Movies I Haven’t Seen

In honor of Groundhog Day being today, and the movie of the same name (which I haven’t seen), I thought I’d compile a list of other well known/loved movies I’ve never seen. Warning: this list has been known to piss off everyone from film buffs to casual viewers.

  • Titanic
  • Top Gun
  • The Godfather (pts. 1-3)
  • The Lord of the Rings (pts. 1-3)
  • The Rock
  • Avatar
  • Raging Bull
  • Raiders of the Lost Ark
  • Rocky
  • Rain Man
  • Gone With The Wind
  • The Iron Giant
  • Dirty Dancing
  • The Graduate

However, I DO own the film Cabin Boy on DVD, so… I know movies.

    Meh, irritating, but not infuriating. My...school department chair had never seen Star...

    Wind. Doin’ good!
  4. seulery said: This is crazy. You are missing some good stuff. Don’t watch Iron Giant. Awful.
  5. thepathealy said: You need only see GODFATHER and GODFATHER II, RAGING BULL, RAIDERS(Really???) and THE GRADUATE. Some of the others are good, or not, but not essential. Except maybe ROCKY. You should see ROCKY, c’mon! I also am fond of CABIN BOY.
  6. audsandends said: I am literally wearing a Rocky t-shirt right now. I think you have a sickness.
  7. garvs said: I have a similarly offensive list.
  8. popculturebrain said: Thanks for having the guts to admit you haven’t seen Titanic, The Godfather, LOTR, Raiders, and Rocky.
  9. aubreybell said: I’ve never seen LOTR either, but I’m pretty sure the thing that pisses people off about that is when I pretend to fall asleep during a conversation about LOTR. And, I mean, re: Titanic — you were just waiting til it came out in 3D, right?
  10. sunshinemakesmehigh said: Holy shit Horwitz. Top Gun should be our next Breakfast for Dinner selection.
  11. flamelikeme said: we remain the last in the world to have not (and never will) seen Avatar
  12. thehotelyorba said: The only movie that really matters is Top Gun. Best soundtrack of all time.
  13. burbanked said: It’s one thing not to have seen them; but do you have an interest in seeing any of them? Making an effort? Or defiantly staying away?
  14. lizdexia said: I’ve never seen Titanic either! Everyone always looks at me like I’m a murderer when I admit to this so it’s kind of become a lifelong goal to NEVER see it.
  15. ifnwhen said: It seems like it would’ve taken way more effort to avoid most of these movies than to watch them.
  16. jprescott said: My questioning is - do you find yourself (even subconsciously) avoiding these movies because of the strong emotional reaction you get when you lay them into conversation? Just curious.

  18. boxofcakemix said: Once you see Dirty Dancing you must watch the soul gripping Dirty Dancing Havana Night’s…it will make you want to samba and cha cha all day long
  19. babydentures said: most of these movies were not being rerun constantly on the usa network, so havent seen them either. not true with dirty dancing and groundhogs day. i saw the graduate on tv but they cut out a lot of important stuff and it didnt make any sense
  20. synecdoche said: I haven’t seen most of these either but I’m offended you haven’t seen Top Gun. Not as a film grad/movie buff, but as a person who is really into homoerotic volleyball matches.
