The Best Movies I've Never Seen
By BooMama.
For most of my life I've tried to stay relatively up-to-date with what's going on in the way of entertainment. It's a habit that I cultivated when I was a teenager and kept a running mental list of any noteworthy movies, TV shows, albums, or books that were on the horizon. Back then I saw most movies while they were still playing in theatres, and if a show was popular with critics, you'd better believe that I was watching it. Apparently I just decided to make entertainment one of my hobbies.
Granted, it's not a typical hobby, but I reckon it served me fairly well.
Over time, though, I noticed that every once in awhile, when something was super, crazy popular – when the whole world seemed abuzz about a certain movie or show or whatever – I would find some reason not to jump on the pop culture bandwagon. And whether the cause was a streak of stubborn, a fear of being overly moved (or confused) by the plot, or an unspoken pressure to like a movie or TV show as much as everybody else, the end result has been that there are some gaping holes in my personal viewing history.
I daresay that there are some places of flat-out rebellion.
So, at the risk of embarrassing myself, here's my list of cinematic treasures that I've, you know, never seen.
Oh my word I'm nervous about this.
I do hope that we can continue to be Internet friends.
The Godfather
First of all, I know that this movie is one of Ree's all-time favorites, and I'm fairly certain that I have never confessed to her that I haven't seen it for fear that she would have to take to the bed. Second of all, it's not that I don't want to see this movie; it's just that it feels like a huge time commitment because of the sequels involved. Plus, for all of my life I've heard something about The Godfather and a horse's head, and quite frankly the possibilities fill me with all manner of trepidation. So basically what I think I'm saying is that I'm scared.
I sort of loathe myself right now. Just so you know.
As a general rule, I do not enjoy a grand, epic, sweeping romantic film. The one exception to this rule is Pride and Prejudice, and that should be perfectly understandable because, well, Mr. Darcy. Anyway, when Titanic came out, the whole world went crazy over Leonardo DiCaprio, and you couldn't make a two-minute trip to the grocery store without hearing "My Heart Will Go On." Eventually I decided that there was no way that the movie could possibly live up to the hype, and I figured that I'd catch it on DVD. Only I never followed through with that. And now over fifteen years have passed and I still haven't seen it.
By the way, do you know what most people do when you admit that you've never seen Titanic?
They clutch their throats. And they gasp.
The Notebook
This one falls into the same camp as Titanic for me. And I know, I know – it's wonderful and Ryan Gosling and it's so romantic and Ryan Gosling and I'd love it to pieces because oh my word RYAN GOSLING. I can't commit, though. Because what if I watch it and I don't shed a tear and it turns out that I am in fact dead inside? I mean, I know I'm not really dead inside, but I so desperately want to love this movie with the same intensity that most of my friends do – and honestly it's just easier to play the "haven't seen it" card than to watch it and have to explain why I don't like it. Unless it turned out that I did like it. But at this point that outcome would pretty much turn my whole world upside down.
Two words: swords and fighting. And also: man-skirts with minimal coverage. Not my cup-o-cinematic-tea, I'm sad to say.
The Blind Side
Of the five movies I've mentioned, my relationship with this movie is probably the most complex. I want to see it. I want to love it. I want to walk away with a renewed faith in the power of love and the difference that just one person can make.
But I fear the ugly cry.
And if you had been present when I first saw Rudy back in the early 90s, you would understand why. I didn't just get a little teary-eyed; I wept uncontrollably. Since then I have tried to guard my heart against the crowd-pleasing sports movie, primarily because I don't seem to have the emotional make-up to handle it. So in the interest of not disturbing other theatre patrons and/or my neighbors, I have managed to avoid The Blind Side.
Now of course I don't over-think every single movie or TV show that I watch – that would be exhausting and leave precious little time for, well, movies and TV. But these five movies come up in conversation fairly frequently, so I've had to account for my cinema shortcomings on more than one occasion.
But I'm going to try to do better. Yes ma'am I am.
So what about y'all? Are there any movie bandwagons you've just flat-out refused to jump aboard? What are the best movies that you've never seen?

Loved reading your comments. BTW, Mr Darcy is from Pride and Prejudice, not Sense and Sensibility. I'm a huge S and S fan… and only recently watched the other… and fell in love with it too!
CarlyW On Monday, February 4 at 8:11 am
Mr. Darcy was in Pride and Prejudice, not Sense and Sensibility. Haha. Of all the movies you've mentioned, the only one that is really sad is Gladiator. It's a great movie.
Emilie C. On Monday, February 4 at 4:16 pm
I agree. The others I'm ok with, but Gladiator…ah…gotta see that, cup o' tea or not. (And really The Godfather, if only because it's cinematic history.) But I support a healthy rebellion! Don't listen to me!
Susan On Tuesday, February 5 at 9:55 am
You have got to see Gladiator, one of my favorite movies it is not about swords and skimpy man skirts (it that would make you watch it more) it is completely about love. Love of family, love of country and keeping commitments made to both. The swords are just so the wives don't have to watch it alone.
Georgia C On Tuesday, February 5 at 3:52 pm
Did BooMama change her post or is everyone reading it wrong about Mr. Darcy?
Sandy On Wednesday, February 6 at 2:23 pm
Gladiator is a must see, it is about love, and good vs. evil, and history. Russell Crowe is fantastic in this movie. It's like a Shakespearean tragedy. Not your usual sword fighting movie.
Ally On Sunday, February 10 at 11:38 am
I think you're making a mistake, too, about refusing to see Gladiator. The story, the acting, the cinematography, the light, the physicality – it's all quite beautiful.
Rochelle Hershberger On Monday, February 4 at 8:13 am
I have only ever seen the most recent Rocky, Lethal Weapon and Die Hard Movies. Well, I recently saw the first Rocky but I put it off for a long time. And every time I let people know that I haven't seen the first several Die Hard movies they look at me like I lost my head or something
carly-fries On Tuesday, February 5 at 7:35 am
I've never seen those either! I call them man-movies.. they just don't interest me. I've also never seen a Lord of the Rings movie, or any Star Wars or Star Trek. Or the Godfathers.. My boyfriend thinks I'm nuts!
Megan B On Monday, February 4 at 8:15 am
Don't bother with The Notebook. Is Ryan Gosling beautiful and adorable? Yes. Is he these things in all those "Hey Girl" memes? Yes. Look at those instead.
I have never seen The Sound of Music. I don't really like history very much (although Gladiator is epic and worth a shot), and I'm not crazy about musicals. So even though it's the classic of classics, I have no desire to see it.
(P.S. You'll still live a completely full life without seeing Titanic, also. Their "grand love" lasts about 3 days. Pfffffftttt.)
Rene' On Monday, February 4 at 8:53 am
When I was in high school, my family took in two inner city boys ((age 15 and 16) whose mothers no longer "wanted" them. When we watched Blind Side my parent's both literally wept in the movie theater. That movie was our life.
Carol Y On Tuesday, February 5 at 12:02 am
The Sound of Music is the only musical I have ever been able to stand and I've seen it several times – totally worth it. There was a pretty good documentary about the Von Trapp family too, that you might want to catch instead.
Megan B On Wednesday, February 6 at 11:28 am
Carol – I may have to do that. Thanks!
Charity@TheHomeschoolExperiment On Thursday, February 7 at 12:48 pm
Oh, The Sound of Music is so great. My kids even like the singing and dancing parts. Warning: Will make you want to visit Austria. Maybe you could pretend it has nothing to do with history–such a great story.
Danielle On Friday, February 8 at 9:23 am
Having lived in Austria, I can tell you that The Sound of Music is not historically accurate and that most Austrians haven't even seen it. They do tours of where it was toured only for the Americans that show up.
That being said, it's a great story and one of the few musicals my husband loves – so much that he insisted on buying it on dvd.
Sabra On Sunday, February 10 at 7:43 pm
Anyone who hasn't seen THE SOUND OF MUSIC will not be permitted into Heaven.
Laura in Texas On Monday, February 4 at 8:17 am
I'm with you BooMama. I've not seen four of the movies (Titanic I've seen, but come on Rose, share the door) for some of the same reasons as you (horse heads, ugly cry and man skirts). I have seen bits and pieces of a few when flipping through the channels and that didn't compel me. There's at least two of us in this together!!
Ashlee On Monday, February 4 at 9:12 am
"come on Rose, share the door" – THIS cracked me up. For real, why didn't she just scooch over?
And I agree with Megan B. Do not bother with The Notebook. Unless you like violently crying until your face swells.
