What films have you NOT seen?

Post by grim_tales »

Inspired by the fact I always seem to be saying "I havent seen it" when we talk about some movies - what films have you NOT seen?

C'mon - I'll start.

I have never seen Titanic, Casablanca or Citizen Kane.

You've never seen any of the Bond movies except TND?!?!?! Where were during those holiday periods Tom? ;) Perhaps they're not shown in France so much as they are over here.

I've never seen Godfather 1/2 or Finding Nemo either :D

Any Kurosawa film, Metropolis (1922), M are probably the biggest titles I should've seen. I own Seven Samurai and Yojimbo + Metropolis and M but haven't seen them yet.
-Taxi Driver
-Blade Runner
These both are masterpieces, both are in my top 10.

It's probably because they're British toff, tea drinking films :D

Tomorrow Never Dies is the best Bond film ever IMO so a great place to start. They're all good fun except for the woeful Die Another Day.

TND is very good but not the best. Goldfinger or possibly You Only Live Twice are the best ever Bonds (IMO) :D

I havent seen Metropolis either but I'm not used to silent films :oops:

I knew I'd forgotten something :D :
-Every single Bruce Lee movie.

I've tried to watch a few of them but always had to give up before the end (too boring, too silly, too slow).

:o No Bruce Lee movies?!?! Wow! I always expected everyone to have seen them. Even non-Lee fans.

I haven't seen tons of films. Just have to get back to you later on this one. Right now I'm off to the pool hall :D

I've seen about 60 minutes of Enter The Dragon, then gave up.

Maybe I would have liked Bruce Lee's movies if I had watched them before all the Jackie Chan/Sammo/Yuen Woo-Ping kung-fu movies.

Not seen:

Any Kurosawas
Any Hitchcock movie (apart from The Birds)
Most Scorcese films (apart from Gangs of NY and Raging Bull)
Most Miyazaki films (apart from Totoro, Spirited Away, Mononoke and Howl's)
Most Kubrick films (apart from The Shining)
Any Halloween films
Any Friday 13th films
Mission Impossible (seen M:I2)
Musa
Failan
Seven Swords
Any Once Upon a Time in China movies (apart from part 1)
Most if not all "3 Brothers" movies (Jackie, Sammo, Biao?)

I'm surprised that Tom and Yi-long have not seen so many supposed "classics" but that's what balances out the universe imo.

Untill a few months ago I hadnte ven seen ANY of the Alien movies, nor did I see Once upon a Time in the West :)
Taxi Driver I've been wanting to see a long time, but still waiting for a good quality DVD for cheap. Same goes for a lot of the other ones.
A lot of these classic hardly get any playtime on TV, while other shitty movies seem to be aired every 3-4 months orso... so that's probably a reason as well...

I don't like to watch movies on TV as they are usually censored like mad.

There already is.

It deserves the 2 disc treatment but it's no biggie at the end of the day.

LOL!

Man, I can't believe some of you guys.

There are of course thousands of films I have not seen, but let me list some of the films that one must see, but I have not.


- Apocalypse Now (always saw the beginning and the surf scene. Whenever I entered a room where somebody was watching that film, these scenes were playing.)

- Godfather 3
- Rocky 5
- Schindler's List
- Rear Window
- The Usual Suspects
- North by Northwest
- Amélie
- The Pianist

@LD:

Let's not forget Lovers' Concerto.
You already have the DVD, so WATCH IT ! :wink:
I know you like Fly Me To Polaris as much as I do, so I'm sure you'll love this one. :)

Fly Me to Polaris is so awesome. It's almost frustrating that Jingle Ma has yet to reach that level of quality.

There's a special edition in Holland I believe, but alas, still havent picked it up. I'll wait a lil while longer :)

Also havent seen Lover's Concerto, Taegugki, and many other Korean classics yet.
I have The Pianist lying around but also still havent watched it. It is the kind of movie that requires you to be in the right mood for it, and just havent had that yet.

Yeah, Taxi Driver kicks ass. Sony will probably do a new SE one of thesedays. The current release is still pretty good though.
