What Major or Classic Blockbuster movies have you never seen

Many of the movies members have posted are nowhere close to being "blockbusters". Rather just moderately popular films for some genre types. Below is a Wikipedia link for the top 100 grossing films adjusted for inflation. I went down the list and have only viewed about 70%, most of them older films. Several of the older films I have not seen, have watched short parts of when they played on TV. And significant numbers of the 70% I did not enjoy enough to say they were worthwhile at least at the time.

That includes all but the early Star Wars films that I did bother to watch and then was less than entertained. Never to "only once was enough" watch any of this new era animation films, nor superhero, nor horror.

Oppenheimer. I went to the theater, but walked out somewhere before the middle of the film. Maybe that qualifies as not seeing the movie.
 

what is a blockbuster? you go to the movie and you like it or you don't. It effects you or it doesn't. I don't care what millions of viewers agree on. I posted movies that effect me. Good, bad or indifferent. Read my list, pick one and then post your comment.

There was a good message about what dolls taught little girls about themselves and their place in life in that scene. :)

I just wish all those "free to be" messages didn't always include a "housewives are inferior," message. If only the little girls hadn't smashed their baby dolls (maybe just left them sleeping) and a single one of those Barbies had been a mother it would have made a big difference to me.

I see what you're saying. :) Interestingly, that hadn't even occurred to me until you mentioned it and I was a housewife and mother. That's what I did after I stopped working.

I read the message in the movie as a "breaking out of the mold" sort of thing. That would explain why they portrayed it in a very definitive way.
 
in my mind a blockbuster is what I find to be good. Popular overall, which, I suppose would define blockbuster has no meaning to me. The movies that stir you, make you feel good, make you think, are the movies that have meaning, to you.
To me, they are blockbusters. For example, Chariots of Fire was a great movie and it won an Academy Award, yet most people were puzzled by it. Never hear of it now, but if you watch it, it is impressive. The age old question of the Christians and the Jewish people comes to light. The chosen people and the chosen nation. Peter and Paul. How God dealt with both.
Missed by most, which is understandable. Still a blockbuster to me.
I don't care what defines a blockbuster or who determines it, (business and money, to be sure). Blockbuster is what touches me.
just my opinion
