Films I have never seen

Amelie
Being a snobby and pretentious lover of French Cinema, I'm sure I will adore this film (doesn't everybody?). Although I'm not sure we really need any more foreign language flicks about beautiful yet kooky women*. Anyway, that Tatou bird has gone and ruined herself for me by starring in The Da Vinci Code.

The Da Vinci Code
Is it even out yet? Oh well, I won't be going to see it when it is. But I will probably write a scathing review of it anyway.

Basic Instinct / Fatal Attraction
Not sure which one is which, but I think one is about Sharon Stone boiling a bunny, and the other is about Sharon Stone uncrossing her legs in such a way that we all get to see her flange. (I really must check out the flange one as I have tried doing this in front of a mirror and don't quite get how she does it without her muff hidden by shadow).

The Matrix
I look down on people who say this is their favourite film. I can do that without seeing it simply because I am awesome.

Schindler's List
Thought this film jumped head-first into the plot a bit quickly, starting with this Schindler dude making his list. Also thought it was a bit strange that it only lasted 45 minutes, and that we didn't really see all that much suffering; rather just people being saved from certain doom.

Then I realised it was split onto two disks, and I'd gone and watched the second one first by mistake. Didn't really feel like watching the first half after knowing what happens (spoiler: the war ends), so still haven't seen it from start to finish.

Finding Nemo / Shrek / The Lion King etc
The last children's film I saw was Roger Rabbit in 1988: when I was a child.

Dirty Dancing / Grease
Does this make me a lesbian?

*Which is a shame, really, seems the only screenplay I've managed to start writing so far is a foreign language flick about a beautiful yet kooky woman.

  1. Even though I love movies, I've taken to not watching them recently, mainly because I'm lazy. However, I can talk very knowledgeably about all the latest releases thanks to Mark Kermode's podcast. It's rather embarrassing though when, after having spoken about a film at length, I have to admit to not actually having seen it.

  2. It was Glenn Close that boiled the bunny. And for reruns of Sharons snatch you can always see Basic Instinct 2.

  3. I am extremely snobby about films and will not go and see US action films, hollywood blockbusters, US RomComs, anything by the Farelly Brothers, films with Dinosaurs or Superheros in them, martial arts films, christmas films, childrens films (includes H Potter) and remakes of 70's classics.

    I don't go to the cinema much...but when i fly to NZ I watch nearly every film on offer and have consequently seen Shrek, Finding Nemo, Antz, Lemony Snicket...etc etc who can sleep in those airplane seats?

  5. Amile is very over-rated. Basic Instinct isn't bad though.

    I'm with you on the cartoons. Cartoon Films are for CHILDREN.

    Ditto Harry frigging Potter.

  6. I am sorry that you didn't get Amelie, spinsterella.

    Simply, it is 122 minutes of charm. It's not really a "foreign movie" at all, it's just very human and nice and ... yes.

  7. Dismissing animation as "children's films"... well. You can borrow my collection if you want to discover the truth. :)

  8. Oh no, sorry Ingó, I was thinking of you when I wrote that bit actually, hoping you wouldn't see it...

    You can recommend a film for me and I will give it a try. As long as it's not Finding Nemo. The sooner they find him the better.
