I’m embarassed to say I haven’t seen:
Casablanca
Citizen Kane
12 Angry Men
North by Northwest
Rear Window
And pretty much any other pre-1975 classic. I really need to watch TCM more I guess.
Citizen Caine
The Godfather movies
Top Gun
The Big Lebowski

Both of those are surprising because I’ve seen them both dozens of times

Haha, that’s what I thought, but then I’m seeing things like Casablanca, 12 Angry Men, etc… I thought you had to watch those to gain your ‘Movie Card!’
Groundhog Day is very funny. It is a great film.

You know, I never did like that movie. I remember trying to watch it cause I really wanted it to be funny. But, it’s not. It got shut off.

This.
Fucking hilarious.
My wife has so many traits in common with Martha that it is scary.
I can remember watching this movie with my sister-in-law. The scene where Martha throws open the fridge door and gets a chicken leg out, polishes it off, and then throw the bone back into the fridge had us rolling around in hysterics. It’s my wife down to a tee.

First time I saw this film I was fucking rolling on the ground laughing so hard at some of the lines, but this one practically killed me. I had to pause the movie while my dad and I composed ourselves.
Tremors
I do need to see “The Sting”
Another movie needed to see is “Bullitt”

I’ve been known to put that one in my DVD player and skip straight to the chase scene and watch it ten or fifteen straight times at full volume.
I recently saw American Beauty for the first time… amazing movie.
Have yet to see:
Pulp Fiction
Shawshank Redemption
Fight Club
The Sting
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid
…
Terminator…
No it’s okay I can put my own head under the guillotine. Oddly enough I’ve seen all of them except the first. I’m not even sure why.
My short list:
Nick Of Time (Johnny Depp)
Ground Hog Day (Bill Murray possibly my favorite comedy of all time)
Cable Guy (A nice dark comedy with Jim carrey)
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest (Jack Nicholson’s best movie)
^^ Is Nick of Time a classic?!?!?
So long as no one says Star Wars we’re OK!
Y’know…now that I think about it… I envy the one that hasn’t seen any of the original trilogy.
The Usual Suspects
Double Indemnity
The Postman Rings Twice
The Third Man
the shining and sling blade
^^ The Shining didn’t do anything for me.
Maybe the attempt to make being snowed in and using winter as a metaphor for a soul bereft of warmth is lost on someone from Winnipeg.

It depends on your definition of classic.
Then we have to tighten out definition so that it doesn’t just mean movies that I liked or movies from 3 years ago that many, many people saw.
There’s a connotation with the word “classic” that the thing in question is perhaps old enough not to be considered at all modern or current.

Pick a cut-off point. But then it has to be more than jsut time or some flick from the 50’s that no one saw can be a classic.
