Films you've watched but have no idea what they're about

[Blocked]

DH has got Con Air on. This is one of these films that's always on TV...technically I must have watched it about 20 times but I still couldn't tell you what it's about other than a load of aggressive blokes on a plane

What films have you seen loads of times yet could not tell anyone the plot of?

Raiders of the Lost Ark

Most of them. Even when I think I've been attentive and watched it all the way through if I'm discussing it with someone after and they say 'oh I love the bit where....' I'm always like 'eh? '

I instantly forget it all once it's finished - quite worrying really

All those cowboy films that were a 'B' feature in the 1950s

Tennet

Broken Flowers
Lost in Translation
Twelve Monkeys

Oh yes!! I haven't got a clue about that one either. Something to do with crystal skulls? Seen it quite a few times

Bladerunner.

Most James Bond films -
The more recent ones at least.

Inception

Con Air is bloody brilliant!!

Inception.

Honestly haven't got the foggiest what's going on in that film.

There are other films that I can't understand why someone would bother making them but Inception I don't understand full stop. I've tried reading the plot as well and it sort of washes over me without me taking in the words.

DH was very keen on Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia but I've never managed to see the whole film, always nod off.

Forgot to say, I love Con Air too!

Con Air is a great film.

I agree that Con Air is fabulous. Nicholas Cage is such a loser!

Mulholland Drive.

Donny Darko, I have watched it a few times and can only tell you there is a giant rabbit in it 😂😂

Oceans 11, I just don't pay enough attention, I don't understand what happens, why is there two different vaults, how can they tin it if they're not really there?

Quantum of Solace.
Adaptation (I liked it though).
Une femme est une femme.

**How can they rob it

They make a replica vault so they can switch the footage to the empty fake one while they rob the real one.

I've only seen this once but have NO IDEA what the storyline is... Everything Everywhere All at Once. I'd love to watch it again actually. The costumes and sets were amazing.

Are you really watching though? Or are you multi tasking ( on your phone?)

personally I find I understand plots a lot better if they have subtitles ( on tv obviously, haven’t been to the burger bar/ sweet rustling place for decades) because three quarters of the time I can’t make out what they are mumbling about. Also watch at home means you can rewind when DH says he missed that bit/ asks who the hero is/ wants to discuss the moral issues raised by the heroine’s dilemma ( okay, I made that bit up).

I also couldn't tell you the storyline of Star Wars, despite watching them so many times.

I had a flat mate who would say stuff all the way through every film, 'is that the same bloke that was on before? Who's that? Is that a new person now? Is that one Thelma or Louise?' Exhausting, especially in the cinema.

Lost In Translation. The most aptly titled film ever
