Must-see movies list
« on: April 15, 2008, 12:11:25 pm »
From talking with Cae, it's apparent that there's a TON of movies that I need to see. So I started a google docs spreadsheet, available here. Feel free to post movies in this thread, and we'll add them to the list.

Right now, only Cae, morgul, and myself can edit it - just post here and we'll stick your suggestions in.

I watched so much scrambled TV porn when I was young that by the time I got to see real porn I was quickly put off by the lack of subtlety and unabstract nature of it.

I haven't had a chance to add them to the list yet. 

And yeah, those you listed are GREAT.

-Pitch Black
-Chronicles of Riddick.


If you don't like the first, still watch the second. They're basically completely different movies.

-Serenity
-Patton
-Boondock Saints

Those are just off the top of my head.

And if you like the second, but not the first, you deserve a half brick to the skull.

Also, Boondock Saints RULES.

They all rule.

Patton most of all though, but that's just because I have a fascination with the man.

Harry Potter 3 and Star Wars Episode 1, bitches.

The two movies that might rival my all time favorite: Legally Blond 2.

...though Sixteen Candles rocked too...

As much as I don't get along with you sometimes... Just because you like Boondock Saints I might offer to bare your children.

But *cough* back to what I came here to say...

SLC Punk
Trainspotting
Cloverfield
Vampire Clan
Ginger Snaps
King of California

There's this one movie... I forgot what it's called but I'll look it up in a bit. Basically this guy has a disassociative mental disorder. He ends up dating this blow-up doll, and he has to cope with every day normal life with this "real-doll" girlfriend.

Ginger Snaps?

 :commissar:

Lost Boys, I could forgive, but Ginger Snaps?!

Also, Trainspotting is really cool.

Yeah, well . . . you don't have to be all  :math: in order to enjoy that one.  It's from Darren Aronovsky, the director of Requiem for a Dream.

Wow, I completely forgot about this movie. Well, I haven't thought about it much, but one movie comes to mind:

Chinatown.

It's a surprisingly good movie.
