December 11, 201311 yr 90% of important movies i've never seen. Near with 100 % in my situation. I don't like to watch films. Edited December 11, 201311 yr by AlexRange
December 11, 201311 yr Author re. That suggestion Haus, I have been meaning to watch more Hitchcock, but to be honest I get the feeling I'm probably not going to enjoy them a whole heck of a lot. I don't have a very high brow taste in film, direction/directing ability and stuff don't matter to me as much as whether the film entertains me. That is my main goal: to be entertained. I use TV as a means of more profound stuff and am much more picky regarding it, the short form medium works much better for me. My top 10 films of all time for example is repelete with technically not very good films, but they all make me feel JOY when I watch them (for varying reasons). That's a shade OT, but it feels appropriate. But that's where you're so wrong (respectfully)! There's nothing too ~high art~ about the films at all and they're pretty much as enjoyable as you can get. The reason he's hailed as the greatest by so many is because of his knack of telling quite simple stories in intricate ways, layered with suspense and bringing out the best in visuals/sound/story-telling etc. But most importantly because of his ability to entertain like no other. Obviously genre etc comes into it on whether you're going to get fully behind them, but for a pure film experience you really should watch Hitchcock at his best. There's nothing more enjoyable that going along with the films and unravelling the mysteries at the same as the characters. And 'Vertigo' is the ULTIMATE QOL film so it's practically made for you!!
December 11, 201311 yr I've never watched: Avatar Any Lord of The Rings movie Inception Silence of the Lambs Fast and Furious The Avengers I'm pretty sure I saw at least one star wars film at some point.... To name just a few. My mum has never watched Titanic despite getting two videos of it in the past.

HA, well I DO love me a good QoL (though I doubt anybody or anything is a QoL'y as BARANSKI). I will definitely give them a go, if only because I hate to feel like I've missed out on stuff.
December 11, 201311 yr Fight Club is the big one, not read the book or watched the film. My WHOLE FAMILY has watched this and some of them aren't even that media-oriented so that makes me sad. :( There are far too many films I haven't seen. From the IMDb top 250, the films that strike me most as 'I can't believe I haven't seen this yet': The Godfather (any of them) Schindler's List The Matrix Casablanca Saving Private Ryan Raiders of the Lost Ark Citizen Kane Aliens Requiem For a Dream Singin' In The Rain Gravity Metropolis 2001: A Space Odyssey Die Hard Pan's Labyrinth Bladerunner Trainspotting The Wizard of Oz A Streetcar Named Desire edit: oh and all James Bond films pre-Casion Royale Most of my spare time is spent in part trying to remedy this ever growing list. Although (though I am willing to be proved wrong) Crime/Mafia/Western movies have never honestly been top of my list of things to watch, so that's always hindered me slightly. (Particularly in regards to The Godfather) Edited December 11, 201311 yr by Father Walrus

December 11, 201311 yr I haven't seen any Star Wars films. Also I've never seen The Godfather and know next to nothing about it. Oh and Gravity from the newer big ones, although I think I would enjoy seeing that at some point.
December 11, 201311 yr Any Woody Allen film bar Vicky Christina Barcelona (that I know of, and that was so monumentally abysmal I don't WANT TO) Having now used Wiki as a guide I seem to have seen Bullets Over Broadway too, which is actually very good. Oh but was SO good in his heyday! His work over the past fifteen years or so has been mostly seven shades of dreadful - an occasional bright spot, but nothing to measure up to his most famous stuff in the '70s and '80s. There's the crass sexual fun of his early '70s stuff which is just straight funny, or his finest stuff - Annie Hall, Manhattan, Hannah and Her Sisters, The Purple Rose of Cairo - which is witty, warm and very intelligent, and most importantly to me, featuring such fascinating and involving female characters, which is something he's totally lost lately. If you want a poignant, funny love letter to cinema, you aren't going to find better than The Purple Rose of Cairo. BAL, going off that list, you need to get yourself into Billy Wilder! Such a legendary and adaptable director. Sunset Blvd. and Double Indemnity are Hollywood essentials - and both diva central *.*. The Chaplins too! (Without the divas. Well, he's kind of a diva.) Though I do have to be in the right mood for silent cinema, which I'm sadly not that often. Films on that list I haven't seen: 5. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) 16. Seven Samurai (1954) 74. Das Boot (1981) 77. Once Upon a Time in America (1984) 80. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) Oops.

December 12, 201311 yr Author BAL, going off that list, you need to get yourself into Billy Wilder! Such a legendary and adaptable director. Sunset Blvd. and Double Indemnity are Hollywood essentials - and both diva central *.*. The Chaplins too! (Without the divas. Well, he's kind of a diva.) Though I do have to be in the right mood for silent cinema, which I'm sadly not that often. I shall! I've seen 'Some Like it Hot' and 'The Apartment' and have insane love for them both (the latter especially) so i'll definitely check out the rest soon. Films on that list I haven't seen: 5. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) 16. Seven Samurai (1954) 74. Das Boot (1981) 77. Once Upon a Time in America (1984) 80. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) Oops. :o And PLEASE let that 'Seven Samurai' inclusion just be an anomaly and say you're more widely watched on Kurosawa??
