What’s the One Movie You Wanted to See, but Didn’t?

On The Waterfront. I’ve read about it a thousand times but it just looks so boring that I can’t hit the play button. I had the same feeling about Citizen Kane and that turned out to be a very incorrect intuition. But I’m still being influenced by the historically ridiculous inner voice. – Andrew Burd

The Pervert’s Guide to Cinema by Slavoj Zizek – Hayk Hakobyan

I’ve always wanted to see Pulp Fiction but I don’t have any time to go to my local movie store and pick it up. – Richie Keith

Apocalypto – Going to add it to my Netflix queue now :) – Mattb4rd

Probably Krzysztof Kieslowski’s trilogy. ‘Blue’, ‘White’, and ‘Red’ – Rodfather

Richie…GO get Pulp Fiction…I love it…cool flick – Susan Beebe

Susan, I’ll try and do my best on getting it :) – Richie Keith

Gah, this list would be a hundred titles long. I’m deficient on movies released before 1970 for some reason and many of those movies I want to see only because they’re movies I’m supposed to have seen like Gone With the Wind. So, I dunno. Battleship Potemkin? – Akiva Moskovitz

Don’t have any actually. Put this on my New Year’s Resolution list two years ago and finally watched ‘Giant’ @Andrew: On The Waterfront is fantastic. – AJ Kohn

2001: A Space Oddyssy – I even downloaded it like a year ago and it’s sitting on my hard drive unwatched. I think I even have the sequel although I don’t know if it’s any good – Nick Austad via twhirl

Red is one of my favorite movies of all time. – edythe

a blue whale… i can’t wait – Zee at WeDoCreative

Citizen Kane… What if I don’t think it is as great as everyone says – John Worthington

Apocalypse Now – Jon Price

Nick, the sequel’s a completely different kind of movie but fun in it’s own right. John, Citizen Kane’s still a good movie but it’s best enjoyed in critically and in its cinematic context. Jon, one of my favorite movies but I have to be in a specific mood to watch it. Make sure you get the theatrical version and not the longer Redux cut which I think just makes longer without adding enough to make it worth it except for people who are already Apocalypse Now fans. – Akiva Moskovitz

practically every decent movie that’s come out since my second kid was born – nathan

man, you know – i’m not reading stuff properly today. I read another friendfeed message wrong & i did the same here. I read that as "what ANIMAL you’ve always wanted to see, but haven’t – for whatever reason?" . I’m guessing none of you have heard of a movie called ‘a blue whale’ huh? – Zee at WeDoCreative

There are a lot of movies I could list. For some odd reason Das Boot is the first one that comes to mind. As far as the reason, I just never remember to rent it when I am out, or check for it on the DVR. – Aden

2001: A Space Odyssey – Ethan

Mummy 3 – reason: I heard it is the suxors. – Todd Jordan

Spiderman 3.. I just wasn’t able to find time and company during that time to watch the movie. – Winston Teo

The Matrix. – Larry Huffman

Andrew – On The Waterfront = great movie…to fall asleep to. I wanted to like it but it was so damn boring. – Corie Allison

A better question is what movie did you see that you wish you hadn’t! – Todd Loren Sinclair

The Bridge Over the River Kwai With movies like this one I always have that fear that they won’t hold up to expectations. – Joe Pierce

Todd, the Matrix and the Doors come to mind immediately. – Akiva Moskovitz

Mirrormask…and sadly, I own it and just haven’t found the time to pop the thing in and finally watch it. – Bryan Irrera

Todd…Forrest Gump would be pretty high on my erase from my mind list. – Bryan Irrera

Pan’s Labyrinth – Jack Carlson

Todd, Titanic, and The Village spring to mind immediately as painful parts of my life that I’ll never recover. Jack, have you seen "The Devil’s Backbone?" "Pan’s" is goo, but I liked "Backbone" a lot better. Also definitely worth checking out if you like those movies is "The Orphanage." – Joe Pierce

Boiler Room. Just haven’t gotten around to it. – Chris Brogan

Joe, from Netflix I’ve had the Orphanage sitting on my shelf for weeks now but I just haven’t been in the right ‘mood’ for it. Netflix should have an option for you to put how many times a movie was viewed once it was rented. It’d give an interesting metric for not only usage but for user enjoyment as well. – Akiva Moskovitz

Uhm…this may sound funny, but the Dark Knight? – Gordon Swaby

The Breakfast Club. – James Ferguson

Rodfather – I love that trilogy. Red being my most favorite. . – Yolanda
