Small and useless facts about me that, despite their truth, I will still judge you:

I've never seen an X-Men movie.
I've never seen a Star Wars movie. I feel like I've seen them a thousand times due to fans not being able to put a cork in it, though.
I've never seen Princess Bride.
The only comic book movie I liked was the Batman series, though I finally watched Iron Man last year.
I've never seen a Harry Potter movie.
I've never seen a Hobbit movie.
I've never seen Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead.

My brain just does not, absolutely will not, engage in the fantasy genre. The last fantasy movie I watched was The Neverending Story, and it was new.

This is my Nizzy'esque Movie Post.

Yeah, I haven't seen Casablanca yet. I do have Citizen Kane on DVD but we studied it in Journalism in high school.

Finally watched Gone With The Wind for the first time last year.

You can add GWtW to my list as well except I have no desire to see that one.

The Shawshank Redemption - I just can't stand Tim Robbins. He almost ruins Top Gun ;)

I didn't see a lot of the kids movies that were popular in the 90s. People at work will say "you never saw the Sandlot?!" By '93 or so I was onto action movies.

Not really any movies off the top of my head, but if you include TV:

I've only seen 2 episodes of Seinfield.

I get mad at my wife for never watching the original Star Wars.

No movie made since about 1999.

(OK, a few exceptions just 'cause I had read the boox: The abysmal LotR movies and the OK Harry Potter movies.)

It's a weird phenomenon but I hate Robbins too. And Kevin Bacon. And Sean Penn. But I still like their movies. Not even necessarily in spite of them. Re: mystic river

I've never watched Citizen Kane, Casablanca, and Gone with the Wind from start to end although I've seen most of GWTW just from watching portions of it.

I haven't seen all of Titanic or Avatar either.

I went back and checked, and the last time I paid to see a movie was in 2006. I don't use Netflix or anything like that, so it's pretty safe to assume I haven't seen anything newer than that year. I view movies as lousy entertainment investments. For the overinflated price of a movie ticket, which might get me three hours of entertainment at most, I could pick up a video game on a Steam sale that I might play for dozens of hours, or buy a couple books to read for my Kindle.

Shawshank Redemption.

Any of the new Marvel Universe movies aside from the first two X-Men movies. (Superheros bore me to tears; Batman is not a superhero, so he's cool)

Any of the Hobbit movies.... how they got 8-9 hours of content out of a 100,000-word children's book (that I did not like) is beyond me.

He was one of Maverick's navigators after Goose bit the dust. Merlin, I think was his call sign.
