What Is A Movie Everyone Seems To Have Seen Except You?

For me: Pulp Fiction. At this point it's like a challenge. How long can I resist?
A few years ago I started going back and watching "classics" to see what I was missing. I honestly found Citizen Kane to be a tad over-rated. Maybe its because the whole Rosebud thing has already been spoiled for me. Who knows. I liked it OK, but it didn't rock my world the way so many claimed it would.
Casablanca on the other hand: deserves all the hype it gets plus a few scoops of Citizen Kane's hype on top of it.
Starship Troopers...I never read the book, but from what I've heard from people who have: if you liked the book, avoid the movie.
Avatar: did you see the poster? Have you seen...movies in general? Then you probably know the entire plot.
Godfather...there, I think you're missing out.

Looking at this list makes me think we must be very different people. I want to send you a message of peace from my land.
Man, a couple of you have surprised me...it's a good thing this site is all done over the Internet or I'd have to smack a couple of you guys!

Nobody is missing anything by skipping Starship Troopers, honestly the 80s anime and the newer CGI show were better. The first one was like 90210 in space with nothing but pretty folks. Only good parts were Clancy Brown and Michael Ironside, the later ones are a bit better but are really low budget direct to video.

... and I don't intend to see them either.
There are lots of relatively recent movies that I have not seen, but will: The Martian is at the top of the list.
The satirical style and tone in Starship Troopers is classic Paul Verhoeven. I think that someone who had enjoyed the style and tone of Robocop (the first movie only) would also enjoy Starship Troopers as well. The sequels are B-movies, not worth watching IMHO.

You might be thinking of Dina Meyer who was also in Beverly Hills 90210.

I hated that movie.
It's a wonderful life.
Hahahahahahahaha......pretty much everything outside of the movies I've talked about here at times a list would be too long but to do a short take:
Any of the "classic" films of the B&W era i.e. Casablanca,Gone with the Wind,Citizen Kane,it's a wonderful life et cetera.
Stuff like the Godfather films (who cares is my feeling) the 2001 film I've seen bits and pieces,goonies,Gremlins,ET never watched them,Ben Hur and on and on.
I'm the guy who's watched all the very odd out of the way films and never cared one wit for the ones people go crazy for.

My first thought was, Godfather movies, but I see I'm not alone at all. But having read over the thread, a ton of movies as well.

E.T.
As for Citizen Kane, the most impressive thing about it is that it is totally the work of an auteur, and a young one at that. It also brought to mainstream Hollywood a number of film making techniques that hadn't really been mainstreamed. And there's the whole controversy about getting it made and released at all. For the most part, I think it holds up well, too. Perhaps not as well as Casablanca, but then Casablanca benefits from being a timeless bittersweet romance set within the context of World War 2, so the whole thing just feels, well, timeless.
