Thought this might be an interesting thread after looking at the other thread: I have never seen: The Shawshank Redemption
IMO, best crafted film ever.....from the direction to acting to cinematography to musical score......it would be very difficult for any future film to supplant it.... classic i've yet to see: Lawrence of Arabia
I have never seen: Any of the Star Wars films besides "Phantom Menace" E.T. Any of the "Godfathers" Trust me, there are many many more.
We just got DVR a few weeks ago and I've been catching up on movies that I hadn't seen. Rebel Without a Cause Bonnie And Clyde Chariots Of Fire All in HD - not bad!
I got on a kick last year about watching "modern classics" and finally saw stuff like Shawshank, Pulp Fiction, LA Confidential, Se7en, and The Usual Suspects. I also watched The Godfather Pt. I last year as well. I haven't seen Pt. II yet. Two movies I have no desire to see for some reason: Casa Blanca and Citizen Kane.
This depends on what you call a classic. But I haven't seen Lawrence of Arabia or The Graduate Here's an interesting list of the "Must See" Guy movies. I have to admit I haven't seen a lot of them... maybe a little more than half. http://www.justaguything.com/100-great-movies-every-guy-should-see/
On my list to see: Raging Bull Deer Hunter Only seen recently: Apocalypse Now Taxi Driver Favorite "Classic" Movie: Planet of the Apes (original version)
Lawrence of Arabia Schindler's List Citizen Kane Godfather (any of them) Scarface The Graduate North by Northwest To Kill a Mockingbird American History X Rebel Without a Cause The Killing Fields (I just DVR'd this in HD last week, so I may watch it this weekend) Apocolypse Now Cool Hand Luke A Clockwork Orange (I tried, but it was too weird...and I like weird) Raging Bull Taxi Driver Goodfellas Psycho The Pianist I just recently got around to watching these all the way through: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest American Beauty 2001: A Space Odyssey
I actually went through a long period of time also without seeing: 1) Pulp Fiction 2) Scarface For Pulp Fiction: Luckily, while I was home from college as a sophomore, it came on unedited on one of those premium classic movie channels. Glad I was able to catch it because it is one of my favorite movies now. For Scarface: My senior year they were playing some "classic" movies at the local movie theater on like Thursday nights. Told my roommate at the time that we should go see it since I had never seen it. So, the first time I got to see Scarface was on a big-screen. I also haven't seen a lot of the movies in this thread: Godfather (saw bits and pieces of it during my film class my senior year of high school, but I mainly used that class to nap. Regret doing that now). Schindler's List (another one that I only saw bits and pieces of during school). Clockwork Orange (tried to watch it on the internet, but the file was corrupted about 20 minutes into the movie) Goodfellas I'd really like to just have some kinda kick where I knock all of these movies out. Maybe I'll make a list...
