Let's build the essential movie list

Original Freak

I am the ORIGINAL Freak
Here's how it works.

1) The movies should be main stream, hollywood type movies. If we went small and indie the list could get pretty obscure to most people.

2) Let's keep in alphabetical order

3) Copy and paste the list then add yours. Don't quote and keep any opinions to a minimum. You can start a new thread if you want to argue a movie.

4) Feel free to add color to your new ones for ease of knowing who added what, assuming you turn all the rest black.



Down with Love
Fight Club
Shawshank Redemption

If it's supposed to be an essentail movie list, how can you afford to let things be left out?

Because...the essential main steam hollywood movie list seemed too long. Besides the smaller and less known movies may seem essential to some but to a lot of people they probably havn't even heard of them. I was going for well known movies.

American Beauty
Down with Love
Fight Club

Lord of the Ring Trilogy
JFK
Matrix, The

Shawshank Redemption
Star Wars (all 6 when they come out in a set)

Temporarily Deactive.
Just briefly, may I ask what the fascination with Lord of the Rings is? I don't know
what alll the hype is.

I'll give this the weekend...on Monday I would like to gently discuss some of these movies. I've already seen a few I don't think should be on this list. It's getting lengthy already though.

I could go on and on, but I won't. I think somone should make an essential NON Mainstream list. I so prefer indie movies to mainstream ones.

I think it's good to see movies that are parodied a lot, or you miss out!
