Recommend me classics.

**PaperclipGames** · 04-27-2013, 05:40 PM

I only have very few movies on my watched list. I obviously miss a big bunch of classics; movies that everyone simply must have watched. I think the only super classic that I did watch was Pulp Fiction.

So I've decided to finally start to put a little bit of effort into watching some movies, considering I'm gonna have a little bit of spare time. First movie is gonna be 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Note that it doesn't necessarily have to be a "good" movie; it has to be a movie that makes people like "what? You haven't?" when you tell them you haven't seen it yet. I simply want to extend my knowledge of movies to what most people have. I've really seen too few movies in my life so far.

Thanks, much appreciated~

**Pseudo Enigma** · 04-27-2013, 05:45 PM

I'd like to recommand yourself a new thread title broski

p.s. inb4 90s movies

Armageddon is a pretty good one imo.

**noname219** · 04-27-2013, 05:48 PM

2001 is a tough movie to start with but it's worth the watch. Just don't watch it when you're feeling sleepy.

Some others you might want to check out : The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, A Clockwork Orange, The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Alfred Hitchcock stuff (Psycho, Rear Window, Vertigo, North by Northwest), Blade Runner, Fight Club, The Silence of the Lambs, American Beauty, Se7en, Memento, Alien, etc...

edit : more recent ones you can check out : Oldboy, Cidade de Deus, The Departed, Moon, Snatch.

**MarioNintendo** · 04-27-2013, 10:43 PM

The Matrix. Only the first one. You'll be blown away.

**samurai7694** · 04-27-2013, 10:54 PM

I was about to mention A Clockwork Orange and Full Metal Jacket but it's mentioned already. I love both of them.

Scarface too if you haven't already seen it. As a Cuban myself I find it amusing how Al Pacino took the character/accent and the way cocaine (yeyo) has changed him throughout the movie was interesting to me too.

marionintendo is 100% correct (i got it right this time plop!! xoxo)
i watch the matrix every once in a while to remind myself of cyberpunk's serious awesomeness, same with ghost in the shell (<- watch dis)

also, did you guys know that the matrix was inspired by ghost in the shell, shirow's cyberpunk manga from the early 90s?

here's a comparison video of the matrix and ghost in the shell!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3tF7TL0Qh4#t=1m27s

the wachowski brothers said they tried to capture the feel of cyberpunk.. and ghost in the shell did a fantastic job of providing that framework, and the matrix provided that cyberpunk feel to america!

also: blade runner is a good movie to watch along with the matrix.

**DragonIIDX** · 04-28-2013, 12:18 AM

Other people here mentioned some good ones already but I guess anything with Arnold Schwarzenegger is good. Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, (the 3rd one kinda sucked IMO) Total Recall, Predator, Commando, etc.

**Mourningfall** · 04-28-2013, 02:56 AM

Classics eh?

Blow
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Where the Buffalo Roam
The Illusionist
Taxi Driver
Two Hands
Never Die Alone
Black Dynamite
Idiocracy
Requiem For a Dream
Romper Stomper
American History X
Reservoir Dogs
The Big Lebowski
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Sin City
Sleuth

I tried to stick to some less appreciated classics rather than the obligatory Stanley Kubrick, Mario Puzo or Martin Scorsese films
(With the exception of Taxi Driver of course).
These are just some of the movies that are (for me, at least) absolutely unforgettable.

Enjoy~

**PaperclipGames** · 04-28-2013, 04:56 AM

Damn, that's quite some titles. Thanks guys! Also LOTR and The Matrix I happen to have seen; but I saw The Matrix when I was only like 10 so I don't really know it in deep detail anymore. I've added most of these to my to-watch list. Empty time just became movie time.

I'm happy also to see that I've seen #1 on the IMDB list (Shawshank Redemption). I agree that that movie was plain brilliant.

True Lies is actually really good, doesn't deserve to be mentioned alongside those titles.

Films you've must have seen -

Star Wars (IV-VI)
Jurassic Park
Back to the Future
Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Ark
E.T.
Wizard of Oz
All the good Disney movies (Lion King etc)

Films you should see -

The Dark Knight
Inception
American Psycho
Enter the Dragon
There Will Be Blood
The Usual Suspects
Platoon
Goodfellas
Forrest Gump

Team America

and probably some horror movie crud (friday the 13th, the omen, the thing blah blah)

If you liked Pulp Fiction these two come specially recommended.

City of God - goodfellas in brazil
Boogie Nights - dirk diggler!

also Black Book

Aliens (the first one, personally my favourite movie of all time)
Rush Hour (haters gonna hate)
Titanic
LOTR
Predator (not that godawful remake)
Terminator (first one)
The Matrix (the whole series)
Platoon
Hot Shots (and the second one)
The Naked Gun series
Airplane
Ghostbusters
The Mask
Toy Story
Flubber
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
Parent Trap
The Lion King (Disney's version of Hamlet hehe, you'll see the similarities in it~)
Monsters, inc.
Scarface (Say 'ello to my little friend!)
The Godfather (Drop the gun and take the cannoli!)

There's more but I have to check out my movie shelf for it, got about 1.5-2k movies lmao.

**popsicle_3000** · 04-28-2013, 08:48 AM
