The second I saw this subject title I knew it had something to do with me.
Might as well add more fuel to the fire, as I somehow still haven't seen any of these either...
The Birds - meh. It was good (great even) for it's time but you've probably seen everything great about it somewhere else.
Casablanca - worth watching for Renault alone.
Casino - how is this possible?
Cool Hand Luke - best version of the christ story put to film
Dances with Wolves - meh you've seen avatar
Erin Brockovich - meh most overrated actress in Hollywood
The Firm - meh
Fletch - brilliant
Gone with the Wind - Rhett is a god among men
Jackie Brown - I missed this on theaters and keep forgetting to watch it
Mulholland Drive - there is at least one great scene
Psycho - Vince Vaughn worst movie
Schindler's List - too busy making out to really pay attention.
Unforgiven - it was good enough
I think I've seen most of everything posted so far. Everyone should go see all these movies, I haven't seen many that I wouldn't recommend.
Some just for the history of movies more so than enjoyment. Citizen Kane for example isn't super enjoyable these days, but if you can put it in the correct context and know a little about it's contribution to movies, then it is amazing.

Hard to just think of the movies I haven't seen, so I can only address what has already been posted:
Lawrence of Arabia
Schindler's List
Apocalypse Now
Casablanca
Raging Bull
One Flew Over the ****oo's Nest
Looking at some of these lists... it both makes me sad that some posters haven't seen movies I consider to be in my top 10 or 20. On the other hand, there's also the great thought that they will one day see these movies and be wow'ed.
Not having ever seen The Shawshank Redemption just amazes me. I can get some people thinking a movie like The Godfather is not their thing, but Shawshank...

This thread has given me the sads.
The problem is a lot of these just don't land today.
Like psycho... Showing a flushing toilet doesn't just completely put an entire theater on edge any more.
Or showing a chick (Scarlett) smiling in the morning somehow isn't going to make all the women in the theater a little lightheaded at what was implied

I think the biggest problem with some movies, at least for me, is they are so ingrained in our culture that they are ruined. I already know the twist ending to a movie like Psycho and The Usual Suspects, so I've never watched them
It would be fun to do an Entertainment board weekly movie club where we either go down a list like the AFI 100, or do a poll to come up with a movie, and discuss it.
That would probably get me to see a movie I just haven't felt in the mood for, yet. I think of movies like 12 Angry Men, and wonder if I would have ever seen it if we hadn't have seen it in school. It is so freaking amazing, and I'm so happy I had to watch it.

True but a lot of them are filled with Rick Dalton/Capt America moments.

So happy to see he got some work after Who's the Boss
I've floated the idea of us doing a version of the podcast "The Rewatchables" where someone presents a great movie and we all kind of pour over it. Someone could do like the trailer, the great scenes, and some movie trivia on it, or we could could post a movie and we all try to watch it the week before we discuss it, I was very late to that Bill Simmons' podcast, but it's so fun.DallasTeleAg said:

Why are you referencing son's of anarchy? What does that show have to do with this thread?

So the shocking revelation that a well known poster on this board hasn't seen the original Fletch has me thinking it's time for a little transparency.
What is a popular movie that everyone has seen but you haven't? Movies that have been out for several years so you've had the chance to rent or watch on Netflix/Amazon or cable but just never did.
I'll start. Harry Potter. Haven't seen a single one of them and have no desire to.
Is Fletch the guy that made a Dalmatian fur coat?

Like a book club.
I made it a point to watch the AFI list (both iterations) and Oscar winners several years back, so I've seen most of the "should watch" movies. Most of mine are either recent Oscar winners/nominees or 80s/90s movies, particularly comedies, that a lot on this board clearly grew up with, but were just before my time. I've seen plenty from that era, but there are still several gaps.
Cool Runnings
Three Amigos
Sixteen Candles
Weird Science
I'm sure there's plenty I'm not thinking of, but those are the ones that stand out.

Just between bigcat and TC, like over half of my all time favorite movies are on those 2 lists.
On those 2 lists I would start with Casablanca and SW Ep 4.
Both were revolutionary and much of what we watch in those genres comes from those films. And Casablanca has my favorite scene in the history of cinema (the French national anthem scene).
Ad for me, haven't seen Harry Potter at all. Tried a few times and it just wasn't for me. F&F as well.

Haven't seen any Twilight movie. Not really a confession though.

I think it's common knowledge that France has a national anthem.
