I found out a few weeks ago that one of my dearest chums has never seen loads of classic films.
Indiana Jones
The Thing
Robocop
He hasn't seen any of them. This weekend whilst our wives are on some road trip, we're going to watch classic films, get drunk and eat steak. I can't wait.
Sadly, he's seen Predator though

And who could forget the classic 'Bitch Fisters 7 : Anal Revenge.'
A true original.

Really?
I found the scripting of BF:6 to be sublime, whereas BF:7 just ran with every tired, old cliche that they could muster. The production values were lacking, as you could easily tell it was a Holiday Inn Express, not the rented condo in Malibu from BF:6. Lastly, BF:6 gave a nod stylistically to everything from "Old Man and the Sea," to "Finnegan's Wake." BF:7, I believe, was simply made to quickly cash in on its predecessor's success.

The points you raise are nothing i haven't heard before.
I think i understand BF:7 on a deeper level than most, i don't know, it just speaks to me in a very personal way.
I did like BF:6 but i thought the ending was too predictable, him telling her he was her father was completely preposterous also, that kind of ruined what had been an enjoyable watch up until that moment.

Great list! I can't bring myself to ask if he's seen Commando. I'll just lose my shit if I get to share him discovering that.
And Total Recall!

Has he seen 'Going Commando 5: This Time It's Oral'?
It's timeless.

The Thing and Tremors
Were two of those films where I had to do the old "now I know this isn't normally your cup of tea, but trust me on this" with my wife. She wasn't disappointed.

I suggest you leave The Thing until after the steak.

neither of my two underlings at work
have seen rain man. That film gets referenced so many times in popular culture I was genuinely shocked they had no idea what it was.
and no, neither of them have any idea I refer to them as my 'underlings' when I'm not in the office.
