Ya Can't See It All

I'm bored so . . .

In school I took up Radio/TV/Film with a concentration on film directing and writing. I also come from a big TV and movie watching family. But despite all of these things, I'm pretty sure that I have missed out on quite a few films in my life. With the tons of movies that exist in the world, how would anyone (who has a life) be able to see everything. (LOL Can you tell that I'm getting defensive writing this?) So now I'm going to attempt to list a bunch of movies that I haven't seen that make people react with "You haven't SEEN that?!" when I tell them. Ready? Ok, here it goes . . . (Deep breath)

--------------------*Warning: contains some spoilers*-----------------

Movies I've Never Seen (that are considered classics that probably everyone else has seen).

ALIEN (Last time my family watched this, I was too young to get through it and I never revisited it since)

ALADDIN

ALMOST FAMOUS

BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA (All I know is that Jack Nicholson is in this . . . right?)

THE BOURNE IDENTITY, ULTIMATUM, SUPREMACY (always manage to fall asleep within 15 minutes of these movies)

BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S (It's a classic I've never seen)

BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID (Another classic I've never seen)

CAPE FEAR (Don't even know what it is)

CARLITO'S WAY

THE CRYING GAME (*spoiler alert* I just know that some lady turns out to be a dude)

FATAL ATTRACTION (I always manage to catch this movie in bits and pieces)

FIELD OF DREAMS (I feel like I get the gist of the movie, and because of that I have no desire to actually sit through it)

GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES (Never really watched a lot of Marilyn movies, but I'd like to)

THE GODFATHER PART II AND III (I heard Part 3 isn't worth a crap anyway)

GOOD FELLAS (I bet they're not really "good fellows" are they?)

THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY (And I even named a post after this movie . . . don't judge me)

HARLEM NIGHTS

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (Again, a movie seen in very small bits and pieces)

LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY (managed to see some of Part 2, but fell asleep)

A LIFE LESS ORDINARY (Don't know if this is a classic or anything. Just know I haven't seen it)

THE LOST BOYS

NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (Too young and impressionable to see it when it came out and don't care to see it now)

THE OMEN (Someone said it's still probably too scary for me)

ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST (Figured it's a classic that maybe I should see)

PREDATOR (Just not interested in seeing it)

PURPLE RAIN (I know, I know . . . I'm sorry!)

RESERVOIR DOGS

ROCKY (And did I mention I live in Philadelphia?)

SNAKES ON A PLANE (for this movie to be so wack, everybody I know has seen it)

THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (It pretty much always fades to black for me once "it" puts the lotion in the basket)

THE USUAL SUSPECTS (In my defense, I have tried to get through this movie several times but always fall asleep and wake up at the part where dude drops the coffee mug)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow, I've fallen asleep through quite a few movies. I guess if I'm going to do a movie night, I will need lots of caffeine. One day maybe I'll see some of these classics, but for now I could stand to crack open a book or two.

All right. That's about all I got for now. Toodles!
