<p>It's funny thinking of classics I haven't seen and rubbish I have paid to watch.</p> -

<p>Add that to an appreciation for Panhead beer to the things we have in common Hooroo.......</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any other "classics" out there that most people have seen a million times but you haven't seen once ? <strong>a mate of mine was with a chick who hadn't seen a single Star Wars, I think that takes some beating. Needless to say they aren't together anymor</strong>e.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As I mentioned a few pages back I've never seen Point Break. TV I know but never seen a single episode of Breaking Bad ( was the same with GOT until recently but remedied that and am glad I did )</p>

<p>I'm not one who thinks couples should have the same interests. I had a mate who used to bring his girlfriend to all the rugby matches we went too, it was annoying. ;)</p> -

<p>if I weren't already on your list (The Wire) then you have another reason to add me!</p>

<p>My wife and I have a lot of very different interests (she doesn't like sports, doesn't like a lot of the movies or series I like...although apparently I like a lot of what she does)...but that's probably part of the reasons why we work.</p> -

<p>I hear ya there but for someone to not have seen a single Star Wars is fucken unbelievable to me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Schindlers List and Saving Private Ryan are two flicks I watch every Anzac Day usually with a whisky or two and ideally when it is pissing down to add to the mood.</p> -

<p>That is true, I have a mate who hasn't - but he just does it deliberately now to be hipster 'cool' I think.</p>

<p>Not Gallipoli on Anzac Day? Still can't believe Shakespeare in Love won the Oscar in SPR's year.</p> -
<p><i>Man of Steel</i></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I actually didn't mind this, having lowered by expectations after <em>Superman Returns</em> was basically trying so hard to be the original movie, but couldn't even manage that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Its interesting that they let Amy Adams look a bit beat up, though maybe the idea was to make all the humans look fairly ordinary compared to the super-alien. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The problem with all Superman films these days is that you don't have a 1950s mentality where he can just do awesome shit and occasionally some kryptonite comes along and fucks him up. Modern audiences want some conflict, some flaws.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The movie did it pretty well I thought. </p> -

<p>It's just a bit of a tradition I guess, two movies that I happen to think are absolute masterpieces.......I might branch out but it has been a tradition for a few years since I picked them both up for $9.99 at the Warehouse.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fuck the Oscars, Monsters Ball which scooped everything was a fucken horrific movie, Shakespeare in Love was made at the height of Di Caprios annoying teenage phase ( even if he was mid 20s by then ) and was a great big pile of arse too. </p> -
<p>fark, watching Schindlers List one time is more than enough (as good as it was) but Saving Private Ryan is one of those movies I do watch regularly, and if I am channel surfing and it is on, I stop and watch it to the end (as I do with Shawshank)</p>

<p>Liam Neeson and Ralph Feinnes are both fucken brilliant in that, so funny to see them going from that to being reunited in Wrath of the Titans which is just embarrassing horseshit. Saving Private Ryan will always stick with me for that opening scene where the allies in the U-boats are just so brutally mown down by the Germans. My late Grandfather said the realism in that scene was just mind blowing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Shawshank ? haven't seen that in ages but really must do, great flick.</p> -

<p>Sorry, I should elaborate. I used to find him incredibly irritating around that time ( Titanic and that movie where he played a retard ). He has definitely grown on me as an actor though.</p> -

<p>Blood Diamond and that other one with him and Jack Nicholson around the same time was where I became a Leo fan (although still think Revenant sucked)</p>
