You've Never Seen What?

I’ve noticed that “You’ve never seen [insert apparently widely watched movie here]?!” is an exclamation directed at me alarmingly often. I simply haven’t seen a bunch of those movies that everyone has seen. I haven’t avoided them, but until now I’ve never made a specific effort to watch them, either. But that’s what I’m doing now. I’m embarking on a mission to fill the gaps in my movie knowledge, and I’m chronicling that journey here.

So I’m making a list—movies I’ve never seen, movies I’ve only seen parts of, movies I may have kind of seen but don’t remember. If they’re important and/or widely watched movies, that is. I don’t need to watch something solely because it exists. So check out the list, send me suggestions, tell me what I’m missing—when in doubt, assume I haven’t seen it. I have a lot of viewing to do.
