Movies to see before you die
I'm pretty sure this thread's been done 6,923 times before, but this time it's Wee Gooner making it.
Pretty much what the title says, name movies you aren't allowed to die until you see. You know, in the vein of The Godfather, Pulp Fiction etc. |

Some of those are a little more "indie". I was basically listing movies that are essential in that they have become like pop culture in society and they are also must see movies if you want to say you are a "movie buff" or whatever.
Those are all great though although some are gonna definitely be hit or miss with a lot of people I think. |

I was thinking about that when I was typing it up... I think I decided on putting them in because granted they are hit or miss, people should still at least check them out and givem them a chance. Even if they end up not liking them, they deserve to be watched.
Also, I have to add.. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The Shawshank Redemption Also, The Terminal was a damn good movie that people should watch. |

I know it has already been mentioned at least a couple times, but Memento is definitely a must-see as well.

I loved Kill Bill. Volume 1 was better but both back to back is fucking gold.

Ok. I have a question relating to some movies deemed to be that you must see them before you die...honestly, can whoever wrote the following titles please tell me why someone must see these before they die:
- The Princess Bride - WTF!!! seriously, other than Andre being in it, what the hell is so good about this film??? - I heart Huckebees - this movie was seriously such a pile of artsy crap (IMO granted). I'd really love to know what was so special about it? (although it wasn't mentioned) - Garden state - this movie was so boring and tiresome Last edited by AdrianM; 10-12-2006 at 11:14 PM. |

You're right. Thousands of kids lapped up "Vote For Pedro" shirts because they hated the movie. Good call, AdrianM.

Dude, everyone has different senses of humor and tastes in shit. Thats all there is to it. Pleading to the masses and looking for an explanation isn't gonna change that. Once you realize that, discussing and enjoying/criticizing anything becomes more enjoyable and less frustrating.
