Name a classic movie that you're supposed to have seen, but haven't.

[Cant trust em]

Mine is the Sound of Music. So sue me.

[Twillig]

1. I'll see your Sound of Music

(never saw it) and raise you

Citizen Kane. ( i happen to know what roastbeef is.)

[Politicub]

2. E.T. - not really a classic

But it seems that everyone universally blabbers over this movie.

And, I've never watched Star Wars the whole way through.

[Cant trust em]

3. ET is great, but if you're older than 12, it doesn't really make sense to see it

See it with your kids if you have 'em. It's easy to get a bang out of things that you're too old for if you can see it through their eyes.

[Politicub]

8. I'm 3x12...

So I'll skip it :).

It's one of those things that I would watch if I were to come across it while flipping channels, but it never seems to air.

[azmouse]

4. Willy Wonka

[csziggy]

26. Yep - seen clips never could understand how anyone could watch the whole thing

[nickinSTL]

38. haven't seen it either

though I did see the Burton/Depp remake

[Dr Morbius]

5. The Big Lebowski.

Never got that far. I'm sure there are others.

[Cant trust em]

6. I technically have seen it. I saw it when it came out and I was like 15.

Clearly I didn't understand that movie, so while I have technically seen it, I usually say that I haven't.

[Blue_In_AK]

54. I haven't seen that either

and I don't know why. I LOVE Jeff Bridges.

[Arugula Latte]

56. Lebowski is way overrated.

I've fallen asleep a couple times trying to get through it.

[BlueJazz]

7. Gone with the Wind ...have never seen it.

[Zavulon]

20. +1. (NT)

[csziggy]

29. I got to see that one in a drive-in theatre

In the back seat of my parents' Buick. Well, some of anyway. All the screaming at the burning of Atlanta woke me up and the fire scared me. I think I was about five years old.

[flvegan]

9. Debbie Does Dallas.

[Dr Morbius]

10. Oh, you have my pity.

That is indeed a classic. Stick with the original; the sequels suck. So to speak. ;)

[nickinSTL]

39. haven't seen it either...

my parents wouldn't let me watch it with my dad and one of his friends when I was about 10 :evilgrin:

[Orrex]

11. Most films by Kurosawa

I've seen a handful, and they're all brilliant cinematic masterpieces blah blah blah, but I just can't make myself watch any more samurai movies.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

12. The Usual Suspects

Just never made it around to seeing it.

[AsahinaKimi]

13. I missed that too...

Meh.. I am not that into musicals.

[MadBadger]

14. Any of the Rocky, Godfather, Terminator movies.

[yellowdogintexas]

15. no Rocky, or Jaws here. However you should see Godfather I & II

they are truly works of art.

really.

[Stuart G]

16. Something called "Titanic" ..1997...hell the boat goes down...so what.

Haven't seen any of the other versions...the boat goes down there too........................

[WinkyDink]

25. NOT a "classic".

[mitchum]

58. I've only seen about 20 minutes

When I was a kid I saw the old A Night to Remember a few times on tv

[NNadir]

17. Pulp Fiction. I actually tried to watch it, but found it unwatchable.

I was extremely grateful that I didn't pay money for it.

[Throd]

18. No hipster street cred for you!

[NNadir]

19. I'll try, nonetheless, to go on living.

[Duer 157099]

22. Same here, but fortunately I'm persistent

I really did try several times before it took.

Now I have a great fondness for it.

[Duer 157099]

21. This thread is making me cry!

Waaah!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. I can't remember the name of it!

Tom Hanks (I think) is in it...Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get.

It took the Oscar for best picture the year the Shawshank Redemption should have gotten it.

I have no desire to see it, whatever its name is!

:P

I remembered! Forrest Gump

[csziggy]

28. Yeah - it did not seem to be that appealing

Even though I like Tom Hanks.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. He's a great actor...

But that one was just not appealing to me at all.

[Common Sense Party]

30. You're not missing a thing.

Forrest Gump was an awkward mishmash of unrelated nonsense, trying to be hyperemotional and socially significant at the same time.

It may have gotten an Oscar, but I wouldn't really call it a 'classic.'

Shawshank was 1000 times better, and it's a movie that holds up very well over time.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. I've watched Shawshank many times, and it never gets old.

Did you know it was from a novella by Stephen King? It's contained in a book called "Different Seasons."

[Common Sense Party]

37. Yup. I've never read the novella, but I did know that.

I have to FF past the prison rape scenes, but other than that it's a wonderful film.

[WinkyDink]

24. The Wizard of Oz.

[Dr Morbius]

46. That's still one of my favorite flicks.

Loaded with symbolism.

[apex3350]

27. gone with the wind

[Angleae]

33. The Godfather (either), Gone with the Wind, Casablanca

[Orsino]

34. The Godfather(s) n/t

[Phentex]

35. Forrest Gump...

I hear references to it all the time.

[begin_within]

36. The Exorcist

I was 13 when it came out and from all the publicity surrounding it I was too scared to see it. My sister saw it, and a couple of my friends saw it, and they were shaken up and one of my friends even vomited in theater. I decided I would never subject myself to it. To this day I still have never watched it, though I have viewed the most famous bits of it on Youtube. Although I have curiosity about the whole film I still don't feel inclined to subject myself to it and the possible nightmares afterwards, etc.

[nickinSTL]

41. I understand that in its time, it was shocking

compared to a lot of what's out there these days, not so much, IMO.

I still like the movie -but then, movies I find most fun tend to be horror movies with Catholicism thrown in - and The Exorcist is probably the best of those.

[bikebloke]

40. Citizen Kane & The Sound of Music

I'm waiting for the mash-up - "The hills are alive with the sound of Rosebud...."

As a teenager, I worked in a movie theater that played the sound of music, and I still didn't see it. So on my first backpacking trip to Europe there wasn't a reason to take the Sound of Music tour in Salzburg. Ruined my life.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

42. Citizen Kane.

Never saw it. Not saying I never would, but just never have gotten around to watching it.

[Love Bug]

43. A Clockwork Orange

I saw the first few minutes and that was enough.

[MajorChode]

44. Reefer Madness

[Fire Walk With Me]

45. The Bicycle Thief.

:cry:

[SoxFan]

47. The Exorcist

The weird thing is that I love Exorcist III and have read both "The Exorcist" and "Legion", the book on which Exorcist III was based.

[Xipe Totec]

48. Billy Jack

The theater was evacuated in the middle of the movie because of some stupid refinery explosion.

Craking tower went off like a roman candle, half the fuel tanks are on fire, blah, blah, blah...

Give me back my money, you freaks!

[GoCubsGo]

49. Treasure of Sierra Madre

One of many of the classics I have not seen.

[Lindsey]

50. Citizen Kane. n/t

[struggle4progress]

51. star wars: i was in one of my "sneer at commercial culture" phases

[Tikki]

52. Anything Rocky...anything God Father..

any slasher movie...




Tikki

[The Magistrate]

53. Anything, Sir, With James Dean

Never have, and never felt any particular desire to.

[Arugula Latte]

55. Raging Bull

I'm torn. I love DeNiro, but I hate boxing.

[mitchum]

57. That snuff film where stuff happens
