I recently just finished Alien, Aliens and Pulp Fiction, ticking them off my list, regretting not having watched them sooner. It's about time, now that I have a lot of spare time, I started finishing off all the movies I never got round to. Wondering if you guys could help me figure out some amazing movies I need to watch.

Ones currently on my list I need to see:

(All the other Alien/Predator Movies)
Reservoir Dogs
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Apocalypse Now
Full Metal Jacket
Ocean's 11
Shawshank Redemption
Green Mile

I know you guys have no idea what I've seen or not, but hopefully you might all suggest things I need to see which I haven't thought about. Thanks guys.

Shawnshank Redemption is great. Also I'd recommend (apart from the ones on your list) that you watch the following animated batman films

  • Year One
  • The Red Hood
  • The Dark Knight Returns.

Films I've also enjoyed are Oldboy or Being John Malkovich. Also watch Tangled.

damn....I seriously cannot list all the stuffs I have watched and have loved...just go to IMDB and pick the movie you like and watch all the other recommendations. The movies I just watched recently were garden state (2004) and death at a funeral (2007, do NOT watch the 2010 version)

The last time I looked at an IMDB list it had 1000 movies and I got scared off by just how many hours I'd have to dedicate.

as a cinephile I do not get scared by it at all. do not watch all the top 250 movies, pick sth you adore so much like Pulp Fiction and watch the recommendations on its page.

for shocking movies but ain't too gory, watch some korean thrillers: I saw the devil, the chaser, the vengeance triology.

for sth truly awesome yet simple, go watch Confessions (Kokuhaku) a 2010 Japanese movie. your life will never ever be the same.

I love Tim Burton stuff, except his live action films. He does amazing animated, terrible live action. No idea why.

Sweeney Todd wasn't animated and I really enjoyed it.

However, I didn't really like Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland - apart from that I currently can't think of a Tim Burton film that I didn't like.

V for vendetta,12 monkeys and clockwork orange I concur too.
I might add Requiem for a dream, Pan's labyrinth,Event horizon, The Mist ,Sucker punch( I quite liked it even tough some people didn't quite understand it),Drive( mostly because Ryan Gosling, heh x.x), Intouchables
Then there might be some more girly movies like The perks of being a wallflower , The Notebook, Let Me In(a nice romance movie with a dark theme)
And probably some others i don't quite remember.

Old Men in New Cars & In China They Eat Dogs (ties in with the crime/thriller/heist movies)
Pacific Rim (for sci-fi / monster fix)
Tokyo Gore Police/The Machine Girl/Big Tit Zombie/Zombie Ass (because no such list is complete without at least one Japanese trash movie bumping up the Dafuq levels)

I agree about Memento and The Usual Suspects, but From Dusk'till Dawn, let's just say that it was the only Tarantino movie I didn't like.

Memento was meh. I mean the plot is mediocre the one thing that saves it is the way the narrative works. IMO.

quite a good list for an authentic movie fan but might be overwhelming for the initiate. And some of them are shamelessly tear-jerking (I am Sam, thought you were going to include Marley and Me as well)

I don't know many people who have not watched the goonies, that is just pure crazy!

I was thinking the same thing... you'd be pretty hard-pressed to find someone who hasn't seen the goonies. Unless they live in a 3rd world hole where they don't have TV lol.
