19. Do I have to have actually seen it?
Wed Sep 2, 2015, 09:24 PM
Sep 2015

I have a number of very popular movies that I could see were going to be just torture and avoided seeing-

Here's my list of the ones I have seen:
Ghostbusters
E.T.
Harry Potter
Star Trek (Or as I call it, Sci Fi Action Franchise Loosely Based on Star Trek)
Leaving Las Vegas

Bonus: Anything by David Lynch, All the Batman movies prior to Batman Begins, and while I love James Cameron the man, I think James Cameron the director is highly overrated.

-----------------------------

Also, on edit, I see a lot of people with similar lists to mine, including many that didn't make my list on technicalities:
Avatar- It was bad, but there are many I hated more
Titanic- Didn't see it. Didn't need to see it.
Starship Troopers- I think everybody hated that movie- just not as much as I did.
