What's the best movie you never saw?
 
It stuns people that I've never seen

Citizen Kane
Dances with Wolves
Fatal Attraction

What highly acclaimed or popular movies have you never seen?

Happy Monkey 04-27-2006 02:07 PM

Titanic, except for the skeching scene.

E.T.
Casablanca

And honorable mention to Blade Runner, which I always felt I ought to like, but fell asleep a half hour into both times I tried to watch it.

But I have to say your list strikes me as odd, spexx--why would anybody be shocked? Citizen Kane is one of the greats of all time, but it's ollld. How many people go out of their way to see old films just because they're classics? And Fatal Attraction? Dances With Wolves (which I've never seen)? I have a hard time putting these in the category of "films that you're culturally illiterate if you haven't seen."

:confused: WTF?

I have NOT seen just about ANY of the last 20 recent award winners. Me and the critics don't see eye-to-eye.

Hack attempt. Thwarted and IP-banned. Carry on.

SteveDallas 04-27-2006 03:36 PM

That was so lame, it doesn't deserve being dignified as a "hack".

Lady Luck 04-27-2006 03:42 PM

I have 2 favorites
 
Titanic and The Big Lewbowski.

Shocker 04-27-2006 06:22 PM

Well I heard that the movie your mom was in was really good, but I never got enough courage to go into the adult movie store to rent it...

LOL seriously though, I haven't seen any of the star wars movies or titanic or Citizen Kane, just to name a few.

Those were just the first three that came to mind. Maybe it's the people I associate with. I feel like I often hear myself saying "I didn't see that" when everybody else in the conversation is raving about how good the flick was.

That's me trying to watch Dr Strangelove

Dr. Strangelove is awesome.

Watch the original release, not the "Director's Cut". There really is a difference. IIRC, the original release is only available on VHS.

Mine (with an assist from the AFI 100 Years, 100 Movies List, I'm also including movies that aren't technically "great" but that my friends have been babbling about):

Gone with the Wind
The Wild Ones
Streetcar Named Desire
On the Waterfront
Midnight Cowboy
Sunset Boulevard
Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Saw
The Ring
Ben Hur
Giant
