Are there any films that people rave about and are considered classics that you have yet to see?
I still haven't seen:
Citizen Kane
Metropolis
ET
Indiana Jones films
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Oldboy
Apocalypse Now
Last Tango In Paris
Schindler's List
Unforgiven
Erasherhead
Hitchcock films (except Psycho and Vertigo)
Those are the main ones off the top of my head but I'm sure there are more.

plus others that don't come to mind at the moment.
I've tried and failed to watch The Bicycle Thieves 3 or 4 times, I always turn it off, it's so depressing.
You need more than 3 hours for Gone With the Wind, it is about 3 hours 50 minutes long. The first half is really really good, the second less so, but it's still worth seeing.
I watched Lawrence of Arabia for the first time back in January and it's absolutely brilliant. A true epic.

As a piece of film history Birth of a Nation is absolutely vital.
However, as a piece of entertainment it is absolutely vile. Even accounting for the times it is terrible. It makes Triumph of the Will look restrained.
I do accept that because of the subject matter of that film it's very controversial.
Okay. Looks like I need to see aside more time for it then.
Treat yourself to all four Fowl Fax, a wonderful weekends worth of viewing. You wont regret it.:)
