I've never seen

Top Gun
The Matrix
Dirty Dancing (not all the way through)
Pretty Woman (keep catching the same bit on the TV!)
ET (not all the way through)
All the Rocky's
Indiana Jones
Star Wars
Sound of Music
Wizard of Oz

Have only recently watched the first 3 Harry Potters!
 
Godfather trilogy, i know loaRAB of people who have the boxset but never bothered to unwrap it. They still make out it's the greatest film but have no answer to why it's unopened.
Shawshank Redemption - no interest what-so-ever
Green Mile - see above
Schindler's List - I watch movies for entertainment
 
Blade Runner
The Running Man
Godfather I, II and III (own them on DVD though, just haven't watched them yet)
Star Wars (I, III, VI, V or VI. I saw Part II in the cinema... it was boring)
Schindlers List
Lord Of The Rings 1, 2 and 3. (Not interested in them).
Harry Potter 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 (Again, they don't interest me... that and I hate Daniel Radcliffe).
Indiana Jones I, II or III
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Casablanca
Rear Window
Citizen Kane
It's A Wonderful Life
Apocalypse Now
Taxi Driver
Das Boot
Bridge Over The River Kwai
Singing In The Rain
2001: A Space Odyssey
The Sting
Fargo
Ben Hur
Platoon

All these movies (bar the odd few) are in the IMDb's Top 250 Films. I don't know why I've never seen them, maybe it's lack of availability in a store to buy/rent, lack of TV broadcast or maybe they just aren't as good/interesting as everyone else makes out!

Paddy :D
 
Clockwork Orange, people always tell me how great it is but somehow i can see me being let down

Rocky Horror Picture Show- this has never really interested me and I can imagine me agreeing with the comments Simon Pegg's character from Spaced made about it.

Magnolia- One of those films that got mostly rave reviews at the time but i can imagine myself hating (like 'short cuts' and 'happiness')
 
actually, on the subject of Blade Runner. If you have the box set then i would recommend you watch the much maligned theatrical cut first. I always found it quite pretentious and a hard film to 'get into' (I attempted to watch it on several occasions but turned it off after 15 minutes or so) but then i saw the shorter cut with the voice overs and it just clicked with me and now i consider myself a fan.
 
Never Seen and never want to:

Citizen Kane
Sound Of Music
Wizard Of Oz
Heavens Gate
Chunking Express
Scary Movies
Hostel
Ten Commandments
Blair Witch Project

I've never seen Titanic. (Seems to be one of those films everyone has seen.)


I saw it and was really disappointed. Everyone said: "trust me, you'll love it" but I really didn't get it at all. I don't see what there is to enjoy about it.

The main thing it seemed to lack was character. There aren't any particularly great characters that you can relate to, so you don't really feel like you're involved with the film, just watching things happen. It was a bit like watching Star Wars Episode I. There're lots of fancy things to look at, but there are no really good characters. I was really bored and just couldn't wait for it to end.
 
Never Seen

Grease
Sound of Music
Dirty Dancing
The Godfather Trilogy*
The Exorcist*
Fight Club*
Resovoir Dogs*
Pulp Fiction*
Shawshank Redemption
The Green Mile
And none of the "Classic" films mentioned like Casablanca, Gone with the wind etc

I have no interest in seeing most of the films I've listed. The ones with the stars are the ones I will watch soon, just haven't got round to, but the old films really don't appeal to me at all.
 
You know, I'm rather envious of you. Those films are in my alltime top 10 and it's been an age since I saw them for the "first" time (Exorcist - 1984, Godfather 1&2 - 1983). I'd love to have that experience again, they blew me out of my chair. Enjoy them, and give us your opinion when you've seen them, as a first timer. :)
