    I'm not a fan of some of the popular slasher/horror franchises. The modern crap crop of vampire movies.

    Anymore of the Harry Potter films. I could barely get through the first one without falling asleep.

    Haven't seen any of the Twilight or Harry Potter movies. Sure there are a lot more but my mind is blank. I'm never interested in a movie based on popularity.

    I don't know who said it first, but:

    OK, I agree with this consensus:

    Gone with the Wind
    the Saw movies
    The Burning Bed (the book was enough)
    Love Story
    Hostel
    Rocky
    Harry Potter
    Natural Born Killers
    Pulp Fiction


    But as for these movies you have chosen:

    Titanic
    The Twilights
    Avatar
    The Matrix
    Lord of the Rings
    Batman Begins
    The Dark Knight
    Superman
    Spiderman

    YOU GUYS ARE NUTS!! Razz

    They were popular because a bunch of ppl like me enjoyed being entertained by them.
    So much so that I often saw them more than once in theater and now have them all on DVD.

    BTW, how did you determine that you would not see them? I know some movies like Bad Teacher looked to have a premise I didn't care for (doing absurd things to get money for breast enhancements - because you felt it would get a guy?) So, I judged a movie by its trailer and did not see it.

    Avatar was the shit! A bit long and I thought I wasn't going to like it....but it rocks. And you need to see it in Blu-ray. Mind blowing.
