Never seen any Harry Potter films.
Actually started watching one when I was in Warsaw with the Mrs once. I only turned over because there was free porn on the other side and I didn’t want to turn it off in case it didn’t come back on.

Read a couple of Gme of Thrones books and perfectly fine, put the series on and was wank (IMO) , so the current hype over final series irks a little. I was 7;when Star Wars Came out and loved it and still do. What I don’t love is the Disney version currently being flogged, the first 3 worked, I could tolerate the prequels just about, but the 7/8/9 really have few redeeming qualities to me, I’m afraid

I've never seen The Italian Job, The Great Escape, any Spaghetti western or One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
Zero appeal to me and I find the likes of Only Fools And Horses about as funny as chronic herpes.

I genuinely feel sad for people who haven’t watched Lord of The Rings. I saw Return of The King on my birthday as a child and it’s -an experience that’s truly stayed with me ever since.

Since my kids were born I've completely lost touch with any of the supposedly 'must watch' stuff on TV. There are too many channels, too many shows and not enough time in my life to watch any of them.
People are always recommending stuff to me and I know i'll never get the chance to watch it.

The Lord Of The Rings: Not remotely interested and never have been. I remember my school took the entire year to see one of them at the cinema, and I spent the entire film going out and getting drinks for other kids for a pound a time. Think I left the cinema with about £60 in my back pocket, which is decent pay for about 2 hours work  The Matrix: Similarly, just not interested. I get the impression that with a lot of these films, you're either into it, or you're not and despite my fondness for Keanu (Point Break is a great film), the Matrix just doesn't interest me and I doubt I would get past the first 5 minutes. Marvel Films: Not seen a single one.... to the surprise of many. (New) Star Wars: Seen the old ones, can't be arsed watch the new ones. From your list..... Downton Abbey: Nah, y'alright.. Strictly: Rather spend my Saturday's on the piss. I'm A Celebrity: Just shit. |

To be honest, I'm the same.... I've missed all of those but the ones in bold. I think you're either into TV or not and for the most part, I'm just not. I usually spend my Saturday's out in town (especially as I follow home and away) and in the week I'm too busy doing something else like playing football or band rehearsals etc. I was never a massive TV watcher growing up (always more into sports, hacking around electronics, computers etc) but now I have quite a strong antipathy towards it, simply because of the overall quality of content available. Nowadays TV is something I stick on before I go to bed..... to put me to sleep. 9/10 of it fucking does it. Forget insomnia pills or reading a book, have you ever watched an episode of Brit Cops on Pick TV? It's a whole hour of overweight thick southern plod pulling over clapped out uninsured Civic's and trying to turn it into drama. Lots of running around, weird exaggerated movement and erratic camera angles so it looks like things are going on... but really..... absolutely nothing is happening.... Trust me, 10 mins of that shit and you're out for the count till the morning. |

I'm deeply suspicious of adults who are bang into Harry Potter. bloody awful and lazy casting. Kid with glasses - check, ginger kid - check, couple of old school theatrical royalty - check, cgi battles and animals - check etc just underwhelming and then some. Several hours of your life you'll never get back |

Haven't seen Game Of Thrones, either. Or Star Wars. Don't mind Star Trek on occasion, but it's more for comedy value and Uhuru. |

You're either into that sort of fictional fantasy world stuff or not. It probably requires a certain type of wiring and 'imagination', to see past all the weird costumes and shit. Still, both the Matrix and Lord of the Rings have been wildly popular so it can't just be aimed at a certain audience because they have mass appeal. Ironically, I write software for a living so a common stereotype thrown at me is people assuming I am into stuff like fantasy films, Sci-Fi, Star Trek, board games, World of Warcraft etc...... nothing could be further from the truth. I like going out on the piss, playing guitar, dicking around with cars, shit like that.... |

Many have listed numerous film series ive never watched or even want to watch.
I prefer old tv stuff to new tv, with a few exceptions.
Line of duty, to me, is one of the best new things on tv at the moment.
