Media Center>Movies or TV Shows you've NEVER watched but everyone else has
scho63 02:37 PM 01-06-2023
A short time ago someone was asking about watching shows and when I told them, "no I've never watched that", they were apoplectic as if I had just killed their kid. It stunned them.

The movie was "It's a Wonderful Life." I have nothing against it and I watch plenty of black and white movies but I have never had a desire.

It made me think of others and what blockbusters people have assumed you watched. ( I can say 99% of the people who never saw the Godfather are women)

It's probably grown a lot since of all the streaming shows now for people who don't have certain subscriptions.

Some others that quickly come to mind:
1. Game of Thrones
2. The Walking Dead
3. All the Harry Potter franchise
4. Citizen Kane except small parts-didn't interest me
5. Gone with the Wind
6. Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul (However I plan to eventually binge both)
7. Vampire related movies after "The Lost Boys"
8. Schindler's List
9. Saving Private Ryan

9 Doctor Zhivago $2,363,000,000 1965
10 Star Wars: The Force Awakens $2,330,000,000 2015

I've seen 1, 3, 6-9.

I hate being told current movies had these HUGE incomes. That is because a ticket is massive.

When the first star wars came out, tickets were 5 or less. I remember when a movie was 2 for adult and 1 for kids.

Lost - watched the first two episodes with my gf, couldn't get interested in it.

Any of the talent shows, ie., AGT, TV, DWS, etc.

Any reality shows outside of DC/GR

TWD - been told I'd like this, but haven't gotten around to checking it out

Breaking Bad - another one people tell me I'd like, maybe this year?

24 - watched three episodes; god what a terrible show

Outside of that, any post-2016 TV series has gone unseen by me.
I highly recommend Reacher. It fits your ethos.

Fairly recently saw the first one. Don't plan to see the others.

Never saw Titanic.

My wife made me watch them for the first time about 5 years ago.

Biggest waste of time in my life. I don't see the attraction to any of it.

I've seen all of them except for Sound of Music. My favorites are Star Wars and Doctor Zhivago. Actively despise Gone With The Wind and Avatar. The rest range from excellent to overrated to meh.

Surprised that Jaws isn't on the list. It's gotta be right up there.

The office

I’d probably enjoy it on its own but the fanboys of that show get on my nerves.

Jack Ryan the series

Bullshit CIA propaganda
