I Have Never Seen ________.

The recent Blade Runner thread inspired me to start a thread of classic, cultish or popular films we have never seen. There are some films that I tell someone that I never saw and they go crazy and say I must see it!! Anyways, here is some I hadn't watched yet, some I may never watch and I state why.
1. The Big Lebowski
2. None of the Ocean's 11, 12 or 13 movies. It has Brad Pitt, I can't stand him and I avoid his films at all cost.
3. Fight Club. Again, Brad Pitt...
4. Ed Wood. If its ever on cable I'll watch it!

That's not a bad thing though. The only one you should worry about is the original. Unless you hate the Rat Pack.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
Why do you hate Brad Pitt so much? He's an able actor that looks good? Just curious as to your rationale. You're tossing the baby out with the bathwater on the Ocean's series as well as Fight Club. Stellar performances all around for Ocean's 11 (wasn't a fan of 12, haven't seen 13 yet). Edward Norton was pretty fucking awesome in Fight Club. I hate the hell out of John Cusack but I don't avoid his films because of that. I generally don't like them but I at least give them a shot.
Lebowski requires the right set of eyes. There is a lot going on under the surface. John Goodman turns in an awesome performance as a Vietnam veteran, as does Philip Seymour Hoffman as a meek yes-man. Fargo it ain't but I think enough time has lapsed that people shouldn't be drawing that comparison anymore.
The Godfather is a pretty boring movie, I finally sat down to watch it a year ago and struggled to make it through. There are some good bits and the acting is top notch, but ... it drags.
I saw Back to the Future for the first time three nights ago. I saw Ferris Bueller and The Breakfast Club for the first time two nights ago.
I haven't seen any of the Star Trek movies, or any of the TV shows.
Fight Club is a classic.
Damn I'm fucked up.
can we expand this to "I finally saw_______and it was_____"?
if so i finally saw Donnie Darko..man what a pile of shit. IMO
It's good enough that it is worth seeing once, just because it is so culturally significant. Kinda like Apocalypse Now and, say, Dog Day Afternoon.
I was watching this AFI top 100 films ever! or some shit a couple nights ago. Of course, I was high, so now I can't remember any of the movies I haven't seen.
Ehh... Gone with the Wind? It's a Wonderful Life. Citizen Kane. a lot of stuff like that. Older stuff. I only recently realized that stuff like the orignal Adams Family or even the Marx Brothers were funny.
edit: Ooooohhhh.... I've seen 2 episodes of the old office, and 5 of the new us office that is now pretty much over, or whatever. yeah.
Ocean's 11 was pretty good, so was fight club. Brad pitt isn't bad in those, I would say get over it. The sequels were a little lame although 13 was better than 12.
I assume you've never seen True Romance. Pitt's best role by leaps and bounds, in my humble opinion. Seriously. Check it out if you get a chance.
And Happy New Year to all!
...Gone With the Wind...
...Casablanca...
...Rambo...
...Predator 1
Netflix is my savior though.

3. The Godfather: Part II (1974)
4. Buono, il brutto, il cattivo, Il (1966)
9. Casablanca (1942)
13. 12 Angry Men (1957)
14. Rear Window (1954)
15. Goodfellas (1990)
16. Cidade de Deus (2002)
18. No Country for Old Men (2007)
20. C'era una volta il West (1968)
22. Psycho (1960)
24. Citizen Kane (1941)
26. North by Northwest (1959)
28. Memento (I saw about half of it)
30. Sunset Blvd. (1950)
And now I'm bored with this, but it looks like I've seen about half of the top 30, and probably a lot less further down on the list. The worst part about it was that I worked in a video store in high school, but never got around to watching a lot of what I should have.
Goodfellas and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly are worth seeing ASAP. Especially Goodfellas.
"Who the fuck cares? I'll dig the fuckin' hole. I don't give a fuck. What is it, the first hole I dug? Not the first time I dug a hole. I'll fuckin' dig a hole. Where are the shovels?"
I used to think Brad Pitt was some male bimbo, but some of his movies really made me change my mind. Snatch (which he specifically asked to be in), Se7en and Twelve Monkeys in particular.
I really want to see The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
As long as you avoid Meet Joe Black, Seven Years in Tibet and Babel.
See True Romance or 12 Monkeys for some of his better work.
All great movies, though a few are overrated. Go rent Goodfellas and Cidade de Deus asap though.
I actually thought City of God was overrated.

I have seen Brad Pitt's older films like Seven, True Romance, and Cool World so I guess I could say I like the younger Brad as opposed to the older. It's like he doesn't try as hard and rides on his name alone.
I agree. It's a good film, but it's too stylistically flashy to really achieve the emotional weight that it should.
That's the best one of the series.
I've yet to see Godfather II and III.
I also haven't seen Blade Runner, but it's on my Netflix to-do list (the latest blu ray release, naturally).
Haven't seen Goodfellas either. Or Apocalypse Now (I rented it from my library, but never got around to watching it).
Finally, I never saw The Seven Samurai, unless you count the Samurai 7 anime adaption (and you bloody well shouldn't).
I also never saw Silence of the Lambs in its entirety. That about completes the list of recommended movies that I'd like to see sometime down the road.
P.S. Never saw the first half of Alien either. Every time it's on, it's at the second half.

What are you basing this on?
I just recently saw Swingers, which blew my mind (it was money baby, it was fucking money.)
As a side note, The Godfather has one main message...don't get in with the fucking mafia...
meh, I like Vietnam war movies better than creepy horror flicks. And there are way too many flashing lights in the last ten minutes of it. Totally drove me crazy, I caught in a theater when it had a theatrical showing a while back. Like, I'm ever so slightly Epileptic(I don't have grand mal seizures or anything), or something, anyway it was really unpleasant to watch.
You've missed nothing.
I wouldn't say that, but if you saw one you would have seen them all.
Ha ha! You have fallen for my double entendre!
I'd say that you can watch the 'classics', and that's all you need.
I tried to watch Blade Runner several times when I was younger, but always fell asleep halfway through. Then I got a chance to seen the directors cut on dvd and loved it.
dude, babel was excellent. meet joe black wasn't bad either, but I can understand why some would dislike it.
I intend to keep it that way.
Most of those are right up your alley, especially BR.
My biggest movie deficit would be war movies. Never seen Apocalypse Now, SPR, Platoon, etc... I think its because the handful of war movies I have seen have all bored me to tears.
