Well Known Old Movies You Not Seen Or Only Just Watched

[Bods]

Just wondered if there are many others that have a list of movies they haven't seen before

There are many I haven't, only watched Top Gun first time a few years ago lol, I haven't watched stuff like Greese, Bodyguard, Officer and a Gentleman

Recently I have watched a few on my list

Edward Scissorhands
End of Days, I watched New Years after finished working as I was looking for something based at New Year, The Children was another but watched that a few months ago
Last night I watched Electric Dreams from 1984, always remembered the Song with Philip Oakey. Only took me 40 years to watch it then
Apparently there are working on a remake of it, might as well as it was all about AI

Still loads from the 70's, 80's 90's I need to watch

Dirty Dancing, and never will.

I've never watched Indiana jones. Probably quite a few others as well. I'm a horror fan myself, and have just re watched all 3 maniac cop films. Funny enough, there were some classic cabs in one of them.

That was the other I was trying to think of, kind of have same view on that, though I don't mind dance type movies, Breakin, Beat Street, Step Up films I watched em all, 3, 4 and 5 in 3D and same system used in Avatar so 3D was good, quite like Saturday Night Fever too

Flashdance I watched couple of years ago for first time

Not even Indy I do like those to be honest, I watch most Genre, Horror is one of favs and yeah I like the Maniac Cop ones, have French version of DVD Trilogy, had to copy 3rd one because you couldn't turn flippin Sub Titles off original disc

Watched this a few weeks back, wasn't bad to be honest, watched The Last Winter again, Another one if you haven't seen it, Wind Chill has a surprise cab appearance at the end

Saturday night fever is another I can't recall ever watching.

I probably wouldn't of but I flicked over one night to BBC and it was on and ended up watching some of it and thought it's not bad so bought the DVD

I got a 'movies to watch before you croak it' thingy for Christmas a couple of years ago and there were loads I should watch, but haven't, embarrassingly sometimes.
Including:
The Deer Hunter (got it recorded, just not had 3 hours spare).
Spinal Tap
Citizen Kane
Clockwork Orange
American Psycho
Dr Strangelove
Spirited away

I've probably part watched a few others on the list, but I couldn't bring myself to cross them off.
I used to watch loads of movies, but it stopped as other hobbies and kids got in the way, now it's maybe once a month at best .

My wife got me into old movies when we met. But I mean old, so early Hitchcock era. I love them.

Some great 70s gangster movies out there if you've not tried them.

I do love a feel good 80s movie though, but far too many to mention here.

I remember Saturday Night Fever as being rather good - it was a lot darker than you'd expect it to be.

I watched Labyrinth the other day as it’s been picked for a new pinball release. Fuck me, I can see why I’d avoided it all these years. The sets and puppets were good and I love a bit of Bowie but the musical numbers were so cringe as to be laughable. The dialogue was ponderous and stilted and the acting almost universally wooden.

I’ve never seen Love Actually! It’s been hard work but I’ve succeeded so far!

You’ve really got to watch Spinal Tap and Spirited Away.

American Psycho isn’t a great movie but the book is fantastic if you have the stomach for it.

I know, as said, it's a bit embarrassing .
Plus now I've got to get the wife's buy-in as we've one (modern) TV and limited watching time.
I'll get there...

Already mentioned above but I recently watched Spinal Tap for the first time and it is brilliant and incredibly funny, despite its years!

I watched Blade Runner for the first time over Xmas, then followed up by watching the new one.

Thought it was incredible.

I'm in a minority, but I think I actually liked Blade Runner 2049 the most .

It was jaw dropping to look at, plus I loved that it had the style and pace of an older movie rather than the crazed camerawork/CGI of most new stuff. I felt a bit similar with Moon.

So many iconic sci-fi movies from 70s and 80s.

My mate used to bring a dvd round on a Saturday when he rented from Love Film and brought that round one week for us to watch else believe me I wouldn't of watched it still

I still haven't seen new one yet

To be honest I was bored watching the original, sort of watched it twice but hadn't really got a clue what was going on and missed bit as I nod off but when I get the mess sorted in the loft I'm going to watch them both

was never a big Sci-fi fan but I have a whole new outlook on the subject now and find them quite interesting as there more like documentaries for the Future

Watched Soylent Green the other week, was pretty awesome to see Computer Space arcade machine in there

anyone who has said Labyrinth and said anything bad about it, your are now on my kill list

get to hell
