Classic Films You Haven't seen...
 

...but want to.

There have been a few times where I've said I haven't seen a movie and somebody says "OMG...Why have you not seen that film?!!?"...it must have happened to somebody else.

What are the films you haven't seen but know you should

My list starts with;

One flew over the cuckoos nest
Ben Hur
LA Confidential
Doctor Zhivago
Citizen Kane
The Italian Job (original)

What about you guys? You might even suggest something I need to watch.

The original Ocean's Eleven. Can't seem to find it, not that I know where to look for it in the first place.

Up until last yeat I had never seen any of the original Star Wars films. That has since changed. I still haven't seen any of the Indiana Jones movies though. Oh and E.T.

Raging Bull

How long have you got?

To start with, I haven't seen a single movie named in this thread so far, bar Cuckoo's Nest.

<font color=goldenrod>The Godfather :o Seen bits and pieces, but never the full thing in one go...I'm basically the only person I know that hasn't.

There's a shitload more but I'm too lazy to think at the moment.</font>

Haven't seen any of the Godfather movies.

I kind of just went through the IMDB top 250, and picked the "classic" films I haven't seen from the list.

Das Boot
Rebecca
Cinema Paradiso
The Great Escape
The Sting
The Manchurian Candidate
Cool Hand Luke
Les diaboliques
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

The Maltese Falcon
Taxi Driver

I need to see Bridge on the River Kwai

Sometimes it's a struggle to watch classics because a) you never saw them at an early age
b) the dvds are rare and expensive

I can see how it would be tough to see certain films if you aren't a film geek.

Godfather, Taxi Driver, City of Angels, Scarface, Cool Hand Luke, Big Lebowski, Beverly Hills Cop, Dirty Harry, Citizen Kane, One Flew Over the Coo Coo's nest, Shining (Saw the ending), I'm sure there's alot more.....

I just watched Planet of the Apes the original. It was awesome :D

The Shawshank Redemption

Goodfellas :o

I had not seen Dr. Strangelove up until a month or two ago.

Don't bother! Saw it for the first time a few months back... huge let down.

Ditto :y:

it's amazing

I think it was a letdown too. Not a terrible movie or anything, but not as great as it was hyped up to me.

As huge of a Kubrick fan as I am, I still have not managed to get through 2001: A Space Odyssey.

this kind of counts, but I actually just watched the Road Warrior last night after wanting to see if forever. It was on Encore. fucking sweet movie

so to actually answer this thread: Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

The Original Mad Max movie.

Also, I've never seen any Dirty Harry movies.

Doctor Strangelove
Doctor Zhivago
The Apartment
Some Like It Hot
Sunset Boulevard
Spartacus

off the top of my head

The Big Lebowski is awesome. Fuck the lot of you.

Citizen Kane
The Sand Pebbles
Shogun
Ben Hur
Bonnie and Clyde
The Taking of Pelham 123 (really wanna get this in before the remake comes out)

They did a study at I think MIT and they discovered that only douchebags didn't like The Big Lebowski. So yeah this makes sense.

Oh yeah add the original Rocky to this list. Seen 2 through Rocky Balboa tho.

That's just strange

Yeah I know, that's why I put Rocky on Blu Ray on my Netflix queue.
