    Default Beloved Movies And Shows That You’ve Never Seen.

    What are some films/TV shows out there that heralded as all-time classics that you keep hearing about but you still haven’t seen?

    For me, to name a few from the top of my head: Movies: Jaws, The Exorcist, Pulp Fiction, Close Encounters.


    TV: The Sopranos, Shield, Oz.

    The Godfather...kinda - bought the DVD, thought I'd love it...oh god. It was so boring it felt like hours passed without anything interesting happening, I kept losing track of the plot because my brain refused to short term memory this ****, and somehow I fell asleep during this experience for who knows how long, and when I woke up this blasted thing was still on! I turned it off and swore to myself never again. So I can hardly say I watched it despite my best effort to do just that. It was horrendous for me and I don't get how others love it so much. So boring, so very boring...

    Mad Men
    Breaking Bad
    Game of Thrones
    Probably a dozen other shows

    Absolutely loads.

    Films: The Godfather films, Saving Private Ryan, Citizen Kane. I haven't seen any of the Pirates Of The Caribbean series, or the Fast And The Furious, never seen a Rocky film all the way through, The French Connection, any film that's ever won a Best Picture Oscar EVER, My Fair Lady, any other musical for that matter.

    TV Shows: never sat through a single episode of any soap opera, Game Of Thrones, Breaking Bad, M.A.S.H., Mad Men, Downton Abbey, The Sopranos.

    Weird flex, but okay.

    I've never seen Firefly. No specific reason, just never saw it.

    Haven't seen any of the Harry Potter or Mission Impossible movies.

    Never seen The Wire either (and Homicide: Life on the Street is one of my all-time favorite shows).

    I think it's a way more common thing than we geeks seem to realize for being honest.

    I've never seen nor have any desire to see the Sopranos, The Shield, or Oz. I've never see Game of Thrones. I've seen two episodes of Friends and about that many of Cheers. I've never seen nor have any desire to see any of the Godfather movies. I've seen clips but that's it.
    Power with Girl is better.

    I've seen many or most of the things mentioned above that you guys haven't seen.

    You guys really should see them -- because they're good.

    If you don't like the overall genre, say crime drama, then I can understand not wanting to see Sopranos or Breaking Bad.

    But if a genre that you like such as scifi, horror, thrillers, or comedy, then not seeing Star Wars, Exorcist, Jaws, or Cheers really doesn't make sense because these are the tops in their genres.
