Movies always on that you just won't/haven't watched.

[BottlesOf]

Tremors. This movie (1990, with a young and freakish-haired Kevin Bacon) is ALWAYS on. It's on like every channel. I just can't get into it. I have no desire to watch it, but everytime I flip through channels it's on one of them, usually half over.

Anyone else constantly see the same movie on and refuse to watch?

[InchoateHand]

Twister seems like it has been playing on some channel, non-stop, since its release. I refuse to watch it, but I feel like I know all the lines by this point.

the garden state. I fear that I will actually like it and fall in with the cult of existential-anxiety ridden 20-somethings and never respect myself again.

[Alobar]

oh man, Tremors is one of my all time favorite movies.

[highlife]

Titanic. I made a pact with my friend in highschool to never see this movie. he broke the pact because he is pussywhipped by his gf but i never did.

[Cancuk]

It's not so much that it's always on, but "The Fast and the Furious" along with it's sequel, "Too fast, too furious" (jesus christ...) I refuse to ever see. ever.

It's a Wonderful Life

[wayabvpar]

I have not, and will continue to refuse to see E.T. The hype about it when it was released made me physically ill.

I agree. JBB, there are other movies to avoid, Tremors is not one of them.

[offTopic]

Hi JBB,

Too many to mention, although I quite enjoyed Tremors. Currently, The Engagement Ring comes to mind, because whenever TNT does on of these movies, they tend to show the hell out of it.

For more mainstream movies, I will always skip over Titanic and anything with Kathy Bates.

Hi JBB:

I actually saw Misery in the theater, and quite liked it, but if I see it on TV, I'll still skip it because it will be edited and I also dislike commercials.

[Ulysses]

JBB: Tremors is great.

[imported_The Vibesman]

Coppola's Dracula, I guess. I like vampire movies, and the Dracula novel, but the thought of Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves as Mina and Jonathan Harker...blecch. It's been on a lot lately too.

Yup, this one.

And not like you need another person to convince you but...

Tremors is a pretty good movie. I would definitly recommend watching it.

Any Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter movie. They're always playing on TMN (The Movie Network) here in Canada, and I have yet to watch any of them.

Tremors is good old fashioned fun brotha. Some of the others listed here however, definitely avoid.

Looking at the IMDB top 250 list, that and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest are the only ones I haven't seen. I've seen 45 of the top 50 in fact... I should really just see the rest of them I guess.

These are the only two movies of the top 250 you HAVEN'T seen, yet you have missed five out of the top 50. I don't understand this.

I should clarify:

I don't have anything against Tremors, although I never felt compelled to watch it, as it looked like stupid sci fi as opposed to cool sci-fi. However, the overwhelming sentiment is that it's worth watching, so I will def. check it out.

My example of Tremors was just that I see it on multiple channels, and always catch it half-way over, so I don't really have an opportunity to see it. That and it never looked that amazing led it to be the prime example of "one of those movies." I will try and catch the whole thing at some point.

I have never seen pretty women and never intend on seeing it, no matter how many time TNT or TBS runs it.

you're probably missing out on a lot. at least watch the first two. well, you should only watch the first one so that the second one makes sense. IV and VI are pretty good, but nothing beats V.

No shame in the soundtrack. I own it and think that most of the music is chill.

Hi Dom,

I think Kathy Bates is a fine actress, but in the context of the OP, her presence when I'm flipping channels usually means Fried Green Tomatoes (which I haven't seen and have no interest in seeing), Titanic (already been discussed), or an edited version of Misery.

Give me the 190576th showing of Hunt For Red October, say I.

It's funny so many mention Titanic. When I saw it in the theatre back when I made a pledge with myself that I could go the rest of my life w/o seeing it. Well, as I was stuck in a blizzard in Sioux Falls this week the movie was on HBO or something and I ended up watching it again. I must give props to DeCaprio for his range, he did a pretty fair job with what he had to work with (Cameron writing/directing a love story is probably not such a super idea). I still feel the movie is pretty weak, but I have to change my pledge to "I'll never watch this movie again unless I'm snowed in somewhere crappy."

I had this pact with myself as well. I was on a solid 5 year run. Then one day, a woman was able to successfully blandish me into seeing it. And yes, this did immediately cause my testicles to be absorbed into my abdomen. The allure of pussy was just too strong and I couldn't resist.

My balls have fully dropped once again and I'm now a much stronger man than I was at that point. I will never break pacts I make with myself again.
