Movies you have never seen

I have also never seen Avatar or Titanic and don't plan to. I've seen all of the other films mentioned here, though, but not:

Casablanca
Gone with the Wind
Citizen Kane

and others widely hailed as classics. In fact, other than Universal monster movies, most of the films that I've seen that are pre-1950s are Marx Brothers movies.

Slightly off topic: I've also never seen an episode of Seinfeld or Friends.

Titanic. Avatar.

Zero interest.

Saw ~20 minutes of each of those and was perfectly willing to take hostages if that was the only path to avoiding further exposure. Even my wife, who managed to endure an entire hour [a full 48 minutes longer than me] of "Under the Tuscan Sun" before her urge to slap the hell out of the protagonist forced a channel-change, was bored to tears by Titanic...

Otherwise, I think I've seen all the "AFI Classics"-type films folks have previously listed. Anything produced after 1990 or so and my "saw that" list dwindles rapidly. I catch a lot of brain-candy "movies that go bang" late at night but mostly catch the big hype movies only if they show up on one of the HBO/Cinemax/etc. channels and I'm looking for background noise while I work.

Alright, you've chummed the water, baited the hook and eased it off the back edge of the boat. When Black Barney bites, remember to snap it back to set the hook, then let him run a bit.

I've never seen any of the Godfather movies. Mafia stories bore me to tears.

I've seen the first half of Titanic and the last 30 minutes of Avatar, both on the TV. Slicky slicky films. But I shouldn't pass judgement without seeing them the whole way through.

I've almost finished the Titanic documentary and Cameron seems insufferable.

I actually liked Under the Tuscan Sun.

Grease
Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Cinderella
Gone With the Wind (saw a few of the scenes with the slaves and turned it off in disgust)
Any Godzilla movie
Casablanca

I think we need a list of movies that SHOULD be seen.

But there is so much subjectivity involved I will not create such a list.

I'm better educated on major old movies than I am on "cult" movies, but I remain very underexposed to Martin Scorcese. The only Scorcese movies I've seen are The Last Temptation of Christ (flawed but good), Hugo (forgettable and pleasant), The Aviator (which I loved), and Shutter Island (good but curiously slight). So that means I've never seen;

Goodfellas
Taxi Driver
Raging Bull
Mean Streets
etc.

Also, I really like David Lean's work, but I'm mostly just familiar with his enormous epics (like Lawrence of Arabia and Bridge on the River Kwai). I'd love to check out some of his earlier work.

I'd rather have watched an entire movie about the 3 guys working on the house; they were fun... My wife really liked the book but felt like the movie made the woman seem more pathetic [her word] than necessary/appropriate. Having not read the book, I didn't have a lot of context for the film, but I disliked the character almost instantly. That always makes it hard for me to continue to watch any movie [though love for my wife will keep me in my seat and generally silent...]
