Silent & 'classic' comedy is not enticing to me in the slightest but I might give It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World a try

[wurwolf]

These are all of the movies I have not seen. There are some on the list that I would never watch (The Thing, for example -- too gory). I've seen bits and pieces from a lot of these movies but have never watched them all the way through, mostly because I lost interest.

I'm sorry, you're contractually obligated.

[Tripe]

These are the films I've not seen:

Sigh.

Sigh.

You've got a lot of work to do.  Good luck!

[Tripe]

Yep a movie that seems to only have an appeal in that it uses a technology that I'll never be able to experience. Woooo.

[Pak-Man]

Avatar's only real crime is that it couldn't live up to the hype that was generated.

Or to put it more clearly, I liked it, but I have no idea how it became this big THING. It was awesome, but it wasn't BEST THING EVER material.

[Tripe]

But the big appeal was that it really exhibited what 3D can do, except that, due to my eyesight, no 3D with ever work for me, so what I'm left with is a fairly pedestrian story presented in a blurry manner (or just the fairly pedestrian story if I stick with the 2D version).

[D.B. Barnes]

Boogie Nights
It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World

Watch it on Blu-Ray with the Rifftrax.  So you get the pretty world in HD and a whole lot of great comedy.  It's one of my favorite riffs, seen it so many times when I watch the extended cut of Avatar the jokes just pop into my head.  So many great references, there a freakn Goonies reference for freaks sake!

Oh, and looks like there are 8 on the list I haven't seen at all.  Another handful or so that I've seen parts of.

[monstermoviefanchicknj]

UHF is the only movie I've seen in that list.  Not so sure if that's really pathetic or just pathetic.

Wait, I've seen the original Godzilla and the original King Kong.  That's basically it.

[Kete]

Wow.  What movies do you watch then?

[goflyblind]

i'm gonna guess monster movies. just a hunch.
