I haven’t seen … The Shawshank Redemption Usual Suspects Schindler’s List Marathon Man The English Patient Out of Africa Unforgiven Finding Nemo Shrek 2 (\* I haven’t seen the recent Pixar movies since my niece suddently said she was “too old” to see those kinda movies. But, someway, somehow, I do plan on seeing “The Incredibles.”) Movies I have seen that my twenty/thirty-something circle of friends have not seen: Shane High Noon The Collector Bridge over the River Kwai North by Northwest Dog Day Afternoon The French Connection A Clockwork Orange Chariots of Fire Amelie ---

> [@tremorviolet](#): > > Galdangit, what’s that Christmas movie that’s aired incessantly every Christmas and stars Jimmy Stewart as a guy who want to off himself? I’m totally spacing on the name. Anyway, I’ve never actually seen that. I feel like I should since it’s part of modern day culture but I know roughly what happens and just haven’t felt like sitting through it… “It’s a Wonderful Life” \*aside to comics fans, Bruce Wayne said he never saw the movie, he couldn’t get past the title. I think that was on a an old B:TAS episode. ---

\*\*Kill Bill \*\* 1 or 2 Any \*\*Matrix \*\* movie Any of the \*\*Friday the 13th \*\* or \*\*Nightmare on Elm Street \*\* movies Any of the \*\*Austin Powers \*\* movies. Or anything else with Mike Myers, for that matter - he nauseates me. **Titanic** There’s a much longer list of movies I \*wish \* I hadn’t seen, but that would take up a lot more bandwidth. ---

I haven’t seen any of the **Alien** movies. I’ve never seen the original **Friday the 13th**. Never saw **Citizen Kane** ---

_Forrest Gump_ And I remain adamant about it! _Schindler’s List_ _The Color Purple_ (started to watch it & the first 5 minutes were too, too sad) _City Slickers_ – the opening credits got on my nerves! ---

As a former movie critic, and one of the top contributors to the Internet Movie Database, I am ashamed ☹ that I have not seen these pictures: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) The Shawshank Redemption (1994) The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) The Usual Suspects (1995) Memento (2000) The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1966) City of God (2002) Amélie (2001) (I feel asleep through much of it, through no fault of its own) The Silence of the Lambs (1991) Goodfellas (1990) Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) The Matrix (1999) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) The Pianist (2002) Spirited Away (2001) L.A. Confidential (1997) ---

I’ve never once seen _Grease._ My wife and most of our friends think I’m crazy. I also, it should be said, have little desire to rectify this situation. ---

I didn’t grow up anywhere near a theater, so I never got that awe of watching movies as a kid. I still don’t have it. It would be easier to list the movies in the preceding posts that I _have_ seen, because I haven’t seen the rest: - the Austin Powers movies - Spinal Tap - The Wizard Of Oz - The Godfather (probably all of them) - The Sound Of Music - Some of the Star Trek movies (couldn’t tell you which ones) - It’s A Wonderful Life - Bridge Over The River Kwai I did, however, see _Ray_ last weekend, as I considered it a must. ---

**Chastain** , I’ve never seen **Grease** either. **Middlecase** , I know they were attempting satire, but for me (and many others) it just didn’t work. It came off more like a Nazi propaganda Bughunt flick. I’ve always thought **It’s A Wonderful Life** was incredibly depressing, for the most part.
