I've kind-of-by-accident seen about 4 Marvel movies, which are basically all pretty interchangeable and which I was alternately irritated or bored by. I've not managed to watch a whole Harry Potter, Pirate of the Caribbean or LOTR/Hobbit film, and only managed the first of the Star Wars reboots. I look at that top-50 list and have seen maybe 10 or 12 of them in total - I'm pretty sure that either blockbusters these days are rubbish or I'm a grumpy old man whose had all the joy scraped out of his soul.

I'm not exactly sure what constitutes a famous film, but based on IMDB's top 50 of their "250 Top Rated Movies of all time" I haven't seen: Fight Club (10), Star Wars IV (22), The Silence of the Lambs (23), Life is Beautiful (25), Spirited Away (26), Interstellar (31), The Intouchables (39), Spider Man: The Spider-Verse (42), The Prestige (49).

I recently did one of those "how many of these 50 iconic films have you seen" online quizzes and got 49. The only one I hadn't was Lawrence of Arabia. I should get round to that. From memory it used to be on every other weekend, but hasn't been for a while - nothing dodgy emerged about Peter O'Toole or David Lean did it?
