OK, I know I paint myself as something of a film savant... but the reality is that there is a library of classic film titles that I have just never gotten around to seeing.

For example... I have seen Psycho, but I have not seen any other Hitchcock movie. (So no North by Northwest, no Rear Window, no nothing.)

I have never seen a movie starring Cary Grant or John Wayne.

I have never seen Gone with the Wind.

So I am deeply ashamed... but what classic film titles would you be courageous enough to admit you have never seen?

There are lots of classic that I haven't seen, but I'd agree that as a person professing to be a movie lover I do feel ashamed not to have seen Gone with the Wind.

Also, Citizen Kane

As a person who professes to be a movie lover here is my confession:

I hate (and haven't even watched all of) All About Eve! Watced 90 minutes of it and then couldn't take it any more. Can't quit put my finger on it.

I've really caught up over the past few years on my classic movies. I remember not too long ago that I had only seen about 20 of the films on the AFI Top 100 list...now I'm probably only lacking about 10 of the films that I still need to watch


I have never seen a Charlie Chaplin movie - not one. I do plan to buy the Chaplin collection blindly this July though to fix that.

Schindler's List
Platoon
Bonnie & Clyde
Aliens
Gone With the Wind (has anybody actually seen this movie? )

wendersfan

I'm not dead yet. There are plenty of movies I'm eager to see, but if I watch them all now what will I watch tomorrow?

BTW, I've seen GWTW several times, even a few times in a theater.

MrPeanut

Decalogue 5-10. I didn't like the second one and now it just makes me so sleepy.

sd_smoker

Lawrence of Arabia
American Beauty

DonnachaOne

I haven't seen any Woody Allen film, save Alice and Bullets Over Broadway.

adamblast

Tartovsky's Solaris -- as both a Sci-Fi nut and an experienced foreign film/indie fan, I figured this would be right up my alley.

But I guess everyone has their limits. After buying it and falling asleep during 3 tries to watch it, I'm selling it again unwatched.

skar

The Godfather Trilogy
Apocalypse Now

matome

The Godfather Trilogy here as well.

NCMojo

You haven't seen The Godfather or The Godfather II?

By the way, it is technically inaccurate to call it "The Godfather Trilogy" since there were only two films.

MrPeanut

funny, because I'm a little proud of this

Pants

Why? His films are great.

I've seen "Gone With the Wind" several times and I love that film, I must buy the DVD which I haven't yet.

La Dolce Vita
Schindler's List
The Bridge over the River Kwai
Some Like it Hot
The African Queen
Network

Nashville
Ben Hur
Any Ingmar Bergman

Inverse

Wild Strawberries
Schindler's List
Dreyer's Joan of Arc
Any Almodovar
That other Scarface (you know, the one without Paul Muni)

mthiel

There was a time in my life where most of my video rentals were bad films. I am ashamed of that.

I am going to add:

Kiki's Delivery Service
Nashville
La Dolce Vita
Every film mentioned by Mondo Kane
Scarface (30's version)

Mopower

The Godfather movies. Too much hype to live up to, they will never be able to do it.
