Mine is Body of lies 2008. Two of my favourite actors, one of my favourite director, one of my favourite genre and owned it on DVD for at least six years…

I just haven’t watched it yet. 🤷‍♂️

Also, do you own a movie since a long time but you haven’t ever watched?

I sure do!

I bought a copy for a Guilty by suspicion 1991 (anyone seen it?) in a Walmart bin for five bucks about 12 years ago and never popped it yet. Bought it because it’s with Robert De Niro.

You haven't seen Robocop??

You should.

[–] Wint3rFir3 (7386) 3 years ago

At least watch District 9. It's still so good.

[–] actionkamen (23176) 3 years ago

Body of Lies... ummm, not bad but not great either. Also it felt too similar in mood as Blood Diamond, which I think is a better movie overall.

Too many to list, but some classics: -
Casablanca
Citizen Kane
The Deer Hunter

[–] NotoriousRio (12927) 3 years ago

Wow! Casablanca is great, just don't watch the colourised version.

[–] AndyKing1967 (39859) 3 years ago

Thanks for the tip. I watched millions of hours of TV and film and yet, there's loads that I still haven't seen.

Citizen Kane

Illiterate Andy.

Oops! I will edit it now to spare my blushes.

[–] samoanjoes (58607) 3 years ago

You were probably thinking of Raising Cain.

[–] AndyKing1967 (39859) 3 years ago

No, I was thinking of being caned (UK slang for being drunk), but even then it's a misspelling as there's no 'i' in it anyway, so god knows how I ended up typing what I did.

Deer Hunter is one of the most over rated experiences ever. You're not missing anything there.

[–] chilidoggg (14601) 3 years ago

I wouldn't go that far, but yeah, I actually liked Heaven's Gate more.

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

I haven't seen the Phantom Thread yet, even though I love most of Paul Thomas Anderson's movies.

Just can't get excited about a drama about a dress maker, even if it stars Daniel Day-Lewis. It'll probably be great, though.

i think it's his best movie, honestly. & i've liked/loved everything he's done.

i went in with much the same attitude as you - who would want to watch a movie about that? - but i got completely wrapped up in it.

The Godfather trilogy

[–] CrabgrassWilly (1616) 3 years ago

Most all time classic movies from before 1970. Never saw Casablanca, The Sound of Music etc.

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

there are tons and tons of classic films i haven't seen. wizard of oz is probably the most widely seen & famous film i haven't done yet.
