For horror movies (there is some shame, especially since I am a
horror fan and belong to a
horror forum). Incidentally, I had just reached out to Fortunato for some movie recs and his list made me realize how many ridiculously iconic films I've missed out on:
- Like Rod said, haven't seen most sequels beyond #2 in the big series (Halloween, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street)
- Bride of Frankenstein
- Last House on the Left
- The Hills Have Eyes (the original)
- I Spit on your Grave
- Cronenburg's The Fly
- Videodrome
- Scanners
- The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
- Cat People
- Freaks
- The Black Cat
- Spoorloos
- Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
- Fright Night
- Phantasm
- The Beyond
- Demons
- Eyes Without a Face
- Sleepaway Camp
- Metropolis (1927)
- Cape Fear
I'm also embarrassed that I have not watched a single Ingmar Bergman film or a Bond movie in its entirety.
...
Movies that
other people think that I should see... But it doesn't really bother me that I haven't (I'll get around to them
eventually):
- Raging Bull
- Platoon
- Bridge Over River Kwai
- The Deer Hunter
- The Great Escape
- Any Old Western (The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, etc.)
- Drugstore Cowboy
- Gone With The Wind
- Cool Hand Luke
- Rebel Without a Cause
- Goodfellas
I'm sure there are others...
