Wanna know something really shocking? I've never seen any of the Terminator films either ;)

Terminator 1 is good for an 80's film but doesn't hold up to much now. T2 was more money but less good T3 was a yawn fest I have little hopes for T4.

I would just much rather watch a good film that I really enjoy than something that interests me in no way whatsoever.

I obviously couldn't comment having not seen it.
But I would much rather spend a couple of hours watching these films:
www.imdb.com/title/tt0287467/
www.imdb.com/title/tt0441909/
www.imdb.com/title/tt0369702/
www.imdb.com/title/tt0125659/
I am a bit obsessed with Spanish cinema as you can see ;)
If you haven't seen any of those, do! They are all brilliant! And definitely watch the last one, Abre los ojos, which is the original Vanilla Sky. But don't let that put you off! It is fucking genius, and if I ever see Tom Cruise, I will punch him in the windpipe for ruining such a great film!

well - Alien 1 is one of the better films ever made... Indiana Jones... well, they're good, but I wouldn't say they're essential viewing.
What films have you seen? You are aware that films exist and you can see them aren't you...?
What about The God Father? It's a Wonderful Life? Casablanca? Goodfellas..? The Prince's Bride?

I just aint really a sci fi fan.
I love all of those films apart from The Godfather. The book was a hell of a lot better.

Peter says he isn't a fan of The Godfather, he says that he feels it insists upon itself too much.

But it doesn't have TGTBATU's staring scenes
Literally half the film is just staring
But what staring

but my favourite western is The Bravados with Gregory Peck and Lee Van Cleef.
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid is also good, with Kristofferson as Billy the Kid, James Coburn as Garrett, and Bob Dylan as a cheeky little knife-throwing rascal in the Kid's posse. Dylan also did the soundtrack.

i have no great objection to them, i've just never had the opportunity to see any of them.
I think Star Wars has been on a few times, but it's never caught/held my attention.
