Oh, that's a great one.

It was one of those movies my dad would always watch on cable, but whenever I got around to it, I’d always catch the tail-end of the movie. I’m not in as much of a rush to watch it as other great films I’ve put on the backburner for later like Heat, Eraserhead, or Moonlight, but it is one I probably owe myself to watching someday.

Whoa. Dude. 

Ghostbusters movies are the shit. 

Indiana Jones movies are awesome, except the last one. That was a total piece of shit.

I liked the new Blade Runner, but not the first one.

The original Batman movies are my favorite out of all of them. Michael Keaton was bad ass.

As for Ghostbusters I've been meaning to watch the first one for a long while now but haven't had the interest to do so yet.

Also I'm not really much of a Harrison Ford fan and have no interest in Indiana Jones. Blade Runner interests me more.

Honestly when it comes to old movies unless they're something I've seen in the past I'm very unlikely to watch them. I love Back to the Future but that's an example of an old movie where if it wasn't for the fact that I've seen it long ago I don't think I'd watch in present day if I haven't of already seen it.

Same thing for old games and anime, unless it's something that I had an interest in then I'm very unlikely to ever look into them because older stuff doesn't interest me the same way anymore.

I've missed a ton of Marvel movies.  Just couldn't keep up, and they never stop coming.  Backlog got too big to make an effort.

I think I've only seen the first & second Spiderman, the Iron Man ones (I'm an RDJ fan) and the two Deadpool flicks.  See the Deadpool ones, Reynolds is funny.

Oh, I've always had a thing for the merc with a mouth.  I'd never miss any of those.  Mostly Avengers/Capt America stuff is meh.  I haven't seen a single Tom Holland Spider movie.  I'd like to, though.

When I had never heard of it and it's on my fucking cup at the fast food restaurant and every second commercial on TV is talking about it and online it's in an ad every fucking where I shut it right the fuck out of my planned viewing.  Overhype pisses me right the fuck off.

I didn't like it at all. It was over hyped and overrated.

It's a Wonderful Life it good, but only once. 

Pulp Fiction is awesome.

Top Gun was OK, but Top Gun will beg to differ. 

Godfather is bad ass.

Heat is a good one. I haven't seen the others though.

Despite popular opinion here, I don't like anime.

Yeah, they made a ton of them. 

And it started becoming an obligation for to me watch them.

Disagree on "It's A Wonderful Life".  Sheldon Leonard (later - producer of The Dick Van Dyke Show) is great as the alternate future Nick the bartender. (Hey, look mister, we serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast. And we don't need any characters around to give the joint atmosphere. Is that clear? Or do I have to slip you my left for a convincer?)  And Lionel Barrymore is the consummate evil robber baron.

Pulp Fiction was meh.  

Never saw Top Gun, not a fan of Cruise.

The Godfather series is great.

I don't even know for sure why, but feel that I won't like it.

I'm pretty sure I'd like it and did the bits I've seen, but for some reason never the whole thing.

I'm sure I'll get around to it eventually, seems like an average 80s action movie. 

I plan to watch the trilogy at some point, even though I've heard part 3 is ass.

Apart from decorating the house, and seeing the boy's reaction to his presents, I'm a Grinch, so Christmas movies do nothing for me anymore. I don't watch them. I don't sing the songs. And this year, apart from getting the boy his presents and decorating the house, I'm not celebrating it this year. So, I guess that's why the movie is just meh to me.

Titanic
The Matrix
Braveheart
Literally all the Harry Potter movies
Basically any horror movie ever made EXCEPT: Night of the Living dead (original and 80s remake) Halloween (original) and one of the other Halloween movies, H20, I think?
Finding Nemo
Shrek (any)
Any Toy Story after the first one
The Lion King
Any movie that has Minions in it
Jaws

There's got to be countless more, including ones that have also already been named in this thread, but I think a lot of people are taking too much liberty with the word "everyone" in "Movies everyone has seen." The original Star Trek movies? That's nerd shit. Nothing wrong with nerd shit, but "normies" don't watch that shit, meaning they're hardly movies "everyone" has seen.

Normally I agree wholeheartedly with this, and I enjoyed avatar but it wasn't THAT good...

