1. Citizen Kane (1941)
Family Guy made a reference to this film once. Peter edited himself over a rented tape of Citizen Kane with him saying "It's a sled! There I just saved you 3 hours" right after somebody laying in a bed said "Rosebud".

That is all that I know about this film.

2. A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)
Sorry true believers of Mr. Lays...I do not have a clue what this film is about. My wife threatened to divorce me if I didn't see this film by my next birthday! (June 4)

People who added this item 1110  Average listal rating (678 ratings) 8  IMDB Rating 8.6 
3. Apocalypse Now (1979)
The first of many war movies that I have slept on. I will turn in my Oliver Stone t-shirt.

4. Full Metal Jacket (1987)
I know I know you can take remove me off of your friend list now. I have not seen this movie.

People who added this item 552  Average listal rating (367 ratings) 7.9  IMDB Rating 8.3 
5. Unforgiven (1992)
Eastwood is to westerns.
As fish are to water.

Huh, I know that's not a very good one. But you see the point I am trying to make.

I have heard numerous times that this film is awesome. I cannot wait to get my hands on it.

6. The Maltese Falcon (1941)
Other than some explosive car chase scene that people constantly reference to. I have no idea what the film is about.

People who added this item 902  Average listal rating (547 ratings) 8.4  IMDB Rating 8.7 
7. Dr. Strangelove, or: How I Learned to Stop W... (1964)
Something about an atomic bomb making right?!
A kind of satirical view on war?

People who added this item 1230  Average listal rating (775 ratings) 8.5  IMDB Rating
8. The Godfather Part II (1974)
The Godfather is iconic in every way, shape and form. So why haven't I seen the follow up? I don't know?

People who added this item 317  Average listal rating (204 ratings) 7.3  IMDB Rating 7.3 
9. Easy Rider (1969)
Isn't Jack Nicolson is stoned throughout this film?

People who added this item 432  Average listal rating (274 ratings) 7.9  IMDB Rating 8.2 
10. Dog Day Afternoon (1975)
Al Pacino attempts to rob a bank to fund his gay lovers sex change operation? Am I close?

People who added this item 556  Average listal rating (328 ratings) 8.1  IMDB Rating 8.5 
11. Chinatown (1974)
No idea what this film is about. Some dude in Suncoast Video got really upset with me when I mentioned that I haven't seen this film. With that being said I figure it must be of some importance to cause people to become mad at you.

People who added this item 1195  Average listal rating (798 ratings) 8.4  IMDB Rating 8.9 
12. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
Is Nicolson stoned again?

People who added this item 1752  Average listal rating (1159 ratings) 8.2  IMDB Rating 8.5 
13. A Clockwork Orange (1971)
"Extremely violence..."
(That was one of the comments that by brother had to stress to me about this movie.)
"...but it all happens so that you have a better understanding of the character and the situations that arise."

People who added this item 597  Average listal rating (327 ratings) 8.6  IMDB Rating 8.8 
14. Seven Samurai (1954)
Being in love with Japanese culture as much as I am there should be no reason why I haven't seen this film.

*Bows head in shame*

People who added this item 1428  Average listal rating (980 ratings) 8.1  IMDB Rating 8.5 
15. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
A comic view on religion I assume?

People who added this item 1776  Average listal rating (1142 ratings) 8.3  IMDB Rating 8.9 
16. Schindler's List (1993)
Absolutely no idea whatsoever what this film is about.
Movie poster looks bizarre though.

People who added this item 551  Average listal rating (350 ratings) 8.1  IMDB Rating 8.4 
17. Raging Bull (1980)
Some about boxing. My Mom continues to look down on me until I see this movie and Man Who Broke a Thousand Chains.

Kidding!

People who added this item 2029  Average listal rating (1394 ratings) 7.7  IMDB Rating 8.5 
18. Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Plenty of war movies on my list eh? Why you ask? Frankly I do not care for them when guns are involved (silly right?). I love gore just as much as the next man, but I prefer when there is a war on the screen that it is fought with ancient weapons. I am not talking down on the fantastic job that soldiers currently do one bit. I just prefer wars set in the ancient times. i.e. 300, Alexander, Kingdom of Heaven, etc.

19. Rosemary's Baby (1968)
What a baby shower that would be if you told someone that you were having the Satan's kid! That is what this film is about right?

People who added this item 1704  Average listal rating (1191 ratings) 7.8  IMDB Rating 8.3 
20. The Green Mile (1999)
MCD (Michael Clarke Duncan) has magic powers?

People who added this item 1710  Average listal rating (1148 ratings) 7.8  IMDB Rating
21. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
I have seen bits and pieces, but not enough to say I have seen the film in it's entirety. It must be damn good because it is one of the few films that still gets released around Christmas time every year. And amazingly still turns up somewhat a profit.

People who added this item 455  Average listal rating (310 ratings) 7.1  IMDB Rating
22. Planet of the Apes (1968)
I have seen the horrid update with Marky Mark (so I am aware of the basic story), but from what I understand it just doesn't do the original justice.
Which is the case for most remakes.

People who added this item 1434  Average listal rating (946 ratings) 8.1  IMDB Rating 8.4 
23. Pan's Labyrinth (2006)
Hellboy's overseer Guillermo del Toro created this masterpiece between Hellboy I and II. I hear that the visuals are something to die for.

People who added this item 1514  Average listal rating (997 ratings) 8  IMDB Rating 8.2 
24. Trainspotting (1996)
I know this film is about the effect of hard drugs. A scene once played in Blockbuster where a baby was crawling on the ceiling. Whatever he takes I want a hit!

People who added this item 1299  Average listal rating (833 ratings) 8  IMDB Rating 8.5 
25. Requiem for a Dream (2000)
One of the Wayne brothers acts in this movie. I am assuming it contains drug abuse?

Listal members can help you! We need a TV, DVD player and matchsticks to hold open you eyes! Watch clockwork orange first and that last suggestion will mean so much more!

Honestly these films are worth watching.

could someone please tell me what (on earth) the point of this "list" is?
Posted : 8 months, 3 weeks ago at Feb 28 17:16
i've only seen two or three of these, so don't feel bad!

Description

Again embarrassingly yes it is true I have not seen any of these movies on this list! Periodically I will update this list when I view one of these movies and put another one in it's place. In the note selection of the films I will give a quick premise of what I heard about these movies. Wanting to be left in my nativity I didn't Imdb.com any of these films.

Please do not take away my movie viewing/reviewing license!
