Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Margot Robbie Reveal the Classic Films They’ve Never Seen

It’s easy to assume that Hollywood’s biggest stars have seen every iconic movie ever made.

After all, when you’re at the top of the film industry, classic cinema is part of the job — right?
Not necessarily.

In a recent sit-down interview that started off lighthearted and quickly turned into a surprisingly honest conversation, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Margot Robbie shocked fans by revealing the classic films they’ve never seen.

The trio, who worked together on Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, reunited during a press event where the topic of favorite old movies came up.

What followed was a confession session none of them saw coming.

“I’ve never seen The Sound of Music,” Margot Robbie admitted with a laugh, raising her hand sheepishly.

“Everyone’s jaw drops when I say that.

My mom’s been trying to get me to watch it for years.She added that despite growing up in Australia with an appreciation for cinema, musicals weren’t really her thing.

“Now I feel like I’ve missed out on this huge cultural moment.

It’s on my list — I swear.

The room barely had time to react before Leonardo DiCaprio chimed in with one of his own.

“I’ve never watched Gone with the Wind,” he said, drawing gasps from the crowd.

“I know, I know.People bring it up all the time.

I’ve seen clips, and I understand the historical importance of it.

But I just never got around to sitting through the whole thing.He explained that as someone who’s spent most of his life working in film, sometimes the last thing he wants to do at the end of the day is watch a four-hour epic.

Brad Pitt, never one to shy away from self-deprecating humor, added his own confession to the mix.

“I still haven’t seen Citizen Kane all the way through,” he admitted, chuckling.

“I’ve started it probably five times, and I always fall asleep before it’s over.

It’s like my personal white whale.He was quick to acknowledge the film’s legacy, calling it “brilliant,” but joked that Orson Welles’ masterpiece always seems to get the best of him.

The three stars then dove into a more relaxed conversation about the pressures of keeping up with film history.

Each admitted that there’s an unspoken assumption in Hollywood — that if you’re in the business, you’ve seen everything.

But in reality, even the most passionate film lovers have their blind spots.

“It’s almost embarrassing when someone quotes a classic and you just nod like you know what they’re talking about,” DiCaprio joked.

“It happens more often than you’d think.

Robbie said that, as a producer and actress, she’s been trying to educate herself more on film history in recent years.

“I’ll sit down with a list and just go through the ‘must-sees.But sometimes I think, do I want to watch this because I actually want to, or because I feel like I’m supposed to?”

Pitt nodded in agreement, adding that people outside the industry often assume actors live and breathe movies 24/7.

“The truth is, we spend so much time working on film sets that when we get home, it’s not always movies we turn to for relaxation,” he said.

“Sometimes it’s just sports, music, or sitting in silence.

What’s refreshing is how open all three were about these gaps in their viewing history.

Rather than pretending to be encyclopedias of film, they leaned into the idea that it’s okay to not have seen everything — even if you’re a major star.

The candidness resonated with fans, many of whom took to social media to share their own “never-seen” movie lists.

“Brad Pitt has never finished Citizen Kane?
I don’t feel so bad about not seeing The Godfather now,” one user tweeted.

Another wrote, “It’s nice to know even Oscar winners have movie blind spots.

The moment also sparked conversations in film forums and critic circles about how we define a “must-watch” movie and whether some films endure because of their influence, or because of the pressure to revere them.

Film is, after all, a personal experience.

What moves one person to tears may leave another cold.

And what some consider “essential viewing” may not resonate with others at all.

That said, DiCaprio, Pitt, and Robbie all agreed that watching classics still holds value, especially for those who want to better understand the craft.

“You can learn so much by studying how a shot is framed, how a scene plays out, how actors connect,” DiCaprio said.

“But it’s also okay to have your own taste.

You don’t have to love a movie just because the whole world tells you to.

Toward the end of the conversation, they each named a film they’ve recently discovered and loved.

For Robbie, it was Network (1976) — “That film is wild, and still so relevant,” she said.

Pitt said he recently revisited Cool Hand Luke, a Paul Newman classic he hadn’t appreciated as much in his younger years.

And DiCaprio praised Paths of Glory, a 1957 Stanley Kubrick film that, in his words, “still hits hard today.

Ultimately, the moment wasn’t about shaming or listing off film credentials.

It was about showing that even the most seasoned professionals in the business are still growing, still learning, and still catching up — just like the rest of us.

So, the next time you feel guilty for not having seen a so-called cinematic masterpiece, just remember: even Leonardo DiCaprio hasn’t watched Gone with the Wind.

And Brad Pitt still hasn’t made it through Citizen Kane.

And that’s perfectly okay.
