I also have never been in the right mood to sit down and watch Schindler's List but I hope to do so someday. In fact this thread might encourage me to get in done in the next few days.

Gosh, not only have I not seen the films I mentioned; I haven't seen most of those listed by others, either: only 1 Bond (I think); no ET, no Matrix, no Godfather, no Schindler's List. Far too many to catch up with when I'm always at risk of losing my DVD credits because I can't even watch 4 in 90 days - and that's the minimum package.

There's just too much to watch that's the problem. I've not watched Schindler's List for the same reason as the OP who mentioned it! I'm worried I'll be emotionally drained as a result of it!!!

I was forced to watch it in an English class when I was in school! I fell asleep to not watch it!

Another one I've not watched yet but is sitting on my shelf is Lord of the Rings (trilogy!!) and Rocky V. I'm really really slow at getting around!

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2012" club. I saw 32, which is rather delightful.. I beat Mr. Glass on free films but he narrowly inched me out on total films seen.

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2011" club. I saw 20, interestingly enough. My more realistic target was to see more free films than TheyCallMeMrGlass. I lost.

Lord of the Rings trilogy must be the ones for me.
saw episode 1 in the cinema but was so bored i started annoying the people around me (they were friends of mine...), saw that one again on the tv a while back but fell a sleep about 30 minutes into it.

so didn't bother with it anymore.
haven't seen any star trek movies, as far as i can remember...

Schindlers List is a must see though! can't believe so many of you haven't seen it.
It will drain you emotionally, but it's one you need to see.

I haven't seen Breakfast At Tiffany's either.

The Godfather puts me to sleep every time too - although I do tend to try and watch it as a late-night movie which could have something to do with it.

Other notables that I haven't seen include North By Northwest, Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Raging Bull, The Deer Hunter, The Apartment etc, etc... Some of these I have on DVD too!

Maybe this thread will inspire me to try to watch some :D
