The greatest film you've never seen.

If you think not having seen to be synonymous with dismissing, is conversation really for you?

it was not clear that you had not seen them because you left that fact out lol

[wildheart]

Never seen Citizen Kane, Angels with dirty faces, Notting Hill, War Horse, The Exorcist.

According to the American Film Institute (AFI) list of the 100 Greatest American Movies of All Time, #5 Lawrence of Arabia (1962) is the "greatest" movie I've never seen.

So, what's American about Lawrence of Arabia? Aside from the studio that paid for it, presumably.

Any of the Harry Potter films.....not one

+1 on that.

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

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.

None of the star wars films, I suppose I should give them a go at some point!

The African Queen you say...

Ah, you went out on the old African Queen.

It used to pootle past our place in Key Largo every morning but I never got round to a ride.

It was a lot of fun, very nice skipper, we had quite a laugh with the other passengers and I got to hang on to the tiller for about 15 minutes.

Some lovely waterside properties around the marina entrance, you must have had a great time there.

I'm definitely going for a trip next time, when my son and daughter in law are diving.

Great part of film history.
