Anything released in the last 3 years. :(

Avengers this week will be the first movie I'll have seen in the theatre since Watchmen. They call it baby jail for a reason.

I've seen the Graduate, but ditto for the other three.

Also:

Independence Day (people at the time thought I was kidding when I told them I had no interest)

Unfortunately, I was roped into seeing Titanic (in theaters) by an ex-girlfriend. Ugh. Even Kate Winslet nude wasn't enough to give that movie even half a star.

I can't even think of how to draw up a list of movies I've never seen; there are tons of them. But then I don't know what the criteria would be for making such a list. The 'classics'? Ameritrash? Blockbusters?

Either way, I'm not shocked about what I've missed. Anything I really want to see gets seen, and the rest I'm mostly indifferent to. And I have essentially no interest in anything older than, say, Kubrick, apart from the Marx Brothers (and even that's mostly for Groucho).

I bold-faced the ones I think you should make an effort for. PSYCHO and CITIZEN KANE are both historically important. They were ahead of their time and worthy of your time as touchpoints.

UNFORGIVEN is a revisionist western and it's pretty much specifically made for people that don't like westerns. Plus Gene Hackman is the fucking man.

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN is fucking great. Character make decisions that make sense (even if in a fucked up way), and it's eminently watchable for a Best Picture winner. Plus Javier bardem is the fucking man.

Never seen it either, but mainly because I have heard it hasn't aged well.

The Graduate sucks like a turbo charged vacuum cleaner.

For those of you who haven't seen Casablanca...man I wish I was you because then I could watch it for the first time all over again and be blown away by it's thermonuclear awesomeness.

God grief man, that list is all over the place in terms of genre and what you have no interest in. What does interest you?

This you only need to see if you're a complete film production junkie. It was groundbreaking for a lot of technical reasons.

If, however, you're NOT the kind of person who gives a shit about that sort of stuff, it's a movie about how the Good White Klansmen saved white women [and thus America herself] from Those Lusty Negroes.

It's a historical artifact that has value as such--particularly when put in the context of the massive and immediate rise of the Second Era Klan [the one that marched on Washington by the thousands in 1925; the one that bombed southern churches in the 60s is more commonly called the "Second Reconstruction Klan"]--it was, after all, widely used as a recruiting tool and general "call to arms." But if you're not ready to dig up both Thomas Dixon Jr.'s and D. W. Griffith's graves just to piss in their long-dead skulls by the end, your soul is fucking dead.
