You may remember my last post about cinema - or, you may not... To be honest, I'm not sure I do...
Recently, however, it occurred to me how many films I have not seen, which people expect everyone to have seen... Y'know, really well-known, famous movies - the kind that everyone has seen... Except, err, I haven't!
So, I have made a list of so-called "must-see movies", which I haven't seen... And here it is!
- Titatnic (I've seen bits of it, but I've never seen the whole film)
- any of the Star Wars films (except The Phantom Menace - and I can't remember what happened in that anyway)
- The Shawshank Redemption
- The Godfather (nor any of its sequels)
- Schindler's List
- Silence Of The Lambs
- Gladiator
- Fight Club
- Saving Private Ryan
- any of the Terminator films
- Reservoir Dogs
- Taxi Driver
- any of the Die Hard films
- any of the Rocky films
- Rambo (although, bizarrely, I have seen Rambo II)
- Apocalypse Now
- The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
- Jurassic Park
- Back To The Future
- any of the Indianna Jones films
- any Star Trek at all, ever
- Braveheart
- A Clockwork Orange
- Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid
- Breakfast At Tiffany's
- The Wizard Of Oz
- The Bridge On The River Kwai
- Top Gun
- most James Bond films (although I've seen bits of some, and I think all of one, but I don't remember which - there was a girl with half an ear in it, I think?!)
- Blade Runner (I've seen parts of it - and I've analysed the soundtrack - but I've never seen the whole thing)
- Citizen Kane
- The Excorcist
- A Hard Days Night
- either of the King Kong films
- Pulp Fiction
- Groundhog Day
- any of the Jaws films
- When Harry Met Sally
- One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
- The Shining
- Amelie
- any of the Alien films (except the first half of Alien 3 - in fact, it may not even have been half)
- The Sixth Sense
- Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
- American Beauty
- Bambi
- The Big Sleep
If you can think of any "must-see" films which I haven't mentioned, ask me in the comments if I've seen them - the answer's probably "no"!
