What are some awesome movies
« on: October 04, 2009, 08:04:32 pm »
What the title says. I'm on a movie-watching kick lately and there's TONS of classic movies (both old, and modern classics) that I've never seen. I've been keeping a list. What suggestions would you add to it? Anything goes, I don't have any genre I'm looking for.

You've seen The Road Warrior right?  It's listed next to Awesome in the dictionary.

I have no idea where else to begin, so let the List of Movies Everyone's Already Seen commence.

Just saw Batman Begins and the Dark Knight. Both are awesome!

However if you are looking for classic films then:
Clerks
Gold Finger
Die Hard
Requiem For A Dream
Evil Dead Trilogy (Hail to the King baby! Basically Duke Nukem stole all his catch phrases from here.)
2001
Death At A Funeral
Chungking Express
Battle Royale
Akira
Best in Show
Breakfast at Tiffany's

In fact just go see the 1001 movies you must see before you die site.

First ten minutes of play I ate my loincloth and then got some limbs torn off by a super friendly rat. Thumbs up from me.

But only if you have a bit of experience with the awesomeness of the B-movie era...

Anything from the Hammer films stable. Anything where the drawcard is Giant Japanese Monsters Punch Each Other's Shit Until It Falls Off.

For a more literal take on 'awesome', as in something that will fill you with awe, go check out Paradise Now. It's a movie I recommend to nearly everyone, and no-one ever goes on to watch it, because of what it's about. It's a movie about two friends who just so happen to be suicide bombers in Palestine. It lead to the most surreal movie-going experience of my life - cue the ending scene, the credits roll, and a theatre full of 200-300 people were frozen to their seats in absolute silence. No-one dared to move or even breathe loudly until the credits had finished.

Now that was a movie.

As well, all the posts i've seen you make are flame posts, barely if at all constructive.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Wall Street was good.

Also: Ran. Ran was amazing.

The Lord of the Rings movies were pretty good, but I'd also suggest Flight of The Navigator, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and the sci-fi channel movie, "Wyvern".

Just kidding on that last one. Maybe.

That's the same as "Alien?" I actually tried to rent that last night but Blockbuster didn't have it.

Thanks for all the suggestions keep 'em coming. Also I forgot my only restriction, no damn anime, except by the dude that made Spirited Away.
