What movies haven't you seen but you're afraid to admit?
Movies that you haven't seen all the way through but are either fan favorites or classics that everyone "should" have seen.
I am embarassed to admit this but I've never seen the Wizard of Oz. Just tiny bits and pieces. I added it to my Netflix account though.

Re: What movies haven't you seen but you're afraid to admit?
Everything I've wanted to see, I've seen - - however, I am intentionally saving some classic movies to watch for the first time in the future.
(eg: Metropolis, The French Connection, Seven Samurai, The Graduate, 8½, Jules et Jim, Once Upon A Time in the West, Barry Lyndon, Breakfast at Tiffanys...)

Re: What movies haven't you seen but you're afraid to admit?
It's not that i'm afraid to admit it, but sometimes, to avoid having somebody explain the whole movie to me, I'll pretend like I've seen a movie I haven't. I did this yesterday with Purple Rain.

Re: What movies haven't you seen but you're afraid to admit?
I just went to the IMDB top 250 and started at the top until I got bored. These are what I haven't seen:
Godfather series (bits and pieces, never in it's entirety, that goes for each film) The Good, the Bad and the Ugly 12 Angry Men One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Seven Samurai City of God Casablanca Once Upon a Time in the West Rear Window Any Indiana Jones film Silence of the Lambs The Usual Suspects Psycho Sunset Blvd Apocalypse Now Dr. Strangelove Citizen Kane
Of those, I would say the Godfather is the one I'm the most embarrassed about / determined to rectify eventually.

Re: What movies haven't you seen but you're afraid to admit?
I tried to watch The Godfather once many years ago and got bored out of my mind - I wasn't really in the mood though. I'm sure I'll eventually do it, but it's just not that high on my list.

OMG Eagle. Just OMG. I'm embarrassed to start looking and listing at all, but that list could be like one's list of best movies ever.

I'm sure I'll eventually do it, but it's just not that high on my list. The Godfather series is extremely overrated IMHO. It bored me as a child, it bored me in the elementary school, it bored me in the high school. I don't plan to watch it now I'm in college. It's way to fun to be bored by it again. Maybe later in my life.

Citizen Kane 43. City Lights 45. Spirited Away 48. Shining, The49. Vertigo 50. MThe ones I currently have no interest in seeing are Seven Samurai and Citizen Kane. Ones I have found overrated: Pulp Fiction, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Empire Strikes Back, Fight Club, Matrix, Usual Suspects, Se7en, Memento, Terminator 2, Alien & American Beauty. Mostly because I go in expecting the best given the "status". And since I'm listing everything it seems, the ones that I saw purely because they were supposed to be good and was satisfied: Shawshank Redemption, A New Hope, Silence of the Lambs & Saving Private Ryan.

I didn't really start enjoying movies until college, so you'll notice a lot of the films listed are older movies I never managed to go back and see.
