Critically Acclaimed Or Highly Touted Movies You Have Never Seen

[Brandon]

What are some well talked about or popular movies that it seems like everyone has seen but you?

Or, highly rated flicks you haven't seen or maybe don't even care to see?

[Blarg]

There was a run of foriegn films in the '90's like The Piano that I had zero interest in watching. Still can't add that stuff to my Netflix or Amazon Cue. 

Suffered through Manchester by the Sea. It to three days to get through it, I kept finding excuses like clean the pool filter,  rather than sit through more of Casey Affleck looking depressed.

Believe it or not, I've never seen Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2.

Never seen E.T.

Pretty much dido and the start of this thread.

I have never seen or cared to see Titanic or Avatar.

On that note, I do have LA Confidential and Chinatown here in front of me in Bluray form. I'll watch them, but for now they are on the list. One we talked about in the movie thread, I still haven't seen There Will Be Blood.

[Stradling]

B you will love LA Confidential. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

Oh this is the shame thread...

On that note I have not seen Blazing Saddles or The Karate Kid.

[Stradling]

I've never watched The Princess Bride all the way through.  

Ive never watched the Lord of the Ring movies.

Yeah, I love Noir. I try to find LA Confidential on all the apps, but can't get it. Broke down one day and bought LA Confidential, Chinatown (buddy told me they are kind of intertwined), and Heat...because well, it's Heat.

Yeah, haven't watched Blazing Saddles either. After seeing all the quotes I'm surprised I'm not banned.

[Stradling]

I haven't see Chinatown either. 

[Brandon]

Haven't seen any of the Star Wars movies after the three in the 80's. Not much desire to watch them either.

How far back do you want to see a movie? It also depends on the what your movie category preference. Casablanca, African Queen, Lawrence of Arabia and Identity are all great movies IMO.

That's why I left it open ended and thought with the group we have here people would just chime in with certain flicks. I haven't watched Gone in the Wind, but also don't expect many others have. It's rated highly, but there is a certain level of modernism and practicality in my question.

Maybe someone has never seen Braveheart or The Godfather. Down to ones most people like as cult classics like Donnie Darko, The Big Lebowski, or Napoleon Dynamite.

It's completely up to the poster what the deem something they may have on their to do list or something they simply don't understand the hype around and never plan to watch the movie.

It's more of an old school thread we would have had here back in the day that was simply a conversation starter and people would chime in at will. No parameters or right/wrong answers. Just simple discourse.

[Stradling]

If you haven't seen Godfather then yes it's a wrong answer.  

[Brandon]

I hadn't seen it until about 30, well past when most had seen it.

I believe it was a holiday weekend and watched all three. 1 and 2 were epic, the third was so bad it was embarrassing.

From what I understand the last one had to be rewritten because they didn't want to pay Duvall what he was asking. As we all know the results were pretty uninspired

I haven't watched Karate Kid and you couldn't pay me to watch it.  Ok, maybe if you paid me a lot.

None of the Fast and Furious movies.

I have never seen Sister Act 2, and that's a movie MrWicked talks up all the time.

Seriously though, im not sure why this one popped in my head,  but ive never seen Apocalypse Now. People qoute it all the time, and it looks great,  just have never seen it.

Apocalypse Now is one of my all time favorites. If you have surround sound it's just that much better
