Famous Movies you Haven't Seen

Re: Famous Movies you Haven't Seen

Too many to list. Movie's aren't in my top 3 priority list, so I don't really put a lot of time into them. I see maybe 2-3 movies a year in theater and watch maybe 2-3 at home each year.

I know this is the point of the thread but I can't believe how many people have posted that have said they haven't seen The Godfather.

Re: Famous Movies you Haven't Seen

How is this possible?! And you've seen a Terminator, just not 2?!

Why would you put time and effort into watching the first and not watch a significantly better sequel?!

Confusing.

... it's in my queue, I just was pretty underwhelmed by the first last summer so I haven't gotten around to it.

Re: Famous Movies you Haven't Seen

I havent seen any of the Godfathers. Only bits and pieces.
Mainly because I never got a chance to see it.
Didnt watch No Country for Old Men. But I have it somewhere and will watch it anytime between now and later/

Re: Famous Movies you Haven't Seen

Any particular reason you won't see it? I watch it every time it's on TNT.

- Forrest Gump

Semi same with me. Such an epic movie. I guess me and you aren't badass enough to think we are to cool to watch it.

I thought everyone had seen Forrest Gump. You need to get on that ASAP.

Even though I am a major cinephile with some obscure tastes, I still consider The Godfather to be one of the best overall films ever made and certainly the greatest American film of all-time.

Re: Famous Movies you Haven't Seen

What I would like to see....is the guys who either can't be bothered with seeing some of the older great movies or consider them to be "meh"....what THEY consider a great movie.
It should have been a requirement to list your top 2 or 3.

My favorites are LOTR and The Godfather 1 & 2, followed by films like Amadeus and Saving Private Ryan, and then guilty pleasures like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, O Brother Where Art Thou, Moulin Rouge!, and others too numerous to list.

Just because it's old, or deals with "heavy" subject matter does not make a great film, and liking something only because it's old, said to be a classic by people on an internet forum, random critics, or on the AFI Top 100 is just laughable.

This.

I just kind of roll my eyes at folks who would rather watch Avatar for the fifth time than see The Godfather for the first.

Spoiler

And yes, I own Avatar on BD, but that's not the point.

See what I did there?

If it makes your feel any better, I haven't seen Avatar either. I'm just not a big movie guy.

It's worth seeing for the visuals and the overall style. The story is lacking, but it is a Cameron film so that's to be expected.

Well, see, it's kind of tough for me to do that. You might have seen the movies I listed in the "Movies you must watch" thread, and say you cut them to ten films, maybe only two would crack my top ten list. There's a difference between movies which I think are just objectively good versus my favorite films of all time.

For example, I never called The Dark Knight a "must watch" film, but I think it was more so because it was a sequel, and I'm an avid believer of "standalone" films being most recommended (although it works seeing it on its own, it's much better when seeing Batman Begins first).

Re: Famous Movies you Haven't Seen

But TDK is a must watch film simply for Heath Ledger's performance.

It's just a must-watch because A) it's Batman and B) it's ****ing awesome.

Also, A and B just happen to coincide with each other.
