Are there any popular films it's assumed everyone has seen but you haven't?

I was wondering this when I saw one of the Pirates of the Caribbean films was on tv this afternoon. I've never watched any of them nor have I ever watched the Titanic and have zero interest in doing so.

What are your never seen popular films?

Most films. No TV and don't often go to the cinema.

For example the only of Starwars I've seen is a small amount of the first one which was shown at school.

That must surely be a heinous crime in Scotland Grin

Oh Forrest Gump is another one I've never watched and have successfully managed to avoid Mamma Mia and the Greatest Showman.

However, I loved the Harry Potter films.

I have seen the first ten minutes of LOTR but slept through the rest- at the cinema! Haven't seen Alien, 2001 Space Odyssey or most of The Princess Bride as it was so boring I switched off. (Only started it as mners told me it was good!!)
