CONFESS!!! Movies that 'EVERYONE' has seen but you haven't
I'll go first.
I haven't seen the movie "Frozen" yet. Not a big fan of Pixar family movies. Don't get me wrong, there are some amazing movies done by that group but just not into kiddie movies. I mean my favorite 'kiddie' movie is "Fantastic Mr. Fox" and Wes Anderson geared that one more towards adult vieweres.
I've yet to sit thru an entire viewing of 'A Christmas Story' even though TNT (or is it TBS) plays it like 24 hours straight on Thanksgiving.
Never seen ET, I can almost guarentee I will not see it between now and before I die. But I do like Reeses Pieces! I will post in this thread again in 40 years on my deathbed just to confirm that fact. I'm thinking I have about 40 more years left in life give or take a few years.
I am embarrassed to say I have never seen 'To Kill a Mockingbird' or 'It's a Wonderful Life'. I'd like to see the first one, I did read the book ages ago in high school. As for the latter it just seems like another corney Christmas movie and in general I do not like Christmas movies.
= new reply since forum marked as read
but now I've got the theme music (from the ubiquitous ads and trailers) for an earworm. 
edit - oh hell there are a bunch of classics I have never watched too, though I have seen Gone With the Wind.
I know it's like heresy to say that, but it's the truth.
The only reason it's a classic is because Judy Garland is adorable.
The Sound of Music is only bearable if you have a high cuteness tolerance.
The one good reason you should see it is to be able to enjoy the episode of Will and Grace where they go to a "sing a long" screening of the movie.
Gone with the Wind - see above in the thread. You aren't missing a darn thing.
Having said all that, if feel very, very sorry for you for not having seen Airplane!
I saw Rocky when it came out, I was in Cambridge, Massachusetts at the time, and it had some good moments in it, and a romantic relationship, but I have no respect for people who maim and sometimes kill each other for sport or money, and that includes boxing. If you don't think boxing is deadly, Boom Boom Mancini killed a man in the ring long ago. Punched him into a coma and he later died. Didn't think much of Million Dollar Baby for the same reason. Glorification of violence.
Same with the Mafia. I saw The Godfather when it came out (I had a boyfriend at the time who took me to a lot of movies) and you can't take the inherent immorality and violence of these people and make it look nice through beautiful clothes, scenery and cinematography. I thought, "So what? They're violent and rich and evil." Like this is part of the American Dream. Hustle, lie, cheat, threaten and steal and you too can be successful. Nope, not my cup of tea.
I couldn't watch Alien on TV with that slimy thing with pirahna teeth. I will have nightmares. My grown kid made me watch Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill and I got nothing out of any of them but blood and gore.
I also saw The Dark Knight and thought it was a complete waste of time, effort, and film. No emotional connections, nothing but violence, and the women got killed off so there was no chance for any emotional connections between people to form. Nothing but people being violent to each other.
There was no reason for me to care about any of the people. The message I got was that rich white men are important and that we should pay attention to them and try to dress and act like them. I thought it was quite sexist and classist. The only men with any dignity in it were Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman and they were just employees. And when I got out of the theater and expressed my opinion, the kids around me just couldn't understand why I thought it was a waste of time.
The reason I saw The Dark Knight in the first place is because in the little town we were in, they canceled the showing of the second X-Files movie because we showed up late.
I guess they like the genre of movies I call "Explosions and Shit".
No Lord of the Rings (Another Fucking Elf) or that sort of fantasy/superhero movies. No extremely violent shit if it's not something historic or really happened like World War II. No Matrix/ or sci-fi. No horror/chainsaw/blood 'n' guts psycho killer movies.
Hell, I was two or three years old and traumatized by "The Blob" and "The Incredible Shrinking Man" and shouldn't have seen those at such a tender age.
I do like the Harry Potter movies though. I liked most of Titanic although the script was lousy. Was not interested in seeing Avatar.
I liked the first Superman with Christopher Reeve.
Gone With the Wind was unrealistic. Fortunately it had good actors and actresses in it, but their talents were not really used properly. I always liked Leslie Howard for being the sensitive intellectual, but his character was a real wimp. He had other roles that were much better, like "Of Human Bondage". And it was hard to like the manipulative Scarlett.
I nearly fell asleep during the first one, though the current "Age Of Extinction" is so bad that I might watch it just for some good one liners to throw out at parties.
I'm not a Tom Cruise fan either!
Gandhi is a great film.
I never saw that one. At this point I have no interest in it at all. Laughing about Frozen. I watched about half of it with my wife last night on cable. She really wanted to see it. Musicals just aren't my thing. Go figure, I'm a musician and I don't like musicals. I was so happy when my dog started barking in the middle of the movie. He really wanted to go for a walk, and I was more than happy to oblige. I seriously doubt I'll ever watch the whole thing. Oh, I just remembered I never saw The Nightmare Before Christmas. I actually went with a friend and a bunch of kids to the theater to see it years ago. I fell asleep 5 minutes into the movie and woke up when the credits started rolling.
Otherwise, I'm fairly OK with most movies. 
Not after it got the Oscar for Best Picture instead of "The Shawshank Redemption."
RIP.
