This thread is just what it sounds like, where you list off a bunch of movies that you haven't seen yet, but want to for one reason or another. I think this would be a pretty good springboard for discussion about films and whatnot, as well as a way for people to learn what others are into and whatnot.
Some films I want to see:
Johnny Got His Gun - I've heard people say it's driven them to tears, as well as the fact that Metallica was influenced to write "One" after watching the movie, as well as that they actually purchased the film licenses and whatnot really surprises me and makes me want to watch it even more.
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned How to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb - Apparently one of the darkest comedies ever, and contains one of the most parodied scenes in cinema.
Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom and A Serbian Film - Morbid curiosity, though I'd never watch either alone. Those are group movies, forreal.
Hobo With a Shotgun - That title alone is enough to get people like me interested.
V/H/S and The Cabin in the Woods - From what I've heard, both of these films kinda take a new spin on horror films, the former being a found footage/anthology film, and the latter breaking down into a clusterfuck (I have seen bits of it, which is why I want to see it full length).
Eraserhead, Gummo, and Tetsuo: The Iron Man - What the fuck worthy, apparently.

Seen Hobo and once owned a copy of Salo on dvd.
Hobo is great, think Machete in terms of violence
Salo, *sighs* what can be said that already has not been said about that movie. Not going into direct details, if a movie can scar you mentally, then that did it for me haha. Just one of those I don't recommend to anyone at all. I can see why it gained the controversy that it did.
To find John, turn those lights out because he will then appear...
XWF LEGEND and the only man who punked out Duke TWICE
All the Bond flicks pre Pierce Brosnan. I actually got the 50th anniversary DVD set for X-Mas from the wife so I have no excuse now other than having other things to do.
Other than that, I am sure there is stuff that I want to see but nothing is coming to me off the top of my head. I see a crap ton of movies, about to sit down and watch American Hustle so there isn't a whole lot that I miss out on.
I will say that I'm not a big fan of horror flicks, they just don't do it for me. It's not that they scare me, though I am sure there are some out there that would, I just don't find those types of movies to be entertaining.
Hobo With A Shotgun and Cabin in the Woods are easily in my top 5.
Mine would be Blow because I'm a huge Brad Pitt fan and I've heard he's awesome in that one. Brazil would be on my list, as I've heard it's extremely fucked and in a way I would appreciate. The third would be Suspiria for similar reasons.

Great film, sellars is brilliant in three roles. Mandrake still makes me laugh.

Salo is ok, it's basically any other Italian exploitation film, with added feces.
Serbian Film is 'slaughtered vomit dolls' level, in that it's just sex and Gore with vague attention to story...first time I saw it I loved it, second I was apathetic. The baby scene is the only reason its infamous.

I love VHS, and its rare modern horrors keep me interested. The sequel wasn't brilliant though. Cabin is one I didn't enjoy much.

Eraserhead is brilliant, an atmospheric masterpiece, though a lot of people don't like it, it's David Lynch after all.
Gummo I found boring. Tetsuo is on my to watch list.
Im hard to please with horror and such, but I've seen most. I'd highly recommend Martyrs and Possession (1980s one with Sam Neill) if anyone hasn't seen them. Also Hard Candy, and if you don't mind subs 13 Game of Death is good.
Right now I'm looking forward to the new Godzilla and Robocop, but otherwise not much.
