What's the most-voted movie on IMDB you've never seen?

Um, yeahhh, don't trust IMDB's top movie list since the Dark Knight fanboys broke the list few years ago in a voting war with another movie.
That's the only reason why Shawshank is #1
(I think people counter voted with Shawshank, but idk it's been a while since it had.)

shawshank is #1 because a) it was on cable tv constantly b) it has really broad appeal and c) it's not half bad

so you have a shit ton of people who have seen it and enjoyed it to some degree. it's just raw numbers combined with being completely "agreeable."

I even like the movie, but it's not a #1 based on merit, IMO
 
62. Guardians of the Galaxy.
I really, really started to hate Marvel movies after the first 20.

I also frequent r/movies and r/besof. :p

Out of the top 10, I've not seen The Dark Knight or Inception (although I have the latter on Bluray somewhere downstairs). Not interested at all in TDK, but I will get around to Inception, eventually.

Since this is a voted on list, it's naturally biased towards recent things. Only a handful of pre 90s things in the top 100.

I feel like I'm the only one in this thread who hasn't watched The Hunger Games (I read the first book, it was ok). I'm beginning to understand the source of GAF's undying devotion to Lawrence

I haven't, and I've no intention of doing so. Isn't it just a bitchy version of Battle Royale?

1. The Shawshank Redemption.

I've just never seen it. It's also like not on any streaming services to my knowledge.

The Shawshank Redemption

1. The Shawshank Redemption

Ive been meaning to watch it. I have it on my DVR never gotten around to it though.

Shawshank Redemption at number 1

The Shawshank Redemption followed by Fight Club and The Godfather.

Shawshank Redemption. After that it's The Godfather.

Yeah, Shawshank Redemption.

For the record I watch a shitton of movies, but in this case I just...don't care.

Add me to the list.

In fact I've only seen 14 films of the top 50 on that list.

Edit: Only 33 of the top 100.

Why isn't there a Star Wars RPG? And wouldn't James Bond make for a pretty good FPS?

Without even looking I knew it was The Godfather (#10). I've cleaned up my "big movies I haven't seen" list recently though. I've seen allot of the stuff further down that I'd bet allot of my peers haven't seen.

Edit: For those of you who haven't seen The Shawshank Redemption, get on that, brehs. Fantastic movie.
 
Yeah, Shawshank Redemption.

That's ok, you're not missing anything good.

For me it's either Iron Man 3 (#84), which I don't remember if I saw. All those Marvel movies run together for me.

If I did see Iron Man 3 then it has to be Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part something(#93) because I didn't want to watch Harry Potter until I read the books, which I never did either.

You're missing out, it's one of the best films ever made. I have never seen Fellowship > I wanna make a day of it and watch every movie back to back.

291: We're the Millers.

I watched half. Then stopped. If it wasn't on HBO I never would have watched that much.

370: Yes Man

Never bothered, though I've heard it's not that bad actually.

466: Fault in Our Stars

Eh...

That's the Top 500 I just glanced through, I think I'm fine not seeing any of them, actually.
 
The Godfather: Part II.

And even had I watched that the one right after: American History X.

Probably will get to them someday, I was kind of surprised it took that long before finding movie I had not seen.

I would personally watch the theatrical version instead of the extended, when you do. A. ) It'll make it shorter and easier to marathon. B.) If you enjoy the films, you can go back and watch the extended versions one at a time and see a few new scenes.
