What All-Time Popular Movies Have You NEVER Seen?
I have never seen:

Casablanca
Gone With The Wind
Patton
The English Patient
Citizen Kane
Ben Hur

There are others, but I can't think of them because...well, because I haven't seen them.

:)

You?

40. Forrest Gump
I have never seen Forrest Gump either.

I have also never seen:
The English Patient
Rocky movies
Most Mel Gibson movies (and will NEVER see another thank you very much. I think the only Gibson movies I have seen are Conspiracy Theory, Signs and the Scottish one)
Lion King
Chicago
Anything by Jim Carrey
American Pie
Titanic

There are many more insanely popular movies that I have not seen but these are the ones that come to me right now.

4. Titanic
just couldn't go when I heard that women I knew were going 7 or 8 times. I just figured the movie was not for me.

35. I'll never forget when we got our campus Vanilla Ice to watch it.
Well, LOL, now he'd be our campus Eminem. But he was cool.

And he swore up and down he wouldn't watch the Lion King, finally we got him to, and he cried. I think he even bought it later.

Try it, LOL. The Lion King was the last good movie Disney made without Pixar.

7. Titanic.
A friend of mine said she sat up in the middle of the movie (in a theater) and yelled "sink the F***ing boat already" and was politely asked to leave. I took that as a bad sign and never saw it.

20. Never saw it either
Dunno, no real desire to.
"A Night To Remember" was what I'll go with.

I tend to intentionally miss anything that pulls huge numbers.
Like "Spiderman"

11. Me neither. No Rockys, Rambos, Star Warses, Indiana Joneses,
James Bonds, Lethal Weapons, Die Hards, Godfathers. Many more. I don't do "blockbusters." Also haven't seen Titanic, Matrixes, never watch anything violent, gory, scary, or action.

18. E.T., Citizen Kane, Casablanca
I have no desire to see E.T., although I did like the Eddie Murphy sketch on SNL "I'm Mr. T and I'm looking for my son, E".

Someday, I will get around to renting the other two.

Even before I knew he was a right-wing nut I avoided him for his complete lack of talent.

29. "Lawrence of Arabia" and "The Sound of Music"
And others that make fewer people go into stunned silence.

Just never got around to them - I've been looking forward to "Lawrence" since I was a kid, too. Meant to be excellent on DVD, as I understand.

Didn't see "Westside Story," either. :-)

36. I've never seen ET
and up to a couple of years ago, had never seen "It's a Wonderful Life."

I was also never taken to kids' movies when I was a kid, and never got around to seeing most of them later, so the Disney movies that most of my generation can recite by heart are completely foreign to me (Parent Trap, The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, etc.).

37. Many
But, like Magic Rat, can't remember many! :-) I haven't seen Casablanca, Patton, The English Patient, Apocolypse Now, Citizen Kane, Ben Hur, the Ten Commandments (that's sort of a lie--I did see the first hour or so), Godfather II (I did see the first, and while I thought it was good, I didn't feel as if it lived up to the book), the Deerhunter, Breakfast at Tiffanys . . . that's all I can think of right now!

39. My mom loves "My Fair Lady"...
...so she bought me a copy (I think she wishes she'd had another daughter).

Audrey Hepburn looks great, but I don't get what the big deal was. Rex Harrison won Best Actor for essentially speaking through (instead of singing) some average songs, and Hepburn lip-syncs to another woman's voice!

Kinda freaky to see the kindly old doctor from the old "Buck Rogers" series there...was he EVER young?
