    Watching a thing about romcoms the other day, it occurred to me how few I'd seen

    I haven't seen:

    Pretty Woman
    Sleepless in Seattle
    When Harry Met Sally
    Love Actually
    Notting Hill
    Muriel’s Wedding
    My Best Friend's Wedding
    My Big Fat Greek Wedding
    Anything to do with Bridget Jones

    All of which begs the question why I'd be watching something about Romcoms, but there you go.

    This led me to thinking about famous films I haven't seen. I also haven't seen Ghost or Dirty Dancing, for instance, which apparently makes me weird.

    What famous films haven't you seen, AWIMB?

    Most of them. Fillums are over-rated imo. They usually either bore me in 10 minutes or just look crap.

    I can't watch Ghost, it makes me cry myself unconscious. Dirty Dancing was excellent, but perhaps a little... of its time?

    Blimey, there are loads of classic movies I've never seen.

    Blade Runner
    Any of the Godfathers
    2001 A Space Odyssey
    Escape From New York
    Friday 13th
    Texas Chainsaw Massacre
    Last Tango In Paris
    The Railway Children

    I'm actually in shock that you haven't seen the first two Godfathers.

    The others are all fair enough - Blade Runner is silly and 2001 gets shít after it stops being about the apes - but not to have seen The Godfather 1 and 2 seems a MASSIVE gap in your filmic history.

    You haven't seen Love Actually or Bridget Jones's Diary but I don't call you a bad person because of it.

    I'm not calling you a bad person, I'm just honestly amazed. Those films are so much a part of the fabric of modern culture and are so widely referenced, parodied and pastiched that I find it impossible to believe anyone can not have seen them.

    That's why one doesn't really need to have seen them. Offer he can't refuse, horse's head, yadda yadda.

    Oh yes, I forgot those. Are they the Marvel ones you hear about?

    They sound like utter *******s to me.

    Yeah. They all end up with people who basically can't be hurt smashing each other into buildings, streets and cars for about half an hour.
