A List of Movies I Have Not Seen That People Tend To Yell at Me About Not Having Seen Them

There are some movies that people feel are vital staples of our culture.  I happen to have not seen a LOT of those movies.  So, here it is: A List of Movies I Have Not Seen That People Tend to Yell at Me About Not Having Seen Them.  (these are in no particular order of importance or ranking, just the order I thought about them in!)

1.  The Indiana Jones Trilogy

•  Okay to be fair, I've seen parts of it.  If I try to recall these parts they are: That time he switches the gold thingy for the bag of sand, that time he has sex with a girl in a tent, and that time that guy's face melts because he looked at or touched a cup that Jesus used.  

2. Die Hard

• Things I know: Bruce Willis and Snape are in this movie.  There are probably lots of explosions... and maybe it's hard to kill Bruce Willis?  I don't know.

3. Back to the Future

• This one I totes know.  It involves time travel, Christopher Lloyd, a Delorian, a guy named Marty McFly and I thin he has a hoverboard.  There is also a mean bully I think his name is Biff?  

4. The Godfather

• This one my friend actually forced me to watch because he was so disgraced that I had not seen it, but we started it really late and I totally fell asleep (also it was BORING).  

5. Mission Impossible

• This came up the other day and I just asked Chad if it should be on this list in the following way "Do people actually care about that movie? I mean, it has Tom Cruise in it." He just stared at me.   I assume this is about spies.  Also there are tapes that explode, like "This message will now self destruct," see? I totally don't need to see it.

6. Top Gun

• Speaking of Tom Cruise, I totally haven't seen Top Gun.  I think it's about pilots and war.  I'm pretty sure there is a homoerotic volleyball scene involved somehow.  This movie made people think of Tom Cruise as a sex symbol, so I'm not sure it's something I want to be a part of.

7. Casablanca

• I know that this is in black and white, is a romance, and does not end happily. Also there is a dramatic end scene by a plane.  I think I've seen the plane scene before.  

8. Zoolander

• I honestly think that I get the most people yelling at me about this movie.  Which I think is weird because Casablanca and The Godfather are on this list but WAY more people reference this movie and then get mad that I haven't seen it than any other movie.  Which is weird to me because it seems like it's just a silly Ben Stiller film and not groundbreaking cinema.  I'm not saying I only watch groundbreaking cinema, that would be silly.  I'm just saying that it's weird to me that I get the most flack for not having seen Zoolander than anything else.

9. Sex and the City

• I also get a BUNCH of people who get upset about this one.  I haven't really seen the show either.  Things I know: The main character is somewhat "easy" and dates a guy named "Mr. Big".  I'm not sure if that's a euphemism or not? 

10. Any Horror Movie Ever

• I do not like the Horror genre.  I don't like to be scared.  Please stop telling me that I "NEED TO SEE" Paranormal Activity, or Amnityville Horror, or the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.  I don't like them. Watching them is stressful and I don't care if that makes me a chicken.  I prefer to relax and watch a movie not be constantly hiding behind my hands.  Exceptions to this rule: I have seen The Ring AND I HATED EVERY MOMENT OF IT.  I have also seen Silence of the Lambs but I didn't really think it was that scary.
