Lord of the Rings are my favourite films! You MUST want the extended edition 😁 whenever I feel sad I put them on and they cheer me up!

I have seen Avatar but all I remember was it was loooonnnggg...

Shawshank Redemption.

Supposed to be one of the best films ever so can't help but think I'd find it lacking after hearing it so bigged up.

None of the Terminators, or Alien series.

None of the shite action things starting the likes or Jason Statham that dh and ds seem to like!

ah it's genuinely really good

It is such an amazing film! You must watch it!

WeAreTheHeroes · 10/08/2022 22:32

Ooh - where do I start?
Lethal Weapon series
Alien
Star Wars apart from the first one
Nightmare on Elm Street (it was big when I was a teenager)
Anything with Arnie in it apart from the first half an hour of Running Man.

Lots of stuff - these days I do try to see the films that appeal to me and have good reviews. We also live near an independent cinema which is great.

CathyorClaire · 20/11/2022 20:59

LOTR

Most of the X-Men and Marvel franchises.

I finally got round to watching Star Wars and its assorted sequels and prequels recently.

Never again although I fell in love with Chewbacca 😄

The original Alien still has one of the most suspenseful endings ever made IMO. If those who haven't seen the franchise can only stomach one, make it that.

imaditto · 20/11/2022 21:01

I think the list I have watched is shorter than those I have not.

I get bored within an hour and switch off normally
