Apparently great movies, classic or recent that you've somehow never seen

I've never seen the Godfather, or The Wrath of Khan, or many other movies, like the Little Mermaid, which I've only seen small pieces of. I haven't even watched Star Wars episode 5 and 6. Until today I had thought that the death of the Sicilian in the Princes Bride was the end of the movie. I haven't seen Schindler's List, Casablanca, Taxi Driver, Terminator 1, Citizen Kane, Alien, Blade Runner, E.T., It's A Wonderful Life. etc. etc. etc. Here's the list. What great movies have you never seen. (a great movie is a movie that remains relevant through the test of time, and has world acclaim)

I'm basically just like you. I never really seem to catch the classics.

Two of my favorite movies right off the bat According to that list, the top movies I have yet to see are: Lawrence of Arabia, Schindler's List, City Lights, ... why is Beavis & Butthead #25 in the readers poll!? Eh, there are other movies on the list I haven't seen that I don't care to see, but I've seen most of them. Glad to see Alfred Hitchcock dominating the critic's list, as he's my favorite director in history.

re: Apparently great movies, classic or recent that you've somehow never seen

Out of that list the one that sticks out the most to me is A Clockwork Orange.

What I want to know is how you didn't see Goodfellas?

The only ones I have seen in the top 100 are the Star Wars, Godfather, Pulp Fiction, Die Hard, Jaws and Terminator.

Haven't even heard of half of them

re: Apparently great movies, classic or recent that you've somehow never seen

Lol, I've at least heard of most of them, but yeah, apparently some of the top 100 aren't too well known, at least in the younger crowd.

BTW: Aside from being really famous, does Casablanca REALLY deserve the top spot, or is it just there because it's cool to think it is great?

re: Apparently great movies, classic or recent that you've somehow never seen

Didn't read the list to be honest, but all my friends say I NEED to see Pulp Fiction. I still don't know how I haven't seen it.

and I already know there's going to be like 6 people now, all "SEE IT GO DO IT".

Casablanca was revolutionary in it's time. The storytelling is superb, the camera work and production was ahead of it's time. I can understand how it would be tough for younger people to truly appreciate it.

Well, why aren't you watching it now?

Anyways, I haven't seen Scarface, Goodfellas, any Godfather movies (hmm, sensing a trend here) or V for Vendetta

re: Apparently great movies, classic or recent that you've somehow never seen

Twilight is a funny movie because it's so terribly bad. The books aren't funny because the writing is so bad you want to put it in a blender.

I didn't look at the list but off the top of my head I haven't seen most of Scorcese's classics, only seen the first Godfather, haven't seen Citizen Kane, Space Odyssey or whatever it's called, em, I dunno there's loads of classics I haven't seen haha.