However, the one time that a movie lived up to its massive hype for me, was The Dark Knight, and specifically Heath Ledger. After that massive fucking hype he got I was so completely shocked that he lived up to it 100%, lol. Don't know if you'd agree though.

Ghostrek is gonna be pissed. But I agree. Star Trek sucks and is the epitome of nerdom.

I'm even saying Star Trek sucks. I'm saying "normies" don't watch them and have no intention to.

But I know it sucks. I've caught some episodes of the TV show that disco would be watching, as I walked through the room and check it out for a second, before instantly feeling like I needed a shower to wash the nerd off of me.

I think this is why I've never seen it. I was actually kind of confused as to why it became so popular.

Even though I've never seen it, I can give you several serious reasons:

The appeal wasn't the plot of what happens to the ship, it is the tragic romance between Leo's character and Kate Winslet's character.

It was hyped as featuring a real life surviver of the Titanic, which was a huge selling point.

All the little girlies loved Leo because he was "sooooooooooooooooooooo cute." (This movie's hype was the first I ever heard of him and it amazes me how he grew to be a serious, credible actor popular with, well, pretty much everybody)

That stupid Celine Dion (cover) song that was massively popular probably helped propel it too.

Oh yeah, quotable quotes: "I'm king of the world!" And didn't "Draw me like one of your French girls" come from Titanic too?

Yes. The French girl quote came from Titanic. 

Leo was in several movies before Titanic, but this role really put him on the map. 

I didn't like the movie at all. The only thing I liked was the recreation of the ship. 

It didn't need a three hour fictional love story. It could have been done based on the true events. There were some very well-to-do folks on that ship. We could have gotten some back stories on those folks. Lead up to them boarding the ship. Give a little insight to the different classes on the ship, then sink it. That would have been a lot better than the shit James Cameron thought was cool.

I believe that was me and Sorce. 😁

Yup! It was. See I didn't forget those words of wisdom. 

Also this robot talk reminds me, I haven't seen Robocop either. I want to though, I just haven't gotten around to it. I like the actor in it

Horror Movies can meld into Suspense/Mystery/Drama genres.  Some might see "Psycho" as a Suspense movie - others as a Horror movie.

I probably mentioned this before here or [asmb] but I saw the original "Friday the 13th" at a theater.  A friend had built it up into this really scary movie and we took some girls from work with us.  Before the first killing, I saw the friend start to cover his ears (anticipating the screams), I saw how bad the graphics of the murder were (I think it was an arrow through the throat) I laughed and yelled out "Rock and Roll!".  A black guy a couple rows up yelled out "That's Right!" and a bunch of people laughed.  After that, I don't think anyone thought the movie was scary.

Screamers is a solid movie he's in but his name escapes me now.

Star Trek, lol, TNG is pretty good actually and a lot of the movies are cool. Wrath of Kahn rules, and if you like science fiction the shitty ones aren't even that bad a watch as science fiction goes.

Yeah Peter Weller! I'll add that movie to my list of things to watch  :ghost:

My familiarity with Star Trek is with the newer movies, which I enjoyed. The cast is too great for me to hate on those films

You haven't seen it? It's a treat. And yes, Peter fucking Weller. The first Robocop is the spirit, even the newest one was campy to me. 

I came into the world with my legs forward. The midwife cried, "My god, he is born with teeth!"

And this feeling, love, let it rest within other men, and not me. For I am myself, alone.

Ouch... That was Forrest Gump's mother.

In the recent movie discussions where that movie came up, I can't remember what you said about it if you even said anything at all.

I mean, I didn't pay the mother much attention....Not sure what I could have said about it....I like it alright, and I may have mentioned that I did a rant in a school debate about how all his shit was made up because he was an idiot and a bit of a liar...Which is why in Nam it looked like goddamned star wars....But I was probably more colorful about it depending on context.....If I even brought that up.

But the award was for "Norma Rae".   The context being that a lifelong TV actress ("Gidget" and "The Flying Nun") actually won a serious acting award.

That's a hot take, and I am intrigued.

Don't worry, I'm not going to ask you to recall what you said about a movie ~25 years ago. 😆