Tess in TN On Monday, February 4 at 9:35 am
And I thought I was the only one this side of Saturn that has not seen "Titanic"……:)
RENEE FROM TENNESSEE On Monday, February 4 at 11:17 am
I so agree with you !!! I've NEVER forgiven Rose for not sharing the door, and when he dies, she just pushes him under ! Agh!!!
Red On Monday, February 4 at 2:35 pm
I've not seen Titanic either. Thought "I" was the only one….and I get the same reaction "(gasp) you really haven't seen it?" I do love a good sob story…like…I cry my eyes out on Armageddon and Step Mom.
Loribelle On Monday, February 4 at 6:41 pm
This is GREAT- here I thought I was the "only" one who hadnt seen Titanic- thanks for sharing. I just couldnt do it- band plays, ship sinks, people die. Ok how is that possibly going to make me laugh??
JConnolly On Tuesday, February 5 at 7:53 am
Not sure if any of you will see this at this point, but I wanted to let you know that Mythbusters checked out the whole door situation and determined that the door COULDN'T have held up both of them. They tried it with two grown men, but adjusted the buoyancy of the door to account for the additional weight, and even though it seemed to them that the door would be able to hold both of them, they tried and tried and tried, but could not both stay on it and up out of the water at the same time. I'm an engineer, so I like to annoy people I'm watching movies with by pointing out the impossibilities. I was glad to have this one finally put to bed though!
Angela On Wednesday, February 6 at 10:48 am
THANK YOU, JConnolly!! That whole "just share the door" thing drives me bonkers. I love that Mythbusters dealt with it, lol. Now, it has been a while since I've seen it, but I'm pretty sure that in the movie they both tried to get on the door, but it started to sink.
Lori S On Monday, February 4 at 8:17 am
The only one of those that I've seen is The Blind Side. And….correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Mr. Darcy Pride and Prejudice? Sense and Sensibility Edward Ferris and Colonel Brandon? (My daughter's stuffed penguin is named Mr. Brandon – and she's 26!)
boomama On Monday, February 4 at 8:29 am
You're exactly right! I always mix them up. But I read Sense and Sensibility. I saw Pride and Prejudice. I'll get it corrected!
Olivia On Monday, February 4 at 8:32 am
Yep, Mr. Darcy is definitely Pride and Prejudice. I couldn't resist commenting- P and P is one of my all-time favorites and Mr. Darcy just can't be confused
Heidi On Monday, February 4 at 10:24 am
I had a stuffed dog named Gilbert, after the guy in Anne of Green Gables. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has done things like this. If I had seen P and P when I was younger or S and S I'm sure I would have done the same thing!
Kelly H. On Monday, February 4 at 3:06 pm
I have a real cat named after Nick and Victoria Barkley from The Big Valley and we used to have cats named Brush and Hush after the Color Kittens by Margeret Wise Brown. I think Gilbert is a wonderful name for a stuffed dog. I love Anne of Green Gables! (which is why I didn't get to bed until after 1:00 last night because I watched the Anne of Green Gables movie marathon on insp network…)

May I just say …. watch The Godfather. Make it an event. Have friends over for a huge Italian dinner and then sit back and watch the movie while having cannolis for dessert.
daisy On Monday, February 4 at 11:02 am
Ooh, this sounds like fun. I haven't seen it either and I may just do it this way. Thanks for the awesome suggestion.
mctrot On Monday, February 4 at 2:48 pm
Excellent suggestion. The movie is well worth the time investment and doesn't require that you watch the sequals. Oh, and the horse-head-in-the-bed scene is short and you can close your eyes. I did.
The only one I've seen in your list is "The Godfather. I haven't also haven't seen: "Rocky," "The Exorcist." or most other highly hyped movies–because they're highly hyped (except for "The Notebook.". I swore off Nicholas Sparks when he needlessly gave "Message in a Bottle" a sad ending.
Gail On Tuesday, February 5 at 8:35 am
Not sure cannolis have a good track record in the movies. But, I would risk it. Just don't serve oranges!
I resisted this series until, maybe, 3 weeks ago. My husband got it for Christmas. I was planning on leaving the room instead of watching it. I too built up an irrational fear of it. I started by peeking at it over a book. Within minutes I was on IMDb. And, before I knew it I was TOTALLY sucked in.
Allyson On Thursday, February 7 at 10:24 pm
Oh, I totally agree with mctrot. I won't watch any Nicholas Sparks after "Message in a Bottle". The ending ticked me off so bad, I won't watch his movies or read his books. I also haven't seen any of the Godfather movies. Just can't do it.
Karla O On Monday, February 4 at 8:18 am
So true on everyone's reaction to not having seen Titanic…much gasping! I have to mention, though, that Mr. Darcy is from Pride and Prejudice not Sense and Sensibility. But all of Jane Austen's work is amazing =)
Amie in CA On Monday, February 4 at 8:20 am
I've never seen The Godfather, either. By the way, Mr. Darcy is from Pride and Prejudice, not Sense and Sensibility.
Karen On Monday, February 4 at 8:21 am
I love a good romance as much as the next gal but the Titanic, was just plain silly. You didn't miss much by not jumping on that bandwagon. And Leonardo Dicaprio looks like a 14yo boy in the movie, not a sex symbol. Kate Winslet is beautiful though.
the Notebook, the best part of that, if you want to talk romance, is the love story between James Garner and Gena Rowlands. Now thats love.
the Godfather, I've seen twice and honestly, the storyline is too confusing and I had a hard time telling the characters apart.
Bamanan On Monday, February 4 at 9:38 am
Karen – with The Godfather, I always got confused too. But then I watched with the subtitles, and read the names..made a huge difference for me.
Lyndi On Monday, February 4 at 4:55 pm
Karen, I completely agree with you. That movie, Titanic, was a big wheel of cheesy! If they had both survived, they would have broken up about two days after reaching shore. I really don't like "Titanic" (can you tell?). I also agree that the James Garner and Gena Rowlands love story was much more sob-worthy than the story of their younger selves.
Sherri Rattray On Monday, February 4 at 8:21 am
I skipped Avatar…never seen it, not really interested in watching people expoit yet another group and steal their resources. Aren't movies supposed to be for fun?
jilrubia On Monday, February 4 at 9:41 am
My husband and I went out for a "date day" to the Mall of America (rides, dinner and a movie!) and saw "Avatar". I was ruined for the day!!!! It was soooo depressing and disheartening. So it was memorable, I guess. Also, I love Ryan Gosling. Only saw "The Notebook" for him. Ewwww. The brown contacts he wore were distracting and made him look like some alien creature from X files. Plus it's Nicolas Sparks. Double Ew. Go see "Lars and the Real Girl" if you want to swoon over Ryan Gosling. Much better movie!!
AmyRN On Monday, February 4 at 7:41 pm
@jilrubia- You're so right! Lars and the Real Girl is such a better movie!! I love it. It's so beautiful and sweet.
Grammanita On Monday, February 4 at 8:21 am
Interesting….with the exception of "The Godfather", I haven't seen any of these, either. And, for much the same reasoning.
Anonymous On Monday, February 4 at 8:21 am
Just for the record–Mr. Darcy is not a very good reason for enjoying Sense and Sensibility, because he's not in the movie! (Or novel…) He's the man-candy of Pride and Prejudice. Just thought I'd let you know.
Megan A. On Monday, February 4 at 8:24 am
Lord of the Rings. I refuse. The more people talk about them and say I just HAVE to see it and join in on their day long journey to the center of the earth while they watch ALL of the movies, the better the idea of stabbing myself in the eye with a pencil sounds!
Harry Potter, same thing.
Obviously I'm not a fan of fantasy and just general weirdness.
Rene' On Monday, February 4 at 8:56 am
I am the exact same way. Never seen any lord of the rings, star wars or harry potter. I have absolutely NO desire to see any of them:) And everyone says I am weird.
Pamela On Monday, February 4 at 9:22 am
I thought I was the only one that has never been on the Harry Potter or Rings band wagon.
I too only enjoy the real world and not fantasy. Although my son talked me into seeing Ironman and I loved both of those! Could have something to do with Robert Downey Jr..
Megan A. On Monday, February 4 at 10:11 am
Now I do love the Iron Man series and The Avengers, but you're probably right… Has something to do with Robert Downey Jr. And the rest of the very nice looking super heroes. Hello Captain America!!!
Elly On Monday, February 4 at 10:23 am
I have TRIED watching Lord of the Rings. But I fall asleep within 10 minutes. So, it's a good movie in the sense that I get a nice nap during it.
JJE On Monday, February 4 at 5:54 pm
Oh my goodness your comment makes me laugh. I too feel the exact same way about Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and all such books and movies. Must be because I am so scarred from reading The Hobbit not only in high school, but also college. I hated every word of the book both times. My kids on the other hand loved it and all of the books and each and every movie. Then there is the Twilight and Hunger Game series. Best leave that for another day. Thanks for the laugh!
