I estimate that I’ve seen somewhere in the range of 1,500 movies, probably even more.
However, there are always some that slip by. There’s actually a few movies that it seems everyone but me has seen. How I’ve managed to go this long without seeing them, I really don’t know. Sometimes it’s out of principle, in some cases it’s been lack of interest, and in others… well, everyone has seen it and has no interest in watching it with me.
Here are four movies I surprisingly haven’t seen:
4. The Exorcist
The Exorcist is possibly the most popular horror movie of all time. It is practically a tradition for every 13 year old to see. Somehow I missed out on this tradition. It was probably due to my lack of interest in horror movies. I doubt I will ever see it, as I still have no interest in the film. Horror movies have been duplicated over and over, and I doubt I’ll see anything from this movie that I haven’t already seen in other films.
3. Schindler’s List
I do one day plan on seeing this movie. I believe I currently have it on my ziplist. I just haven’t got around to it. I was too young to be interested in this type of film when it originally came out, and I guess since I’ve been of age to appreciate a film like this, I just haven’t been in the mood to see a black and white film about the holocaust. It’s a film everyone should probably watch, and at some point I know I will.
2. Grease
There may be a few other guys out there who haven’t seen this movie, but Grease seems to be a film that every single female on the planet has watched, and usually more than once. I don’t really have any interest or intent on watching Grease, and unless I get forced into it by my girlfriend, I doubt I ever will. I do like John Travolta though, so who knows…
1. Titanic
Yes, that little film Titanic. It’s only the highest grossing movie of all time, coming in at a mere $600 million dollars in North America alone. And yes, a huge movie fan like myself hasn’t seen what could officially be called the “most popular movie of all time”. It’s almost embarrassing… almost. I still feel I’ve seen it though… I mean, I know about Kate Winslet being naked, the big ship hitting an iceberg and sinking, Leonardo being the “king of the world” and so on. One day I’ll see it… just not sure when.
