A long time ago I must have stumbled on this meme somewhere and made a draft of it to pull out on a busy day like today. From what I can recall, this is a list from some publication or organization of "new classic" films, and I am supposed to mark the ones I'd seen with italics and the ones I particularly enjoyed in bold. And yes, I've never seen The Matrix. I've also never seen a James Bond movie, a western or a whole bunch of stuff that people just can't believe I've missed.
Before you get all incredulous on me I ask you: How many of you have seen Seeta Aur Geeta?

So many of these movies I remember seeing and enjoying at the time, and then detesting later. Titanic, for instance...
Never seen a James Bond movie but you saw "Silence of the Lambs"?
Here's a movie with no plot, no characters and no dialogue but it is my favorite: Koyaanisqatsi
I play the soundtrack on my mp3 on the train home.
I highly recommend Rushmore, and I highly, HIGHLY recommend The Lives of Others.
I thought I was alone in the "movies they can't believe I haven't seen" society! I'm glad there's one other member.
You haven't seen The Matrix, but you force friends to watch horrible films with nekkid nuns? You just wait till you're a guest in their homes. They'll make you watch movies starring Beverley Mitchell.
I think all of Steve Carell's movies should be on this list.
I wish I had never seen any James Bond movies. Don't let others make you feel bad about this one!
i counted a total of fifteen that I haven't seen. i am so ashamed. don't look at me, i'm heeedeous!
I haven't seen quite a few on that list.
The Piano is beautiful, beautiful, oh I can watch that again!
The Pianist was great too.
As for Mother India, did you see that? I BAWLED my eyes out.
Me! Me! I've seen Seeta & Geeta. AND I liked it. Granted, I wated with you Cadiz but it still counts.
I have never seen Titanic, I know how it ends, actually after I got to 50 I stopped counting how many of the movies I had not seen hehe. I agree with Teej The lives of others is very good. I havent seen Seeta and Geeta, but Ive seen Kal Ho Na Ho - does it count?
