Oh I’ve not seen Tokyo Story.
I love gogglebox so much I started watching the American version.
Do they do a proper cross-section of the US kind of thing? I’d imagine that would be pretty interesting.
Never seen it but heard it’s proper solid entertainment, I imagine it like a mix between the old Charlie Brooker Screenwipe segments when he was on his couch + Creature Comforts.
Big shout out to the old Clattenburg-era Trailer Park Boys if anyone hasn’t seen that yet! It’s now on Netflix and is one of the most heartwarming, positive and daft shows. Makes me really happy in the way that early to mid-period Simpsons does.
I haven’t seen The Godfather films and The Soprano’s and I know I should of seen both. Also - Curb Your Enthusiasm. Watched up to Season Two. Enjoyed it, but hadn’t got the interest to keep watching, which sucked as I wanted to like it.
I’m a mega Star Wars nerd but only got into it about 5 years ago when I realised I hadn’t watched them and probably should. Loved it. Stuck with it through the sequels the last few years, but hate to say The Rise it Skywalker kind of ruined it for me. I still nerd out in it but i lost a lot of the love I had for it for sure.

That’ll be me.
I also haven’t seen Jaws, Top Gun, any of the Back To The Future films, Apocalypse Now, any of Breaking Bad and only very minimal amounts of Star Trek. I can’t abide most musicals so I haven’t seen Grease all the way through either, I just can’t endure the full slog of it. There‘a a lot of Tarantino and Scorsese I haven’t seen as well. My wife is even worse, she hasn’t seen anything

Don’t wanna sound cheesy but if you haven’t seen Pulp Fiction that’s just tragic. Or The Usual Suspects.

YouTube have been recommending that I (re)watch a video of the reactions of a young P-Rod & forgotten watching Video Days. I was going to post it up here, but I can’t find it now. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Edit: Found it (forgotten = Jereme Rogers).
Fuck mate, sort that out. It’s fantastic. No spoilers Hugo.
All the BTTF films are great fun. Once you watch them, you’ll get why they’re so culturally and cinematically significant. For me anyway, the 3 Star Trek reboots (2009 onwards) are better than all the other films with William Shatner and Patrick Stewart. I think Star Trek benefitted from having little else to compete with, which is how I started watching Star Trek Next Generation in the 90s. Most of them are dull to be honest, but the ones with the Borg were good and definitely had a few elements which crossed over into mainstream/pop culture.
Musicals are as a rule awful shite, so you’re really missing nothing. Grease is a bit of a laugh - one place I worked in played the soundtrack on repeat for an entire summer, so I still know most of the songs.
Get on the Tarantino and Scorsese back catalogs though.
Period dramas. Anybody here watch them? I hate them. Downton Abbey, all that bollocks. Painful, excrutiating wank.

Yeah fuck that stuff. It’s a TV, not a theatre stage. Fuck off.
The mid 90s Pride & Prejudice is class.
I mean… Yeah me neither.
This is good:
Films are a bit different to TV shows, aren’t war films period pieces really? I know I’m still going to watch Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet or Great Expectations from 1998 with Ethan Hawke, Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert De Niro (including PJ Ladd’s WHL song in it) though, haha.
Somewhat different to a family of priviliged lords and ladies in dinner jackets and ballgowns walking slowly around the garden of a country estate for five series.