AngAK On Tuesday, February 5 at 3:16 pm
I have to say just no to LOTRs too. The first HP is the best one imho and worth watching. the rest of them get progressively more dark and dreary and violent. I actually fell asleep during the 4th one, every time I try to watch it.
Laura B On Wednesday, February 6 at 9:39 am
Totally agree on these. So not interested.
Lynette On Monday, February 4 at 8:25 am
I haven't seen Titantic from start to finish either! You can't help but see parts of it on TV but you're right, you feel like you have to be totally invested in it or you're cold and heartless or something.
But you should definitely try to see The Godfather! It's never too late
Katy On Monday, February 4 at 8:25 am
I've never seen the Godfather either!!
As for the Notebook, though the movie is good and it got rave reviews – the book is SO much better and a quick read!! Read it instead!
PenPen On Monday, February 4 at 8:26 am
For me it's "Rocky". I can't get beyond the boxing. Not my cup of tea. But I do recommend the "Blind Side". I went with my husband and thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
Mz V On Monday, February 4 at 8:27 am
So now you've stumbled onto my secret shame……I have never seen even one of the "Star Wars" movies. Not the first, or the second, or the prequel or the sequel or the 33rd version of the original…well, you get the idea. I also have never seen 3 of the movies on your list, so I guess I join you in the cultural rebellion or whatever. And I wear it proudly.
Just don't ask me to play anything that smacks of movie trivia. I'll do my part to contribute to a losing team because I don't know anything about Princess Lea or the force or anything like that.
Another wonderful post, by the way!
mandy On Monday, February 4 at 9:07 am
I haven't seen any of the Star Wars movies either! And I don't feel bad about it!
Shanna J On Monday, February 4 at 11:53 am
Me either!
AngAK On Monday, February 4 at 5:53 pm
just watch the first one. it's worth it and enough
DonnaB On Tuesday, February 5 at 7:11 pm
You obviously don't have sons who are now in their mid to late 30's.
PonyFla On Friday, February 8 at 7:04 am
I've seen all the Star Wars movies. Also the Harry Potter ones. Hated every one. Well, hated may be too strong a word. I fell asleep in the original Star Wars movie — every time I've tried to watch it and that's been at least 6 times over the years. I watch these things because the man in my life loves them and I love him. But, really. Zzzzzz…….
Lori On Monday, February 4 at 8:28 am
We sound a lot alike in what we like to watch. As far as the Godfather goes, you will be dying to start the second one before the first one is even over. They are that good. You've got to see the Blind Side. Yes, you might have an ugly cry, but it is also a funny, feel good movie. I promise you will be glad you saw it! I saw the others as well. Titanic for the special effects. Unbelievable. The Notebook – sappy. Gladiator – good looking men, but just too violent for me. Now go watch the Godfather and the Blind Side – you'll love them.
Linda On Monday, February 4 at 8:32 am
The Notebook … read the book. It's SO much better. The Blind Side, however, is well worth your time. Your will be laughing amid the tears.
Anna On Monday, February 4 at 11:18 am
You are so right Linda the book is so so much better!
BJM On Monday, February 4 at 1:18 pm
I so agree, the book was terrific, the movie not so much. Sometimes they just can't capture the book on film.
Becky On Monday, February 4 at 8:32 am
I have seen the Godfather but since I'm a woman I can't quote it or remember every detail like my husband can….I think you're life will continue normally without seeing it!
Titanic, I would highly recommend watching it, but watch in your own house with someone that you can ugly cry with because if there is a movie you are going to ugly cry in it's this one!
Read The Notebook instead of watching it!
Watch The Blindside TODAY…with tissue! You won't regret it!
Christy S. On Monday, February 4 at 8:33 am
Our list is almost identical, except I have seen Titanic, to my eternal shame. Believe me, you're not missing a thing.
BethA On Monday, February 4 at 8:35 am
Well, first, get down on your knees, Sophie, and thank the good Lord you did not see Titanic. That's 38 hours of my life that I'll never get back. In my head, I kept screaming, "Just SINK already!" it was awful. Good grief. But The Godfather and the Blind Side are definitely worth watching. Godfather is bloody to be sure, but oh the dialog. Priceless. Gladiator and the Notebook I've never seen and don't have an interest. So, we can still be friends. Even though you don't know me.
Faith On Monday, February 4 at 9:03 am
Ha! That's funny, 38 hours yo won't get back. I agree, those actors, Winslet and Dicaprio are wonderful actors, but not with the trite script they were given by James Cameron. And it did seem to go on forever.
Tulip On Monday, February 4 at 11:17 am
My HUSBAND loves Titanic! We've seen it way too many times.
Patty On Monday, February 4 at 8:35 am
I've seen all of those except 'The Godfather'. One recent movie that was huge that I didn't see was 'Avatar'. Is it worth my time? I guess if I ever see that it is going to be on TV I might DVR it.
BJM On Monday, February 4 at 2:43 pm
Avatar must be seen on the big screen in 3-D, it is an immersive experience in another world…otherwise fuggedaboutit…it's just an average sci-fi plot that we've all seen a million times. Some movies lose too much of their impact on the TV screen. Avatar, IMHO, is one of those.
"Out of Africa" is another film that is diminished on the small screen, it's still a fabulous love story, but the visuals don't grab you emotionally like they do when they're 20′ tall and 90′ wide and Africa was a major character, not a background, so you kind of lose that a bit.
Almost 20 years later, I still remember the scene when Denys takes Karen flying, the soaring music, the beauty spread before them, a flock of flamingos rising from a shimmering lake…it was heartstoppingly beautiful. You finally understand Denys.
I read the book in college and loved it so that I was skeptical about the movie. I saw it in the theater three times. *G*
CookieD-oh On Monday, February 4 at 8:35 am
I have never seen any of those movies and I have managed to live a fulfilled life. I have also never seen Avatar. People gasp and wail when they hear that. But I have no desire to see it and I'm not going to see a movie just because everyone tells me I have to.
Ohio girl On Monday, February 4 at 8:37 am
hmmmm. When most people say you have "got" to see this movie, I usually go yeah, yeah,and in my head I think you and I have totally different tastes, but I must confess, all of these movies are a must see. I very seldom purchase a movie, but I own 3 of the 5 so yes, I'm a little shocked to see those on your have not watched list. Here's how they rank in my opinion. I'd watch in this order.
NOTEBOOK (MUST WATCH!!!) Did you read the book? OH my both are extraordinary.
Blind Side (Best Sandra Bullock movie, ever!) Plus it's a true story, that makes it rank even higher in my book.
Titanic – Just bite the bullet and watch it. You'll be glad you did!
Godfather – One that every person needs in their movie repotoir
Gladiator – Well this one is just eye candy, skirt or no skirt!
BJM On Monday, February 4 at 3:02 pm
Re Gladiator, I'm definitely not an action or sword & sandal film fan and would never have gone to see Gladiator on my own. Our offices were in walking distance to a theater complex and the Boss treated us to a monthly movie & sushi outing. The movie was chosen by ballot. He'd close the office at noon and off we'd go. I had to look away in the fight scenes…but it is so well done and acted. Zimmer's score, oh my, it's exceptional. We all bawled at the ending which I won't spoil.
Maryann On Monday, February 4 at 8:39 am
I have seen all of them. I liked Godfather II better.
I have never seen The Sound of Music either. Nor have I seen One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, The Graduate and Taxi Driver.
Lois G On Monday, February 4 at 8:40 am

Suzy On Monday, February 4 at 8:42 am
The Godfather… My husband's favorite but the series wasn't something I am into. I'm sure I've seen it numerous times but it's not memorable for me.
Titanic… no gasps here. It's a nice movie but you'll survive without it. And I hear you about that song. I grew to hate it and I think that tarnished the movie for me. I like Kate Winslet. Watch it for her and her alone.
The Notebook… It's very romantic and made me love Ryan Gosling. I think it was the first movie I saw him in. I'd suggest it. I don't think it will disappoint.
Gladiator…. one of my alltime favs. I don't buy many movies but this one I own. Don't know what it is about it, but love it.
Blind Side…. I was late to watching this one. It was a good feel good movie.
Anele @ Success Along the Weigh On Monday, February 4 at 8:42 am
The only one I've seen on that list is Titanic and I'm embarrassed that I do really like it but only if I'm in the mood for an epic, which is only about every 4-8 years.
I will not watch Twilight, Lord of the Rings and even though I actually know someone in the Hangover franchise, I can't stand movies like that so I don't watch them either. Pretty much any movie that is a "craze" before it hits theaters is guaranteed I'll never watch it.
