While I’m far from a cinefile, I’ve seen my fair shares of flicks. I haven’t managed to see everything out there, though, particularly some very popular films and franchises. Here’s a collection of movies the Sip Advisor has never seen:

The Godfather Part II

I really enjoyed The Godfather, but have not viewed the follow up, despite it being universally called the greatest sequel ever. Of all the films mentioned here, The Godfather Part II is the one I wish most to cross off my watch list. I guess I’ll be sitting down to a serving of mafia madness soon. That said, I’m not sure if Part III will be part of my viewing, given its mixed reviews.

Fast & Furious Franchise

Despite countless movies, I have never viewed a single scene of this high-octane series. While I enjoy some chase scenes, I’ve never been a ‘car guy’ and I suppose that’s part of what keeps me from sitting down to these films. I also can’t make sense of who’s good and bad within the franchise, with characters perhaps changing roles over the course of the long-running story.

Schindler’s List

You have to be in the right frame of mind to watch this heavy film, one I believe everyone should view for the lessons it shares. Mrs. Sip and I even bought a special edition DVD release of the movie years ago, but have never even opened it. I suppose I’m more likely to lean into comedies and such, rather than dramas this serious.

Gone with the Wind

Frankly, my dear, I DO give a damn… but that doesn’t mean I’m falling over myself to dedicate 3.5 hours to this historical classic. I imagine the film moves fairly slowly, as was the style back then, so that 3.5 hours could feel a lot longer. The movie may provide an opportunity to drink some southern cocktails and other classics, so perhaps I can work up my excitement level.

Titanic

My heart will NOT go on for this tragic romance tale. I find the real life Titanic story to be fascinating, but try as Mrs. Sip might, I have firmly put my foot down that I will never, EVER watch this movie. I don’t care about its Oscar success. I don’t care that it stars Growing Pains alum Leo DiCaprio (that’s where we all know him from, right!?). Hell, I don’t even care about the nude Kate Winslet scene… after all, I can find that anywhere on the internet, if I so choose.

Citizen Kane

What many call the greatest movie ever made, is one that these eyes have not viewed in full. I tried watching the film a couple years back, but fell asleep early into the drama and never gave it another go. At this stage, if I try to view it again, I’ll have to start from the beginning, meaning I previously wasted some precious minutes.

Rocky Horror Picture Show

The cult classic has been on my and Mrs. Sip’s Halloween watch list for some time, but each spooky season passes without us seeing the musical. Part of the delay is Mrs. Sip wants to go to one of the theatre showings of the film, where folks really get into it, while I’d be happy sitting on my own couch for our viewing party. I’m even willing to wear one of the characters odd outfits to complete the experience!

Which movies have you not gotten around to viewing? There’s just so much content out there and new stuff coming down the pipe every day, it’s hard to go back and get some of the classics checked off.
