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.
I'm so disappointed you haven't seen your Uncle Jeff in a horror movie.......
ReplyDeleteSkip Tom Cruise since he's such a nut.
But I do think you "need" to see Casablanca. It's really short and really good!
If you don't watch/haven't watched Sex in the City, I don't think you need to see the movie.
ReplyDeleteI've found that the more people yell at me to see something, the less I want to see it (I have never watched more than a handful of Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes, for example). I think you should watch what you want to watch, frankly. I will note that many of these are considered classics for a reason, but if they're not in your sphere of interest than you shouldn't feel bad about telling these people to shove it.
