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.

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

Re: Recommend me classics.

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.

On topic, some classics that I do recommend are:
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.

The Third Man, Citizen Kane, and other Orson Welles stuff
Gone with the Wind
Cool Hand Luke
Jaws
Seven Samurai & Yojimbo (gonna need subs for this) Akira Kurosawa or you can just watch The Magnificent Seven and A Fistful of Dollars for the westernized remakes

Robocop
Terminator
Child's Play
Dr Strangelove
Random Bond films
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Raging Bull
