As my wife, jitterbug, has done, I too have a movie oriented post, albeit with different themes.

Movies I should have walked out of, with the benefit of hindsight:

1. Pulp Fiction - violence and gore cloaked in humor
2. Natural Born Killers - violence and gore cloaked in artistic colors
3. Forest Gump - just plain dumb
4. Basic Instinct - ditto, with a crotch shot
5. Saving Private Ryan - I can never see another war movie, but maybe I should be grateful?
6. Thin Red Line (1998) - if I had seen ...Ryan first, I could have spared myself
7. Fortress - for some reason, I am a sucker for Lambert, probably thanks to Highlander (1986)
8. Highlander II, the Quickening - see above. I see there's Highlander: The Journey Continues in the works. Sheesh? Can there be only none?
9. Pet Sematary - at least I read the book first. The only redeeming scene is the sliced achilles, which will haunt me forever.
10. Indecent Proposal - Robert Redford's only bad movie?

Movies I wish I could have seen on the big screen:

1. The Shining - I think I would have enjoyed an eight foot tall Jack face
2. Buono, il brutto, il cattivo, Il, Per qualche dollaro in più, Per un pugno di dollari - do I have to explain? did I test your Spanish?
3. Blade Runner - the best sci-fi movie ever, and a great book adaptation
4. Shichinin no samurai, aka The Seven Samurai - Mifune's character is pure genius
5. The Thing (1982) - so creepy, I can only imagine it gets better with size
6. The Exorcist - same as above
7. Apocalypse Now - alas, my only big screen image of Brando is Island of Dr. Moreau, and I need to be cleansed
8. Close Encounters of the Third Kind - those aliens would look much taller and brighter on a big screen
9. Monty Python and the Holy Grail - most people don't know how much of a ...Grail lover I am
