I've never seen Titanic, Scream, or any of the Godfather movies.

I've seen The Godfather and read the book.
I think Texas Chainsaw Massacre is irredeemable trash.

I'm apparently the only one who feels this way, but I think Avatar ripped off key plot elements of Princess Mononoke.

I've seen all three Godfathers, but I'm not passionate about them in the least.
I've seen the original Scream, and probably the second one. I watched a lot of that new wave of horror movies because I was involved in writing a script for one at the time. (Not as positive an experience as I had hoped.)
No Titanic for me.
I've never seen a single episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Lost or Breaking Bad. Not by design per se. I haven't seen each show for different reasons.
Also, I've never been that big a fan of remote psycho stories...and yet, ironically, I've always kind of liked TCM.

Both the movie and TV series are...OK, but not really anything to write home about. |

There are a lot of movies everyone has to see that I've never seen.
I didn't really see the point of THE GODFATHER.

I guess I don't see the point of making a movie whose only point is to be offensive. I mean, why bother? 🤷♂️

Oh, I've never seen "The Sound of Music", either.

Nothing, I'd imagine.

Yeah, once your stomach's empty and the dry heaves have passed, the usual thing is to smash the projector. |

If there's anything that's bothered me about TMC (or Psycho or Silence of the Lambs for that matter), is that while all may have been inspired by Ed Gein's wacky antics, none are close to his story. For that, Deranged (1974) is probably the best watch.

Re: Texas Chainsaw Massacre --historically important, unfortunately, isn't the same as good. That said, the objective/subjective line for "good" gets fuzzy in places. I have a soft spot for several Richard Kern shorts that are, objectively, stomach-turning. |

Yeah, TCM is an ugly, nihilistic flick. When I was a kid, TCM was like the holy grail of "Can you take it?"-films. There were rumors around school of people fainting, and throwing up, and having heart attacks watching it in theaters. Sometimes all three! I was 10 years old when TCM came out.
