Movies you've not seen but people always raved about!

[GarethH]

People always talk about new movies and how they are looking forward to seeing them. There are so many movies out there which people always go on about but you probably have not seen.

Which movies have you not seen but people have always raved about?

Here's my list, don't go "how on earth can you have not seen that"!!! Keep in mind I'm still a Student!

Blade Runner
Shawshank Redemption
Full Metal Jacket
Goodfellas
Leon
Das Boot
Apocalypse Now
Usual Suspects

[Rollo Tomassi]

Apocalypse Now
Taxi Driver
Casablanca

Hi,

I read your reveiw of apocalypse now - very interesting - just a point but there are a few mistakes - not to sound critical just pointing out - Laurence Fishburne was 14 when production began in 1976 not 13 and the film is now 22 years old not 30 as you state - please don't take this as criticism I'm just pointing things out - also Martin sheen had a heart attack during filming which is why he doesn't look so good for some of the film.

I'd have a look on uk.imdb.com when reviewing a film to get as bit of trivia relating to the title always goes down well.

Good site though and keep up the good work.

[pythons]

There are loads, but a couple that spring to mind:

Deer Hunter
Citizen Kane
On the Waterfront
It's a Wonderfull Life
Lawrence of Arabia
Ben Hur
Sparticus

Plenty more... I do want to see them all.... :)

[Boink!]

The first rule of Fight Club is....

Saw this for the first time Saturday.
Bloody 'eck what a great film! I could never be arsed with the whole thing when it came out, then there was the excellent DVD that came out after. Poo.
Then someone loaned me it [loaned, eh?:nuts:] and I put it on just whilst I was browsing on the PC and was hooked from start to finish.

/egg-face ON

Now I know.:)

Boink!

[Idle Child]

this is an interesting thread topic...

here are the "big & famous" movies i've always been meaning to get round to seeing, but the opurtunity has never arose, come to think about, they're hardly on terrestrial TV regularly, either:

Citizen Cane (the greatest movie of all time.. apparently?)
2001, Dr Strangelove (kubrick fan i am, but just haven't seen these two!!) :eek:
The Godfather Trilogy (and i say i like gangster movies, i look a fool when i say i've not seen these ones in the genre)..

all in all, extremely shocking... :eek:

[searla]

Strangley enough I have never seen a single Stanley Kubrick film:eek:

mmm....methinks I will put an end to that over Christmas, and go on some sort of Kubrick marathon!

....that's when i'm not drinking myself into an oblivion like:clap:

[cervaro]

Never gotten around to watching:

The Shawshank Redemption
The Killing Fields
2001

I've got nearly a fortnight off from January 1st. Must make a resolution to clear that large backlog of unwatched DVD's. :eek:

[Bish]

There's quite a few more as well.
