Films you own but haven't got around to seeing yet
 
May sound a little weird, but I've been a hit nomadic with work over the past few years and over that time I've picked up films that I've fully intended to watch, but well, haven't managed it!

The two films I've randomly found still in their shrink wrap are 'The Hills Have Eyes' remake with Emilie De Ravin in and 'Sky High' about super heroes in high school starring my beloved Kurt Russell.

Sorry Kurt :(

I'm almost past it now, I wonder if I'll ever watch them...

Anyone else accumulated such oddities?

The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, The Informant and The Nines. All films that I bought because they looked interesting but just have never got round to watching. I bought Frost/Nixon a couple of days after it came out on DVD and only got round to watching it a few weeks ago. Wish I'd watched it sooner.

You should watch it (HHE), it's surprisingly good and gritty. As for the other one, only for a very rainy day.

Yeah. Hills Have Eyes is really enjoyable which is surprising seeing as it's yet another horror remake. Any reason you haven't watched all of Bugsy, Ancient One? I've never seen it and never read any reviewsbut my girlfriend has it and I don't know if it's worth a watch.

Ah Frost/Nixon is pretty awesome, saw it at the cinema, I was surprised at how sweet and funny it was, especially between Langella and Kevin Bacon's character.

I may have to unwrap 'HHE' I think the missus refused to watch it with me after being traumatised by the 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' remake and it just got left on the shelf.

Finally got around to seeing '9' in my bumper kids film triple pack, surprisingly creepy and atmospheric, wanted more though. Sometimes you can be too mysterious, darker than I expected.

Also found 'Garden State' in it's shrink wrap! That's the last one, I don't think I'll watch it though, it won't be as good as 'Scrubs'. :p

Did you watch Monster House and Coraline? Monster House is so good. I wouldn't bother with Garden State. It's alright but not as good as many make it out to be. I can't actually remember much about it.

Cheers. I'd been holding off watching it because I wasn't sure.

Funny you should say that Jeff. I can't remember anything about that film, nor can Jonesy. I think it must've been pretty mediocre because it's left a total blank.
