    Terry Gilliams 'Brazil'. Now I know it's a good film. Anything I've ever heard about it says it's a good film and I'm sure I'd enjoy it but somehow I've never managed to engage with it. It gets repeated a fair bit on TV but it's a long film and it's always on late and.......ah fcuk it I'm sorry ok?

    The Third Man.

    I know it's a cinematic masterpiece,there are even tours of Vienna based on the film,but never got round to it.

    All of them :pac:. I really don't care about movies that much, so I haven't seen a huge amount. So people are always horrified that I haven't seen most movies they can name :P

    I've never seen the quiet man which is apparently quite popular with the parents generation

    The Shawshank Redemption

    Good film alright but......and I'm going to be lynched for this.......it's overly long and a bit sentimental, not the best film ever made as some claim...........

    (awaits lynching) :pac:

    It's perfectly possible to live a full and rewarding life and not have seen the Shawshank Redemption.

    As for The Life Of Brian,well if you've missed that...:eek:

    I watched the first 10 minutes. After Barry Fitzgerald did his Oirish bit in the station I gave up.

    Citizen Kane is boring. I haven't seen the godfather and can't be bothered seeing it either.
