Famous movies you haven't seen
(OFF TOPIC)
I don't know if a thread like this already exists (Mods please re-direct me if it does), but here goes: (BACK ON TOPIC) What are some famous/and or "must-see" movies you haven't (yet) seen? Mine are: The Godfather Part II (nor Part III) Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull A Good Day to Die Hard Casablanca Gone with the Wind Children of Men West Side Story (either version) No Time to Die Dune (2021) La La Land Bambi Dumbo (1941) |
Well, going by Reddit's top 250 list on my icheckmovies account, the top ones would be:
La La Land Paddington 2 Moonlight The Favourite Lady Bird Roma Manchester by the Sea Annihilation Phantom Thread Moonrise Kingdom The Lobster Call Me by Your Name The Master Eighth Grade The Shape of Water The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward... First Reformed The Florida Project Mission: Impossible - Fallout Hereditary Boyhood The Thin Red Line Dawn of the Planet of the Apes The Nice Guys I haven't seen Top Gun: Maverick, the new Batman, or a bunch of other stuff, either. |

Re: Famous movies you haven't seen
Not sure what my biggest cinematic blind spot is at this point. Using the recent Sight & Sound poll as a guide, I haven't seen News From Home, Daughters of the Dust, and Black Girl, so I guess those films.

I'm ashamed I haven't seen these yet:
Easy Rider Gone With the Wind High Noon Once Upon a Time in the West Singin' in the Rain There's also that 2000 movie with Billy Crudup and Kate Hudson, but I don't think it counts. |
A Clockwork Orange
2001 Jules & Jim Jaws Back to The Future Apocalypse Now Godfather Part 2 Jeanne Dielman Sunset Boulevard Vertigo Chinatown I could go on and on all day. |

I love Gone with the Wind, but it is problematic as h ll because of its glorification of the South and it's depiction of slaves as "just part of the family." Nigh Noon is good but I couldn't tell you why. I haven't seen it in a while. It just a man waiting for stuff to go down. |

One movie on your list I've never even heard of.

There’s many I haven’t seen yet that are considered classics. Not in a rush, as there are so many films and so little time.

Re: Famous movies you haven't seen
Ive never seen Evita.

Far too many to list. It's really rather sad...

Re: Famous movies you haven't seen
I haven't seen any of these "Star Wars" movies... hard to believe they'd make almost a dozen major motion pictures about a Reagan-era defense system! I've always been too turned off by the subject matter to check them out (not a huge fan of political movies). Who did they get to play Reagan, btw? Or did he play himself?

Which movie was it? Jeanne Dielman? There's been a big buzz about that film lately...at least here at MoFo.

Re: Famous movies you haven't seen
I haven't seen:
Malcolm X (although I have it on blu ray) The Last Emperor (I also have it on blu ray) The Act of Killing The Turin Horse Pitch Perfect (have it on blu ray) the last four Fast and Furious movies (although I have the box set with the first 8 on blu ray) |
Re: Famous movies you haven't seen
This is difficult to answer. There are literally thousands of films I haven't seen! Of the more well known I guess are your action / superhero types:
Marvel films, Dredd, John Wick, Deadpool, The Batman, Mad Max Fury Road, RRR. I also don't tend to like musicals so have no intention of watching La La Land. And most kids movies I put on for the kids as I prefer something else so am not likely to watch Paddington, Inside Out etc. I also don't tend to like Oscar Bait dramas. So have not seen Green Book and won't be seeing that Tom Hanks remake 'A Man called Otto' I guess the films that I want to watch but haven't, these are top of my ;list : Summer with Monika I know where I'm Going Key Largo One of our Aircraft is missing Bad Timing Performance Un Flic Johnny Guitar The Rules of the Game Frenzy Went the Day Well Modern Times City Lights Late Spring Fat City Rio Bravo The Big Sleep Infact if anyone can direct me where to start with Howard Hawks I'd appreciate it! |

Rio Bravo The Big Sleep His Girl Friday Bringing Up Baby Only Angels Have Wings Red River Scarface To Have and Have Not I think most of these are at least very good and would make for fine introductions to his filmography. As for where to start, I think Scarface would be a fine introduction. |
