“I did not care for The Godfather.”
…this is one of the big ones that I haven’t even seen.
I was in the same boat. Then I watched “The Offer” last year. It’s a really good tv show. It’s a drama about the making of The Godfather and you wouldn’t believe what it took to get the movie made!
After that I wanted to watch the movie and did. And got so much more out of it.
Sure the show has some movie spoilers but those spoilers are so part of pop culture and you probably know them already.

For some reason I won’t watch dramas, but if you dress one of the characters up in a rubber alien suit and then slap a sci fi tag on that bad boy I’ll eat it up

“It insists upon itself”
“Oh, yeah? Well, I didn’t care for Citizen Kane!”
I would date them so we can amaze people about the amount of movies and shows we haven’t watched combined.
Wait, that’s awesome, so much stuff we could watch together for the first time and talk about it until the sun comes up !
I know right? I’ve been spending way too much time trying to get people here to watch “Barbie” (now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services) for like a year now.
It’s a good movie, if you haven’t seen it yet, go watch it.
Thanks, Margot. <3
I got a chance to watch it on a cross-Pacific flight. Which is just about the only time I watch movies anymore. I made the right choice! It was far more enjoyable than Meg 2 which I also managed to squeeze in unfortunately.
Oh, so you’re a movie fan? Name every Hallmark movie.
Christmas or non Christmas?
Yeah I watch a lot of TV shows… The same ones over and over
So date them, show them a movie every night, and see how many it takes for them to say, “Seen it.” Then repeat. EZPZ
So what you’re saying is we should start a reaction channel on YouTube?

“This week I go on a date with Gestrid and mock them for not knowing the endings to classic movies! Like and subscribe for more hilarious dating hijinks!”

True, but i HAVE watched the shows i like at least 5 times each
My wife will watch the same 5 or so murder mystery shows over and over and rarely anything else.
murder clarity shows
Hit her, hire gym, dump lawyer
I’ve seen a bit of most popular shows, if only to form an informed opinion about them.
Most from my early adult years (mid-1990s) are so terrible that I stopped watching TV entirely.
My gf used to be in that boat. I’m a big film guy. The first few years of our relationship I spent catching her up on the more important things in life.
My GF thought Trek was something her mom watched. Now she’s debating the finer points of canon with me because I caught her up.
Star Wars Holiday Special
After 20 years with my wife, I still have weekly “you haven’t seen X?!?!?!” moments with her. The amount of films she hasn’t seen is staggering.
(conversely, the amount of time I’ve wasted watching films is kinda scary)
Of those movies you were shocked your wife hadn’t seen, which did you most enjoyed watching with her?
I see Lemmy’s source code instead of movies
That goes down well on dates.
I’m worse, I never finish. I stopped watching game of thrones with 3 episodes to go.
Good place to stop, from what I hear.
Don’t bother.
There are two types of people in the world, those who will belittle you for not knowing what they know, and those who will be excited that they get to expose you to new knowledge. Date the second type.
Sometimes you can catch the first type out and flip them to the second, by being interested in what they know.
My SO I’m sure makes it a point to mention something that she knows I haven’t watched just to say “oh wait you haven’t seen that”
