What "Classic" Movies Have You Never Seen?
So, we had some friends over last night and the guy started talking to me about classic movies. He mentioned a scene from The Godfather and I told him that I've never seen it. He looked at me like I was an alien and asked about a few others.

So, how about you?

I'll be 40 in July. My best friend loves them all, but it just wasn't a thing in my family. One of these days, I'll do a marathon.

Warning: old guy story.

Back in early and mid-70's they would show a previously released Bond movie on TV on a Sunday night a couple of times per year. It was a Major Television Event. You'd plan to watch it all week, and everyone would be talking about it at the next day at school. You literally had no other way to see an older movie back before VCRs and cable became commonplace, other than waiting for them to be shown on TV by one of the 3 networks.

The Godfather trilogy was one I hadn't seen until relatively recently.

I have never seen Citizen Kane.

You're not missing much. I watched it just to see what the hype was about. I'm sure it was groundbreakingly awesome back in 1940 or whatever, but yeah, not so much now.

I think you are hitting on exactly the reason why most don't watch or even try to.

In THAT era, movies like that were groundbreaking pieces of art. If you try to look at movies from that time you are looking at them through the eyes of this generation.

To me movies like The Grapes of Wrath, 12 Angry Men, Casblanca and It's A Wonderful Life are from a generation apart. You have to love old classic movies in B&W to really enjoy them and they aren't everyone's cup of tea.

Fast forward this thread 10 years and you will have a generation of people saying how bad and cheesy movies are from this era.

Some are certainly more dated than others, of course. Having watched 12 Angry Men just last week again, though, I don't see that as a problem with that one.

I have that movie in my collection...it honestly transcends the eras because the theme of the movie still resonates today. People and preconceived notions, bigotry and prejudices are just as prevalent today as there were when the movie was first made.

I love a good B&W film in my tops are pretty much anything Cagney and the classic dark comedy Arsenic & Old Lace.

That is such a good movie. I started watching it a few weeks ago with my teenagers in the room, they were hooked. My daughter was annoyed with me (in jest) because it forced her off of the internet.

I think you're right in some respects, but not always. Some movies/stories are just sort of timeless and so well-acted it doesn't much matter. I think Casablanca is awesome regardless of when it's made.

Conversely, being a Cary Grant fan, I watched Gunga Din. My god is it bad. The action scenes are comically awful.

But The Philadelphia Story, with Cary Grant, is quite good. As long as you can tolerate B&W movies (some people have a visceral hatred for them, like my wife, there are some really good movies out there to see. The acting was just better, on average, back then, and plot didn't suffer for special effects.
