Movies You Haven't Seen and are Monumentally Embarassed About

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm a culprit of claiming to love movies, and yet not seeing a lot of so-called classic films. Films that are often times considered required viewing for certain genres.

The dynamic is though, that the longer I wait to see them, the more embarrassed I become and therefore put off seeing them even more so. It's a tragic, vicious cycle. But, I am here being courageous and hoping to give a little courage too to those in the great embarrassment closet. Come on out, folks, it's a brand new day:

My Growing Embarrassment List:

Close Encounters of the Third Kind
It's A Wonderful Life
The Pianist
L.A. Confidential
The Elephant Man
Groundhog Day
The Bourne Series
Magnolia
Philadelphia
Das Boot
Vertigo
Dial M For Murder
Rear Window

Start with that one, one of my favorites, starts off a little slow like you'd expect from this type of movie, but the last 90 minutes will blow you away. Just a hauntingly beautiful movie that will be stuck in your head for some time after seeing it. And Adrien Brody is absolutely amazing in it.

Grand Illusion...its on netflix instant so I'm going to take this opportunity right now to watch it!

Just saw Goodfellas recently. It's now one of my favorites. I was embarrassed about that one for a while.

My current list:

The Godfather
Rocky movies
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
City of God
Leon: The Professional
Apocalypse Now
The Exorcist


Plenty of others as well.

This video is funny to me because for one, it's Puddy. And, secondly, i have seen neither Rocky nor The Godfather.

RSB- You'll like City of God, Rocky, and One Flew Over.


My list:

Heat (which reminds me of Jim Gaffigan)
The Pianist
Casablanca
Caddyshack
The Lord of The Rings
Animal House
Memento

The professional was not that good, IMO. Forgettable enough for me.

But one flew over was pretty good, but I wouldn't call it a "can't miss" unless you know you like depressing movies going in.

Yu-gi-oh 3D Bonds Beyond Time
......what?

anyways.. Casanova is the only one that I can think of... I took a class on classical films (needed it as a filler) and watched most of it...

However, I don't watch a lot of movies nowadays either... I've missed most of the big names movies currently.. It wouldn't surprise me that whatever gets best picture at the oscars is a movie i haven't seen

Guess I can take 'The Pianist' off the list, thanks to Netflix. Pretty good movie, though seemed to drag for a while.

Caddyshack and Animal House are two of top comedy movies of all time.

I also liked Memento and The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
