I have a lot of weird gaps in my films. Haven't seen Shawshank Redemption, Singin' in the Rain, The Killing to name a few.
Part of it is down to opportunity and time. Most video libraries don't stock much range, especially the older flicks. These days I don't really watch more than a couple of hours worth of TV a week, so I don't check the TV guides and will miss when these things are on. And the majority of fans aren't into the classics either, so the folks I could loan from is quite a small group, and most of them are either in Melbourne or Perth!
I do actually have the DVD release of the original Quatermass serials from the BBC because I sell them. That's where the time comes in, especially now when, if I have the time, I may be too tired to appreciate a really good film. There's just so much stuff out there you can watch, so picking what to watch when also gets hard.
