What famous/well known movie have you never watched? Login/Join

Just a thought that popped in my head while walking this morning. My list includes: The Wizard of Oz, Any of The Godfather movies, Any Star Wars prequels, and Gone With the Wind. I'm sure many more will come to mind. What's on your list?

I've never seen Citizen Kane.

Nor the Godfather movies; I saw parts of them at work when others were watching it on the community tv, but it's just not my genre.

Grease or West Side Story (not a fan of some musicals, though I do love the Rick Morannis Little Shop of Horrors).

Same here. I've never seen Citizen Kane.

I enjoy watching movies, and I've seen a lot of them, but off the top of my head:

Bambi. I can recall seeing every other classic Disney film at some point, but have never seen that one.

2001: A Space Odyssey. Tried to watch it once when I was a teenager, and fell asleep partway through it because I was so bored. Haven't circled back around to it as an adult.

A few of the "epic classics", like Doctor Zhivago and Gone With The Wind.

Dirty Harry, as well as most of the Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns. Come to think of it, I haven't seen most of John Wayne's westerns either. Just not a "classic Westerns" fan, with a couple of exceptions, like The Wild Bunch.

Many of the famous genre-defining slasher flicks, like Friday the 13th, Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, etc. Mainly because I dislike cheesy slasher-horror movies.


Up until a few years ago, I would have also said the Godfather movies. Since then, I've gotten around to watching 1 and 2, and enjoyed them. (I haven't bothered with 3, on the advice of most folks that it's not worth my time.)

Back in the mid 1970s, there were long lines every evening for The Rocky Horror Picture Show, sort of a cult thing.

I never bothered.

Meh. You're not missing much. The film itself is fairly shit. Rocky Horror was more about being a cult social get-together thing than a "quality cinema" thing.

Of all the ones previously mentioned, the only one I haven't seen is the Rocky Horror one. Not my cup of tea.

I'm a movie nut and watch movies all the time instead of watching regular TV.

Of the movies mentioned so far I haven't seen Doctor Zhivago and 2001: A Space Odyssey

Rogue, I just watched Bambi with our 4 year old, don't bother the spoilers are right Bambi's mother gets shot but I didn't realize big Daddy steps up and take care of Bambi. OH and another thing I didn't know Bambi was a BOY, always thought of Bambi as a girl. How sexist of me.

You missed out - that is/was the best way to watch it. Wink

For me though, any of the Godfather movies.

I tend to get about 5-10 minutes in and then get bored. (Same thing with the Sopranos too)

I envy those that haven't seen Dr Zhivago, I'd love to have the feeling of seeing it for the first time. I was fortunate to see it first run.

I’ve never seen The Wizard of Oz either, nor Citizen Kane. I’ve seen parts of GWTW, but never sat through the whole thing. I saw the first few movies in the Star Wars franchise, because we took the kids to them. Haven’t seen any to follow because I’m not a SciFi or Fantasy movie fan. Same true for Harry Potter.

I’ve never watched Forrest Gump and I never will. I got tired of hearing people quote it.

For material, I reviewed the top 100 movies off all time on IMDB. I haven't seen nearly half of them, and some I've never even heard of. So I'll limit it to what I haven't seen of the top 10:

The Godfather (any of them)
The Shawshank Redemption
Schindler's List
Raging Bull
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Of what others have so far listed, nor have I seen:

Grease
Bambi
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
