I almost missed what the OP said because just looking at the general topic and then seeing the movies the OP listed it's easy to think this topic is about 'Movies that everyone has seen' and then we just start listing super popular movies like Back to the Future etc. but after reading the initial text the OP posted than that clearly changes things since it goes by that movies a lot of people seen but that I have personally not seen. so in that regard... to use IMDb as a rough guideline and to list some movies, ill list... -Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) -Seven Samurai (1954) (my guess is this movie is only popular amongst movie people as on a more mainstream level ill bet many have never even heard of it. so I don't even know if this would quality as that 'everyone has seen' level that the topic calls for) -The Shining (1980) -Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) (basically I have not seen any Star Wars movies outside of the first hour of the first movie(see below)) -Lawrence of Arabia (1962) -Harry Potter (series) (but then again I was never into that magic/fantasy type of stuff) and to list some looking at Boxoffiemojo's website, to factor in more mainstream popularity... -The Hangover (2009) (seems to be one of the highest $$$ in the theaters for fairly recent comedies @ 277.3mil in USA and $467.5mil worldwide. it just does not look funny to me.) -Gone With the Wind (1939) (this seems to be one that's really huge as it did $198.7mil back in 1939 apparently) -The Sound of Music (1965) (but if there is quite a bit of sung dialog this will most likely get boring very fast) -The Ten Commandments (1956) (but I may eventually get around to seeing this) etc etc. that's good enough for now. I think those are just about guaranteed to be very overrated in my opinion. also, I generally don't watch much animated movies either as I am of the mindset they are mostly for kids and even the ones that can appeal to adults, animated stuff just does not connect like movies with real people in them do basically. NOTE: I tried to watch the following but did not finish... -Citizen Kane (1941) (but I did not rate this one as I believe I only got 20min into the movie before I turned it off as had I made it another 10-20min further, so about 30-40min into the movie in total, and it not gotten any better I most likely would have killed it and called it boring and then gave it a 2/10. my attempted viewing of this was sometime before Dec 27th 2011.) -Star Wars (1977) - 2/10 (I attempted to watch this on July 29th 2015 and killed it @ 1hr due to boredom. I did not bother with any of the other movies. prior to seeing it... I was pretty sure I was not going to think much of them but I did not expect it to be straight up boring like it was. but I guess these kind of movies are not my cup-of-tea as they say.) ghostintheshell I am surprised to see you list that as not having seen it as that seems like one of those movies that has wide appeal amongst a wide range of age groups etc. I know! I've heard only good things about BTTF series, just havent gotten around to it yet

I am pretty sure I have seen every movie that is hugely popular. You do have a name to uphold.

I haven't seen the Searchers.
Or the Sound of Music
Pretty Woman-never saw that-doesn't seem like I missed much since no one references it but it sure was promoted heavily in 1990.

If anyone has Netflix The Godfather trilogy is on there now. I can’t think of any reason any self respecting film buff wouldn’t watch the first one.

Also, while it's not a movie I've never watched an episode of The Simpsons. Kind of proud of that one at this point.

I've seen every movie mentioned in this thread so far, with the exception of: Seven SamuraiThe SearchersThe Fate of the FuriousDebbie Does Dallas In the last few years I've really stepped out of my movie comfort zone and started seeing classic movies and foreign movies I would normally avoid. Some great stuff has opened my mind to movies in general. Many of you on here have helped broaden my horizons as well, with recommendations I might never hear of. Just Don't ever close yourself off from anything, always be trying new things and you might just be better for it.

Not seen this either. It's not a film that is especially remembered or popular in the UK.

It's a running gag in the film. The main character wants a BB gun for Christmas and is told by several people, including Santa, that he'll lose an eye.
