We all have at least one. You know…the kind of famous movie that everyone talks about, and when you reveal that you’ve never seen it, everyone gasps. 'YOU’VE NEVER SEEN (insert said movie title here)?!?!? OMG MAN, YOU’VE GOTTA SEE IT!!" For me, the list of famous movies I’ve never seen (and I’m totally OK with it): :dubious: Titanic The Alien Trilogy Blade Runner I’m sure there’s more but their titles escape me at the moment. :smack: List yours? ---

Are you kidding? My friends make fun of me for this all the time. The Godfather series Caddyshack Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Alien. Weirdly, I have seen the rest of the series. Rocky Rocky horror picture show Psycho I’m sure there’s more. ---

I’ve seen every movie mentioned so far. You all are really missing out. ---

The list of what I have seen is a lot shorter than what I haven’t seen. From those mentioned so far: The Big Lebowski The Godfather series Caddyshack Psycho Avatar High Noon Titanic The Alien Trilogy (well, I did see the 1st one, sort of, between my fingers) Blade Runner Of IMDb’s “Top 250 movies as voted by our users” list, I’ve seen 34. > **[IMDb Top 250 Movies](https://www.imdb.com/chart/top)** > > IMDb Top 250 as rated by regular IMDb voters I’m not much of a movie person, I guess. ---

There’s a lot of famous movies I’ve seen (but a lot more I have seen), but the one that always comes to mind is Jaws. ---

> [@joebuck20](#): > > The last two of the LOTR trilogy. I watched the first one and didn’t care for it. I struggled through the second one, then I put the third one in my DVD player, hit play and said “I’m not watching three more hours of the same thing and I have a pretty good idea of how it’s going to end”, hit eject and mailed it back to Netflix. ---

The list would be too enormous. It would be much easier to compile a list of famous movies I _have_ seen. ---
