So called classic films you’ve never seen. 14:06 - Aug 27 with 10825 viewsSnipper

I’ve never seen:

Gladiator
Pulp Fiction
Braveheart
The Godfather parts 2&3
Taxi Driver

And loads more I can’t think of.

Not classics, but I’ve heard people rave about them:

Any spaghetti western film
Any Harry Potter film
Any Indiana Jones film
Any Fast and Furious film.

Classic is a much overused word especially in films and pop music. My wife bought a DVD of a film called The Favourite recently because people were raving about it and calling it a future “classic” I think it was one of the worst films I've ever seen.

Snipper, of your list , Ive only seen Pulp Fiction and Taxi Driver. As they say, Taxi Driver is a classic.

Ive never seen any Star Wars, Star Trek , or any superhero fillums, apart from the 1960s Batman with Adam West. Now that's a comedy classic.

I’ll join the ‘me too’ movement here. I rarely watch any films, nor mainstream tv. When did ‘reality’ become lowest common denominator?

I have a collection of approx. 2500 dvd's, mostly films so there are aren't many films I haven't seen LOL. I tend to stream them these days and watch around 2-3 films a week.

Not many on your list I haven’t seen.

One film I did see recently that I wasn’t expecting to like was La La Land. To my surprise I really enjoyed it.

Another that a lot of people seem to rate is Synecdoche New York. I’ve tried watching it several times but it just completely baffles me. I’ve got absolutely no idea what it’s about.

Ha ha, you’re right about the 1960s Batman film. Pure comedy gold.

I saw the first two Star Wars films, both at the pictures, but only went coz my mates were going. I think they’re absolutely shite. Same goes for superhero films.

I’ll have to download Taxi Driver.

Star Wars.

Haven't seen Braveheart either, well not more than a few minutes of it. Utter guff. And Mel Gibson is a massive tw.at.

Taxi Driver is brilliant.

Ah, but what about classics that you've just never got round to, but might still be classics.

Watched Citizen Kane when I was about 30. Brilliant. Didn't get round to It's A Wonderful Life until about 3 Christmases ago - thought it was lovely and moving. Somehow I missed all the Back To The Future series, I've got them stored up for some time I'm feeling miserable.

Watched it'a a wonderfull Life last xmas. Enjoyed it. I like watching old movies, when you consider pretty much all of the people involved in making it are now brown bread, sends a shiver down ya.

It's a Wonderful Life is a great film.

A few months ago my wife came up with the idea of collecting all the Oscar winners for best film on DVD. I picked up loads for practically nothing in charity shops but we seem to have got behind with watching them so I have stopped looking in the short term.

My most overrated film has to be Chariots of Fire which I though was poor.

For my 60th birthday we did Desert Island Screening at local art house cinema. I chose the film and needed at least 30 guests. We had 35 or 36. Casablanca was my choice. Half the guests had never seen it all the way through.

Casablanca is my favourite. Few films can boast so many sayings that went into common parlance. Just to think the film very nearly didn't get made at all due to various difficulties. Quite a few of the cast were refugees themselves.

I've never seen, or had any wish to see a James Bond film!

I doubt if I've seen as much as an hour of clips of them combined.

I can't get enough of John Le Carre films though!

Never seen Top Gun or hardly any other Tom Cruise films because he cannot act at all.
See also Bruce Willis.

Watched 12 Angry Men for the first time recently: amazing film. I think the TV scheduling nowadays is rubbish as you hardly ever get to see the old classic movies anywhere: they tend to repeat the same films over and over.

Whether you think they’re any good or not this is the most impressive achievement- they were about the only films on TV for about 30 years! Surely you saw one even if by accident?

Love film and own hundreds of VHS/DVDs but still haven’t seen some of the all time “classics” mentioned here and all over the place: Casablanca, Citizen Kane, la Dolce Vita, Godfather

Was planning a retirement of fine weed and a pile of films to catch up on but not confident of making it to 75 if I’ve got to keep bloody working until then

I would offer up
born on the 4th of July
Rainman

as 2 Tom Cruise films that are well worth the effort and could be classed as modern classics

Great choice and interesting that half your guests had never seen it. The Desrt Island thing sounds great, you've got me thinking about what I'd choose.
