Finally watched Fight Club last night. Not what I was expecting but highly original. Will watch again to see what I missed along the way. 

No Country for Old Men still on that list...and Moonlight

    Pulp Fiction is the one i've never seen. My missus has poster of the film on the wall in her flat. I haven't got the heart to tell her  :D

    No country for old men is one of my all time favourites and Javier Bardem's character and performance is top drawer.

    Enjoy.

    The Star Wars films.

    I've seen the original. And episode one. And The Last Jedi. That's it. 

    I enjoyed them but they seemed like the same film, re-done.

    There's loads of films I've seen bits of when they've been on TV but never all the way through. A few off the top of my head are:

    Sound of Music
    Blade Runner
    Gone With the Wind
    The Graduate
    Top Gun
    Ghostbusters (any of them)
    Fight Club
    Taxi Driver
    Any of the Batman films
    Rain Man

    Given the time of year, It's A Wonderful Life seems to be one of those Christmas staples but I've never watched a moment of it.

    I managed to catch the first half of it once, and so all I've seen is his life going miserably wrong without the turnaround!

    I'm assuming we've all seen two girls one cup?

    Raging Bull and Lawrence of Arabia are two I absolutely should have seen by now.

    While it is still prescient, I was disappointed by Network but I think, like a lot of classics, it's more about how wild it was at the time of release. 

    Of that lot I would suggest you get Ratatouille and/ or Inside Out on your tellybox straight away! With Inside Out I was kinda unimpressed at first but on second viewing realised it was absolute genius. A perfect film.

    Mulholland drive. Missed it on Wednesday night. Film4 running David Lynch films including Blue Velvet which was in last night, so expect they'll repeat within a few days or couple of weeks.

    Forrest Gump. Tom Hanks is one of my favourite actors but I've never been able to convince myself to watch it. Maybe one day.

    I wish I hadn't seen Shawshank, so I could watch it for the first time again.  It's magnificent.
