    This was the wrong thread to post buddy :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I could go on for hours and hours and hours xD

    If you take a look at my blog, I have a blog in there detailing 98% of the DVDs I own, which you should watch. All of them. :grin:

    Films I don't own that you must watch:
    Apocalypse Now
    Eraserhead
    The Big Lebowski
    Almost Famous
    Pan's Labyrinth
    City of God
    Life is Beautiful
    Dazed and Confused (technically I own it but it is currently in someone else's hands -_-)
    Schindler's List

    I'll continue at another time :grin:

    If there are 5 films that Every person in the world MUST watch.
    This would be them. In my opinion of course, which Dylan, btw , isn't allowed to have :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    1. American History X
    2. Apocalypse Now
    3. Schindler's List
    4. Requiem For a Dream
    5. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

    Why these films? Not only because they are amazing pieces of cinematographic art, but because they have a really deep meaning in all of them. Especially American History X.

    Oo, and a fun one to see is Boondock Saints =D

    EDIT: HERES MORE:
    Se7en
    Fight Club
    The Game
    Panic Room
    The Godfather Pt 1 and 2
    Alien
    Aliens
    Alien 3
    Alien Resurrection (for shits and giggles)
    Predator
    Predator 2

    I should've put Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind as its my 3rd favourite film. But it is tied with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas also. But both of those I semi-mentioned as i both have them on DVD

    If you wanna go toward the more fucked up good movies then this:

    Irreversible (French Film, Very amazing though)
    Jacob's Ladder
    The Devil's Rejects
    House of 1000 Corpses (more of a cult film really =P)

    Even though its on my DVD list, Make sure you watch the film The Warriors. Its totally badass. <3

    Gee, Joey, one might actually get the impression you like movies :slight_smile:

    OK, some of my very-old-but-amazing favorites:

    Inherit the Wind (Very timely now, with the discussions of religion vs. gay marriage, but made in 1962)

    Silver Thread (also ~1964, gripping character drama about a woman who has taken pills to commit suicide and the suicide crisis line volunteer who talks to her)

    Harold and Maude (1969) You really have to see it. A 20 year old falls in love with an 80 year old at a funeral for someone that neither of them knew. Very life-affirming.

    I'll post some newer ones later.