Deb H. On Monday, February 4 at 8:42 am
I am right there with you. Other than The Blind Side, I too haven't seen any of these (despite much persuasion, um, well, let's just call it what it is…pressure, from very well meaning friends). Also on my list is Saving Private Ryan and Schindler"s List. I just don't think I can handle the pain.
Danielle On Friday, February 8 at 9:29 am
Don't watch those two. I watched Saving Private Ryan and my husband laughed that I cried through the whole thing – but he, too, felt depressed for days. I just don't like war or killing.
Johanna On Monday, February 4 at 8:43 am
I haven't done the Lord of the Rings/Harry Potter ones either. But I'm pretty sure I can trump that with having seen NONE of the Twilights. I'm sorry…vampires and werewolves?? Can't do it and really don't want to!!!

I thought I was the only one that hadn't seen Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, or Twilight. I'm so glad I'm not the only odd one out.
Kathi On Monday, February 4 at 8:44 am
Hey BooMama- I've never seen any of these either:) Love ya!
Suze On Monday, February 4 at 8:44 am
See The Notebook and Blind Side. You will love them both. I never saw Titanic either because (Hello!) I know how that one ends. Hated Gladiator and pretty much everything Russell Crowe ever did. Read The Godfather. You can put it down or skim over parts that freak you out. Then decide if you want to see the movie.
Janet On Monday, February 4 at 8:45 am
You and I must be sisters or at least second cousins. I have never seen any of the movies you mention either. Just can't get excited about any of them. So I'll just start enjoying the choked gasps of those who have and can't believe I haven't. To each his own.
Kelly H. On Monday, February 4 at 8:49 am
Titanic is the only one out of those I've seen too. I did see it in the theater, but something about seeing the Titanic sink gave me nightmares! A little too realistic for my taste. I'd rather see the Titanic movie with Barbara Stanwyck in it! I probably would like the Blindside, but the rest I don't care for. I've never seen The Birds and I've always wanted to (though for the life of my I don't know why since my grandma and I have a fear of birds!). Maybe I'll watch it someday if I get the courage up. : )
K M On Monday, February 4 at 8:50 am
I've never seen The Godfather either. Of course, my parents banned most movies and a lot of television when we were growing up. I've seen the others now that I'm an adult. I enjoyed some more than others but I didn't think any were spectacular. I tend to prefer quirky, independent movies.
I did recently see The Matrix for the first time. I only did this when the student worker that sits outside my office door told me I didn't deserve to continue walking free on the planet since I hadn't seen the movie. Truthfully, it was not as bad as I had imagined but, I also would not wildly recommend the movie to another person. I'd imagine I'll get to Avatar in another twenty years or so.
I've also only seen one James Bond movie in my life and that was when I was in my late 30s. I got outvoted and since it was an outing with my nephews and niece, I caved and went to their choice of movie.
I prefer books and my own imagination most of the time. I guess you can blame the financial problems in Hollywood on me and my reluctance to go to the movies.
Deborah On Monday, February 4 at 8:51 am
Godfather is a must – forget the sequels. Titanic a one timer, Gladiator no, Blindside and The Notebook are worth the time. One of my new years resolutions was to watch some of these "classic, most talked about" movies. I have since watch Funny Girl, Hello Dolly and Johnny Belinda all of which were worth the time.
pjkupka On Monday, February 4 at 8:53 am
I have seen all of them, but because I am a once a week movie goer I have seen a LOT of movies. However, I have a friend who refused to see Titanic because she said it would be a waste of her time and money because she already knows the end – "It sinks".
Donna H. On Monday, February 4 at 8:54 am
I have never seen the Godfather (not interested and life is short). I've also never been able to sit through Gone with the Wind (loved the book but bored by the movie). I tend to avoid "chick flicks" and historical dramas. The other ladies I hang with don't get it, but I'd rather watch a superhero movie or some action adventure any day.
Elaine On Monday, February 4 at 8:54 am
The first time I wandered past part of Titanic, it was a scene where everyone was in the water. Picture this: these people are supposed to be drowning in the NORTH sea – the water they were in was blue, clear, and there was no fog to be seen. Rose was soaking wet – why in the world didn't SHE freeze to death??? Every other human on the planet would have. Please.
Linne On Wednesday, February 6 at 11:43 pm
Sorry, Elaine, I have to correct you: the site is not in the North Sea (which is between Great Britain and Scandinavia, down to Germany, etc.; where the Titanic went down is in the North Atlantic, about 400 miles east of Newfoundland, which was a separate Dominion at that time and not yet one of our provinces. I'm not sure what the water would have been like there that day and fog IS often around, but the iceberg was hit just before midnight and the ship went down about two hours later. The last passengers were rescued before 9:30 am. So I would assume dark waters (midnight, right?) and likely fog, as apparently when the sun rose, the survivors saw that the surrounding waters looked like a field of ice, because the icebergs were so thick. The only photo I have seen of the site was of a lifeboat that morning, and was taken from the deck of the Carpathia; as far as I remember, it was the first rescue ship to arrive.
Most people who were in the water died within 20 minutes from hypothermia. Most of the survivors were in lifeboats, but apparently some who clung to debris did survive, so maybe she was wearing a woolen dress (common in those days); wool keeps you warm even when it is wet.
Anyway, I saw your questions, and felt compelled to answer what I could. Hope this helps. ~ Linne
Denise On Monday, February 4 at 8:54 am
OK, you must plan to watch the Godfather IMMEDIATELY! You can get to the sequels or not…personally I think this movie stands very well on it's own. Please gIve Gladiator a try, I was skeptical about this one too, but I just watched it recently and it's very enjoyable. The Blind Side elicited some tears, but no uncontrollable cries, because I too, remember Rudy!
I am so with you on the Notebook, and especially Titanic, never watched and never want to ever see them. Mostly, cause I'm sort of a contrary person, and I every time someone freaks out cause I haven't seen Titanic, it makes me dig my heels in more!! But, trust me on The Godfather!!
Beth On Monday, February 4 at 8:55 am
I've have never seen The Godfather either. The other movies are a must see!!
Elizabeth Horsman On Monday, February 4 at 8:57 am
Finally a list of movies of which I have seen all five. Godfather – awesome. Titanic – okay, extremely looong. Notebook – sweet and cute, monsoon of tears. Gladiator – awesome, get over the sword thingy. The Blind Side – okay, makes me wonder if the family/school would take him in if he were a mathlete or highly scientifically minded.
Movies I have not seen: Miracle on 34th Street, The Big Chill, Ordinary People, Schindler's List, Philadephia.
Laura On Monday, February 4 at 8:58 am
I, too, have never seen the Godfather movies or the Gladiator. My husband thinks I was cinematically deprived as a kid. I actually want to see the Gladiator but it just hasn't happened yet. The Notebook is a good movie but not nearly as good as the book, but the Blindside is just wonderful, book and movie. There may be a few tearful moments but not "ugly cry" moments (my ugly cry movie is Steel Magnolias – every time!)
Meriam On Monday, February 4 at 8:59 am
I have not seen any of those you listed except Blind Side. I feel I can live the rest of my life in total happiness if I never see the others. The Godfather and Gladiator – too bloody. There ain't no way. Titanic and The Notebook – too sappy and mushy, give me a break. Now The Blind Side, on the other hand, is funny and feel good, but will also change your perspective and give you something to think about. As well as a good cry. So kick everyone out for an evening, grab some tissues and ice cream (or your favorite comfort snack food), and watch it. Then, once it is out of your system, have the whole family watch it and then talk about it.
Andrea K. On Monday, February 4 at 9:00 am
hahaha I'm so with you on getting on those bandwagons. I've not seen The Godfather or The Notebook and just saw Ryan Gosling in a movie for the first time when we watched Gangster Squad this weekend. And I could've totally lived my whole life without ever seeing DiCaprio in Titanic…so continue to skip it. But do watch the Blind Side. I don't enjoy sports movies or really emotional movies, but that one is worth the view. As for Gladiator, I watched with the hubs…because he loves epic battle scenes in 3 hour-long movies where everyone dies in the end! lol
Annieoble On Monday, February 4 at 9:01 am
Oh Ree, you have to see Blindside! Go Michael Oher! Go Ravens! Yes they won. All the more reason you should see it. I am not big on movies, and never have been, but Blindside is well worth your tears.
AngAK On Monday, February 4 at 5:59 pm
this isn't Ree's post
Kate R On Monday, February 4 at 9:02 am
Titanic was a HUGE waste of time… thank goodness we rented it instead of wasting money in the theater. It was awful. I, too, refuse to watch the Blind Side cause the advertisements made me tear up, so I'm not facing the ugly cry either! The Notebook just makes me roll my eyes, I refuse to watch that one, too. So, nope, you are not alone!!
