Feel like there are already a few comparable threads for this, but anyway (and leaving aside catchup on last few years):

True Romance
The Exorcist
Dead Calm
Both the Olivier & Branagh Henry V

Would not bother with Jackie Brown of the ones above I seen.
Harry Potter would never bother with. Might have seen 10 to 15 minutes of one of them but have never interested me is seeing more.
Rocky 4 or 5 is really crap. Cannot remember which one is the worst.
Not sure If I seen all of The English Patient.
All the Godfather's were on SBS only last month. Probably still on there, On Demand.

Some real classics in there.
Not sure if seen the last ones.
Dead Calm probably ok in it's time but suspect dated now.

Want to see the new horror movie that related to The Shining.
Never seen Dunkirk. May see it one day. still not sure if good or not as people that seen it, seem to love it or hate it.
Not a lot of movies I am waiting to see that come to mind readily.

Doctor sleep? Give it a wide birth. Is a stain on The Shining.

Yep, sounds like the name.
Will probably still check it out to see for myself but open minded it could easily be crap.
Hard to re-create the same atmosphere of the Shining. That was truly creepy when first saw it. Jack Nicholson perfect for it too.

Doctor Sleep was ok, I enjoyed it for the most part, just didn't go in with any expectations of it being in The Shining's ballpark, one being by Kubrick, the other by a dude who is strictly a horror director so it's silly to even compare the two. Doctor Sleep sits comfortably with most other King books adapted for the screen.

Most MCU films. Love the comics but just hate their adaptations in general.

Never seen a Fast & Furious / Jurassic Park / Transformers film. All the new Stars Wars and half the Harry Potter films. Matrix series too. Avatar.

Avatar, was almost gonna watch it about 10 times now, just doesn’t look that interesting to me
First you would have to run down to Cash Converters and grab a 3D TV for the fully full on immersive Jimmy James "future of cinema" experience
