For him not to have seen The Godfather in the 47 years it's been out does suggest an almost wilful attempt to avoid it, doesn't it? I mean you'd have seen it by accident, wouldn't you?

For my money, the two together represent the greatest film(s) of all time. However good you think When Harry Met Sally to be, it's a mere confection in comparison. Seriously, you need to remedy this situation forthwith.

I've considered it, but I think it's too late. Honestly, the first time I see Brando with the cotton wool stuffed into his cheeks I'll piss myself.

I've never seen Enter The Dragon. Or Last Tango In Paris.

Nah, it takes commitment to sit and watch it.

The only important movie I've ever stumbled across by accident and sat and enjoyed is Mann's masterpiece.

My list of classic movies I haven't seen is amazing/shocking, shame I can't remember any atm :-\

Four Weddings and a Funeral? I love that movie.

Enter The Dragon is boring - like most chopsocky movies. Last Tango in Paris is unbelievably tedious - no amount of nudity or cheeky bumsex is going to make up for the extraordinary longueurs.

You've never seen James Caan as Sonny? You've never seen Luca Brazzi? Clemenza? You know nothing of Frankie Five Angels? You've never heard Brando say 'Tattaglia's a pimp'?

Mate. Just watch the fúcker.
