What are some movies you haven't seen that everyone else seems to have?

Everyone has that list of movies they just haven’t seen. You know those classics that when you tell people you haven’t seen them they freak out and look at you like you're some sort of weirdo.

Here my list of classics I haven’t seen

Some rules to layout:
Rule #1 no animation
Rule #2 no movies beyond the 60’s
Rule #3 series count as 1


For most of these I’m pretty ashamed of myself that I haven’t seen them,  I just haven’t gotten around to it (yet).

Pulp fiction



Everyone tell me to watch it. I just haven’t got the time to sit through a Quentin Tarantino movie that is all about words. Sure there are amazing actors attached to the movie (Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta)  but still. Maybe I will though someday because people tend to reference that movie a lot. I just might so i don't look like a fool when they do.

All the Star Wars movie (the original trilogy and the apparently God awful prequels)

                      

               

 (picture in order of film production not episodes) 
haven't  seen any of the Star Wars movies (ive seen most of the episode for the animated show "Star Wars The Clone Wars" and it really good, you should watch it, even if you are like me with no background knowledge of Star Wars) I don’t know why I have gotten around to watch any of the star wars movies, maybe it the thought of sitting through 6 two hour long movies (even though I can sit through 4 seasons of a show in one sitting) it just doesn’t appeal to me especially seeing as how long ago it was and the CGI would seem out dated in my eyes. i think to me the movies would just seem terrible (my opinion)

Saving Private Ryan






Holy shit! Please don’t hunt me down and kill me. I actually have no reason why I haven’t seen Saving Private Ryan. I even know it good, I just haven’t had time (again) I know it a lame excuse I just haven’t been in the mood to watch a very heavy movie lately (and lately is the only time I've had time to watch movies)




The last two Lord of the Rings and the two Hobbit movies

                         



 




Again I don’t know why. I just I haven’t been in the mood to watch 4 three hour long movies and I only just watched the first lord go the Rings: the fellowship of the Ring recently (and by recently i mean today) and it felt loooooooonnnnnnnggggggg. It was a great movie, fantastic in fact, just long. Three hours of my life gone in just one movie (actually I think it was 3 hours and 45 minutes long)


Terminator 2, 3 and 4 
 

                 
video is trailer for Terminator 2: Judgement Day.

I actually have no excuse for this one. I watched the first terminator, its on my list for one of my top 15 favourite movies (a list of another time) I just don’t know if the next three will live up to it or not.

The Pianist


Everyone tell me to watch it. ‘Cant looks boring and I’m not interested’ is usually me answer, no other excuses. Apparently it just like The Boy in the Stripped Pyjamas or Schindler's List, maybe one day.

Alien


I absolutely HATE horror movies (seriously when it comes to my top 100 movie no horror film is in the list) When anyone ever describes this movie its sounds like pure horror to me so I think I'll pass.

Braveheart



I don’t get it. Everyone says it just like a knights tale (which I love, Heath Ledger my babe!) But I don’t see the appeal through the trailers.


Monty Python and The Holy Grail.

Again just like braveheart I don’t see the appeal in the trailer. Simple.


2001 A Space Odyssey




I don’t even know I single thing about this movie all I know is that it in space and it an odyssey. but i know I should watch it and i will (someday)

Al Pacino movies

This might as well have been a list of it own. I know he's supposed to be a movie god but apart from the godfather movies I haven’t seen a lot of his movie
here the mini list inside a list of Al Pacino classics i haven't seen
  1. Heat

 2. Scent of a woman

 3. Donnie Brasco

4. The devils advocate

  5.Scarface




Robert De Niro movies

Like Al Pacino I just haven’t had the time to watch Robert De Niro movies either. And just like Pacino, De Niro is a movie legend. Again I haven’t seen a lot by him. Here's another mini list inside of a list of classic De Niro movies I haven't seen.

1.   raging Bull



2.   the taxi driver

3.   goodfellas

4.   1995’s Casino

5.   A Bronx tale


Honorable mention goes to Rocky 1 to whatever number it ends at. Haven’t seen a single one.

What are some movies you haven't seen but everyone else has? Comment and tell me some of your personal shame.
