It has been pointed out to me that I have led a sheltered movie viewing existence.  Many is the movie that is considered popular/must watch/seminal (I said seminal) that I have not watched.  In an attempt to rectify that, I am putting up this thread (which I seem to remember that I've done before, but, I'm too lazy to look for it now).  Below are some of the movies I have not seen.  Please help me by adding some more so I will know what to watch if I ever turn my tv back on again.  Thank you in advance for your help.

Saving Private Ryan
Castaway
Forrest Gump
Titanic
Avatar
Caddyshack
Anything by Akira Kurosawa
Casino
12 Angry Men
Doctor Strangelove
Das Boot
2001 A Space Odyssey

And many, many more.  I did watch Silence of the Lambs for the first time all the way through Saturday.  It was pretty good.

After soliciting suggestions, I have decided to add those I haven't seen to the original post.  I will announce and remove the ones I have seen as I watch them.

Avatar?  Titanic?

Pfah!


Who have you been talking to anyway?  :buck2:

Start with Doctor Strangelove, Caddyshack, and Ikiru (Kurosawa). We'll go from there. This is going to be a project.

They are big, popular movies.  So, I included them.

Haha. This is a bigger project than I thought.

You could always help by suggesting more stuff I'm sure I've never seen.  Like, any of Jim Carrey's movies.  Although, there are certain lines I will not cross and Jim Carrey movies are one of them.

Ace Ventura Pet Detective is hilarious.

That would require thinking Jim Carrey's shtick is remotely amusing.  I don't.  And before you try to 'convince' me, my kids have all tried and I shut them down, too.

I'll be happy if you watch Caddyshack.
