Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) What movies do you all see as awesome in a can? That way, all of us can catch up on great movies we've never seen before. Also, only add movies that aren't on Da List yet.

SixTwoSixFour Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) No particular order here... and these aren't all milestones, I guess, just movies I really think you should watch. Escape From New York Great Mouse Detective The Usual Suspects Pulp Fiction Reservoir Dogs Dr. Strangelove (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade [The others are good, but Last Crusade is the best. Skip Crystal Skull if you decide to watch the others.] Star Wars: Episodes IV-VI Ferris Bueller's Day Off Blade Runner Wayne's World Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome Princess Mononoke (Mononoke-hime if you prefer) Spirited Away Casino Royale Duck Soup (1933) Street Fighter Plan 9 From Outer Space Henry V (1989) God, this list is so incomplete. But it's all I can think of right now. I'll try again later. Edited October 17, 2011 by SixTwoSixFour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangelove Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) I think itd be easier to post which movies i SHOULD watch, but havent. Its just easier. Ive never seen any of the Alien movies. None of the Indiana Jones movies, none of the Die Hard movies, none of the James Bond Movies, none of the Bourne movies, and I also havent seen Blade Runner or Apocalypse Now. Or Deliverance. I also have never really cared for horror, so ive seen few of those outside of one of each of the big franchises. I dont do horror sequels.

VicariousShaner Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 12 Angry Men Well, I don't watch all that many movies, but this is my complete absolute favorite, even beating the elusive "Dude, Where's My Car?" 12 Angry Men is a movie so great that it only get's better with each repeated viewing. The characters are fleshed out, the actors play their roles amazingly, and even though it all takes place in a single room the scenes can be extremely intense. This movie has been called one of the best of all time, and it is plain to see why. I urge anyone reading this to make a note to see this movie as soon as possible. "Dude, Where's My Car" was me half joking. I should probably mention I am not a stoner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yantelope Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I know there are a lot of MGS fans here and I saw Escape from New York on the list up near the top. If you love MGS you have to watch at least the first 30 minutes of Escape from New York so you can see how much Kojima stole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFlyingGerbil Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Dancer In The Dark. I can't say you would enjoy watching it but you certainly should. Amelie. So full of joy if it doesn't leave you with a warm feeling I would genuinely pity you. Clueless. Probably the perfect teen comedy. La Antenna. So much imagination in this film - you won't see anything else like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome is a terrible, terrible movie. I am going to pretend that I think you were joking. Totally. I would've picked the second over that if anything. I'm going to just write stuff I think is awesome. Even if some are obvious ones, the point was just to write films we like.... Infernal Affairs House of Flying Daggers City of God North by Northwest Rear Window Four Lions La Haine The Battle of Algiers Falling Down The Big Sleep The Hudsucker Proxy Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Munich Little Miss Sunshine Three Kings Serenity Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World Twin Warriors I'm guessing no one has mentioned it because maybe it is too obvious... The Shawshank Redemption Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I'm probably gonna end up with ones you've seen. But let's do this anyway. Shawshank Redemption: Great feel good film. (p.s you guys suck for it to take to page 2 for this to be mentioned) Monty Pythons Life of Brian: Very funny film. Great lines. Banned in Wales. nuf said. The Fifth Element: It's silly, stylish, fun, mostly lacking in CGI, great cast. I should pick it up on Blu-Ray The Matrix (and Animatrix too): This I do own on Blu-Ray, whole trilogy. Great blu-ray film. The Truman Show: Carrey really sells this. Great concept too. (especially when you realise it's over 13 years old n reality TV hadn't really caught on at that point) Enemy of the State: (also 13 years old) Good thriller Brazil: Terry Gilliam (of Monty Python animation sequence fame) It's not exactly a favourite, but it's a film I suggest watching just cos it's so trippy. Last Action Hero: It's TV Tropes: The Film. It physically shatters the fourth wall. Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrles/Snatch: Either or, they're practically the same film, though Snatch has higher production values. Forrest Gump: It does drag on a bit, but it's an awesome film. some great photoshopping too. Gattaca: Good one for a future where designer babies are the norm. Stargate: I had this film read to me I could watch it just for the first ka-woosh. Contact: Kinda like forrest gump this drags on. But probably best "what if we were contacted by aliens" movie. T2:Judgement Day: Cos it's fucking awesome and there's a man made out of liquid metal who used to give me nightmares (the car part) Die Hard: It's Die Hard. Best christmas film ever made. Kung Fu Panda: Just a really enjoyable 3D film, some good lines from Dustin Hoffmans character. FFVII:Advent Children: The plot I don't much get but it's a fucking beautiful film and one of the few I think "gets" the point of a photorealistic 3D film. Spirits Within is good too, just ignore it's Final Fantasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I don't think I was impressed as everyone else seemed to be with Kung Fu Panda, but I do still remember one great bit. Where Po is lying about his dream, saying it was about noodles to appease his restaurant-owning dad (voiced by the wonderful James Hong). And then his dad is all, "You finally had the noodle dream!"

deanb Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 HAHAH. As I wrote it out I was going to put that in on the end but felt it'd be odd with saying Hoffman had great lines. Personally one of my favourite lines: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewblaha Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Following the rule of "Not posting stuff that others already have:" Agreeing with Dean about having Shawshank on page two. That's so bad. Office Space Children of Men Yankee Doodle Dandy Uncle Buck The Blues Brothers The Great Outdoors Patton Life is Beautiful The Departed Zodiac (David Fincher) Casino The Bourne Identity The Bourne Supremacy The Bourne Ultimatum The Hunt for Red October The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Predator Commando The Emperor's New Groove A Goofy Movie I'm sure I can think of more. I'm surprised a lot of these weren't mentioned 'til now. More specifically Office Space, Predator, and The Hunt for the Red October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
