One of the questions from the movie quiz I posted about on Sunday had to do with naming a “Movie you feel a certain pressure or obligation to see that you have not yet actually seen”. I mentioned there a list of movies I compiled a while ago, The Greatest Movies I’ve Never Seen. There were 25 movies on that list, and at this point, I’ve seen 20 of them, so I figured it was time to revisit the list and fill it up with some other classics that I’ve never seen. So here goes:
- After Hours
- All Quiet on the Western Front
- The Apartment
- The Birds
- The Birth of a Nation
- The Bridge on the River Kwai
- City Lights
- Duck Soup
- The Long Goodbye
- M
- Metropolis
- Nosferatu
- On the Waterfront
- Shadow of a Doubt
- Some Like It Hot
- The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Well, that’s 15 movies (including the 5 I never got to from my original list), which should keep me busy for a while. I went a little heavy on the Silent Film era this time, as that’s a period I’m not tremendously familiar with. Indeed, most of the new films are from before 1935. Should be interesting.
Out of those, I’ve seen The Birds, M, Metropolis and Nosferatu in full. I’ve seen parts of the Bridge on The River Kwai, Treasure of the Sierra Madre and Some Like it Hot.
I’m surprised the most that you haven’t seen Nosferatu. I’m reasonably certain you were the first one to suggest Orlock as a vampire cat name…
Heh, yeah, I’ve seen a bunch of stuff from Nosferatu, but I’ve never watched it all the way through. And yes, I did suggest you name your cat Count Orlock:p
