Iconic films you've never seen?

[enyawd72]

It's hard to believe, but despite being a huge fan of horror and sci-fi,
I have never watched:

The Exorcist
A Clockwork Orange
2001: A Space Odyssey

I have also never watched:

The Godfather
Casablanca
Citizen Kane

Of those, Casablanca and Citizen Kane are amongst my absolute favorite films. I've seen 2001 and A Clockwork Orange, and liked both a lot (2001 moreso). I've never seen The Exorcist or The Godfather either.

Other iconic films I have never seen include these 10:

Gone with the Wind
Rebel without a Cause
The Graduate
Taxi Driver
The Sound of Music (I've seen a stage production of it, not the film and not Julie Andrews)
Silence of the Lambs
Friday the 13th
Halloween
Easy Rider
Singing in the Rain

-Jaws
-Alien

I've not seen Avatar either. My wife saw it in theaters with friends, I never did. She bought me the Blu-ray to watch, and its still sealed after all these years.

I've seen every film mentioned except the Exorcist and Avatar.
Avatar because It was a rough patch for me at time and it wouldn't be the same home watching experience. Plus I have zero interest.

The Exorcist because I was raised religious and that was a no go growing up and I just never got around to seeing it as an adult.

I've never seen any of the Harry Potter movies and haven't seen the LOTR return of the king.

High noon and it's a wonderful life I haven't seen.

I’ve never seen:

Alien

You are dead to me…

[Hector]

I have probably seen all the big classics.

Everything mentioned in this post, I’ve have seen.

But Ill try to find something big that I have not seen.

[drquest]

Ok.... I've seen all of the movies listed so far with the exception of Citizen Kane. It is on my list to watch for sure.

So AFI lists these as the top 100 movies and most I agree with. I added a * by the ones I have not seen.

If you like Westerns, you gotta watch The Wild Bunch! Great movie. Very violent and bloody for its time.

Out of that list, I have not seen SUNSET BOULEVARD 1950, DOUBLE INDEMNITY 1944, and IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT 1934.

Man, you and I are alike, lol.

ALIEN and The Empire Strikes Back should be on that list, especially if they listed E.T. The Extraterrestrial (I like Close Encounters of the Third Kind way more).

I agree about Alien and ESB for sure!

Titanic … Avatar

Not my cup of tea

[thunderbolt]

I agree about Alien and ESB for sure!

And Raiders should be a lot higher on the list. Easily ahead of ET as far as Spielberg movies go.

[Mikey]

LOVE Spielberg

IMO, his Sgt Pepper was Schindler's List

Shame it's been almost forgotten by many today

To this day that movie still makes me HATE Ralph Fiennes

Sorry dude, you were just too good of an actor

[Hector]

I agree about Alien and ESB for sure!
