Movie meme!

Gakked from mekkavandexter. Appears to be a "check off what you've seen" list, with a notation that if you've seen 85 or more, you have no life.

I'm thinking maybe it just means you're older than a teenager. Most of these I saw in the theater.

High Tension is incredibly well-done splatter-horror, though not, not, not for the faint of heart (it opens with a character getting a blowjob from a severed head and things go downhill from there). The director also did the remake of The Hills Have Eyes, but I liked High Tension much better.

I'm not sure it was in theatres in the US; it's in French.

I don't do horror movies. I've seen maybe five in my whole life, and none of those in the last 20 years. I even resisted seeing Aliens, until my friends made clear that it's action and violence and tension, but not horror and creepy the way the first one was.

So... is 125 bad?

I would think that's normal. I was kind of surprised I'd seen so few, actually. Replace all those horror movies with more action-adventure, comedy, musical, or classic films, and I'd have a lot more, too.

Can't believe you didn't see The Wedding Singer!!

Why would I?

Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Chris Farley... These are comedians whom I don't find funny. I don't think I've ever seen any of their movies.

Man I was up to 85 by the time I hit "X-Men" on the list.

It's kind of an interesting variety of movies. I wonder what criteria they're pulled from? I thought maybe box office gross, but there's a fair amount of indie horror there; I thought maybe "films categorized as 'cult'", but there are a lot of chick flicks there. Most of them seem to be made after 1980 or so, but then Wizard of Oz is there. So I have no idea.
