Not sure which of these I've seen for sure. Definitely Lord of the Rings, which was great to have for it's day, but never got finished, and is certainly superfulous now. Probably/possibly seen:

Cool World (1992)
American Pop (1981)
Wizards (1977)
Heavy Traffic (1973)

"Movies should be like amusement parks. People should go to them to have fun." - Billy Wilder

"Subtitles good. Hollywood bad." - Tarzan, Sight & Sound 2012 voter.

"My films are not slices of life, they are pieces of cake." - Alfred Hitchcock

"My great humility is just one of the many reasons that I am vastly superior to everyone else." - Ramrod Clerk

I saw Bakshi's Lord of the Rings a number of times at the cinema on original release, absolutely loved it, fantastic use of rotoscope, and was greatly disappointed he never got round to finishing the story.
Fire and Ice had even better roto-animation, a Frank Frazetta painting in motion, also looking forward to the upcoming SE.
