"Great" Films You've Never Seen

[Doofus]

Obviously 'great' can be subjective, so substitute 'popular', or 'noteworthy' as appropriate.

This isn't some kind of humblebrag or judgement; just films I've never seen.

Love Actually
Lost In Translation
ET
Frozen
Any and all Harry Potters
Any and all Godfathers
Apocalypse Now
Taxi Driver

...more to follow, no doubt.

[Nickp82]

Star Wars, I know I won’t like it so little point trying.

[Pitre]

Citizen Kane. I've tried (and given up) a couple of times...

[thegreenhell]

Most of the above, although I have seen and enjoyed Lost in Translation and Apocalypse Now.

Also:

Titanic
Avatar
Lion King
any Avengers or related films
any Fast and Furious film after the first two

Schindler’s List. I was always put off with the fact it’s shot in black and white, which is a ridiculous reason, really.

I find Citizen Kane to be one I have to appreciate from more of a contemporary technical perspective, with some of the film making tricks they came up with to achieve certain scenes etc.

I can definitely understand being underwhelmed by it.

I don't know how you sleep at night!

[zsdom]

The Godfather(s)
Robocop
Rocky(s)

[bloomen]

I prefer the third remake of The Mattress starring Klaus Kinski, a young Ross Kemp and Dolly Parton.

Harold Wilson did a great job moonlighting as director.

There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance—that principle is contempt prior to investigation.

It’s not possible to not like at least one of those
