I’ve stolen this from xAbbyx’s blog she saw this list which was first published in Entertainment Weekly. These are meant to be the new modern classics in film and I wanted to participate too!
I’ve put the ones I’ve seen in bold and ones I have partially seen in italics. WTF with Fatal Attraction??? I’ve written papers on that movie it is not a modern classic, but part of the backlash against feminism. I can elaborate if needed or you can just watch the alternate ending. That being said I’ve actually seen about 50%:

You haven't seen the LOTR movies!?!?! You are missing out, my friend. And, Casino Royale is really, really good.
Colin actually owns all the LOTR movies and Casino Royale. I've never seen the Star Wars movies either...
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is my favorite movie ever... you so need to finish it!!!
yeah i havent seen any of the lotr movies either.. whatev.. i doubt they are that great.. but u need to see sid&nancy since u are as punk rock as a sor.girl can get..
I know I'm surprised about Sid&Nancy...but I looove SLC Punk, does that count? Court Love is in S&N and she killed Kurt, so I don't know, but she's also in People v Larry Flynt, which I really liked.
Eternal Sunshine I was in a bad mood and fell asleep.
We've got a LoveFilm (like NetFlix) subscription, so I will try to rectify these wrongs.
so, I thought I would compare with what I have seen. ;)...I'm not that smart, so I will put an * by what i have seen...
