What is the best movie that you have never seen?

This one is a bit tricky.

I'll say 2001 A Space odyssey.

The opening put me to sleep.

    The documentary "Dallas Cowboys Head Coach Jason Garrett and his Championship Seasons."

    Gone with the wind. It was so good, that I didn't watch it twice.

    That would really be a short movie. They would roll the opening credits followed immediately by the closing credits.

    "Avatar" I suppose, since I have never seen it. Among the classics, that would be "8 1/2."

    Raging Bull

    And I've seen a ton of movies; I don't know why I never saw this one.

    And to the guy who said "Avatar", that is the worst movie you've never seen, and you should keep it that way.

    This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.

    Ok movie, over rated as far as I am concerned.

    I heard the basic plot for “Avatar,” and figured it was too PC for me.

    Jake died about a year ago. Small town in Arizona I believe.

    Edit: Well ok, it was 2017 and Florida.

    Yes, “Raging Bull” is an excellent film.

    Jake Lamotta was exactly that, a raging bull. He once said about the Mob, "I ain't afraid of them rat bums". That takes balls, and he said it on national TV.

    It debuted when I was in undergraduate school. I saw it probably four times back then. There was some morality to it. The principles, who were into dealing hard drugs, were done in by a couple of southern bigots. The most memorable aspect to it was that was the break-though film for Jack Nicholson.

    I finally saw It's a Wonderful Life just before this past Christmas. I don't know what took me so long. I loved it. I raved about it to my wife. We then both watched it together.

    Before watching Avatar, I knew that there were thematic elements to the movie they were trying to hit you over the head with, whether you agree or don't. I knew that going in, but I had heard it was worth a watch just for the experience. And I have to say it is worth a watch if you ever have the time.

    Edit to add: I am not saying it is a movie I would ever want to watch again. However, my wife and two of my kids enjoyed it enough to watch it a few more times.

    That is definitely the best movie you've never seen, because it's best movie.

    I have seen about half of it and it is very good. I still have to see the other half as well as three which I have owned for a dozen years.
