Re: I never saw... (Movie Edition)
Titanic
Lion King
Godfather series
Harry Potter series
Going down the IMDB 250 list:
The Good bad Ugly
12 Angry Men
Inception(tried, failed)
Seven Samurai (owned the criterion too, never watched and sold it)
Once upon a time in the west
Casablanca
Rear Window
Crap, most of the movies made before 1975 on this list.

Re: I never saw... (Movie Edition)
Ray is a huge blind spot in my viewing, so I haven't seen any of those.
Of that list, I have only seen Senso, Smiles of a Summer Night, and Les parapluies de Cherbourg (such a beautiful film) and recommend all three highly, but if you had to pick one, I'd go with either Cherbourg or Smiles of a Summer Night.

Too bad about Cherbourg not being available on Netflix, but I've just added Senso & Smiles/Summer Night to the queue. Shoah just came out on Criterion, but disc 1 (Out of the 4 discs) is in the "Save" section for some reason (On my account, at least)

Time for an update post.
Cherbourg comes on TCM tonight (Since Deneuve is the star for today) Lucked out with that!
Also saw 3 from my list over the weekend: Secrets & Lies (Slow start, but it eventually won me over) and those two Soviet Silents. Liked Strike (Stachka) more of the two (Wild ending)

It's funny... I remember someone on the forum saying this.. and I think I even responding saying they really should get around to it sooner than later... and I think that person quoted High Fidelity in response, but because I hadn't see the film in ages, I didn't get the reference at all. I watched HF a week or so ago, and as soon as they started talking about it, I thought of that conversation.
TL;DR: I'm an idiot.

Re: I never saw... (Movie Edition)
The main ones for me are the Godfather films and Rosemary's Baby, but mostly because I've heard so many go on about them that I know everything in them. I even wrote a paper on the Godfather in film school without having watched it and got an "A."
Plus it's kind of nice to know that there are still great movies I haven't watched yet.

Except for the Lion King, which I took my younger brother to see in 1994 because he won tickets in a contest to a special screening at Radio City Music Hall, I have not seen any of the Disney animated films.

I saw Rosemary's Baby before I knew who Roman Polanski was or what he did. Only film of his I have or will ever see.
So all Roman Polanski movies other than Rosemary's Baby.

Aaand, another update:
Wow. Didn't think I'd be able to track down this many films since that 1st post!
I was really underwhelmed by Pather Panchali. Of the 3 Ray films that I've now seen, only Charulata has left a big impression.
On the other hand, I was completely blown away by Los olvidados. By far, it was the most atypical film I've seen from Bunuel (Although Belle De Jour was also *mostly* straightforward, I was just amazed to see "Bunuel-neorealism" handled so well)
And although I can't say I really loved it, I actually wouldn't mind catching Les parapluies de Cherbourg again down the road.
According to my icheckmovies stats (Movies that appear in the most top lists) these are the biggest ones left:
Los olvidados
Napoleon (1927)
Zemlya
Raise the Red Lantern
The World of Apu
Stachka
Aparajito
Pather Panchali
Smiles of a Summer Night
Dekalog
Shoah
Les parapluies de Cherbourg
Senso
Secrets & Lies
Napoleon (1927)
The World of Apu
Aparajito
Dekalog
Shoah

Okay, I've watched about 3 hours of Shoah, and then I was burnt out.
