I got this (exact) idea from my fellow blogger Darren who today released a post of five classic movies he’s not yet watched (read his his post here). I thought it was such a cool idea I decided to list ten films and whilst you’re scrolling through likely feeling aghast, confused (and possibly appalled) I just want you to remember that I have seen every Human Centipede movie.
And the Hey Arnold movie.
Twice.
10. Raging Bull
9. ANY James Bond film (the whole way through)
8. Interstellar
7. Back to the Future Part III
6. Frozen
5. The Dark Knight Rises
4. Vertigo
3. Apocalypse Now
2. Suspiria
1. Star Wars (Episode IV: A New Hope)
Yes. Really.
emmakwall (explains it all) 
My views on Bond are well-known, so great work for not watching them. ‘Apocalypse Now’ is just marvellous, but maybe you have to be around that ‘Vietnam age’ (like me) to really get it. ‘Frozen’ is bloody awful. I have to sit through that when my grandson comes over, everyone singing along.”The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway.” Blah, blah, blah… You can keep any Batman films, the DC comics were better. I haven’t seen ‘Interstellar’, but have to speak up for ‘Raging Bull.’ Everyone’s at their best in that one, it’s legendary!
Cheers, Em. xx

Cheers Pete! I hate Frozen and I’ve never seen it ha ha. But it’s sweet thinking of you and your family singing along with your grandson 🙂
I’m sure I’d like Apocalypse Now, I love Platoon. Some films you just miss the boat on though don’t you!
Never been a big fan of Chris Nolan, all that fuss over Inception! As if! Haha 🙂
I will definitely watch Raging Bull one day. Thanks Pete! xx

There’s too many TV shows (and films) and so little time!!! I really want to watch the rest of American Horror Story and it’s all on Netflix, completely at my finger tips, but I still can’t find the time!
I used to love The Walking Dead but don’t watch it anymore. To be honest the only season I really loved was the first one! I felt each season went downhill after that but I really started to go off it around Season 4. It just got so schmaltzy and sentimental, as well as kind of ridiculous with the zombies. I didn’t like the direction it went in.
Sorry that was an overly long explanation lol.
I started watching Gotham recently and that’s pretty good, but nothing holds my attention like…..Breaking Bad 🙂
LikeLike
Haha, not at all. I guess I feel like I’ve invested too much time to the characters in The Walking Dead to bail now, but it can get a bit weird at times. Plus, I’m a sucker for anything dystopian-related! Me too regarding American Horror Story. I watched the first three seasons and then gave up during the fourth. Got a bunch of season five episodes recorded and ready to be watched, hoping it’s an improvement on season four! Gotham’s one I’m also hopefully going to pick up — think it might be on Netflix.

Gotham is certainty on UK Netflix, is that you? What’s your favourite AHS season? Not the fourth of course! 🙂
Yeah that’s true I know what you mean. I just thought they all got a bit silly and I always missed Shane and Rick wearing his sheriff hat and bad boy Daryl! He’s such a ponce now haha.
The first season was directed by Frank Darabont though, and I think you can tell the difference when you compare.
LikeLike
Yep, got Netflix UK. I’ll check it out. I think season two of AHS is probably my favourite, but I also really liked the first season. Asylum was totally brilliantly bonkers though!
Haha, Daryl’s certainly lightened up a touch. That’s true, the first season does have a different feel to it in comparison to the others. Might’ve helped that it was only made up of a handful of episodes too, so events didn’t seem too dragged out.

That’s cool, I’ve heard some people say they didn’t like the first season that much but I watched that on Netflix (most of it anyway!) and I thought it was pretty cool and creepy.
Yes I think that’s definitely true, first season was just six episodes wasn’t it? I MUST watch it again! It had a real dystopian feel, I just really loved it. I liked the second season too but it really started to grate at the NEVER ENDING prison. It got kind of depressing in a weird way, the Governor seemed like a bad panto villain.

No Bond movies, you gotta rectify that Emma. Bond is a national treasure and the movies are the best. I could wax lyrical about the Bond movies, but in typical saucy fashion I’ll say that I’ve achieved orgasm watching many of them. Vertigo is a real gem from masterful Hitchcock also.

Shoot I can’t remember if it was, but I think so. I had Memento on DVD for a while, but sold it off…the novelty of it wore off. Kinda like watching the Sixth Sense. Once you get to the third viewing, there’s nothing left in the movie to be absorbed in a new way.
