I've said this before, but I think this is a very interesting thread. In some cases, you find out more about a person from what they don't like, rather than from what they do. A phenomenological breakthrough!
In any case, I have both
Titanic and
Shrek. Interestingly, I've never felt the need to pop
Titanic in the player and view the whole thing again. I like viewing the special effects sequences only, not the love scenes or "character development" scenes. As a fan of Jim Cameron's earlier movies I'm glad I own it for completeness' sake (along with
Terminator Special Edition,
Aliens, and
T2 Ultimate. Now awaiting a decent release of
True Lies), but it's not among my favorites.
As for
Shrek, it is currently one of the most-viewed DVDs in my collection (and reportedly now the best-selling DVD of all time). My kids ask for it practically every day. The DVD games that seem so useless and wasted to me -- they actually give my kids lots of fun and enjoyment (as in, they laugh their heads off to see Lord Farquaad with the body of Donkey and the legs of Princess Fiona!). They haven't been so obsessive about a DVD since I bought
Toy Story 2.
Other popular movies I refuse to get:
Tomb Raider and
Rush Hour.
Question: how many of you refused to get
Episode I: the Phantom Menace? (I got it -- and surprisingly , it gets viewed a lot more than expected.)
Who refused to get
The Mummy and/or
The Mummy Returns? (I have both)
And who will refuse to get
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone when released? (My kids will lynch me if I don't.)
Who's refusing to pick up
Jurassic Park III? (I have the first two, so I'll probably end up buying it at some point.)
