Those are both on my list.

The Wizard of Oz.

Godfather
Fight Club
Scarface

Yep,I still havent seen the godfather trilogy either.thats on my list as well.Others I want to see for sure are scarface,vertigo,shawshank redemption,dr zhivago and a few other alec guiness movies.Im sure theres more but thats all i can think of for now.Just saw the elephant man last weekend.I had been wanting to see that one for years and years also.finally did it.

Never seen Godfather, Scarface... any Halloween/Friday 13th movie (not really amazing, but they're extremely popular)

dude you need to get started on the halloween movies starting tonight with the first one.

Shawshank Redemption
Boondock Saints

Wow, are you serious?

Just tune in any time this next week on TNT, it should be on sometime

and Silence of the Lambs, but I rented that today

It's hard to answer this question. If they are amazing movies, we wouldn't know because we haven't seen them. I think a better question would be, popular or highly esteemed movies we still haven't seen.

The Hannibal sequels
The Godfather sequels
Shawshank Redemption
Schindler's List
Braveheart
Quite a few of Kubrick's

I'm sure there are others.

Mr parker, i recomend to you specially doctor zhivago, vertigo and scarface ( the two versions). Did you see the elephant man? I would like to see your review of the movie here or in the elephant man thread.

If you were to rent and see 'Red Dragon', 'Shawshank', and 'Braveheart', you'd have one helluva movie night!

And mr parker, i also recomend you some more Alec Guinness movies: bridge on the river Kwai and Lawrence of Arabia, two masterpieces .

And by the way, silence of the lambs was a great movie, red dragon a good film but hannibal is too far to be a amazing movie.

And about the question of the post, i have seen so many movies that i cant think in one that i havent seen.

A Clockwork Orange
Halloween
Taxi Driver

I try my hardest not to watch films with expectations. But there's quite a few films I'd love to see when I get some time:

Stalker
The Finger Man
Bob Le Flambeur
The Maltese Falcon
Marked Woman

Oh yeah, is that movie History of the World Part II supposed to be really good? I've heard a lot about it but never watched it.... yet.

yeah I just said i recently saw it.I really liked it,it was very interesting.it did a great job of showing how cruel people can be and compassionate as well.I had the feeling that the reason he decided to lie down at the end when he knew that would kill him was because now that he got to experice what the world was like finally,he no longer had no more of a reason to live on is what I gathered.what do you think?the acting was great by both John Hurt and anthony hopkins and that was a nice touch they added to the film by showing it in black in white I thought.Its definetely a movie I am glad I finally saw.out of a possible 4 stars I give it 4.

Reservoir Dogs
Citizen Kane
Schindler's List
Apocalypse Now
hmmm i suppose i would like to watch fight club but BRad pitt is a triffle annoying .. and puts me off watching it

I agree with you. I find the end of the movie very beautiful and touching. Yeah, i think that he decided to lie down because he knew that the illness was killig him and that night, he fells that he was a man, a human being, and after that, he no longer had a reason to live.
The movie was so perfect in all the levels: script, direction, acting, etc. John hurt was amazing( how difficult is to act with that massive make up and show that humanity and fellings that he showed in the movie), Anthony Hopkins the same( the scene with him crying when he meets the elephant man at first was very touching) and the supporting actors, from anne bancroft to john gielgud or wendy hiller. Some scenes hard to see( elephant man humillation scene, belgican circus scene, train station scene) and some very touching( Merrick and mis kendall meeting, merrick at trevers house, etc). A definitive masterpiece, four stars from four stars. By the way, it was based in a real story,althought his name was Joseph, not john.

Godfather 2
Aliens(well, not all of it, anyways)
The Illusionist
Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssy(sp?)
Rambo/First Blood Series
Rocky 2
Tiga, Dyna and Gaia: Battle In Hyperspace
The Birdcage

Consider yourself lucky. I've been told I have to see them.

Well, those who mentioned you needed to see them are ignorant. By the way, seeing as your a Campbell fan, I talked to him not too long ago. He's a blast.

United 93 (may see it in the next couple of days)
Several Hichcock films (although I own pretty much all of them, slowly getting through them)
Magnificent Seven (although my parents own it, so I have easy access)
Chinatown (roommate owns it luckily)
Platoon
Apocolypse Now (not a big war movie fan, but in good time)
The Rambo sequels

And Strangelove, don't listen to Solo about those three movies. He is entitled to believe that those movies are no good, but he is an exception for not liking them.

It was nothing but my opinion, of course.

I think if you'd venture outside these forums, you'd be surprised by the amount of people that would agree with me.

See it if you may, I was just stating the opinion of yours truly.

Alien trilogy


There are 4 "Alien" movies, BTW.

Fight Club, Scarface, and Taxi Driver are far from "amazing" in both my opinion, and in that of many others. They're notoriously overrated by the public, and their appeal is mainly based on iconic characters, rather than the movie itself.

...and "United 93" can kiss my black ass. You don't taint the memories of the dead with stories of false heroism just to sell tickets and make it a Pro-USA movie.

Personally, I think I've seen all the "amazing" movies I've ever heard about, or care to see. I've been disappointed more times than not.

I couldn't agree with you more.

Although, I thought "United 93" was fine. Nothing close to spectacular, though. My main problem was that it felt too much like it should have been straight to video.

See it if you may, I was just stating the opinion of yours truly. I'm of the opinion that *almost* every movie is worth seeing at least once. Lots movies are worth seeing twice. Several movies are worth seeing 3 times, but only the great movies deserve to be seen more than that.

Of course. Thats why I said you are entitled to your opinion. I was just encouraging him to see it and make his own judgments. I also based my "he is an exception for not liking them" on the forum AND people I've talked to outside of it. Maybe we communicate with different democraphics.

Hence the reason my list is so long... it just seems like such a risk watching a film deemed to be 'amazing' or a 'classic' as opposed to re-watching something that I know is great.

What would Freud say...

Doesn't matter, Freud was not very accurate in most of his judgments. He just awakened an interest in Psychology that led to the development of the subject.

That's the deal with every movie. There is no movie that EVERYONE likes.

However, since Lock Stock and Snatch are both on the IMDb Top 250, and have been for a long while, I'd say the majority of people like them.

I've never seen any Woody Allen film, Uh....hmmmmm....I've seen most of the real respected movies...oh, I haven't seen Seven Samurai. It's been on my list for years but I can never talk myself into sitting there for over 3 hours for the movie, oy. Have not seen Harold and Maude. And I also haven't seen Lock, Stock... or Trainspotting.

I don't see the big deal about Harold and Maude. I thought it was uninteresting and lame.

I guess they arent up there as classics but ive never seen

SAW or SAW 2
Top Gun
Dirty Dancing
Alien 4
LOTR 3

I guess this is about Citizen Kane,The Third Man,Seven Samurai etc ,ive never seen those either but Film Four is free now so i guess they will all turn up.

Embarassed to say it, but I have never seen Braveheart. And every time someone mentions it, they get all excited, but I just don't seem to get into it.

IMO your not missing much by not seeing that movie.

Citizen Kane is a good movie, but it's kinda overrated, if you ask me. Casablanca is a must see. 'Nuff said. I saw Lawrence of Arabia when I was about 16, but I don't remember enough about it to make a fair critique. I need to wstch it again.

Nightmare Before Christmas
Scarface (although I do own it)
Shawshank Redemption (never caught the ending)
Silence of the Lambs (don't quite remember it)
Boondock Saints

Clerks 2

Cars

I heard they were both really good. I liked the first "Clerks" alot and anything from Pixar I love.

Citizen Kane
Seven Samurai
The French Connection

(adding to my list)
