 Re: Classic Films You've Never Seen I still haven't seen Anchorman. This is one of the films "everybody" seems to have seen that I still haven't.

Re: Classic Films You've Never Seen As of last year, The Godfather and its first sequel are no longer on my list!  However, Citizen Kane, The Searchers and The Treasure of Sierra Madre still are. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Re: Classic Films You've Never Seen I will work at trying to see Seven Samurai and 12 Angry Men, and I will even rewatch The Magnificent Seven to compare.

Re: Classic Films You've Never Seen I do not think there is anyone that would claim Toy Story 3 is a classic. 3 Idiots too. Wow, you really like included just anything, huh? Django Unchained. The Intouchables. lol

I thought I'd follow Thegun on this, and listed those of the Top 100 I haven't seen.

Re: Classic Films You've Never Seen But that list doesn't mean classics. It's like me using the all-time top 100 on Box Office Mojo to make my yearly 2017 list.

Re: Classic Films You've Never Seen I agree, I just didn't know where else from, or where to make a cut about what's considered a classic or not.

Re: Classic Films You've Never Seen Based on some definitions of what a "classic" is supposed to be, I've seen all, or at least 99% of them. Based on other definitions, I've seen somewhere between 7% and 60%.

Re: Classic Films You've Never Seen Algren wrote: But that list doesn't mean classics. It's like me using the all-time top 100 on Box Office Mojo to make my yearly 2017 list. The google list is nearly identical. I can't stand IMDB now, but that 250 list is still solid. Are films left out, of course. But most of us are pretty film savy and know the main classics they haven't seen. There will be hundreds of great films I haven't seen, and they never appear on those lists. But we're talking the main classics. Like Charade isn't on there which is a crime. PS, watch Charade to anyone on here who has never seen it. _________________ Chippy wrote: As always, fuck Thegun.
