“Classic” films you’ve never seen

[ZiggyStardust]

Started to watch Pulp Fiction about 4 or 5 times.

Never got past 30 mins before Im in Z land.

 

[Zico]

Only seen the first Potter film 

Didn't bother with the sixth sense after someone told me the ending 

Looking at IMDB top 250, stand out ones I've not not seen 12 Angry Men, Good Bad & Ugly, Green Mile, Great Escape, 12 years a slave 

I'm not sure if I've seen dead poets society 

Switched apocalypse now off with half hour left 

Don't think I've done 2001 in one sitting, but i will

Get Withnail and I on now!

To be fair, I was called Withnail a lot at uni, mainly because I'm a massive pretentious failure.

You could be in for a treat there, but then again you might just think it's plain weird

I’ve read about it and been determined to watch it just never got round to it 

Was it Luton fans who turned up wearing the gear or am I imagining that?

[Spider]

Weekend at Bernie's. Want to see it but fucking no way I'm paying in this day and age

Only in spirit.

My left leg probably weighs more than old Withnail.

And my Gieves and Hawkes gear doesn't look like it was acquired using a shovel, torch and the cover of darkness.

Richard E Grant is allergic to booze.

 

[mickbrown]

Any Marvel superhero bollocks.

I'm a middle aged man.

[Youri McAnespie]

Most characters who seemed 'cool' to us as kids in the 80s now seem like wankers at best.

Ferris Bueller is a complete cunt.

How he managed to pull that Mia girl I'll never know.

Killer an' all...

Clockwork Orange was good in its day but seeing it again more recently, I thought it was a bit dated.  Luton fans turned up on the Lever End in warpaint more than CO gear, but they didn't last long.

 

Witthnail & I was another i thought was great first time round but not so much a few years later. Still worth a watch for anyone who hasn't seen it.

[Burndens Bogs]

I can't imagine A Clockwork Orange standing the test of time, scenes that were designed to shock nearly 50 years ago would probably be laughable now - same as The Exorcist, just dated shit really. After saying that, i watched Fatal Attraction for the first time in 34 years at the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it & thought it's stood the test of time very well.
