone will convince me to get married...
The Dark Knight (2008)
and every other Batman film
Why I've never watched them:
Honestly, I don't know why. When I was a child I used to watch a Batman tv show and I really enjoyed it. Maybe I got tired of the character, or maybe the truth is I can't stand superheroes who take themselves too seriously. I think movies from comics must be funny, it's the only way to tell those absurd stories.
Will I watch them someday?
Everybody's suggesting me to watch it. I think I'll give it a chance.
and also...
Why I've 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 re-watch the first movie, and then I'll consider watching these.
Men in Black II (2002)
Why I've 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?:
No, I'm done with this franchise.
And I won't watch
and also...
Why I've 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!
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)
Why I've 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 really that awful? Maybe I'll check it. Or maybe not. Ok, I'm not.
And I won't watch
and...
Why I've 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?
No. I love vampire movies, but only good ones.
American Pie (1999)
and...
Why I've 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.
and...
Why I've never watched them:
It's my fault. I don't like too much adrenaline movies.
Will I watch them someday?
No.
Why I've never watched it:
I can't help it, I dislike romantic comedies. And this seems to be the most romantic comedy ever shot.
Will I watch it someday?
No. I mean yes. But maybe no... I don't really know.
Why I've never watched it:
People talk about this film like it's 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.
Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001)
Why I've 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?
LOL
Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)
And...
Why I've never watched it:
I tried a little to read the book and it was crap. And since the movie is never better than the book...
In addiction, the trailer was absolutely ridiculous.
Will I watch it someday?
Mmh... Why not? Maybe I could update my Sleeping or Screaming list :)
I know they're famous and sometimes are "must watch", but I've always avoided to watch them.
Although sometimes...
I CHANGED MY MIND
