Why don't you just watch them? Then you wouldn't have to be ashamed anymore. :)

There aren't many that I can think of other than some of the old classics mentioned here such as Casablanca and Citizen Cane(How could one not be disappointed with something called "Teh best movie evar"). I have tried to watch Gone with the Wind a few times but it doesn't hold my attention. The acting may be a little too good, I can't stand that miserable Scarlet.

I haven't seen Citizen Kane yet. It doesn't look very interesting to me, though I do have it on my hard drive for future watching. Casablanca is probably my absolute favourite of all the older films I've seen; I will be pleasantly surprised if Citizen Kane manages to dethrone it.

Nothing. If I was ashamed not to have seen them, then I would go out and see them. And if I haven't, there's obviously a good reason. (Like I don't want to)

I came to write the exact same thing although I was hesitant to do so as I'm kinda embarrassed about not seeing it yet.

It isn't as though everyone hasn't seen the ending spoiled many times over...
