'Haven't seen' confessional

I loved Charlotte's Web when I was a kid. I cant remember if it was a musical or not. Think I cried.

Oodles upon oddles of "critically acclaimed" flicks, especially modern ones, simply because I just honestly don't give a monkeys.

It is a musical.

Ahh, I would have been about 5. I didnt get punished by the demonic nun during godspell until I was 8. This confirms for me why I dont like the genre.

Aww.. you don't like Templeton's song? I love it. Best part of the movie.

No No I'm saying I loved that movie. My allergy to musicals came three years later. NUNS. It's why I renounced catholicism. this is all piecing together for me now.

This is such a breakthrough for me. I've pondered this allergy for years.

Ah, that makes more sense.

As my mom puts it, I was raised a heathen so religion has nothing to do with my aversion to musicals.

This was a revelation for me. Thanks for starting the thread, Sarge. I swear, I do all my best work at stupid o'clock in the mornings. I thought my aversion to musicals was because the last musical I watched with my mom before she died was Brigadoon, and she cried at the bitter sweet ending. That did not compute because I sometimes cry at bitter sweet endings and I like any emotional reaction to a film. Makes so much more sense now. It was the penguin who punished me for having fun acting in a musical. Biatch! (her, not you, MV).

This thread tests my stress levels... oh my.

Anyways, as much as I eventually rep people for coming clean, I sometimes really have go force my finger to the rep button. But hey, who is to decide what we watch, when we watch it or if we even watch it at all?

Anyways, some of mine:

Amélie
Roshomon
Yojinbo
Touch of Evil
Eyes Wide Shut
Witness for the Prosecution
M
Amadeus
The Sting
Annie Hall
8 1/2
The Warriors
Easy Rider
The French Connection
Bullitt
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
A Streetcar Named Desire
MASH
The Grapes of Wrath
Pretty much all Monty Python
King Kong (original)
Old Universal monster movies (all of them)
Metropolis
Some Like it Hot
Tokyo Stories
Interview with a Vampire
Nosferatu
Dawn of the Dead
Carrie
Rushmore
La Haine
Top Gun
Groundhog Day
The Princess Bride
The Night of the Hunter
The Bridge on the River Kwai
In the Mood for Love
The Breakfast Club
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Dazed & Confused (saw 40 mins)
Lost in Translation (saw 30 mins)
The Seventh Seal (saw 30 mins)
Stalker (saw more than half)
Trainspotting (saw 30 mins)
The Deer Hunter (saw 1+ hour)

I kind of feel like some of these aren't "big" ones, but I find it hard to come up with the truly big ones... but at least there is a few major in between these.

The what what? Do you mean Emmanuelle as in...the soft porn series of films with Cerrone doing the music????

Spot on, my friend.

I dont think I've seen train spotting either.

That's me having quiet conniption right now.

I want to rewatch some of these so would be happy to do a co-ordinated watch...

A friend told me I would love Sweeney Todd because it's really gory, and she knows I like Depp. Couldn't get through the first musical number.

ZING! It was the word 'confessional' in Sarge's title that did it. So triggered right now *loud crying face*.

This is highly amusing yet enlightening to me.

Hijack over. Resume normal broadcast. �� That's supposed to be a thumbsup but it didn't work. I'm going to hell for sure.

Have you seen the non musical movie about Sweeney Todd?

What's it called, Cat? I've seen the bugs bunny version of barber of seville if that counts.

Yeah, I think that movie has "second place" of my movies-I-cant-finish list...

First place is Gangs of New York. Five tries so far I think.

I like older Disney, too. There was some songs but it didn't intrude as much, or am I misremembering?

It's just called Sweeney Todd. 2006, bbc thing I think.

This would've been my answer but i finally watched it a few months ago. Top 5 on IMDB Top 250 i haven't seen:

Life Is Beautiful (will at some point)
Interstellar (will at some point)
The Intouchables (this has an awful poster)
Modern Times (watching in the next few days hopefully)
The Pianist (will at some point)
