Must-see movies?

Here are some movies that I would strongly recommend you all go and watch (in no particular order)…

La Vita è Bella (Life is Beautiful) - Possibly my favourite movie. - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118799/
Amèlie - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0211915/
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073486/
Baraka - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103767/

That’s all of the really good movies I’ve seen that I can think of.

What movies would you strongy recommend?

Andrew

The Princess Bride

Napolian Dynomite (comes out on video on dec 23rd, best movie ever!)

Monty Python and the Holy Grail(oh so good, best movie ever!)

Space Balls(very good also)

Dumb and Dumber(awesome)

Those are the ones I really like that I can think of off hand and I recommend if you havent seen them. I think most people saw the 3 latter. Oh and Donnie Darko

Agreed. That’s another of my favourites, I’d forgotten about it.

amelie is good, but i much prefer city of lost children and delicatassen. who knows where alien 4 came from?! i guess all good directors are allowed one crap film (not that alien 4 was that bad, with all considerations).

i have always been a big fan of kurosawa.

im sure most of you have seen darren aronofsky’s films but if not, go see pi and requiem immediately.

american history x is a good one as well.

terry gilliam always does a good job.

and lets not forget kubrick (although he has at least one weak film: lo…lee…ta).

i highly suggest il postino (the postman) for people of all ages. the box says its a romantic comedy but dont be fooled, its actually one of the most depressing films i have ever seen.

Watched Delicatessen last night…really enjoyed it! :slight_smile:

Sounds like La Vita è Bella (Life is Beautiful) to me…have you seen that one?

Andrew

My three favorite movies have remained pretty much the same for some time.

To Kill a Mockingbird
Aliens
Stranger than Paradise

I recently saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and was completely blown away by it. An absolutely beautiful movie. I can not recommend it highly enough.

Agreed, another gem. :slight_smile:

Shawshank Redemption
Tora Tora
The Wall
Dumb and Dumber (good call!)

My 3 favourites…

The Deer Hunter
Cube
Being John Malcovich

Re: Must-see movies?

That’s the only one you listed that I had seen, and it’s really good. The book is better, of course, in my not so humble opinion.

I love almost all comedy movies. See all the Monty Python’s, Airplane!, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off… And some others I can’t think of right now.

Good Movies I’ll recommend to anyone:
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
12 Angry Men
12 Monkeys
Seven
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Bad movies, but I like them anyway:
Army of Darkness
Drunken Master (The 1970s version with Jackie Chan)
The Fifth Element
Baseketball

Excuse me!?

Army of darkness is NOT a bad movie. PFF!

City of God
True Romance
Sling Blade
Breaking Away
Europa Europa
Less Than Zero
Lost Boys

I have so many more…

Clatu

Verata

Ni[coff]

There, I said it!!!

Ahhhhh, that was just pllowtalk, baby

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Platoon
Taxi Driver
Edward Scissor Hands
Lord of the Rings
Blazing Saddles
Ghost Dog
Natural Born Killers
Goodfellas
Resevoir Dogs

General Dibbles…you posted that while I was Watching Resvoir Dogs for the first time

what do you think of it?

Oh, it’s a bad movie - it’s just one of those “bad in a good way” types of movies. It’s also my second favorite movie - I own three versions of AoD and a couple copies of the two prequels.

i’m not completely done it, i’ll finish it off tonight. I think its fine, but there are some parts i don’t care for…the long drawn scenes, but there is enough humour and suspense to keep you interested.

How 'bout Ear incedent :astonished:
