Highly acclaimed films that you've NEVER seen!

[ColinJ]

Okay, let's complete the Best/Worst film thread set!

Highly rated films that you have somehow not got round to watching, preferably old ones that you really should have watched at some point over the years.
My starter is Gone With The Wind. I have caught one or two scenes on Best Movie Of All Time shows, but that's it.

PS Smokin Joe has pointed out that you cannot possibly know which of the highly acclaimed films that you haven't seen is the best! I have therefore renamed the thread.

 

[Mr Phoebus]

The Full Monty.

All the Harry Potter's.

All the Lord of the Rings.

All the Harry Potter's.

All the Lord of the Rings.

I was obliged to watch the first of each series but made sure that I avoided the rest!

Apocalypse Now

 

[Seigi]

Not really old - But both Inception and Shutter Island, mainly due to the fact that I can't stand Leonardo DiCaprio.

 

[accountantpete]

The Shawshank Redemption - I was convinced that I had seen it but that transpired to be The Green Mile.

 

[potsy]

I'm very proud of the fact I haven't seen any of the following-
Titanic
Ghost
Blair Witch
Dirty Dancing
Gone with the Wind
Or anything with John Wayne in it

Its' A Wonderful Life

 

[MontyVeda]

all the Die Hard films.


edit... friends often say to me "What you've never seen Clarks?" Who wants to watch a film about a shoe shop

Saving Pte Ryan

I just can't summon up the enthusiasm..

 

[MontyVeda]

Saving Pte Ryan

I just can't summon up the enthusiasm..

Same here... if Tom Hanks wasn't in it, maybe I would... but modern war films dont tickle me much

How do you know what the best film you've never seen is if you haven't seen it?

 

[User482]

Citizen kane.

 

[dellzeqq]

Citizen kane.

(makes plans for User482' kidnap..........)

I've never seen 8 (and a half) or Salo or The Birth of A Nation or Intolerance.

Does someone who has never been to a cinema, nor possess a television, "win"?
