Movies that EVERYONE has seen?

The Common Room Film, Television, Music & Books
#1

Name movies that everyone on here, and pretty much any random person you ask in the street has seen inevitably…

The only ones that i’m sure of are,

Titanic
Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone
Jurassic Park
Lord of the Rings (any of them)
The first Pirates of the Carribbean
The Wizard of Oz

Aaaaanyy more? … As they’re the only ones I can think of, I would say Avatar except for i’ve not seen it :wink:

#2

Forrest Gump : )

#3

Transformers is another sure bet. The Dark Knight and Avatar, too. Pretty much any blockbuster in recent years would work (nobody bothers watching the 80s or 90s hits like Alien or Die Hard anymore, at least, the ones I ask).

#4

Uh oh… your list has a mistake. I haven’t seen Titanic. hides Haha… I might be the only one you’ll run into who hasn’t seen it though.

#5

Star Wars.

#6

To the posters above, i’ve not seen Star Wars, Forrest Gump or Avatar :neutral_face:

Two more I think, Casablanca and The Mask ?

#7

Which The Mask?? You haven’t seen FORREST??? :cry: :cry: :frowning: :cry:

#8

This being a pixar board I reccon its a safe bet to say Toy Story.

I think you will be surprised at how many people haven’t seen certain classics. I have friends who haven’t seen quite a few listed already.

#9

Ahhhh, yes. Toy Story :smiley: :smiley:

#10

The one with Jim Carrey ^

#11

I never saw Casablanca. I wouldn’t really put that in the “Movies everyone seen” category.

#12

Whoops… there are already three films on this list I have never seen (and one that was so bad that I stopped watching after the first 30 minutes):

Avatar
The Dark Knight
The Wizard of Oz
Transformers (that’s the really bad one, obviously :wink:)

I’d venture a guess that pretty much everyone has seen The Jungle Book, though.

#13

:open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

#14

I agree with this, I think a lot of people wont have seen Casablanca, its a shame though as its a fantastic film

#15

Uugh…Twilight… :frowning: stupid

#16

I haven’t seen Transformers. Sorry! But I think Titanic, The Wizard of Oz, and a lot of Disney/Pixar movies and popular trilogies are safe bets.

#17

I thought everyone would have seen The Wizard of Oz, but I knew someone once who actually hadn’t - and didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with that! :slight_smile: If I were to make a bet on what one movie had been seen by Practically Everyone, though, that would be it, since it has run on television regularly for so many generations, and it’s kind of “universal” in appeal.

#18

I haven’t seen any of those movies!
What about Avatar? That movie is still a Top 10 in the box office!

#19

I haven’t seen Avatar. I’m not going to judge until I see it, but if it’s really as liberal as everyone says it is, I won’t be very happy.

#20

You shouldn’t. Environmental conservation and land ownership rights are not bad values to learn. A lot of people thought Wall-E and Happy Feet had ‘liberal’ stances too, but I enjoyed both films immensely. :wink:

I don’t know whether I’ve mentioned this, but I haven’t watched Titanic in its entirety before. I mean, like, there were many opportunities, we still have the VCD, they show it repeatedly on free-to-air, and I still haven’t seen the whole film and yet know its ending. The first time I watched, I quit halfway because it was too boring.

While we’re on the topic of James Cameron, I bet a lot of people would’ve seen the last three Terminator sequels, but not the first. If you haven’t seen the one that started it all, it’s not bad. It’s the ‘grittiest’ of the four, and has a love story to boot. Plus, you get to see Arnie quote that immortal line for the first time! :sunglasses:

Wizard of Oz, I’ve seen though. My dad’s a sucker for the ‘SotR’ number.

Would ‘Sound of Music’ make it? How about ‘My Fair Lady’ or ‘The King & I’? Any Roger Hammenstein film is pretty popular with the older generation. :slight_smile:

Oh, and for Wall-E fans, ‘Hello Dolly’? :wink:
