None. I did my time in the trenches (ugh, all the hours I wasted on John Ford and Jean-Luc Godard). I no longer feel any obligation to see stuff that someone thinks I "should" see. If I don't want to watch it, I don't need to know it.

Doctor Zhivago

I thought putting it in my list of shame would get me to see it, but it stopped me cold in the L of S Club a few years back. :( I must have a mental block about it.

Wow, didn't realize you disliked Ford so much. I can see Godard, though. He's not for everyone.

Cinecast Godard!  (1-1  ;D) [I can write cinecast instead of the other word; I'm classy :D]

Martin I feel that attitude is refreshing and I'd hope it'd make you feel like writing whenever a film moves you to words. Not feeling you have to write after so many years must also feel refreshing. How come you no write?

Also none. Don't even recognise the concept. I like the list of shame idea but I can't say I ever felt embarrassed for not watching a two hour movie.

Martin I feel that attitude is refreshing and I'd hope it'd make you feel like writing whenever a film moves you to words. Not feeling you have to write after so many years must also feel refreshing. How come you no write?

It's very liberating to not have to write. I can just keep my opinions to myself, it's a wonderful feeling. I no write because I no have anything I feel need to say.
