I've never seen a single Star Wars film.
Who else has missed a classic?

I've never seen them either.

If you have never seen it how do you know it's a great film...???
Can't rely on film critics...box office takings ???
A turn of phrase.Originally Posted by mjc1216
As in, a really popular film that everyone raves about that you haven't seen.
Any of the Harry Potter films.....not one

I'm old school, I'd have to say Ben Hur made a huge impression on me when it came out.
(Sorry, misread the title)
I don't know what the best film I've never seen is because I haven't seen it.

Harry Potter (any of them)
Sound of Music
Wizard of Oz
Shawshank redemption. It's quite good apparently.
Also never seen any of the Star Wars (never appealed to me). ET another.
I watch a lot of films, and sort of have an idea to try and watch all of the IMDB Top 250, but just can't motivate myself to watch those.
I've never seen any Harry Potter films or anything with Renee Zellweger in

None of the Star War films. Never seen “It’s a Wonderful Life”, though I keep meaning to. Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad also passed me by.
+1 on that.
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

Re "Classics".
I've seen most of the Star Wars films and they are nothing to get excited about IMO.
Likewise Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings, managed about half an hour of all before I changed channels.
TBH I can't think of a classic I haven't seen but obviously some appeal more than others.
Personally I think modern classics are really dumbed down stories with poor acting and too reliant on special effects, but that's possibly just me.
Cheers,
Neil.
Schindler’s List
Dances With Wolves.
And any of the spaghetti westerns...

Avatar, Harry Potters, Forrest Gump, Independence day, Casino, Scarface, back to the future, Aliens, Predator 1, Rambo
Never seen Star Wars either. Same for Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings/Hobbit and similar tosh.
Not really a fan of most films so many mentioned here I haven't seen either - Schindler’s List, Dances With Wolves, Sound of Music, Wizard of Oz.
Never seen any of Lord of the Rings, now I can’t get past the idea of spending 11 hours ish watching 3 movies.
How would you know they're great unless you've seen them?
I've never watched the whole of a Harry Potter film, but what I saw of the ones I've seen bits of don't classify them as 'great' to me.
I've not seen Dr. Zhivago and I'm not sure I've seen Bridge on the River Kwai all the way through, although I probably did decades ago.
Not as good as the hype suggests, though.

Watched the original "Omen" last night. Anything with Lee Remick is worth watching. Oneof the better films of the genre.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
I agree Eddie that's a classic movie, unsettling . I find it on par with The Exorcist. Similar era and just that whole psychological thing going on

Titanic - always figured I knew the ending!
You predicted the alien spacecraft saving them? I never saw that coming, myself!

And one of the scariest, not relying on special effects. And yes, Lee Remick!

Lawrence of Arabia, The Bridge on the River Kwai, and The African Queen are some of my all-time favorites, all from producer Sam Spiegel. I first saw these as a kid, before I knew they were classics, in the early 80s on videocassette tape, but I was lucky to catch Lawrence of Arabia recently with my 12-year-old son at our local cinema. After so many years, the scenes and dialogue from the film were dreamlike, like reliving a part of my childhood.
The African Queen you say...
I’m glad you had that experience when you were reunited with Lawrence of Arabia; I get that feeling every time I watch it.
Cool hand Luke and The Hustler are what I define as great movies. I find I look back to great movies rather than forward. Angels with dirty faces was a great movie. The Poseidon adventure a great movie. Raiders of the lost Ark , back to the future all great movies.

I love Fitzcarraldo, but have not seen Aguirre, the Wrath of God.
Any of the Godfather trilogy, much to the disgust of one of my friends.
It's a Wonderful Life, despite my wife being convinced it was my favourite ever film.
Schindler's List.
Dave E
Skating away on the thin ice of a new day
The Silence of the Lambs. Never seen it. Not the urge to see it.

Apocalypse Now
Me too. A glaring omission that I have bought on dvd and blu ray.... :-0
The Shawshank Redemption. Been meaning to get round to it .. actually since it came out come to think of it.
never seen apocalypse now, good morning vietnam, deerhunter, any of that genre.
same with the arabias and ben hurs etc
I’m think there are a few David Lean films you might enjoy, if you haven’t already. L of A is very epic, as is Zhivago, but Brief Encounter shows just how well he handles the unspoken side of relationships, which is a feature of the epics as well.
My favourite film-maker as you might have guessed.
