Films You Own But Haven't Watched

[criterionmaster]

Yes, I found this on YMDB, oh well. What films do you own but haven't watched them yet? And if you have any reasons for not watching you can also say. People can post their thoughts on some of them to maybe help that person decide what to watch next.

[captainofbeef]

I have the Spirit of the Beehive on my computer and I rented Ikiru from you Dan, but haven't watched it yet. I don't own anything that I haven't seen though.

[mixed]

Fucking lots! I just dont get round to it
Sweet smell of success
Heart of glass
even dwarves started small
fata morgana
Cobra verde
Its a wonderful life

I'm sure there are some more but thats all I recall for now.

I have the Film Noir Classic Collection Volume 3 that I haven't even touched. I am kinda interested in watching them, but just haven't found the time.

I have a copy of Andrei Rublev that I watched 15 minutes of, then drifted off to sleep.

On my DVR, I currently have Ikiru, Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, Bananas, George Washington, Battle of Algiers, and a few others I can't remember. I really need to get watching some of these.

[criterionmaster]

all of those movies on your DVR are fantastic. You must watch them as soon as possible. I didn't fall asleep during Andrei but it is so easy to, it is a great film, you should finish it.

[criterionmaster]

Movies that I haven't seen yet:

A Night to Remember (1958)
Throne of Blood (1957)
Scenes from a Marriage (1973)
The Longest Yard (1974)

Chariots of Fire (1981)
Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005)
Malcolm X (1992)
Play Misty for Me (1971)
Suddenly (1954)
And some Hitchcocks

Any thoughts on those?

[captainofbeef]

Watch Amadeus, Chariots of Fire, and Longest Yard ASAP. They are classics that need to be seen, whether you like 'em or not.

[misterbalco]

One movie...Love In The Afternoon.

[Clark Nova]

Throne of Blood and Amadeus are masterpieces. Good Night and Good Luck is pretty damn good too. and of course hitchcock never had a misstep.

[sacrilegend]

ie - Edward Scissorhands is really nice, Gods Must Be Crazy... errr... I can't really remember that well, but I'd say with enough confidence that you should leave them for a day when you really have nothing better to do.

EDIT: I can't believe you didn't watch Dogville. Watch it now, damnit!

I hope it is good; my experience with Clint Eastwood hasn't been the best. It is still sealed actually, I bought it at a store that was going out of business awhile back, Media Play, for cheap. I will watch it sometime, but boy do I have a lot of films to watch. I may make a thread "which should I watch next?" in order to help me.

Holy Christ, you have so many fucking films to watch. I do wish you could see Untitled before Almost Famous, but I guess I can live. Punishment Park! Very awesome.

Badlands will fucking blow your dick off, it is so amazing. I really look forward to your thoughts when you watch it. Wild Bunch is also amazing.

[criterionmaster]

Well, I've got Spring Break this week and plan on watching PF either tomorrow or Friday (think I'm busy tomorrow). I'm also really itching to see AN too.

[Clark Nova]

My Favorite Year. My parents bought it for me and told me it's one of Peter O'Toole's best performances. I'll get around to it one of these days...

So much great stuff to watch! Four of my favorite films ever: Shadows, Battle of Algiers, Andrei Rublev, and Opening Night. The other two are suppose to be amazing as well. You got some great watching to do my friend.

There are so many films that I need to see still. I will make a complete list sometime soon. The main reason I haven't watched most of the films is because of this damn Netflix, reading books, AND so many library movies. I really need to get to watching some of the films I have (i.e. Scenes From a Marriage).
