What are some films widely regarded as classics you've never seen?

Some of mine:

Lawrence of Arabia
The Maltese Falcon
The Apartment
On the Waterfront
Gone With the Wind :o
Groundhog Day
The Exorcist
The Wild Bunch
Once Upon a Time in America
A Clockwork Orange
Eraserhead

All of 'em are in my Netflix queue.
 
A Clockwork Orange.
The Day The Earth Stood Still (original)
Carrie.
Dirty Harry.
Any John Wayne Film.
 
I still haven't seen 2001: A space Odyssey, and I love Kubrick films...
 
I'm embarrassed to say this but...

Casablanca
Gone With the Wind
Lawrence of Arabia
And I didn't see Citizen Kane until just recently.
 
The Magnificent Ambersons.

Although in my defense the damned movie isn't available on dvd anywhere.

City Lights
The Great Dictator
Our Hospitality
Bringing Up Baby
All About Eve
Out of the Past
Singin' in the Rain
The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant
Un Chien Andalou
Duck Soup
A Night at the Opera
The Battleship Potemkin
Intolerance
Inherit the Wind
The Rules of the Game
Some Like it Hot
The Sting
Blowup
Picnic At Hanging Rock
Vertigo

And way more that I can't think of...all (Save Magnificent Ambersons) are currently Netflix'd.
 
All Hitchcock films
Casablanca
Apocalypse Now
Lawrence of Arabia
The Maltese Falcon
 
The films of the late, great, Indian director Satyajit Ray. But hopefully I will get to them some day eventually.
 
Same as CBGB list:

Casablanca
Gone With the Wind
Lawrence of Arabia

Edit:
oh, and Ben-Hur

My God, I've actually seen two films that Sarge hasn't. :woot:

Vertigo is good. Not as great as I wanted it to be. But nonetheless it's masterfly directed.

And The Sting is excellent. I liked it better than Butch Cassidy.

Frankly I'm surprised of the films some people haven't seen here. No Hitchcock films at all Parker Wayne?? You'll hit yourself when you finally get around to do it.

For me:

Casablanca
Lawrence of Arabia
Ben Hur (I will watch it this weekend)
The Ten Commandments
Citizen Kane (it's on my DVR waiting for me)
Gone With The Wind
The Searchers
The Elephant Man
Barry Lyndon (this is my top priority to watch right now)

Well, they're all not classics, but they're supposedly good films I've always wanted to watch.
 
:o I have been planning on buying it soon...

I wouldn't buy it if you were going to see it for the first time unless you're that sure it's going to be amazing. You may or not like it. I loved it. It feels slow as hell but it's beautiful. And it's worth the slow pace. You really have to absorb every second the film is on screen.

Good Man.

Or in your own words : See it now !:cmad::woot:
 
True. Very true. I hate myself it's taken this late to see it. I think it's good I've seen other Kubrick films prior to Lyndon. I'll know what I expect more. I know it's a slow film so I just gotta hope I like it.
 
I also have to see Taxi Driver.

I actually may watch it now. I found it on yt.