Rotic27 On Monday, February 4 at 9:02 am
My husband and I are HUGE movie buffs, but I've never seen Schindler's List, Braveheart, Gladiator, or Passion of the Christ – all for the same reason: realistic violence on film can sometimes really disturb me in ways that stick with my psyche for way too long. I can stomach violence in some contexts, like all-out action flicks, which tend to be over the top and thus the 'unrealism' makes it somehow easier to watch. But my husband, who has a relatively good gauge on my tolerance level for violence, has suggested with each of these that they probably would be too much for me. I trust him. And I'd rather deal with the incredulity of folks who can't believe I've missed out on a 'must-see' film, than be haunted long-term by a graphically disturbing scene.
Lyndi On Monday, February 4 at 5:07 pm
I haven't seen "The Passion of the Christ" for the same reason. Every Easter I think this year I'll be able to handle it. It hasn't happened yet. I'm thinking I'm OK with that.
Jessika On Monday, February 4 at 9:06 am
I have not seen the Godfather or the Gladiator for the exact same reasons. I actually own the Godfather Saga on DVD (might be blue ray) — But can't bring myself to watch the first one because it will surely mean watching them all and that's a big time commitment. UGH.
Kayla On Monday, February 4 at 9:07 am
Top Gun. At this point I don't see it on principle. My husband has never seen Dirty Dancing so I told him if he watched DD, I'd watch Top Gun whenever Tom Cruise dies.
You really need to watch Gladiator and Blind Side.
SarahB On Monday, February 4 at 9:07 am
Have to say, The Notebook is one of my all time favs. Sad you haven't watched it
DDawn S. On Monday, February 4 at 9:12 am
I'm not much of a movie-watcher, so there are many "best movies" I've never seen. When I do watch one, I probably checked it out of the library. Those tilt heavily to the classics from Hollywood's Golden Age. I much prefer the movies and stars from decades ago to the newer productions. (And now I admit I still have never watched Gone With the Wind)
Of the five you list, amazingly I HAVE seen over half. The Godfather is a must-see imo. The Notebook and The Blind Side are worth the time. The Blind Side is more interesting, but I like football quite a lot. I've not seen Titanic nor Gladiator and have no desire to watch either. Those two hit me as productions that NEED to be seen on the big screen. I would think they lose too much of their grandness when put on the small screen.
the farmer's wife On Monday, February 4 at 9:12 am
Given that Michael Orr was a participating member of last night's winning Super Bowl team, I dare say you have to see that last one ASAP!
And… no worries, we're still friends : ) I'd never give up someone as cool as you over something so little.
For the record, I LOVE The Godfather; you really must read it if you can't bear to watch it.
Jackie B. On Monday, February 4 at 9:13 am
I totally agree with you on Titanic. I had no desire to see it. Finally after years of griping my ex-husband convinced me to sit through it. I'm sure my mocking of the car scene that everyone thinks is oh-so-romantic (I think I actually guffawed) was the beginning of the end of our marriage.
Elizabeth@ Food Ramblings On Monday, February 4 at 9:15 am
I think you have so movies to watch ASAP!
AshleyJ On Monday, February 4 at 9:17 am
oh The Blind Side is an amazing movie!! Sandra Bullock best performance of all time. Amazing character!
TC On Monday, February 4 at 9:18 am
You are not alone! I have not watched any of the ones you listed. I can add to that list – ET (oh the gasping), Harry Potter (any of them), Lord of the Rings (any of them). If 'everyone' is watching them, then I'm not. Movie Rebels Unite!
Kelly H. On Monday, February 4 at 3:12 pm
I saw ET, but I was 2 so I don't remember it, lol! Never seen Lord of the Rings trilogy, any Twilight or Harry Potter movies, Avatar, etc. Cars and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (the original) are more my speed! : )
Lauren On Monday, February 4 at 9:18 am
You are spot on with your description of people's reaction when you tell them you haven't seen Titantic! I've never seen it either (I know how it's going to end, so…. what's the point?) and people act like I've just told them I like to drown kittens or something.
brigidy On Monday, February 4 at 9:18 am
Of all the movies you listed, I only ones I did watch was Titanic and The Notebook. My" will not" watch movies are the Twilight series and The Hunger Games. I don't know why…except maybe I don't want to do what everyone else is doing??? I don't know why. The movie that I ugly cried (it was a horrible experience – more people watched me than the movie) was "Forest Gump" since then I don't watch anything that will even hint at making me cry.
Lyndi On Monday, February 4 at 5:10 pm
I cried though almost all of "Forrest Gump." It was ugly. I'm glad I was by myself and out of town when I saw it.
Lene On Monday, February 4 at 9:18 am
Y'know… I just realized something. On the movie poster of The Notebook, Rachel MacAdam's hands look like they belong on someone much, much bigger. Bad photoshopping….
brigidy On Monday, February 4 at 7:41 pm
You are right! I never noticed it before, but it does look strange.
Denise W On Monday, February 4 at 9:19 am
I am so glad to hear I am not the only person who has not seen The Notebook and does not intend to ever see it. I love movies. I have seen the first two Godfather movies (my grandfather was from Sicily so that is a given) I think the second movie was better than the first. I was not interested in seeing the thrid movie. The Blindside and Titanic: I already knows how it ends before I buy my $8 ticket. I want to be surprised when I go to the movies. Another movie to add to the list is the English Patient, worst movie ever!! I did see Gladiator, I enjoyed it but I don't care for movies when children are harmed in any way. The wife and son are killed in the very beginning, did not care for that. I see enough of that in the news everyday.
Dustoffmom On Monday, February 4 at 9:21 am
I see I have company in this! Never have seen a single James Bond, nor LOTR in any guise, not Chariots of Fire or Avatar and doubt I ever will. I have seen all of yours and wish I had never wasted time on Titanic. I saw the first Twilight with my grandaughter but none of the rest. Seems after a bit of time passes my resistance to many movies grows deeper and then I have no wish to ever rectify not seeing it. Why is that I wonder?
Nancy R. On Monday, February 4 at 9:26 am
Never seen The Godfather, or any HP, or any LOTR.
As for The Notebook, I can't even talk about it without fearing the ugly cry. I watched it all the way though once, and I read the book later. The book is definitely better. However, having recently lost someone to Alzheimer's, I just can't do it anymore. I have forever sworn off reading Nicholas Sparks in part due to The Notebook and The Wedding.
Ami On Monday, February 4 at 9:27 am
I still haven't watched "Shindler's List" because I know it will just devastate me. Yes, I'm a baby.
Marie M.C. On Thursday, February 7 at 7:05 pm
I saw Schindler's List. I was devastated — the Nazi's murdered six million Jews — along with thousands of gay men, Gypsies, etc. There are scenes I will never forget. I am still glad I saw it. We need to remember the past. The people who suffered and died must know they and their stories will never be forgotten.
karen On Monday, February 4 at 9:27 am
You have to see the Blindside!!!! It is a great movie and Sandra Bullock does an awesome job of making you laugh and cry all at once.
Jes On Monday, February 4 at 9:28 am
I've seen The Godfather, Titanic, and most of The Notebook (The book was soooo much better and I knew how it ended so I didn't feel I needed to see the end). My husband and I were just watching a show on History yesterday about The Godfather series, it really is a great movie that can stand all on it's own.
I've seen pieces of Gladiator and never seen The Blind Side.
I've also never seen Steel Magnolias, Fried Green Tomatoes, The Lost Boys, Stand By Me, and several others that make my husband look at me funny when he says something about them and I tell him that I've never seen them.
DDawn S. On Monday, February 4 at 9:41 am
I enjoyed both the book and movie when it came to The Notebook. I like James Garner, so that helped the movie for me. Fried Green Tomatoes is one of my favorites. I liked The Lost Boys, but I probably wouldn't watch again. Steel Magnolias and Stand By Me are yet another two I haven't watched either.
Steph C. On Monday, February 4 at 9:29 am
I've never seen any of the Godfather movies. I've seen bits and pieces of Titanic, wasnt impressed! I saw The Notebook but didnt shed a single tear…I guess I'm dead inside
I own The Blindside….it's excellent! As a general rule, I avoid movies with too much reality and sadness (Schindlers List) and I've never seen or will see Silence of the Lambs. I need happy or quirky movies!
gina On Monday, February 4 at 9:30 am
The best movie i have ever seen is the Blind Side by far, second is Terms of Endearment (now that one makes me sob uncontrollably) . It's not as sad as you might think it is. It is funny, it makes you think and also gives you a feeling of empowerment for watching it. You are definetely missing out if you don't watch it.
