Popular Movies I Haven't Seen!

-
Hey Guys x

So, from my alternative Blogmas posts last year, some of you guys might know how much I love films, and how passionate I am about them.

However, there are a lot of really popular films, that I'm not that interested in seeing.

They're not even the films that people recommend. They're the films that people quote and talk about assuming that everyone has seen them already.

If there are any films on this list that you love, tell me to watch them!

Titanic

I just want to get this one out of the way first, because this is the one that everyone is shocked at when they hear that I haven't seen it. I've seen the end bit when (spoiler alert!) she lets him fall into the sea, but apart from that, I haven't seen anything else. I know that it's a very long film, and I feel like you have to be in a particular mood to watch it. Or maybe I know that it's tragic and my subconscious is protecting me from heartache. Either way, I haven't seen it. I probably will watch it one day though!

The Star Wars Franchise

I haven't seen a single Star Wars movie, I know nothing of Star Wars. In the Wars/Trek debate I am a massive Star Trek fan, but even before I fell in love with it, Star Wars was never on my radar. I don't know what it's about or many of the characters, and I don't feel the need to find out. I'm sure it's great, but I'm probably not gonna watch it until I meet someone who forces me to. Currently, no one I know is a big fan of Star Wars, which may be another reason why I haven't seen it.

The Hunger Games Franchise

OK, this one is completely my bad. When The Hunger Games first came around, everyone was so into it, and that made me not want to watch it. I have this weird need to disagree with people, to hate the films that people love and to love the films that people hate, so I didn't watch it. However, I did read the book, and I really enjoyed it. I liked it so much that I wrote a Fanfiction based on it (which you can read here!) but I haven't yet gotten around to watching the movies. Yet.

To Kill A Mockingbird

This may not seem like a big deal, but as someone doing a degree in English lit, it's weird that I haven't seen this film! Surprisingly, although I've been doing English for so many years now (as I took it for A level and am now doing a degree in it) I've never had to read 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. Most people doing my degree have, but I've managed to escape reading it. And because of that, I've not even really thought about watching it. I do feel like I might make myself read the book in the future, because it's a classic. And after that, I may watch the movie... eventually.

The Silence of the Lambs

Again, this might not seem like a big deal. But as a massive horror fan, it is definitely weird that I haven't watched this absolute classic! I don't know that much about it, but I know that the villain is Hannibal Lecter, a name that I've heard so many times before! This is a film that horror enthusiasts love, so it is definitely on my list!

Mary Poppins

And last but not least, as a Disney fan, it's practically a crime that I haven't seen this iconic film! During my childhood, for me, Disney was all about the animations. I've seen most of the animated Disney movies and I have a great love for all of them. But real-life films never seemed like Disney to me, so I never wanted to watch this. To be honest, the only reason that this is even on my radar is because apparently Emily Blunt is going to be playing her in a new version. But still, I have no desire to see this film!

Thank you for reading!

Comment below some classics that I haven't seen.

    I haven't watched the Star Wars series, too! I always end up being super quiet when my dad (yup, he is a huge Star Wars fan) or the internet get obsessed with it!

    No bog deal about Titanic, but the story line is good. Historic yes, but...**huff** film...? **smh**. You honestly need to watch Mary P, Hunger Games, even Bedknobs and Brommsticks, lollz. Both natural and animated. Please watch these (if you have or haven't), even so, the music. Feel free to listen to the tunes. They crack me up. I was honestly from the Princess eras, like Snow White (physical videos, than DVDs) so, mix that with "stranger danger"... I was questioning Disney on a lot of things. Haha. Stars Wars...love the costumes, I would say watch it for the stories. I NEED to watch Star Trek again. So bad, " Captains Log..." And the tune. Sorry, getting carried away. Haha. So, Hannibal is rubbing off on me. Saw a little of Hannibal Resurrected or something like that, actually, interesting. OK, I'll stop, but I've read the THG series too. Of course, don't go in with high hopes, but go in with the directors adaption/point of view. Still shows what the stories/author was SHOWING all along. Tc. Watch away, and good movie nights **gonna eat** :). Also for "...Mockingbird", same. I'm getting too wanting to know what it's about. Tc again.

