Unlike the two haters above, I actually rather liked Sunset Boulevard.

I can see how it'd be somewhat less interesting to a modern audience than its great rival at the time, All About Eve, and its stars have stood the test of time less well. But as a commentary on Hollywood and on the relativity of fame, it's a very good movie with a few very memorable scenes and quotes.
The Graduate on the other hand is not just a little, but massively overrated (I have rarely seen as annoying a character as Dustin Hoffman's), the only good thing about that movie is the Simon & Garfunkel soundtrack (not just Mrs. Robinson, just about all the hits are played at some point).
And Apocalypse Now, while doubtlessly very important and all, is mostly a snorefest. The best scenes are in the beginning tbh, after that it just gets boring, and then there's Marlon Brando being fat and weird.

Which classic / famous / beloved films have you not seen?

Those last two are inexcusable. No wonder the Von Trapps were fleeing from your people.

I wouldn't be able to make a list that contains "important" stuff that means nothing to me

I don't like Woody Allen either, but I'm not sure I've given him a chance.

Yeah, and the two votes against it haven't actually seen it, so...

In their defense, Blade Runner is kinda boring by today's film standards. *NM*

Yeah, you're not missing that much... it's fun, and spectacular, but mostly just a popcorn movie. *NM*

Okay, now I gotta step in and say: One of the most enthralling and best films of the 90s *NM*

I liked it a lot, not sure if it's one of the best of the 90s though.

I find the inclusion of Jackass under classic/famous/beloved films to be hideously ridiculous. *NM*

Wizard of Oz and at least one of the Terminator films are the most surprising.

Wizard of Oz is a very American thing, but yes, Terminator would shock people here too.
