I have never seen any of the Star Wars films and have no interest in doing so .

Until last year I had never seen The Sound Of Music ( actively avoided it in fact ) and only watched it then because we were visiting Salzburg .

Never seen any of The Godfather trilogy nor Pulp Fiction.

harrigran Thu 23-Apr-20 10:17:25

Have tried to watch Harry Potter and Lord of the rings but every time I fall asleep, just too far fetched to hold my attention.
I don't think I have seen Star wars, if I did it didn't register.

Wenz Thu 23-Apr-20 10:16:05

None of the Star Wars or Titanic. Watched Harry Potters movies at least 3 times each!

Lizzies Thu 23-Apr-20 10:15:55

Dirty Dancing. I think the title put me off, despite quite liking Patrick Swayze.

crazygranny Thu 23-Apr-20 10:15:20

All my children say I MUST watch Forrest Gump. Still not managed that yet!

RosesAreRed21 Thu 23-Apr-20 10:12:50

Never watched any of the Harry Potter ones - and never want too

NoddingGanGan Thu 23-Apr-20 10:08:19

I've never even heard of the 'Fast and Furious' films! confused

Craftycat Thu 23-Apr-20 10:07:47

Seems a popular choice but I have never seen Sound of Music either. Never wanted to & never will. I dislike the music from it too.
However I have seen the last few minutes of it LOADS of times when turning on TV for the programme on after it.
Not seen a Rocky either or many war films .
DH & I have totally different tastes although he did get me to watch Pulp Fiction recently & I loved it!

Never seen Titanic but then I'm not much of a romantic.

GrandmasueUK Wed 22-Apr-20 16:35:36

I've never seen the DieHard films, Indiana Jones or Back to the Future, no inclination to see any of the Marvel films either.

AGAA4 Wed 22-Apr-20 14:45:40

My DG wanted me to watch Harry Potter with her. Wasn't keen but ended up looking forward to our Harry Potter night.

Started watching the Shining but found it disturbing so was turned off

quizqueen Wed 22-Apr-20 14:43:30

Only saw the first Harry Potter film and that told me not to bother seeing the others, and one Daniel Craig Bond film was also enough. I do like Sci Fi but not am interested in any of the Marvel films. Likewise, not seen Fast and Furious and don't watch horror either. I haven't seen the Postman with KC but that was a big flop.

mrswoo Wed 22-Apr-20 14:36:49

I've never seen The Sound of Music either and have absolutely no desire to do so. I dont really know what I've got against it but it just doesn't appeal to me.
I've only seen a bit of a Star Wars film - my son is a huge fan and when he was about 14 I thought it would be nice for he and I to go to see one together. After about 10 minutes I fell asleep and, much to my son's mortification, started snoring. Very loudly.

travelsafar Wed 22-Apr-20 14:19:17

Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Starwars and the Avenger type films. Cant stand horror films of any type either.

SalsaQueen Wed 22-Apr-20 14:17:23

I don't like musicals, nor science fiction, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, or animated films.

One of the worst films I watched recently was the Dr Doolittle one starring Robert Downey. Poor. So boring and badly written.

tanith Wed 22-Apr-20 10:14:56

Never seen Sound of Music either or any Rocky films or Jungle Book, Lion King or Frozen not keen on any animations.

May7 Wed 22-Apr-20 10:02:23

I went to cinema to watch one flew over the cuckoo's nest and had to leave. It was just so disturbing to watch and people were laughing. I was so upset. MY date thought I was over reacting. Dumped him quick enough.
I would probably appreciate the humour in it now but not when I was a young un

Oopsminty Wed 22-Apr-20 09:47:54

I'm another who hasn't seen any Lord of the Rings and I never will

I've not seen The Wizard of Oz

And I've not seen Grease. I was a disco diva when Saturday Night Fever came out. Loved it. Was horrified when John Travolta went all 50's so have refused to watch it ever since.

GrannyGravy13 Wed 22-Apr-20 09:45:58

Never seen Titanic, or any Horror films since the Exorcist, never watched any of The Fast and Furious franchise or any other violent films.

Coolgran65 Wed 22-Apr-20 09:35:07

The Hobbit. Give me the creeps.

I visited the hotel used in The Shining on Mount Hood in Oregon. Still a hotel. Impressive.

TerriBull Wed 22-Apr-20 09:21:40

I hate "Star Wars", all of them, not a science fiction fan, except the first "Alien" which had me on the edge of my seat. Went to see the first Star Wars ever in my youth completely underwhelmed, as I was by the subsequent ones, dragged along to see with my ex. Then years later I was obliged to take my children to see the first of the prequels, fell asleep, I did that a lot in films I took the kids to see if they weren't my cup of tea, except the Pixar ones, especially Toy Story which I think I loved more than they did. Anyway, happily as they got older they could take themselves off to see The Star Wars shite with their friends.

I've never seen "The Shining" I really should look out for it on tv.

Missed "Gladiator" at the cinema, finally saw it when it went to video and regretted I didn't see it on the big screen, epic films need that to do justice to them imo.

Action man Marvel type films are not my cup of tea at all have no inkling to see that genre, the trailers are bad enough hmm

vampirequeen Wed 22-Apr-20 08:45:49

I've not seen any of the Fast and Furious films and I want the words, "She never watched Titanic" etched on my gravestone.

Pittcity Wed 22-Apr-20 08:37:52

I've not watched any James Bond after Sean and Roger. Not seen any Marvel films either.
I love Star Wars and Harry Potter though!

LullyDully Wed 22-Apr-20 07:43:52

I did see one Marvel film last year as my GD's birthday treat....never again. Excitingly boring.

ginny Wed 22-Apr-20 07:32:49

Never watched or only seen odd bits of.....
Star Wars, Harry Potter, James Bond.
I’m sure there are others but can’t think of them at the moment.