Hot Frosty | Blogmas Day 17

  It's Blogmas day 17! When Cathy (Lacey Chabert) accidentally brings a snowman to life, she discovers the magic Jack the snowman (Dustin Milligan) brings to the town of Hope Springs. This is the third of four highly anticipated Netflix Christmas originals this year that I'm including in Blogmas. And while it's not the most original story, I've always loved the idea of Jack Frost, so I was excited to see it. Thankfully I liked this one - though maybe not as much as I wanted to. I really liked the character of Cathy. Not only was she really likeable, but because we get to know her so quickly, we can really root for her. I also loved the tone of the film. It didn't take itself seriously at all and made it clear to the audience that we're just there to have fun. All of the actors, main and supporting, were great. They were so much fun to watch and all played their characters really well. The chemistry between Cathy and Jack is great! You really want to see them tog...

Christmas Holidate | Blogmas Day 19

  It's Blogmas day 19! When Holly (Jasmine Burke) uses her company's app to find a date to bring home for the holidays, a glitch in the app causes more than one date to turn up. This film had an interesting premise because it seemed really original, and it looked like there would be a lot of chances for fun and humour. I didn't end up liking it as much as I wanted to. But one thing I liked was how much more modern it felt than most of the other movies I've watched for Blogmas this year. Even just the idea of her finding her date(s) through an app is original for a Christmas film. It's nice that the movie was family-focused, but the family it focuses on aren't that interesting and can't really carry the story. The main couple have chemistry and it was fun to watch them interact, but I never really cared about them one way or the other. And if for some reason they didn't end up together, it wouldn't have mattered to me. It took about 40 minutes for the...

Holiday for Hire | Blogmas Day 20

  It's Blogmas day 20! After getting dumped right before going home for the holidays, Katie (Christie Leverette) hires a man to pretend to be her boyfriend in front of her family. Finally a fake dating trope! A couple of the films this year have played with the theme, but this one really goes for it and I love that! But as much as I loved the premise, the film didn't really live up to it. However, one thing I loved as much as I loved the premise was Katie. Right from the beginning she was a character I could get behind and really root for. I also really loved Katie's roommate Sarah (Jeanne Lau) and I wish she had been given more to do, and more of a story. Why is she spending Christmas alone?? I tried not to look at the film from a point of realism, as this is a Christmas movie after all, but where was the sense of safety? The main couple are complete strangers at the start and it felt weird to see how quickly they trusted each other. And while I liked the characters intera...

A Christmas Proposal | Blogmas Day 16

  It's Blogmas day 16! When Jason (Joshua T. Shipman) is forced to move for work, and his girlfriend cannot go with him because they are not married, he creates an elaborate plan to propose by Christmas. So apparently there are two films with the same name, made in the same year, and it looks like I picked the worst of the two! From the very beginning, the tone of the film is really odd. It was taking itself way too seriously for what is supposed to be a light Christmas movie. The plot didn't really make much sense. A few times throughout the film there was a point made that the character didn't want to be with his girlfriend, and had actually requested a be transferred to get away from her. So why are we watching him plan a proposal? Why is he planning a proposal in the first place? There were really weird moments throughout the film where the sound quality would drastically change when a character was speaking but not on camera, despite supposedly being in the same room. ...

Christmas on Ice | Blogmas Day 21

  It's Blogmas day 21! Former figure skater Courtney (Abigail Klein) teams up with former hockey player Noah (Ryan Cooper) to save the local ice skating rink from closing. I picked this one because it just seemed so quintessentially rom-com-y that I had no choice! And it also seemed like it would be really Christmassy, which is always important for a Christmas film. Unfortunately this one wasn't as romantic as it could have been. But I will say the Christmas part holds up - is there anything more Christmassy than ice skating?? My main gripe with the film is that I completely fell in love with a couple and was willing to spent all my time and energy on them. The only problem was, it wasn't the main couple! It was the side couple who were given no time! If the main couple of this film had been Beth (Caroline Portu) and Trevor (Matthew Grimaldi) this could have been a great Christmas movie. I really liked what little I saw of them and wanted so much more than the film gave us....
