I finally caught Juno the other night. I thought it was entertaining. Personally, I thought Juno was more of a condescending shit, then a hip and witty teen. Anyway, it only took me almost a year to see it, and that got me thinking about a rather embarrassing list I've had in my head all these years. Great/Successful/Acclaimed movies, that I've never seen. Did I mention I worked in a video store for almost 10 years? In no particular order, and with some commentary, here are a few...
- Dances With Wolves (until they take back the OSCAR and give it to Goodfellas, I'll never watch this movie)
- The Matrix (fell asleep)
- Touch of Evil (Charlton Heston as a Mexican??)
- Ghost (Swayze!)
- Pretty Woman (kind of creepy if you think about it)
- Raging Bull
- Any and all movies with Humphrey Bogart (never got the appeal of Mr. Bogart)
- It's a Wonderful Life
- Lawrence of Arabia
- Annie Hall
- Donnie Darko
- Anything by Fellini or Almodóvar
- Gone With The Wind (I don't give a damn either)
- The Lion King
- Network

I'm totally with you on Dances With Wolves. Same reason I will never see the English Patient, Driving Miss Daisy or Titanic. Of course I have a blanket "no-Costner" rule so it doesn;t really matter.
Good call on The English Patient. I thought of that one while I was driving to work this morning.