Sara K. On Monday, February 4 at 9:38 am
I've seen all the above except The Godfather. Although I may enjoy some moments of it, it just really isn't my kind of movie (I think).
Christmas Vacation is a movie I escaped seeing for 33 years…until the flu knocked me out in December and I was searching for something to watch on Amazon Prime. My coworkers swear this is one of the best Christmas movies ever…..I have to disagree. I was not amused or entertained in the least. I should have just extended my streak of not watching!
Natalie Williams On Monday, February 4 at 9:39 am
You must see Blind Side, esp since he won a super bowl ring last night. Truly a story about love and success.
Gayle On Monday, February 4 at 9:39 am
Star Wars, LoTR, Harry Potter, Pride & Prejudice, When Harry Met Sally, Sense & Sensibility, The Godfather & I'm sure there's more.
bamacurl On Monday, February 4 at 9:41 am
Boomama, I'm right with you on these. Either I have not seen these movies, or if I have it was WAAAYYYY after the theatrical release. The only exception is The Notebook. I read the book 3 times before the movie came out and I watch it EVERY time it is on TV. My grandmother went through several years of dementia before passing and I cry the ugly cry. Several times. Every. Single. Time. I love and miss you Bigmama.
I was about 7 months pregnant when Titantic came out and just KNEW I could not sit in a theater that long without a bathroom break, lol. I have a couple to add Star Wars. None of them, old or new. I know enough to catch social reference, but fell asleep 2 yrs ago when my son's convienced me I had to see it. And, Jaws. I was too scared as a 10yr old to see it. Last year the local acting theater had a special showing, so I drug my 14 yr old son along and we had a great time! He just laughed at the shark 'special' effects.
talea On Monday, February 4 at 9:44 am
Didn't see The Notebook. not sure I ever will. I will admit to liking "A Walk to Remember," from another Nicholas Sparks book, that starred Mandy Moore and Shane West.
As for your other four, I will admit I loved them all. The only one I saw in a theater, though, was "The Godfather." My senior year in high school at a gorgeous old theater in Kansas City that was in kind of a rough neighborhood. It was a first date with a new boy in my school and, once we parked the car, he looked over at me and said: "If we get jumped, it's every man for himself." He also didn't open my door for me.
The movie was great but there was no second date.
The Blind Side is one of my all-time faves. And the beauty of DVDs is you can cry ugly in your own home as much as you want.
Nikki G On Monday, February 4 at 9:46 am
Have seen them all and all were excellent, but Boo, may I call you that? you MUST see The Notebook. If you have even a smidge of romance in your blood, it is wonderful! I personally love a good sob now and then!
Wendy On Monday, February 4 at 9:47 am
I'm right there with you on "The Godfather", in fact, I couldn't say it better myself. I've seen all of the rest of them. I can't really remember "Gladiator". I do think you should get yourself prepared and just watch "The Blind Side". By far, the best movie on the list, in my opinion. Just do it! You will not regret it!
Lindsey On Monday, February 4 at 9:47 am
My list of movies to admit that I haven't see is almost identical to yours! With the exception of Titanic and Gladiator. Don't feel too bad
Karen B On Monday, February 4 at 9:49 am
I haven't seen the Notebook, Godfather, Gladiator movies either….I have to admit I have never watched Gone With The Wind all the way thru….I know I'm ashamed. Do watch the Blind Side….excellent movie.
Miriam On Monday, February 4 at 9:49 am
Titanic is the only one on your list I haven't seen. And reading all the other comments only confirms my decision to not watch it. Don't worry about not watching any of those others. I long ago came to the conclusion that I will never read all the great books I want to read nor watch all the great movies there are to be seen, simply because my life won't be long enough and I have too much of my own living to do. That's why my list of "classic" movies not watched is a long one.
I will have to say that The Notebook was worth my time. Not because of Ryan Gosling. I love the tender, enduring, sacrificial love portrayed by James Garner for Gena Rowlands in that movie. It's the scenes with Garner that reduce me to a blubbering mess, but they're so cathartic for me. And this is a perfect depiction of truly loving someone for better or for worse, 'til death do us part. (And yes, I realize that Gosling & Garner are portraying the same character. I just like Garner better. Must be showing my age.)
sarah page On Monday, February 4 at 9:51 am
The only reason I saw Titanic is it was shown on a cross-country flight. There was no way not to see it under those circumstances. Afterwards, my husband said he felt like 3 hours of his life were lost and wasted. I felt the same way.
Lucy On Monday, February 4 at 9:56 am
Oh my, this is my first time commenting, but I do believe we must be cinematic soul mates. (Creepy? Sorry.) I have never seen The Godfather, either, precisely because I find the time involved to be intimidating! I haven't seen The Gladiator, either, and I feel as meh about it as you do. So glad I'm not alone in my gaping holes of cinematic history!
LeslieBee On Monday, February 4 at 10:01 am
Saw 4,missed 1…. Blind Side was a winner on my list.
Titanic; had ZERO intrest in seeing it, went anyway. I summed up the plot, to my teenaged daughter and assorted friends, in the car on the way. Got it right, the boat sinks, the star dies, the end.
Stacey I On Monday, February 4 at 10:02 am
I feel the same way about The Godfather! But you MUST see The Blind Side – hands down one of the best movies I have ever seen. Worth all of the tears!!!
Kelly Mc On Monday, February 4 at 10:05 am
Well, I actually have seen all the movies you listed and I am going out on a limb to say, I couldn't care less for the Godfather or its sequels. They did not impress me at all. I would, however, highly recommend Gladiator. It was very moving and well written. It is the best Russell Crowe movie.
I have thus far managed to miss all the Twilight movies and don't really plan to see them. I also have skipped Avatar. All the hype around it just turned me off. I actually was given the DVD by a friend and have yet to watch it. Maybe one rainy day when I am totally bored…
MaryG On Monday, February 4 at 10:06 am
My list matches yours. Exactly. Although DVD of The Blind Side just arrived last week from NetFlix. Still haven't watched it yet, though.
laurah On Monday, February 4 at 10:08 am
I am a little apprehensive about writing this, but I have not seen any of the movies you listed. Not because I don't like movies but… for no good reason really just not movies I have ever wanted to see. I prefer ones such as Mr. Poppers Penquins, We Bought a Zoo, Hairspray or the Cheaper by the Dozen ones.
The one I will not see is 'Hunger Games' because I just cannot stomach the story line and knowing that this is based on the reality of child soldiers.
One of my all-time favorite and much-watched movies is 'Smile'. This movies makes me laugh, cry, and wonder at the good in our youth when given the opportunity.
My 20 year old daughter just saw "Perks of Being a Wallflower" and her new favorite movie now after having anything Jane Austin as favorite for years and years so this MUST be a good one.
Sommer P. On Monday, February 4 at 10:09 am
I've never seen Star Wars. Any of 'em. I had a boyfriend once who tried to get me to watch and love them as much as him but I fell asleep about halfway through the first one (ahem the original first one) and he realized it wasn't going to happen lol. I've also never see any of the Lord of the Rings trilogy… I tried to watch the first one on 3 separate occasions and fell asleep every time.
emily s On Monday, February 4 at 10:10 am
BooMama. You rock. I love this post and can relate to how you feel. I totally understand the "ugly cry." I experienced the ugly cry when I went to see Pearl Harbor in the theater with a friend of mine. It was bad. So bad in fact that my friend and I, who were both crying the ugly cry, had to slip out the side entrance of the theater and cried all the way to our car and then in the car all the way home. We were still crying when we got home. It was ridiculous!! Not sure how/why the movie struck such a cord but we were all kinds of emotional over that flick. Rudy, I totally understand. I LOVE this movie to my core and cry absolutely every time I watch it when he get the acceptance letter and says, "Oh, thank God," and then again at the end when he plays in the game. Very emotional. I also, have never seen the Godfather. I am a little afraid that it won't move me the way it moved others and that I will feel like a loser. Cheers to movies we haven't seen. Take care! Emily
Christin On Monday, February 4 at 10:12 am
I'm speechless. I've seen them all except The Blind Side and I'm looking forward to that one when it comes to my TV. The Notebook. Oh, The Notebook. It's not just RG, it's the chemistry between the two of them. You'll covet the love they have for one another if you've not got it already. I'll say that I could take or leave The Godfather but that's just because it's so grim. I like escapism movies and that one isn't somewhere that I want to escape to. Neither is Gladiator but that type of world is too far removed from our current one, so I'm able to enjoy it endlessly.
