In Reply to: What "classic" or "required viewing" films will you admit you've never seen? posted by bubbahotep on September 23, 2002 at 17:03:09:
Well, I have been working on that for decades, and there are still many left.But just as some comments on your list. I would pass on Gone with the Wind - a sentimental kaka with no real worth. Citizen Kane stays.
The Umbrellas is kaka square - don't waste your time. Beauty and the Beast is too waste of time - there are hundreds of better films you should see before wasting time and money on these really unremarkable works.
Carnal Knowledge can wait too, not such a big deal.
Belle de Jour... well, if you have nothing better to do, and it is free - by all means. Not a great film, by any stretch.
If you really need the list, this subject has been covered here many times. But starting with better works of the renouned directors is always a good way - and these are widely available from any number of sources. Any book on movies with rating system is good start too.
Good luck, this is project that can be great fun.
