Recommend me classics.

Re: Recommend me classics.

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.
