For one reason or another, you didn't see it in the theater and you wish you had:

Transformers
Casino Royale
The Matrix

Rocky II

People were cheering in the theater at the end like they were at a real fight.

Die Hard.

Also Transformers II(?), I was in the theater next door on a date watching Capote. OMG! That was such an amazingly boring movie! I may have fallen asleep

I saw Back To The Future and Top Gun in the theater as a yute.

Saw "Independance Day" on IMAX. That was the best possible way to see it.

Wished I saw:
Star Wars
Blade Runner
Blues Brothers

Ah, see I saw Capote in IMAX 3-D and it blew the fucking doors off of Transformers II on the regular screen.

Transformers is better viewed on a high-definition television with a DVR for slo-motion - unless, of course, you want to go blind and/or have a seizure in public.

The CGI BS action was so hodgepodge fast and undiscernable, I had a headache for a bout an hour after the flick ended.

Considering the newest one has a lot more of this action than the first one and I didn't have any issues after my seven viewings of it in the theatre, I'm guessing I would have been fine...

...never used slow-mo during a movie, ever.

Better Off Dead

In all seriousness:
Star Trek (the reboot)
Iron Man
and I wish I had been old enough for the original Die Hard (I was only 9)

Im sorry but how the hell do you not see The Dark Knight in the theater? The movie was incredible. I saw it twice in the theater,something that I never do. Once in Imax and once in a regular theater. Come on man.

Up until this year, I never went to a theater on my own, and up until recently, I didn't have a lot of people my age that I hung out with on a regular basis, so I never really went to the movies.

I will absolutely see The Dark Knight Rises in the theater.

I love going to the theater by myself...shit, it's a good way to unwind a bit before going out at night.

I felt weird the first couple times going to a movie by myself...now it's no big deal...probably been to the movies at least 10 times this summer on my own.

Keeping tabs on me?

I still remember sitting at the last poker game, seeing the commercial, and saying how I've never seen any of the movies and they really didn't interest me in the least... :lol:

Hmm...well, I've actually seen it seven times, but once was with a person (I know, shocking), so six times by myself was technically correct.

Now that I think about it...

Transformers x6
Planet of the Apes x2
Horrible Bosses
Super 8
Conan
Final Destination 5

Damn...
