18 Guaranteed Ways To Have Your Film Buff Status Revoked

18. Admitting You Haven't Seen Citizen Kane, Tokyo Story Or La Règle Du Jeu

BUT THESE MOVIES ARE IN BLACK AND WHITE! What wrong with you?! Yeah, other film buffs tend to get really, really p*ssed when you admit to having not seen this trio of classics (probably something to do with their ranking on Sight & Sound's list of the 50 greatest movies), and will instantly disown you if you reveal that you "haven't got around to watching them yet." Excuses!

17. Talking In The Movie Theatre

You spent so much time telling other people how awful talking in the movie theatre is - that anybody who opens their mouth even once when a film has started should be "pushed against a wall and shot at close range with a crossbow," and yet you couldn't resist offering up that piece of trivia to the cute girl you somehow managed to get to go on a date with you. You're busted, pal. You're even worse than people who talk in movies - at least they weren't complaining about it.

16. Criticising A Movie You've Never Actually Seen

"Twilight... what a load of crap!" "You've seen it?" "Yeah, of course.. it's, uh, the movie with all the vampires and Kristen Stewart is in love with the vampires and the main vampire is Robert Pattinson and then there's a battle between the vampires and the werewolves. Yeah. Totally seen it." WELL, DUH.
