I've seen 125 off that list. I fail at movies. :(

Highest ranked I haven't watched: #4: Shawshank Redemption. It's on my Netflix list, though. :blush:

Let's use the list in another way. Which is the highest ranking movie that you have not watched?

Mine is "Singin' in the rain" at #8.

#1

I did not care for "The Godfather".

How do you know if you haven't seen it?

See edit above.  I tried on multiple occasions to watch it, and could not sit through the entire thing.  :P

You had heard about that Soviet WWII film from the 80s at #60?

It's been discussed here a few times.

I have seen it, even  :P. As Syt said, it was discussed on here. It's pretty good.

I'll keep scrattching my head then, any references to it here must have completely slipped past my attention.

Other movies I'd never heard before:

#134 Seven (not the Brad Pitt film) - having watched the trailer on YT this one looks a bit of a head-scratcher.
#178 Hellzapoppin'
#213 Songs from the second floor
#222 Mother and son
#224 Distant voices, still lives
#303 Together
#348 Au Hasard Balthazar - I always avoid anything Bresson
#360 The Return
#398 Killer of sheep
#427 Spring in a small town
#431 Electra Glide in Blue

The list has made me realize I should brush up on Jean Pierre Melville, by the way. I have only seen Bob Le Flambeur.

#36

#11 Raging Bull

Same as Liep!  :o I intend to watch it at a cinémathèque or art house though.

As for the highest ranking one I have never heard of, it's His Girl Friday #58. Nothing against Cary Grand and Howard Hawks though. I could have watched it during the last Hawks retrospective at the Cinémathèque I bet.

PS: other movies I have never heard of

#70 Stand by me
#87 The King of Comedy
#106 A man for all seasons
#108 The tree of Wooden Clogs
#112 Soy Cuba
