I was recently thinking about some of the "classic" movies I haven't gotten around to watching, figured I'd share mine and see if anyone else was living in a cave this deep.
So I haven't seen:
The Big Lebowski
The Fifth Element
Blade Runner
Total recall
I haven't seen any of the Back to the Future movies since I was too young to appreciate them, same with Ghostbusters.
The Shawshank Redemption
The Green Mile
The Dark Knight Trilogy (fell asleep when I tried to watch)
The Godfather
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Also, I can't stand Quentin Tarentino movies.
So what are yours?
How old are you? I can't figure out how you missed some of those. Have you seen Super Troopers? Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels?
I haven't seen any F&F movies after the first one, and none of the Transformers movies.
I'll be 30 this year. I have seen Super Troopers and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels.
I am 44, and have seen every movie mentioned above, save FF and Transformers. I am stoked to have recently seen North by Northwest, and have Where Eagles Dare in store for the weekend. That is all.

Too late now. You would have to have watched them in your teens to appreciate them. They don't hold up well. Bad movies made popular by nostalgia.
Ghostbusters holds its own though.
My list would be The Godfather I & II and Goodfellas
You haven't seen 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly'? Correct that oversight IMMEDIATELY. 'The Fifth Element' is meh except for the CGI, the rest of your list needs to go into queue immediately.
(shakes head) Next thing you'll be saying you haven't seen 'ALIEN' or 'ALIENS'.

Do not listen to this man. His brain is obviously addled.

But he's right on these. I'd add 'Dog Day Afternoon', remember that it is based on a true story.
Most of your list is comprised of some of my favorite movies. You should watch them!
The Shawshank Redemption is quite possibly my favourite movie of all time.
Watch it immediately.
Of your list, I haven't seen The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, any of the Godfather movies, the Fifth Element or the Big Lebowski
The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, and Goodfellas show up pretty often on basic cable. However, the language in Goodfellas gets bleeped so often it's almost funny.

I've never heard of those .. and I've only seen 2 of ones PubBurgers listed
The Big Lebowski just came back to Netflix!
That sucks man... I look forward to your next post after your mandatory 30 day wtf is wrong with you ban
I haven't seen half of them.
The Big Lebowski
Total recall
The Shawshank Redemption
The Green Mile
The Dark Knight Trilogy (fell asleep when I tried to watch)
The Godfather
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
No wonder I love Classic Motorsports, most of my favorite "classics" are black & white!
Bogie:
Petrified Forest
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Sahara
TCM usually plays old racing movies in May like Speedway, from 1929.
If you haven't watched "Kelly's Heroes," you ain't E36 M3.

You're dead to me.
well neither have I … please throw the dirt on me gently
I confess to having held off on The Big Lebowski for quite a while, just did not seem like it would be interesting. Once I did see it, I was sorry I'd waited all that time. Julianna Moore's part by itself is well worth the price of admission. And no it's not for her first appearance (I won't ruin it for you).
If you haven't seen 'The World's Fastest Indian' dammit you better straighten that oversight out right now. I suggest that you watch the original documentary first to get a feel for Burt Munro then watch the movie. It will amaze you how well Anthony Hopkins nailed him.
'Treasure of the Sierra Madre' really showcases Humphrey Bogart's talent. People make a lot of noise about 'The Maltese Falcon' but naw, his performance there doesn't touch 'Treasure'. 'Casablanca' is pretty good though.
'Shawshank Redemption' is not only a superb movie, it's one of the best novellas Stephen King has ever written.
The original 'Flight of the Phoenix' starring Jimmy Stewart is another must see. Don't bother with the remake, it will leave a bad taste. In fact, the book by Elleston Trevor is excellent as well.
I've never seen any of the Star Wars movies.

Clearly the Force is NOT strong with you.

I'm 33, I've never seen Gone with the Wind, A wonderful life, Casablanca...pretty much any cinema filmed prior to 1980
Lest not forget 'The Duke'
...and Jimmy Stewart

The Big Lebowski is seriously a Top 5 movie for me.
As well as Pulp Fiction, you should really watch it.
