GREAT FILMS OR TV SHOWS YOU MISSED

edited June 2012 in General Movies & TV Posts: 2,341
This just came to me so i said why not:
Can you think of some films and or TV shows that everyone raves about but you never saw yourself, nor do you have any plans on watching these films/TV shows.

SPARTUCUS I admire Kubrick but I never saw this classic.
DANCES WITH WOLVES I remember how the film was raved about and swept the oscars in 1991 but I never had any interest in ever seeing this famous film.
ET sorry I just thought this was kids stuff and I have no time for such nonsense. I'll go re watch Grease or West Side Story first.
MILLION DOLLAR BABY this swept the oscars but i missed it and had no regrets. Maybe one day I'll watch it...

TV SHOWS
Friends No thanks. I don't care how cute Jennifer Aniston was, she never did a thing for me and still doesn't.
The Sopranos I did not get HBO when it ran and I have not gone back to watch it on DVD. Just have no interest in it. I like the gangster genre but I'm not a fan of that star-Garfolo(did I get his name right?)
I look at his countenace and want to barf like a chicken.

    I hold my head up high even to this day in my pride that I've never watched Sex in the City.

    Lost (watched it until it went to Sky, got Sky a year or two later, thought it had gone downhill so stopped watching, I need to catch up).

    Also everyone says the original Star Wars films are amazing so I should watch them. Also, Timecop.
