MrBug708 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Sitting at home with Strep Throat has given me time to pause and reflect on movies I've never gotten around to seeing, that most people have seen. I'll mostly stick with movies after the 50's The Godfather Trilogy - I did start the first one before I turned it off after about 20 minues Citizen Kane No Country for Old Men CIder House Rules Beverly Hills Cop The Big Lebowski - I want to say I have seen parts of it? Reservoir Dogs Usual Suspects Scream Clerks - Pretty much every Kevin Smith movie Donnie Darko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glduck Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 i have a window open to imdb's top 100 so i can categorize my misses: #9 the good, the bad, and the ugly #21 city of god #25 life is beautiful #27 leon: the professional (note: the fuck?) #30 once upon a time in the west #31 american history x #37 the intouchables #41 the pianist #45 whiplash #52 sunset boulevard #55 cinema paradiso #66 oldboy #67 once upon a time in america #68 witness for the prosecution #69 das boot #74 dangal #77 m #79 amelie #80 like stars on earth #86 amadeus #92 the sting #94 bicycle thieves #95 your name #96 the kid (apparently this is different than "disney's the kid", which i also haven't seen) #98 three idiots lotta foreign films in there i haven't seen. i'm also not a big western guy. best (and most expensive) thing i ever did was basically waste a year of college taking film courses for no good reason. saw a lot of stuff i'm glad i did that i probably would have never gotten around to otherwise.

MrBug708 Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 The only one that really pops out is American History X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakedmolerat Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Bug- Start with Reservoir Dogs, then Usual Suspects. Neither should be missed. GL- American History X is the only one I see on your list that is a must watch. Edward Norton's best role, by far. Notables that I've not seen: Apocalypse Now Wedding Crashers and Swingers Any of the Fast and Furious movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scscsc89 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 das boot is a good war movie -- although there's really nothing new in the submarine genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quack 12 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 "Das Boot" is great, but go with the German version, not the dubbed one. I think it's easily Wolfgang Petersen's best movie. I will never watch "The Pianist." Polanski is a pedophile. I'm ashamed to admit that I've never seen "Schindler's List." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 City of God is a must-see in my opinion. Probably the most notorious on my list of never-seen is either North By Northwest, or Aliens or Rear Window (original Hitchcock). Couldn't make it through Chicago or the Artist, and I never will.

Scscsc89 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Rear Window is one of my favorites. Rope is a good one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUGRDON Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I've never seen Acopalypse Now. I am amazed at how many people have never seen Casablanca, African Queen and other Bogart movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quack 12 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Wait, Orange, did you just write that you've never seen Aliens? Oh. My. God. It's probably the best sequel ever (sorry Godfather II - never saw it), and certainly the best movie in the franchise. Apocalypse Now isn't worth your time. Casablanca and African Queen are both great, but Treasure of the Sierra Madre is my favorite Bogie flick. It's a must-see. Rear Window, Rope, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Dial M for Murder, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Lifeboat, The 39 Steps - all great Hitchcock movies. I've never sat through Gone With The Wind.

Yes I like treasure of the Sierra Madre as well. Badges, badges, we don't need no stinking badges. Actually it's: "Badges, to god-damned hell with badges! We have no badges. In fact, we don't need badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges, you god-damned cabrón and chinga tu madre!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I haven't seen Outlaw Josey Wales and I don't believe I've sat through any of the Dirty Harry movies in their entirety. Pretty sure I thought Lethal Weapon and such were the pioneers of that whole genre (yes, the 40-and-above crowd's heads are collectively exploding, I know).

KUGRDON Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I copied it from a famous quote source which was either wrong or the film was edited. Anyway, great dialogue as was usual for Bogart movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally like action films, but I've never sat through any of the god fathers. I've started them, but just can't do it. I did however watch Gone With the Wind as a kid with my mom, and the ending just pissed me off so much I can't recommend it to anyone. You r ally get no closure after watching the movie for hours.

Scscsc89 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I've never seen gone with the wind or Wizard of Oz. Ive tried to go back to watch a lot of classics from the 60s & 70s. They don't hold up well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even stuff I liked as a kid late 80's early mid 90s stuff just isn't the same now. It's funny as a kid I liked ole yeller, I tried watching it with my kids and made it 15min before turning it off. It was awful, from the acting to the video quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
