Rashomon

Election
The Sound of Music
West Side Story
any of the Friday the 13th films
A Clockwork Orange
Mulholland Dr.
any Robert Altman movie with the exception of The Player
any John Ford or John Wayne movie with the exception of The Searchers
Blood Simple
The Big Lebowski
Being John Malkovich (I just saw Adaptation for the first time a few days ago, so this is a priority now.)
Escape from New York
The Thing from Another World and its remake, The Thing
The Big Sleep
Sergio Leone's "Man with No Name" trilogy
Rosemary's Baby
The Omen ('76)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ('74)
(That's not to say that I've seen the remakes of those, I haven't, but who cares about the remakes?)
The Thief of Bagdad (any version, but I'm especially thinking of the 1940 version)
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
The Red Shoes
The Mummy ('32)
8 1/2
JFK
Wall Street
Schindler's List
Dances with Wolves (This one is for a reason, I find Kevin Costner a pretty uninteresting actor. I won't rule out the possibility that I'll sit down to watch it someday, though.)
Double Indemnity
The Apartment
Seven
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Rope
Shadow of a Doubt
The Manchurian Candidate ('62)
The French Connection
Patton
The Deer Hunter
Bananas
Manhattan
Hannah and Her Sisters
Crimes and Misdemeanors
The Usual Suspects
Top Gun
any Terence Malick film
any David Cronenberg film
The Seventh Seal
All About Eve
Spartacus
Magnolia
The Royal Tenenbaums

Bolded, the ones I haven't seen.

[dude love]

Great news, I've got the Australian equivalent to Tivo, and I've set them to record Howls Moving Castle, Spirited Away and Twelve Monkeys. I hope I run into The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and Stalag 17 real soon, they're the ones I want to see most out of the Top 250 I haven't seen.

[Guhndoi]

I've never seen any of the Twilight movies.

[dude love]

I can only assume you've lived a fuller life because of that.

[Jick09]

lol
Unfortunately, I saw the first. Not a mistake I'll make again.

I still haven't seen Blade Runner.

[gwynplaine]

I have never seen a James Dean movie. Only parts.

[dude love]

Finally crossed another film off that list. Howl's Moving Castle. Beautiful film.

Wow. There's a lot. But it's alright, because I know I have lots of stuff looking forward to.

Black Swan
Blade Runner
Braveheart
Brokeback Mountain
Casablanca
Driving Miss Daisy
Flags of Our Fathers
Forrest Gump
Gandhi
Lawrence of Arabia
Out of Africa
Platoon
Pulp Fiction
Schindler's List
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
The English Patient
The Clockwork Orange
The Departed
The Hurt Locker
The King's Speech
The Last Emperor
The Piano
The Sea Inside
The Silence of the Lambs
The Social Network
The Sound of Music

This is actually really bad. I should almost be ashamed.

[mclay18]

Apocalypse Now
Godfather trilogy
2001: A Space Odyssey
Goodfellas
Casablanca
Kill Bill
Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
Close Encounters of the Third Kind

And I know I'm missing some...

[Drizzle]

I haven't seen a single film in the "Fast and the Furious" franchise and I have no desire to.

Only six films in the last ten months. Weak effort dude, real weak effort.

The Treasure of Sierra Madre and Stalag 17 still elude me.

[gwynplaine]

I don't know why but I've never seen "The Lion King."

[DacoitONE]

It's been almost 10 years since the original was made and I'm yet to still watch a single one of the SAW movies.

[The Morningstar]

The first SAW is actually a really good film. The rest though are just rehashes that think they are deep by doing the whole "moral punishment" thing. But they're not, they're juvenile.

[Ipodman]

I realised I haven't seen any of the "The Artist" batch of Best Picture noms O.O

[Schlosser85]

The King's Speech (would like to)
any of the SAW movies (no desire)
The Sound of Music
Citizen Kane
The Exorcist
Dog Day Afternoon
12 Angry Men
Black Swan

[ALP]

2001: A Space Odyssey
Full Metal Jacket
The Artist
The King's Speech
Touch of Evil

[Ant-LOX]

All 6 Star Wars films

I want to see them, but seriously, each time, I hear about Lucas changing them. Who knows what version I'll see when I finally see it.

All 3 Lord of the Rings

A bunch of dudes and elves with beards and horses. Where are the females in this movie? Is it really just one chick? Not that I watch movies for girls, but a land of nothing but dudes fighting over a ring? WTF is that about? I guess I'll never know.

[psylockolussus]

Shrek movie series
The Hangover
The Hangover Part II
The Help

[Drizzle]

Some of you need to get your asses to Netflix.

[bonoferox]

Gone With the Wind
Godfather Part II
Heat
Ronin

[WolfCypher]

The Lord of the Ring
The Lord of the Ring 2
The Lord of the Ring: 3rd Strike

[bullets]
