I finally saw A Clockwork Orange for the first time just yesterday. I haven't seen any other Kubrick films yet.
 
I've seen parts of it and holy god is there a lot of rape in it.
 
It's a watch it once and only once movie for me, like Last House on the Left.

Classics I've never seen:

Casablanca
It Happened One Night
Bridge over the River Kwai
Any Woody Allen movie
Breakfast at Tiffanys
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Midnight Cowboy
plus several genre films that while not maybe classics, are films that I need to see:

I Spit on Your Grave
Blood Feast
2000 Maniacs
I Drink Your Blood
I Eat Your Skin
any Russ Meyer movie
Teenage Mother
Abby
In fact, there's a lot of Blaxploitation and women in prison movies that I want to watch but never have.
 
A few years ago, I tried to watch the highly praised movies like Citizen Kane, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Exorcist, and I pretty much stopped because I just could not get into any of those "classics.

So, pretty much, many classics I have yet to see, and many of the ones that I have, I was not impressed.

Generally, I watch movies to escape my world for a while, so if it doesn't allow me to escape, I could care less for it.
 
Citizen Cane, Scarface and much much more.
 
i don't understand how you can go through life and not see casablanca...

but maybe that's just me.

my list as made from movies mentioned on here thus far:
Breakfast at tiffany's
Modern times
Close encounters of the third kind
L.A. Confidential
 


I've seen Rocky 3 , 4 , 5 , and 6 but never 1 and 2 . I'm planning on doing a blind buy of the series soon.


Any movie by Alfred Hitchcock :csad:


I've seen some of them and feel like it's not enough.

Also never saw
Casablanca
Ben Hur
The Ten Commandments
The Abyss ( in entirety)
Shrek
Laurence of Arabia
Citizen Kane

I've seen parts of it and holy god is there a lot of rape in it.

Not really; there's only three instances of rape in the film.

1: Billy Boy and his gang making an attempt early in the film.
2: Alex and the droogs when they attack the writer and his wife.
3: The staged rape film during the Ludovico treatment.

Of the three, the first one is a failed attempt, the third one isn't real and the 2nd one is merely implied, although enough to deduce that it actually did occur.

Aside from that the only other depictions of sex, whether the act itself is shown or it's just an implication, is Alex taking the ladies from the record store back home, Alex's vision of the biblical hand-maidens and the final shot of the film.

It's funny how the permeation of an idea or of tone and content can make one think there's more explicity than there actually ever is.

Like how critics condemned the original "Halloween" for violence when in fact there's hardly any violence in the film whatsoever; it's simply the construct of violence seeded by Judith's death, which is furthest the violence ever goes in that film.

Sorry for ranting.

You guys need to go watch more movies.

There. There's a contribution to the intent of the thread.

All definitely worth seeing (minus Donnie Darko for me, overrated nonsense that one)
 
The orginial Star Wars trilogy I have seen bits and pieces on tv but have never actually sat down and watched any of them fully.

Lord of The Rings same deal has Star wars.
 
Too many to name, some of the real classics are hard to find on DVD and they don't come on TV all that often, if ever. For some reason in particular I've always wanted to see the French Connection but have never been able to catch a viewing of it.
 
Hmm, if I haven't seen a movie, how should I know the movie is great? :)

But, okay, there are a lot of movies I haven't seen that are supposed to be great. The Godfather comes to mind. And pretty much anything made before the 60's.

You should be sorry.

Typing rape was easier. :o
