Spiderman is the superhero I would most like to kick to death. Though being a superhero he would obviously easily beat me.

Never seen The Jaws. I was too young when it premiered and now I don't see sharks as particularly scary.
Never seen Rocky, I just don't like the setting. (Have seen every Rambo movie though).
Never finished watching Space Odyssey Something ... (numbers) - thought it incredibly boring.
Never seen any of the Planet of the Apes movies.

Anchorman
The Godfather films
Taxi Driver
Mulholland Drive (and also: Twin Peaks)
There's probably a few more, I don't actively seek out "the classics". My bigger crime is not watching The Big Lebowski until around 2010 and then thinking it was just... fine.

I was having a ponder about "must watch" films that I haven't seen, so decided to have a look for lists of "must-watch" films Came across this list of greatest films as voted for by readers of Empire www.empireonline.com/movies/features/best-movies-2/The Godfather is number 1 I have to admit I don't think I've ever seen. But it's been referenced and talked about so much I kind of feel like I've seen it. But fine, it's highly rated. The Empires Strikes Back is number 2. It's a populist choice but it's fair enough I suppose. It's certainly the best of the Star Wars films. I can go with that being highly rated. The Dark Knight is number 3!? Fucking hell it's enjoyable enough but it's not even the best Nolan Batman film. It has a good performance from Ledger, but that's the only really outstanding thing about it. Lost faith in the list after that. |

The Dark Knight is number 3!? It took me until about my third viewing to realise that if you were to take Ledger out of The Dark Knight, it would be a fairly dull film. Pretty much every moment h isn't present is mediocre. It also has the issue of creating a bunch edgy dicks that view the Joker as their idol. So, probably inevitable it ranks high on Internet lists. I don't think there is too many glaring omissions from my viewed list, but rom-coms are lacking. Not seen When Harry Met Sally, not seen Love Actually... actually, not really seen any Richard Curtis film. Can't say I feel too much of a lose from not seeing these. Bad action is a genre I don't really have much interest in, so lots of 80s action films I haven't seen that I expect many saw as kids (Predator likely the big one, don't think I've seen Demolition Man). Don't have any urge to see a Fast & Furious film either. I would always choose dumb horror over dumb action. |

I’ve never seen an episode of Seinfeld. I know this is a film thread but I felt like I should get that off my chest.

Nearly everyone in Love Actually would get so cancelled and #MeToo’d if they acted like they do these days. Somehow the literal sex tourist is probably the least insidious and creepy man in it

I’ve not seen many episodes of Twin Peaks that’ll be my most glaring and guilty omission in my history

Any Batman film since I fell asleep during the The Dark Knight. Basically post 2000 Batmans are trash.

A friend of mine hasn't seen any of the Star Wars, Back to the Future, or The Lord of the Rings films. The horror. We all look down on him for it, but he doesn't seem to care.

I saw the first Lord of the rings, that was enough. Those other series are sort of essential if you want to understand 60% of middle aged man cultural references though

I eventually watched Breaking Bad a year or so ago. Was good, but super overrated.

The other ones are sort of essential if you want to understand 60% of middle aged man cultural references though I had only seen the first a few years ago and found it really dull (although I enjoyed the opening 20 mins or so). As you say, that was enough for me. Went to see it in the cinema earlier this year as a 20 year anniversary thing. Enjoyed it a little more, but still found it filled with Deus Ex Machinas and all over the place pacing. I enjoyed it enough to go see the other two as they were re-released over the next couple of weeks. Now reading the books, playing the card game and looking forward to picking up the 4K boxset to watch the extended versions sometime soon. Can probably say I've safely been converted. |

Breaking Bad, or the spin offs Game of Thrones Sopranos 24 Curb Your Enthusiasm Loads of shit I’ve never seen Similar to me. Also West Wing, NCIS, Sneaky Pete, Ripper Street and the majority of series that people rave about here. Also don't get Studio Ghibli films at all |

THREAD CROSSOVER but the book of Rosemary's Baby is well worth a read.

Had a convo about this last week actually and Titanic is probably the biggest film that I've never seen.

Also don't get Studio Ghibli films at all Agreed (although I have seen the Sopranos and I did watch half the first season of Breaking Bad before I gave up). The films, I've seen all of the ones on here, I think. Flights, wife, etc. |

If you take any baddy out of Batman films they’re all boring as hell. He just sits around looking sad and fiddling with his belt.
I think it’s perfectly acceptable to have not seen Die Hard 2. 1 and 3 is all you need.
I’m surprised at myself that I have yet to see 2001: A Space Odyssey and Chinatown. At this point it feels like I’ve seen them because they’ve been references so often.
It’s more a case of somehow missing the ones that are always (or regularly) on. So in my case:
The Great Escape
Pitch Perfect
Mean Girls
Any of the Superman films except for 4
Jurassic Park 3
Anything by Richard Curtis post-Four Weddings
The Full Monty

I don't know. Pitch Perfect is good fun and worth a watch. And I'm not sure why you would pick Superman 4 as the one to watch. 1 and 2 are classics and still great.
