This this the thread for the movies that you are willing to see, but you feel that you will not enjoy them.
Here are mine:
The Grand Illusion(1937) - Two reasons are that I do not like war movies as they usually fly above my head(Patton, Saving Private Ryan, Platoon, even Dr. Strangelove). I despised Blackhawk Down as well. Also because I watched Renoir's other work Rules of the Game and did not like it very much due to being confusing, although I might the second time as I saw other people with the same issues as I had. I kind of picture this to be a Shawshank Redemption/Green Mile like movie though which I like.
Battle of Algiers(1966) - Again, it is a war movie and I just never remember them with the exception of Full Metal Jacket, but the scenes I remembered there were with the drill sergeant. However, I do not know for certain, but I will give a review as I now have seen it... Old: Maybe it will take me to another planet like it did for George Miller. I keep feeling like this is one of those films that people do not enjoy watching, but do so because of its historical merits. I will get back to you.
Chinatown - I would love to see this one, but I accidentally spoiled the ending to this one years ago. I also did the same to others I have not seen such as Berlin Alexanderplatz, 1984, and Veronika Voss. Although with Seventh Seal, I knew Death would prevail because of the obvious moral of how you can not beat Death. I liked that one though because of the medieval atmosphere and not the obvious moral.
Lord of the Rings Trilogy - I attempted to see this one with family years ago, but I left because I was bored of the movie. I saw glimpses of the second and even like the first part of the third one, but then left again as it took so long to wrap things up... Now I feel like I need to see them all so that I am closer to seeing the 1001 movies before my death. 1001 does not really matter though. I seen the Star Wars, Toy Story, No Name, and Three Colors trilogies, so this makes me feel like I need the LOTR in there too. I feel very hesitant to watch 9-hours though. I have no intention to watch Game of Thrones either as it does not look like my cup of tea.
