    So there are just those movies that everyone has to watch at least once.
    This topic came up with my Aunt and she was shocked with the movies I haven't/hadn't seen.
    And it's not like I don't watch a lot of movies.

    So, starting a list.
    What movies are a must watch?

    Here's my contibutions:
    -Back to the Future movies
    -The Breakfast Club
    -Billy Elliot
    -Lion King
    -Starwars movies
    -Forrest Gump
    -Ghost Busters
    -Easy A
    -Inception
    -The Karate Kid (the original one)


    There's heaps more but it's 1:40AM and my mind is running a bit slow :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    So just add the movies you think everyone should watch at least once. :thumbsup:

    Lost in Translation (Amazing film, favorite so far like, ever)

    Wind Chill (2007 Indie horror movie)

    Kill Bill (Awesome movie. Cool acting and movie sticks with you and is a lasting film)

    The Exorcist (Book was great, movie was ultra-disturbing)

    Red-Eye (2005 w/ Rachel McAdams, not really must see, but I loved it and therefore/ergo you should like it too, OKHEY?)

    The Deer Hunter (Not for the faint of heart)

    Underworld series (preferably the first film, although the second and third ones were good two. Fourth movie is garbage-y)

    Resident Evil series (same as above, good first film, okay successors. Kind of a guilty pleasure series)

    Wall-E (Definitely!)( I also don't care that much about Finding Nemo, so deal with it)

    The Fifth Element (Milla Jovovich is usually a good actress)

    Marie Antoinette (2006 vers. directed by Sofia Coppola, same dir. as Lost in Translation. Really cool movie)

    Silent Hill (First film was a pretty good adaption of a video game series. Heard the second film was a total travesty.)

    Stranger Than Fiction (A dramedy with Will Ferrell. Very intriguing and exquisite)

    The Body (2001 w/ Antonio Banderas and Olivia Williams. About the possible discovery of the body of Jesus Christ. Loved it.)

    Finally, The Descent (2005 horror movie about cave exploring that goes wrong. I was in tears at the end, so watch it.)