I'm proud of you for your admissions. Now, GO WATCH SOME MOVIES!
pam On Monday, February 4 at 10:12 am
I've never seen Top Gun. It's kind of my "thing". And I honestly have no interest in seeing it, ever. It's so ingrained in pop culture that I don't think it really matters. I feel like I've seen it, because I've heard so much about it.
Myrna On Wednesday, February 6 at 12:11 pm
I liked Top Gun and saw it when it came out. But now I can't get over the creepy Tom Cruise factor and don't think I could enjoy it because of him. Strange how that happens with some actors – ah well .
Erin J On Monday, February 4 at 10:13 am
The only one of those I have never seen is The Godfather.
I hated the Notebook the first time I saw it, but I still watch it sometimes when it is on TV…
Have seen Gladiator and Titanic more times than I can count. The Blind Side is also very good!
Diane in Cincinnati On Monday, February 4 at 10:18 am
Star Wars. I was a teen in the 80's when it came out – no interest in it then. No interest when they re-released it.
April On Monday, February 4 at 10:22 am
I totally agree on the Godfather…I've never seen it and don't intend to. I have seen all the other movies or at least bits and pieces of them. I have never watched all of the Star Wars movies and I just can't get into them and the same goes for LOTR movies. I have never seen all of When Harry Met Sally but I want to some day. You need to watch The Blind Side because you will laugh as much as you cry.
Sheen On Monday, February 4 at 10:25 am
MY TAKE ON YOUR NEVER-SEENS (& why I recommend a few):
TITANIC. I only watch the first disc of this movie. That's enough for me; the ship has hit the iceberg and horns are sounding. I know how it ends, and not interested in seeing that part. It's not just the part where the lovers are parted forevermore. It's the cold and icy waters, of which I have an mortal fear of drowning. The first part is worth every minute of watching, especially if you, too, are a Downton Abbey fan (as I've read), as this was how the Downton series started… with a message being tapped on the telegram key. Then, of course, there are the Titanic costumes.
BLIND SIDE. Sandra Bullock is such a perfect match for this role, because she is caring and generous herself. Oh, I think you'll shed a tear or two, but it will be like when you hear a patriotic song performed in a parade, or see a war hero in uniform. It's the kind of swelling tears and lump in my throat I have watching the Royal Lipizzaner Stallions perform. And any of the Budweiser Clydesdale horse commercials – like the most recent Superbowl ad. And, I'm no cry-baby!
THE NOTEBOOK. This is a movie my husband and I watch at least once or twice a year (for couple therapy). We BOTH cry and forget all the little petty stupid things between each other. It's actually a very romantic movie (we think), and it has amazing results if watched #1. without kids or anyone but the two of you, #2 watch late when the day is done. If your hubby thinks it "too girly" to watch, remind him the great Oklahoman, JAMES GARNER, is the main-man. It is HIS Notebook. That's all. Nike-it (Just Do It!)
SUGGESTION: LES MISERABLES. If you have not yet seen this movie, plan to. It is a story of redemption and forgiveness. Of doing what's right, no matter the cost. At least that's what my husband and I got from it after seeing it last week. It IS a musical. After the first few minutes I didn't notice and could not imagine it being played any other way. Critics saying the music should have been pre-recorded as it was too "raw" missed the whole point: it was REALISTIC. (I think it available on disc, however, because of the accumulated emotion of the story, nothing can replace seeing it in a theater. Interruption would break that framework. It IS about 2.5 hours long, but it's hard to judge time while watching.) I would recommend at least a couple of tissues in your purse. And, I'm no cry-baby.

'Sheen' is my favorite today! Really appreciate your synopses — especially on "Blindside".
Re: your suggestion for "Les Miz" …. I'm almost afraid to see the movie; since I've seen the stage play many times and it's in my Top 5. Rarely, have I liked a translation of stage to screen. When I go, I promise to go in open-minded (as much as possible.) and Kleenex-ready.
Kathy On Sunday, February 10 at 2:42 pm
Iris, I just saw Les Miserables last night and do recommend it. I saw the play twice in years past and have listened to the dvd numerous times so my fear was that the movie actors would suffer in comparison to stage voices. But there were some very good singing voices and the close view of the faces pull you into the story. I was reading earlier today on imdb that the director had the actors do their singing/acting live and not just lip sync for filming, which I think was an inspired move.
So not the same as the stage play, but both very good and a worthy translation.
Mia On Monday, February 4 at 10:26 am
THE NOTEBOOK – Please, oh please, watch this movie! You will not be disappointed. Or read the book – then I bet you'll want to watch. Such a beautiful story.
Terri On Monday, February 4 at 10:27 am
Honestly, I thought I was the only woman on the planet who hadn't seen Titanic. ;D
ShellyC On Monday, February 4 at 10:56 am
You have company then. I haven't seen it but need to because of the entertainment quizzes Ree puts up here! But even the chance of winning an IPad doesn't coerce me to watch Titanic!
Monday's Nugget-Lana On Monday, February 4 at 10:28 am
Here's a secret: I hated "The Blind Side"! (GASP!) I really thought Sandra Bullock's accent sounded awful. But "Titanic" still gets me every time. I guess I'll never let go. LOL!
Kristina On Wednesday, February 6 at 8:31 pm
Oh my gosh! I was thinking I was the only one. I did not like Blind Side at all. Didn't like the accent. Actually thought it was sort of exploitive and just thought it was all too mushy. Boo, Blind Side!
BB On Thursday, February 7 at 5:17 pm
Really??? Gosh I ADORED it. OF course American accents aren't my strong suit but that movie makes me feel good every time I see it (which is many, many times!)
Kimberly/OKC On Monday, February 4 at 10:33 am
Have not seen The Godfather for the same reasons you mention. Liked your little funny about "taking it to the bed" as opposed to "the mattresses". My "Godfather" knowledge comes only from the movie "You've Got Mail". "The Notebook" was good but read the book and picture Ryan Gosling…it's better that way. "Gladiator"…who cares…it's a guy movie. "The Blind Side"…good but not life-changing or even that memorable…unless you have some ties to adoption, I would guess. It was a sweet movie, tho. Titanic…worth seeing but ONLY for the historical sights of the boat and the history lesson. The love story? puhlease…the girl was engaged to another, falls desperately for a boy who looks like her younger brother…dumb and not believable, imo. Also the last scenes are soooo tragic, you'll never forget them but I don't know if that's a good thing. If watching old couples fall asleep while freezing cold water rises…watching a mother put her two children to bed while water rises…watching a ship slowly sink while three men play "Nearer, My God, To Thee" and many other scenes of panic is your "cup o'cinematic tea", then watch away. I LOVE Leo DiCaprio tho and have loved watching him act since "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" but he's not at his best in this movie. Plus he's WAY more gorgeous as a man than a boy!! Sidenote: I will NEVER watch "Sophie's Choice". I saw a part of the scene where she is asked to choose which of her two children she will have to send away and NOOOOOOOOOOO! NEVER!

Millions of Americans spend their lives searching for happiness....
The purpose of Wooddale Church is to honor God by making more disciples for Jesus Christ.
Alternative content
The night before Jesus was crucified he interrupted his own time of prayer to spend a few moments with his three best friends. He warned them they should watch out and pray so that they wouldn't fall into temptation. He was warning his friends that temptations can blow your life apart if you give in to them and that prayer is our best protection.
When you take your car in for a wheel alignment the technicians don't bend the frame to line up with the wheels, they adjust the wheels to line up with the frame. It's the same way with prayer. When I pray it is not to make God change to do things my way, it is to change me to do things God's way.

OK gloves
onemission26 is right, I went up one size and they were still pretty tight, but I kinda like that fit. The seams inside were so uncomfortable i had to turn them inside out and trim the seems, once I did that they fit a lot better.
I was hoping for a little waterproof, but like they noted, there is none. your hands will get wet.
One more thing: what little tactification there is on the fingertips wore off in 3days on the mountain.
I suggest buying Grenade liners...still not waterproof, but tactifacation will last longer.
I give a 2 mainly because of the seems

Treatments for Alzheimer's
Geri Hall is a Clinical Nurse Specialist with the Stead Family Memory Center at Banner Alzheimer's Institute.
Question: Are there new medications, vitamins and herbs that can treat and maybe even cure Alzheimer's disease?
Answer: Right now, there are only four FDA-approved medications for treating the memory loss of Alzheimer's disease fall into two categories:
- Medications sold as Aricept (donepezil), Exelon (rivastigmine); and Razadyne (galantamine), which act on the cholinergic messenger system. These are used as soon as symptoms of dementia or cognitive impairment are diagnosed. For those who cannot swallow, Exelon is also available as a skin patch.
