My Left Foot

Never seen it - not really interested in a prequel to Treasure Island or Long John Silver's origin story.

Tell us all about the films you haven't bothered to watch but can guess what they're about.

I strongly suspect that there are more films I haven't seen than I have seen, but one I haven't is Forrest Gump.
Really don't need to see Tom Hanks over acting his way through another film. Especially one where he plays a mentally deficient bloke.

Titanic. Never seen it, never will.

Its a happier story if you watch it in reverse - whole bunch of people drowning in a frozen sea, when miraculously a luxury liner pops up from nowhere, rescues everyone and sails them all home in fine style to a jubilant reception.

Every Marvel film. Superhero is a hero, until they're not, and then they are again. World saved, baddy  banished.

Candyman

I do not need to watch a biopic about Sammy Davis Jr., much as I admire him.

John Dies At The End

Just a guess, but probably John dies at the end.

Never seen it – not really interested in a prequel to Treasure Island or Long John Silver’s origin story.

Don't want to derail the thread, but Black Sails is a really good series.

The Cyclist Touring Club map and grade cumbrian mountain tracks to inform the creation of the first Bartholomew Motoring Maps?

Debbie does Dallas - I never got the whole JR and Bobby Ewing thing, so watching someone's tribute to it is of zero interest

The Fast and The Furious (x N) - I think we all get a bit grumpy when we haven't eaten, but it's not going to be box office material
