Just as a cheeky reversal of the 'films Shane has seen' threads. Thought it could be a laugh. ;D
Basically, which films that you like do you think that Shane hasn't seen! Pop them in this thread, and you never know, Shane may take a peek and put us straight!
Here's my few.
Crank: High Voltage
That Shane PROBABLY hasn't seen this is a disgrace!
Speed Racer
Kaleidoscopic brilliance. Groundbreaking in technical terms. It also has a rather good story you know!
Wall-E
I'm almost certain Shane must have seen this.... but I have my doubts. So many films, so little time, it could be the CGI animations of this world that get ignored first.
Totally sublime film.
[REC]
Again, I wouldn't be surprised if Shane has seen this, but it may have passed him by. With Shane's own scary film on the horizon, giving [REC] a watch could be an inspiration.
Phenomenal sound design on this film!

i reckon he has seen wall - e , purely for its sub tarkovsky utopian/ dystopian thematic discourse. and the robots are cute. whats not to like?
Plus he's a parent now, give it 3 years and he will have seen everything animated, i reckon i have seen finding nemo approx. 2-300 times, easy. good job its class.
my guess here is, erm, top gun.

Seen all of these other than Speed Racer! Would like to though.
I'm gonna say: Fantastic Planet (French - and much better - title: Savage Planet) Purely because its the most obscure film I own, and one of my faves. A truly bizarre, amusing, interesting and thought provoking surreal animation. Has anyone on here seen it? My girlf got it for me for my birthday.
My other guess is Mongol: The Rise To Power Of Genghis Kahn... no particular reason. I just like mentioning the film because its great.
I agree about Wall-E and Finding Nemo

Very dated but very haunting. I'll put forward The Five Obstructions by Lars Von Trier and Jørgen Leth. A film every film maker and film fan needs to see. Truly inspirational. |

Hey Shane ... umm .. did you ever see DARK STAR? The film with the big squashy tomato in it? Mike told Hannah and Hollie that I was the squashy tomato alien type thing in it .. sadly, they believed him for ages.

Bad Boy Bubby, Australian film starring a British actor Nicholas Hope.
Without doubt one of the most intense and satisfying film experiences I ever had and probably the film
that inspired me to want to try making them.
Unfortunately not many people have seen this film, and granted the first 20 odd minutes of Incest, cling film murders
and a dead cat in a suitcase is probably enough to make most people switch off.
If Shane has seen it, he will remember it clearly.. Noone forgets their first Bad Boy Bubby experience.

I am lucky enough to own bubby on a really old VHS ex rental. What a film one of the finest to come out of Australia and so raw and powerful. Nicholas Hope is brilliant as Bubby. The few people I've shown the film thought it was brilliant and they are not film makers either.

Controversial point here, could cause some upset like someone putting 'MJ was a paedo, RIP' or othersuch braindead trash, but I discount computer generated animation. How is that animation? You need to animate with drawn by hand sketches, not sitting at a ZX81. If that's the case, then Chuckie Egg 2 was a great animation feat. In my day, I tell you, you could go to the video store and rent three VHS's of Disney films like Watcher in the Woods, Song of the South and Midnight Crossing (with the legend, John Hurt) and watch them and not be assaulted with glaring computer imagery. If you wanted that then you'd get Tron out and need therapy to recover from its depressive ambience and general scary nature to an 7 year old. What is Disney doing these days on a par with those aforementioned classics? Jack all! Wall-E and Tarkovsky, too, leave off it! Sounds like something cooked up by someone residing in an Amsterdam coffee shop. |

Kind of like an old-timer complaining that electronic music isn't real music, "you just press a button". That kind of thing.  Pixar rule! However, almost all other film companies making CG animation are making crap! Wall-E is is possibly the best film of last year in my opinion. |

Nope, you're right Dave. I don't know how you guessed I haven't seen Wall-E. But like people who say films are terrible even though they haven't seen them, maybe because they hate the idea of demonic possession as depicted in The Queen, or something, I thought I had a right to exercise a totally invalid opinion. I had glanced at the DVD box of Wall-E and thought it was a spin-off from Chucky Egg 2. When I found out it wasn't, I decided to expose it as just a big money-making cinematic exercise.
I BET Shane Meadows has not seen John Huston's Wise Blood, out now on DVD after many years in the wilderness and only usually seen late night on one or the other BBC channel. Well worth searching out.
I BET he has seen The Wrestler, my take on the best film of last year, even though I don't like wrestling.

If Shane has seen it, he will remember it clearly.. Noone forgets their first Bad Boy Bubby experience. I've seen half of it, need to go back and watch it in full. Got lent it by a friend and took ages to give it back, then he ended up dying. So I've sorta inherited it in his will now really... |
