Lots of the ones I haven't seen are from the 30's and 40's, so it's not shocking, but some of them are Chaplin or Hitchcock films that I really should sit down and watch, just for reference (Double Indemnity, North by Northwest, City Lights, Modern Times)

Some notables that I have not yet seen:

17. The African Queen
21. The Grapes of Wrath
27. Bonnie and Clyde
30. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
39. Doctor Zhivago
41. West Side Story
57. The Third Man
64. Close Encounters of the Third Kind
69. Shane
88. Easy Rider

I guess my question is, which of these are "must watch". Which should I start with?

apparently i am very "uncultured" in movies! of that list i've only seen 5!!
the wizard of oz
star wars
et
raiders of the lost ark
forrest gump (and i only saw that one about a month ago)

i've also never seen any of the lord of the rings, hobbit or harry potter movies.
i tried to watch titanic a couple times but always fall asleep pretty quick. same thing with blade rummer - i keep falling asleep in it.


after seeingGreenLantern2814's post below.... add braveheart and gladiator to the "not seen" list
