The Blockbuster Crusade

[Omeganitros]

Saturday night, I saw The Truman Show for the first time.


I realized that there's alot of good movies I haven't seen. So on Sunday I decided to rent every single movie anyone has ever suggested. I started with Man on the Moon, and 12 Monkeys.


Anyone got suggestions? Should I get that black and white movie The Seven Samurai?

[MalReynolds]

Oh, crap. Defnitiley get "Igby Goes Down", uh... "Matchstick Men" "The Big Lebowski"...

I'll have more later. I'm a movie buff, so I know of a lot of ones out there.

Meh.

I've done this with Whorli... as she saw practically no movies before me, I've spent 2 years showing her tons of great movies.

Rainman
Apocalypse Now (original, not redux)
Hackers (too funny not to see)
Full Metal Jacket
The Sting
Boiler Room
Snatch / Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels
Rounders

All Tarantino films: Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction, & Reservoir Dogs

Boondock Saints
The Rock
Shawshank Redemption

Probably 10+ more... and I didn't include any "stupid" humor movies, like Van Wilder, Dodgeball, etc.

[esupin]

By the looks of your sig, I'm assuming you've seen Spaceballs.

[Varia]

The Evil Dead series.
Reckless Kelly (Yahoo Serious)
Legend (story is alright, but the visuals...oh my god)
Flight of the Dragons (an old animated movie. 80's?)
All Miyao Hayazaki films (Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Laputa etc)
All Akira Kurasawa films (Seven Samurai is a must)
Naked Space (one of Leslie Neilson's first movies I think. It's cheesy, but it makes up for it in monster awesomeness)
Friends (Korean)

I know of some really good Japanese/Korean movies, but there are no translations or anything. Bummer for you guys.

Not for me. Do share.

Try to find Brazil too. But only if it is the UK version. <3 Moogy.

My next were going to be Clerks and Full Metal Jacket, but then I got distracted by this. (http://movies.nnov.ru/Covers/Red%20Shadow%20Akakage.jpg)


So my two will be Red Shadow and Seven Samurai, even though Red Shadow might end up not being good.

Clerks is amazing. As I said above, I didn't include any comedy movies... but all 5 of Kevin Smith's films are classic. Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay & Bob Strike Back (see last).

FMJ I listed. :)

[talisman]

the first part of FMJ is the best. After that it feels like it loses cohesion. Plus all anyone ever wants to see is Sgt. Hartman.

[nickadeemus]

Must see that haven't been said: The Royal Tenenbaums, Dirty Work, Training Day
Should see: Four Rooms, The Girl Next Door, Man on Fire, Shaun of the Dead, everything Tass said.
Awesome action-packed movie with Bruce Willis: The Last Boy Scout

[mead1]

Actiony: Equilibrium

It is hands down the gratest actiony movie I have ever seen. It has a good plotline as well, but seriously, the fights are freaking amazing.

Comedy: Mystery Men, Major Payne, The Blues Brothers

Horror-ish: The Others

[JurseyRider734]

The Notebook. Come on :(

[Tasselfoot]

Dirty Work, Mystery Men, and Major Payne are downright awful....

[Jam930]

Ohhh I love Totoro.
Right on Varia!

I kinda have eccentric tastes... but here you go.

What I think you'd like if you liked 12 Monkeys:
Collateral
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Fight Club
Se7en
Requiem for a Dream
2001: A Space Odyssey
The Sixth Sense
Terminator

Some warm and fuzzy stuff:
Freaky Friday
A Walk to Remember
Spiderman
In America

[Moogy]

AIM me later.

[suicidalmuskrat]

American Beauty...Dogma...Ping Pong (Japanese flick...good luck finding it though)...

[Omeganitros]

The Notebook. Come on :(


Never. I talked to my English teacher about which one is better.

[Omeganitros]

Saw Shaun of the Dead.



Oh man, that was a freaking great movie. The dialogue and acting created the most three-dimensional characters I've ever seen, and not to mention that the whole movie was, while absolutely hilarious, also amazingly accurate in it's presentation of a how a group of regular citizens might react to a zombie attack. I give this movie a solid A, and I may even go buy the DVD.

[Omeganitros]

Rented Fantasia 2000 and Citizen Kane. Yet to see them, but I am excited about Fantasia 2000, since I love the concept of putting visuals to music rather than music to visuals.

[Omeganitros]

Fantasia 2000 rocked my world, though it was saddingly short compared to the 2 hour Fantasia. But I absolutely loved the drawing style for Rhapsody in Blue, so it's all good. And Stravinsky's Firebird almost made me well up tears because it was really good and it brought back memories of playing it last year in marching band.

[Starshot]

Army of Darkness
God of Cookery
History of the World, Part 1 (Hell, all of Mel Brook's movies for that matter)
Monty Python's The Meaning of Life
A Fish Called Wanda
Airplane
The Naked Gun Series
The Shining

(Not nessesarily in that order)

[Varia]

The Warriors

[jewpinthethird]

The Warriors

Oh man, oh man, oh man. Yes. I can't believe I didnt mention this movie.

[Omeganitros]

I saw Clerks and Sin City. Both were very good. Clerks had legendary dialogue, and Sin City had Josh Harnett playing the Salesman. Mickey Rourke was also very awesome.
