    The Blockbuster Crusade

    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?

      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.

                  RE: The Blockbuster Crusade

                  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.

                          My next were going to be Clerks and Full Metal Jacket, but then I got distracted by this.


                          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.

                                  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.

                                      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
                                      Nice.

                                          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