- Namenda (memantine), which acts through a different chemical messenger system called the glutamatergic pathway. Namenda is approved for moderate to severe dementia and although it may be used alone, it is usually given in addition to one of the cholinergic medications. At this time there are no vitamins, herbs, or dietary supplements that have been shown to be effective in treating dementia, or preventing it.
Some of these test medications for behaviors are aimed at improving thinking and memory problems, and a significant number are testing new compounds designed to treat the actual pathology of Alzheimer's disease.
In addition, there are studies of some preventive measures such as the use of Omega 3 fish oil capsules.

Staff Report
Williamson Midget Football League began their season early, as they met on March 2, 2013 at the Williamson Fieldhouse to discuss the future of the league.
The meeting was mandatory for all coaches. The Williamson Park Board Members were invited to attend, as issues of fundraising and facilities are directly related to them. Their interest in organized youth sports was evident by the presence of five of their members, Curt Phillips, President of the Board, Dr. Steve Wilson, Scott Poole, Chris Ooten, Connie Rockel and Pierce Whitt, Director.
"All coaching staff has been finalized. Each coach has excellent knowledge of the sport and they are role models and are eager to start the season," said Lori Phillips, Commissioner of the WMFL. Donnie Bishop, last year's commissioner, resigned, so he could devote his time to Coaching The "A" Football Team.
"The league has some big plans for getting the youth in our community involved with organized sports," Phillips said. The WMFL will be offering a Football/Cheerleading Camp during the last two weeks in July, two hours in the evening, four days a week. There will be a small fee of $25 for the first child, $10 for the second child, up to a maximum of $60. At the end of the camp, there will be a free swim day, sponsored by Dr. Steve Wilson, and the league will have many activities going on during the day, including sign-ups for the 2013 season. The WMFL Cheerleaders will also be attending the Tug Valley Cheer Camp, hosted by the State Champ Cheerleaders. This will help in preparation of attending the SWMFL Cheerleading Competition, in November, according to Phillips
"Our Parks Board members have been extremely supportive of our league. Dr. Wilson is sponsoring the free swim day, Pierce Whitt has started the necessary upgrades to the Fieldhouse and Lefty Hamilton Park, which is going to help the league tremendously," Commissioner Phillips said. "Our post season athletic banquet will utilize the swimming pools community center, which will house the First Annual WMFL athletic banquet to include all teams and squads." Sign-ups for the League will be in June, and dates will be announced later. The league now has its own Facebook page Wolfpack Nation."
"Please feel free to join the group, as all updates and events will be posted on their page," Phillips said.
The league fees will be $30 per child, and $10 for the second child to a max of $60. All children must have a physical prior to the 1st practice. If anybody has any questions, please feel free to contact Lori Phillips, Commissioner, at 606-625-0966 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

No areas of rub or tension - it feels like a custom fit. Beautiful cushion from front to back; helps minimize knee strain with each step. The wide heel base is great for us under-pronators.

I voted Snakemen but really would have voted Comet Warriors, which you left off the list, probably by accident.
Powers of Grayskull
Heroic Warriors
Evil Warriors
Etherian Rebels
Evil Horde
Galactic Protectors
Space Mutants
Which Faction needs more represenetation in MOTUC?
My seller/trader/buyer feedback:
MOTUC Most Wanted: 1) Stridor 2) Roton 3) Karg 4) Lodar 5) Mask of Power Demons 6) Road Ripper 7) Vintage Fright Zone 12) Dragon Walker
I voted Snakemen but really would have voted Comet Warriors, which you left off the list, probably by accident.
Griffen Is not My real name, just what I aspire to be.
See My "Griffen Thailonis" Storyline, Bionicle, & Star Wars Models in the links below:
My LEGO Network Page
LEGO Creator 2D Gallery
LEGO Creator 3D Gallery
LEGO Bionicle Gallery
LEGO Star Wars Gallery
Since its all of 5 or 6 figures, I hope they end up creating a few brand new Snake men before the line is said and done. And a Snake Men Man-at-Arms!
I was gonna say NA, but lack of the option made me choose 'Space Mutants'!
Snakemen for me. At least NA has two overall - Snakemen only has one (though, yes, there are more NA characters).
My seller/trader/buyer feedback:
MOTUC Most Wanted: 1) Stridor 2) Roton 3) Karg 4) Lodar 5) Mask of Power Demons 6) Road Ripper 7) Vintage Fright Zone 12) Dragon Walker
I'd like to see more Snakemen members as well. Evil Warriors would be next. Or what's left of them.
since there are obviously numerically factions that are least represented, I went with the (I believe) obvious implication of which do I personally want to see more of.
More Etherian POP Heroes. Easily the most needed/least represented of top fan choice.
Clearly we need more Snakemen, Space Mutants, & Galactic Protectors by the numbers. But those POP heroes are woefully behind their MOTU Vintage line Bretheren.
She-Ra, Adora, and Bow. And really the first two are the same. As much as I think I'm going to actually like the Star Sisters 3 pack, (with Jewelstar being least, and Tallstar maybe actually getting to stand in the front row) that's not exactly what I'm thinking of.
POP is second only to Vintage I think, and boy they are not even close. There are alot less characters, but what seem like a goodly amount more could be spaced in evenly yearly with the timeline they were mentioning. One a year seems two little. I think we should have had 3 more figures by now over 3 years.

I'm excited for all of them, but I voted for the Galactic Protectors. NA needs some more reppin.'
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
n/a is is getting a low turn out for figures thus far.
there is still a lot yet to be represented.
I actually voted for "Space Mutants" for some ****ed up reason. I think I was answering this poll honestly.
In reality, I ALWAYS want more Horde!!!
I voted Snakemen as well, because for a major faction they have surprisingly few members...even Kobra Khan seems to be as much an evil warrior as a Snakeman.
The Horde has a ton of members and possible members and Skeletor's got a large faction too with a new guy coming (Dreago-Man) but poor old King Hiss is stuck with a handful of warriors at best.
He needs more warriors, no doubt about it. I'd love to see one or two Snakewomen in the faction.
I voted for "Etherian Rebels" too.
I am still Snake-Men'ed out from 200X.
We were told we'd get "at least 4 females" in 2011. Most of us, I think, thought they'd be almost all POP.
We got:
Battle Ground Teela
Battle Ground Evil-Lyn
Bubble Power She-Ra (which is REALLY just a re-do of She-Ra)
So, we got one new POP character, though she's really a Filmation character, since it's her Filmation design (not complaining).
OK, we are getting Swift Wind.
So in 2011, we got Bow, Catra, and Swift Wind... and Bubble Power She-Ra...
Those are awesome!! I just wish, maybe, there had been one other Rebel in 2010.
We badly need Glimmer, Angella, Castaspella, and Frosta. I'd personally love Mermista, Double Trouble, and Sweet Bee.
I'm sure we'll get Sea Hawk before almost all of them... and Scorpia and Octavia too.
It seems like they'll give us anything before they get into the awesome B-lister POP ladies
A Want List of Sorts: Saurod, Buzz-Saw Hordak, Dragstor, Perfuma, Dare, Point Dread & The Talon Fighter, Prahvus, Veena, King Chooblah, Flying Fists He-Man, Terror Claws Skeletor, Snake Mountain, Filmation Variants, Roton, and all the other POP & NA characters.
Real close between Space Mutants and Etherian Rebels for me, but I voted Rebels this time around. This line needs more womenfolk.

Step 1: Getting supplies
Spray paint
empty axe can
A mechanical pencil
plastic bag
paper towels
nasil polish remover
Step 2: Taking the pencil apart
Cut no more than an inch off of the tube
Now you have a small tube
Step 3: Making the tube
while it is still hot put the tube over the tube already on the axe can so that it can form its shape
Now take it off so that it can cool down and form
After it is cool cut the edges off of theother endso that it kind of looks like an arrow
Step 4: Filling your can
Get a bag of ice and put on the axe can this helps the process go quick
now keep canshorizontal and squeeze them togther
the paint should be flowing
Step 5: Shaking
Step 6: Your done
go to here:
buy one of these:
then follow these instructions:
it really does work...we started to try and mix paints back in the late 80's because we couldnt get pink so easily in the uk. i did do it once sucessfully, but lacked the scientific logic that these instructions on the links show.
i managed to knock about 15 / 16 dreg cans into one full 400ml can (it made an interesting pink!!)

Democrat 'Appalled' By Wisconsin Recall
By Staff
Wisconsin Democrats hope to unseat Republican Governor Scott Walker in a recall election. In the Los Angeles Times, Jonathan Zimmerman, a lifelong Democrat, says he is "appalled." The recall, he writes, "epitomizes the petty, loser-take-all vindictiveness of contemporary American politics."
