Top 5 "must watch" movies

[Renji]

I have decided to collect copy of good movies so I can watch it whenever there is a long college break. Any suggestions?

Bringing up baby & Arsenic & old lace.
They are classics that are firmly based on acceptence in the world fore most!
You will find things here in a reason able way without extremes of upset feelings.
They speak of others opinions & odd objectivity that makes you smile without ever shedding a tear!

I'm a sap, but these are some movies I have genuinely loved over the years.

1. August Rush - Yes, a bit sappy, but I love the themes in the movie. Have a box of Kleenex ready for the ending.
2. A Perfect World - A quirky, Clint Eastwood movie that is perhaps Kevin Costner's best work to date.
3. Rob Roy - Arrrggghhhhh. Scotland, the land where men are men and the sheeps be nervous.
4. Heat - Val Kilmer, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Jon Voight, Tom Sizemore and President David Palmer of 24 (aka - Dennis Haysbert) - ALL in one movie. WOW. Awesome firefight scene after the bank heist. O.O
5. A beautiful mind - based on a true story. A truly inspiring movie. (Be sure to watch the "making of" in the special features section of the DVD.)

(6. Scent of a woman - Al Pacino again, with one of his most memorable performances.)
(7. Painted Lady - Written for and starring Helen Mirren. A wonderful movie I have seen perhaps a dozen times. It never gets old.)

and for good reason. I tend to shy away from "classic" movies before the 70's because the acting was so terribly stilted - as a rule.

"Stand by Me" is a great movie so is "A Clockwork Orange" and "2001: A Space Odyssey"

 

[gnomon]

The First World War - best documentary on WWI
Kontroll - just a great film about good and evil
M - Fritz Lang pretty much set up the detective movies and film noir
I Saw the Devil - Violent, disturbing South Korean film
Spirited Away - One of the best animated fantasies out there

 

[Yerda]

Pan's Labyrinth,
The Lives of Others,
Schindler's List,
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Eraserhead.

That's a bit of variety for you.

3. Scotland, the land where men are men and the sheeps be nervous.

I like Liam Neeson, but I never liked Roy Roy. I always thought he was such a poor swordsman in this film there was no way he would ever win a duel.

 

[drakonyx]

Pan's Labyrinth is a great one. Among the few movies where subtitles don't bother me.
