Yep. I saw it once in the theater and have never wanted to revisit it. But I'm glad I saw it.

The Godfather is the big one for me- mainly because I want to watch it and the sequel together and haven’t found the time (the theatrical version of Part 3 was never on video so I won’t see that unless it ever becomes available.) I never watch just parts of movies I haven’t seen, that would ruin them for me.

Added- Supposedly I did attend a showing of The Godfather at a drive-in with my parents, but I was less than a year old and likely asleep.

I was scrolling down the list and everything mentioned i have seen at least once except for this one for some reason. I actually caught part of it during the last Holiday season and thought to myself that I've never watched this one.

Godfather II
The Sound of Music
Goodfellas

Most of the ones already listed, I’ve seen at least once all the way through.

I’ll add Chinatown. I’ve tried watching it several times and, for one reason or another, wasn’t able to finish it.

And since Sound of Music is popular choice I can say that I’ve never seen it at all, which I assume is not the intent of this thread.

I’ll see your Sound of Music, and raise you The Ten Commandments.

I bought the DVD many many years ago and I had watched the movie once and I always wanted to watch the movie again, but there just isn't a day where you say, today I'm in the right mood. Eventually I did watch the movie again, after I watched a Hollywood Reporter roundtable and the writer/director Michael Haneke argued there shouldn't be movies like Downfall or Schindler's List and while I do think he makes a good point about the shower scene and the risk of manipulating the audience, I do believe you should be able to make movies on any subject matter.

"Citizen Kane" and "Lawrence of Arabia".

Interesting that people haven't been able to sit through Lawrence of Arabia or Citizen Kane. One thing they have in common is that neither one has a plot. Another is that they're both portraits of complicated, difficult-to-like men. They both have aggressive cinematography.

Gone with the wind in 8th grade

I did not follow it closely or watch every scene.

You people don't know what you are missing and not seeing the Godfather.

Watch Parts 1 and 2 over a week or half of part one on one day and the other half the next day.

That is what I did in 1994 when I taped it off HBO and it changed the way I watched movies forever.

Can't get through it, tried 3 times. 😴

I never watch movies in parts. Closest to
that is if I fall asleep during a movie and then pick it up later from when I dozed off.

I'm a little surprised by this. I was sleepy the first time I watched Chinatown, but the movie had me so enrapt that I wouldn't let myself fall asleep. Same thing happened with Rosemary's Baby. Something about Polanski just gets me riveted to the screen, even though very little actually happens in the films.

Also, it enables for a great MST3K-ish riff (that got me into a bit of trouble when I blurted it out in a film class) when Evelyn Mulray is telling Jake Gittes about the father of her child.
Evelyn: What do you want from me?
Jake: I want the truth!
Paff: You can't handle the truth!!!

You’ve never watched a film in progress airing on tv or something? I don’t seek out watching only certain parts, but it’s happened for a variety of reasons. Either like I mentioned or I fall asleep or I go to someone else’s house and they have something on already.

Hmm, I guess Polanski just doesn’t grab me the same way. I’ve wanted to finish Chinatown and it never really draws me in enough to want to see it through. I was at least able to finish Rosemary’s Baby but even it took some endurance. Although, I admit, I enjoyed it quite a bit when all was said and done.

I think the only other Polanski movies I’ve seen are Repulsion, which I liked quite a bit and The Ninth Gate, which I didn’t really care for.

E.T. The Extraterrestrial

Jesus. I just looked it up and I’ve only seen 25 of the best picture Oscar winners. What have I done with my life?

Your post had me go through the list of winners (turns out I've seen 38, BTW), but one came out that I've never seen in full: Ben-Hur. But if it's on TCM and that chariot race is on, I'm there.

Another game along these lines, how many times have you seen ALL the BP nominees? Most of the time I've seen all but one, the stuffy British film they always include. It turns out that in all the years of Oscar, only once have I managed to see every film, surprisingly that was 2015 (where Room was totally robbed, I tells ya)

I've seen 46 Best Picture winners from beginning to the end.

I watched about half of Tom Jones and the first ten minutes of Gentleman's Agreement before I gave up on them. Do they count as popular movies?

I’ve seen 42 BP winners. Things get a little spotty before 1986 though and only 2 winners between 1927 and 1956.


And to keep it on topic, going through that list I realized that I have never seen The Apartment, Deer Hunter, or Kramer vs. Kramer in their entirety.

Watch CAVALCADE (1933), THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH (1952) and TERMS OF ENDEARMENT (1983) and you won't feel so bad.

I'm with you on the Room love

As for the BP Nominees/Winners. Winners: 93/93. Nominees: 556/559. Noms I haven't seen:
The Patriot (1928) (This has become a lost film)
East Lynne (1931)
Skippy (1931)
The White Parade (1934)
One Hundred Men and A Girl (1937)
Wake Island (1942)
Sons and Lovers (1960)

Stats are from icheckmovies, btw.

I’ve only seen fourteen of the Best Picture winners. Actually a couple Best Picture winners fall into the category of this thread. I’ve seen The Godfather and The Godfather Part II in parts, and probably have seen the entirety of the scenes of both (or at least the first), but I haven’t sat through either of them I think. They are movies I want to watch in full one day though.
