Directors Movies you've never seen (and are afraid to admit) (1 Viewer)

Maybe it's residual resentment for it beating out Apollo 13 for Best Picture.

Braveheart is better than Apollo 13. So, don't worry, Vickie.

As someone that counts Steven Spielberg as a favorite, I haven't seen The Color Purple, Empire of the Sun, The Sugarland Express, or Duel.

The 39 Steps
Rope
The Lion King

Havne't seen:

Scarface
The Thing
Halloween
Nightmare on Elm Street
Friday the 13th
Many, many classic silent films
Tons of Kurosawa flicks
Once Upon a Time in the West (I still plan on picking up the DVD though)
Many westerns
The early works of John Woo
Many Hitchcock films
And Many, many foreign films any film lover should have seen.

But if I live a healthy life, I think I still have about 50-60 years left to see them all.

Martin, we're the same age and I'm not interested in most of those either.

 

[Steve Christou]

Hate to be blunt but what was the point of some of you guys joining a film forum [okay home theater forum] if you haven't seen all those movies and couldn't care less if you see them or not? Maybe you're more into pop, or computer games? I'm not being sarccy just curious. One recent post mentions just about every well known film ever made, I mean what exactly are you guys watching, anime?

As for me I still haven't seen Amelie (and not afraid to admit it), Vanilla Sky, Chicago, The Grinch, and a bunch of this years and last years biggies, but I will rent or catch 'em on cable eventually. I just don't go cinema as often as I used to, about once a month. Too lazy. :frowning:
