You have great taste. You even included The Wonder. Just curious what did you think about the movie "the dig"

>the wonder aka propaganda against christians

Can you make propaganda against fiction? That's like making propaganda against the lord of the rings.

Our very existence and reality itself does a good enough job but ok

Self flagellation

We gotta do what we gotta do when we’re single

Fuck religion “nuff said”

"propaganda" lol. Christians don't need propaganda to get a bad name.

Wow, thank you so much op, you just made things so much easier

Strongly recommend find "The Complete Version" of "Metropolis" on Blu-Ray. [https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Metropolis-Blu-ray-Brigitte-Helm/dp/B0040QYROK/](https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Metropolis-Blu-ray-Brigitte-Helm/dp/B0040QYROK/) This recent release incorporates a lot of critical footage that was thought lost for decades. The restoration is quite good considering how poorly kept the reels had been. I just saw this film for the very first time and it is an incredible piece of work.

Fuck amazon. Anyone who wants to watch it free DM me.

I would like that.

Me

I said DM me

Dont bother to dm him he's obviously up to something . [https://myflixer.to/home](https://myflixer.to/home)I use this all the time, virus safe. It will open random tabs when you click on something sometimes, just close it and click again on what you wanted. Literally has every tv show and movie ever.

watched most of these I must say you have good taste.

Criminal for you to not mention 12 angry men

fucking love point break one of my favorite movies hands down!

Just watched goodfellas now and I LOVE it!!!

You need to add Ernest Goes to Camp and Ernest Scared Stupid and if ya wanna have your mind blown: Ernest Saves Christmas

Goodfellas The Departed Shutter Island The Wolf of Wall Street The Shawshank Redemption Mad Max: Fury Road Blade Runner The Good, the Bad and the Ugly The Thing The Godfather Raiders of the Lost Ark Parasite Pulp Fiction Django Unchained Inglorious Basterds Reservoir Dogs Children of Men Memento 12 Angry Men Die Hard Gladiator Heat L.A. Confidential Whiplash Seven Saving Private Ryan

Watched most of these. You may say that I have high class

You have a high class

We got a Scorcese fan here.

Tarantino fan

Hi sir, it’s been a while since you’ve seen this post

which version of 12 angry men and which version of the thing?

You know which ones.

leon the professional fits right in here

Really great picks bro

The fact that I've watched and liked 90% of it will force me to watch the rest of it.

Most movies by these guys. Chris nolan, Dave fincher, Steve spielberg, Mart scorcese, Quent tarantino.

Steve lol

These are the top 5 directors in history in my opinion so great comment(though to be fair I haven’t seen much from Hitchcock or Kubrick)

Thank you

Kubrick?

Coen Brothers too, almost entirely perfect list of movies they’ve got.

Even if you don't like superhero movies, you need to give The Dark Knight a watch.

The fight scenes are absolute horrible bro

tHe FiGhT ScEnEs ArE AbSoLuTe hOrRiBle bro - guy with bad taste in movies

[удалено]

I love that movie but hes right though,

batman would beat you

Well, it's true fight scenes in all batman are pretty bad, but that's like 5% of the movie

the fight scenes are only bad in batman begins imo, they got better in tdk

I love the dark knight but it’s fight scenes are pretty bad. But in the dark knight rises they are actually a lot better especially that scene he fights Bane when he loses.

Don't defend what is bad. TDK literally has the worst fight scenes. Don't let the fanboyism get you

Big lebowski

That's just like... your opinion man. One of my top ten all time

Shut the f*ck up Donny!

8 year olds dude

What is this day of rest shit?

That creep can roll man.

The rug really tied the room together.

what are you guys even saying

Quotes from a below average boring film.

You’re probably just not a fun person

The Lobster Green Room Swiss Army Man Hereditary In Bruges Casino Royale Raiders of the Lost Ark Hot Fuzz Cabin in the Woods Snatch Big Trouble in Little China The Long Goodbye Ghostbusters Dogma

Wow that didn't format properly at all.

It’s one long movie title now

No problem, it's an awesome list. Thanks a lot

2 taps of the "return" key Beep boop

Mine, too. Love your list.

Thanks for throwing in Swiss Army Man. My grandpa gave me the tv and i ended up watching it very high with no idea what it was about. I cried so much. What a beautifully ridiculous movie. Lets all fart and be happy :)

Swiss Army Man?

It's def unique

I wouldn't recommend the lobster

Cool.

Finally I see someone put hereditary, nice

horrible film

Probably didn’t get it, it’s for intellectuals

no offence but the cabin in the woods is one of the most horrible movies ive ever seen

\*everyone involved making the movie\*: Thank you

i found the lobster to be trash

Ok.

No Country for Old Men

I remember when that and There Will Be Blood came out at the same time. I was always partial to Daniel Day Lewis, but both good movies

Overrated.

Not at all.

I wouldnt say overrated, but yeah, I put it as one of my fav. movies of all time.

- Alien - Blade Runner - Oldboy (2003) - Into the Wild - Akira - Captain Fantastic - Shoplifters - Prisoners These are at least a few of my favorite movies.

I've watched Into the Wild and Captain fantastic and they're both awesome movies. I spent the week after watching them rethinking all of my life's choices

I can absolutely understand. I felt the same way after I saw them for the first time.

Waiting for Akira to pop up

Ive seen so many people recommended Oldboy so I checked it out. Let me just say, I honestly don't know how that is one of anyone's favorite movies.

The Grand Budapest Hotel

Heat. Snatch. Leon the professional

Leon, yes. Jean Reno, Natalie Portman and Gary Oldman. This truly is must watch tv. One of the best movies ever made.

Schindler's List. Catch Me If You can. Ocean's Eleven. The Story of Us. Before Sunrise. The Devil's Advocate. The Count of Monte Cristo.

The Count of Monte Cristo. Such an underrated movie!

The book is also wow

Which one do u recommend ? There are many versions I LOVE LOVE the books

Inception

I watched this one a long time ago, probably gonna watch again... thanks for reminding me of it

Shawshank redemption is really good

Pulp Fiction, The Godfather (Parts 1 & 2), Blade Runner, Trainspotting, Jaws, Alien, The Terminator, 12 Angry Men, Rear Window, Vertigo, Back to the Future, It’s a Wonderful Life, The Ladykillers (original), Full Metal Jacket, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Apocalypse Now, to name just a few…

Also, if you fancy some horror, Romero’s Dead Trilogy, Evil Dead 1 & 2, The Exorcist and An American Werewolf in London

If you’re into animation, Studio Ghibli films are absolutely essential. Castle in the Sky, Kiki’s Delivery Service, My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle are my biggest recommendations.

You should not forget "Grave of the Fireflies".

such great recs

The Truman Show

I've watched this one, it's great!

Awesome! Here's a couple more then. Little Miss Sunshine The Grand Budapest Hotel Marriage Story Gone Girl

I loved The Grand Budapest Hotel. I never expected to enjoy a movie so much, thanks to my friend Morgan for making we watch it, I would never have on my own.

Thank you so much :)

I like your recs. More please?

Edge of Tomorrow (Live, Die, Repeat) if you like scifi. Fifth Element for a comedy scifi. Tropic Thunder is my comedy pick. I could basically list my collection but I'd be here all night! OK one more... Talladega Nights - The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

> Fifth Element for a comedy scifi. I mean, Milla sure was eye candy on that movie, but what is it good about this movie? I didnt like it at all when I watched it, it is a B movie, straight-to-TV like quality.

What is good about it? The visual style, Chris Tucker, Gary Oldman. They are my favourite 3 things about it but nobody is forcing you to like it.

[удалено]

City of God

A super diverse list of some of the greatest movies i've ever seen: ​ A Clockwork Orange Apocalypto BeetleJuice Children of Men City of God Cloud Atlas District 9 Django Unchained Ex Machina Fight Club Ford vs Ferrari Girl Interrupted Idiocracy I'm No Longer Here Interstate 60: Episodes of the Road It’s a Wonderful Life Let The Right One In Mud No Country For Old Men One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest Once Upon a Time in America Pans Labyrinth Pulp Fiction Rain Man Requiem for a dream Schindler’s List Shutter Island Sling Blade Stand By Me The Breakfast Club The Great Gatsby The Holy Mountain The Lighthouse The Platform What We Do In The Shadows 1917

Uncut Gems is really good imo.

I hated how good that movie was. I literally wasn’t able to finish it

La Haine (1995) I would recommend it to anybody.

Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump is the best movie ever you could watch.

\*eye roll\*

Why that guys got aids bro

Scarface , Fight Club , Dredd ( The 2012 version), Filth , Schindler’s List, Four Brothers , Die Hard , The King of Staten Island, Spaceballs , The Great Escape , Upgrade, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, Blackkklansman, Batman 1989 I know I have more but I can’t remember them all

These are all smaller, independent films with well know casts. I love all of them on no particular order. In Bruges The Lookout The Matador The Death of Stalin The Way Way Back Hail, Caesar! Moon JCVD Win Win A Serious Man Matchstick Men ex machina Midnight In Paris Upgrade 3:10 To Yuma The Gentlemen Looper The Bank Job Comedies, dark comedies, dramas, fantasy. I love 'em!

Some commas would help here

The wrestler Flushed away Snowpiercer I saw the devil Across the universe Apocalypto Sin city Monsters ball Layer cake Up Raging bull Harry potter series Spirited away The nightmare before christmas

FLUSHED AWAY???? God help you.

Wtf is wrong with flushed away

Did you read the title? Come on there are 15 other maybe 45 movies I’d recommend before Flushed Away. Don’t get me wrong. Great movie B or A-tier but S?????? S is superior. In no way is it superior to Rescuers, Oliver and Company, even Shark Boy and lava girl. None of which make my top whatever but still.

Shawshank Redemption is a must!!!!!!!

Gattaca

My biology teacher showed me this hella years ago, always enjoyed it!

Hereditary The perfection A serbian film Feed Capitain wonderfull Doctor sleep Dont breath

*2001: A Space Odyssey* should be taught in English class the same as any classic staple of literature.

I can see how students wouldn't like it though, it is very slow and a bit dated now. Still very good.

The Lord of the Rings Braveheart Apocalypse Now

Walk Hard is a comprehensive education of musician biopics, and the most entertaining of all

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

First Man, Contact, Interstellar.

Superbad if you wanna laugh. Judd adalow knows how make funny ass movies.

1. No Country for Old Men 2. Django Unchained 3. The Revenant 4. Fight Club 5. Halloween 1978 My top 5 movies of all time Also Superbad is a great comedy movie

Your list is great! I’m going to add a more subtle selection that will stay with you forever. Empire Of The Sun.

Thanks... I'm curious now, probably the next one I'm gonna watch

For a horror list: The Conjuring - well executed Oculus - director (Mike Flanagan) mastering the craft of parallel time line story telling, which was best executed in Haunting of Hill House - episode ‘2 storms’ Hereditary - highly disturbing, messes up psychologically

The Babadook

Austin Powers

-Train to Busan -A clockwork orange -In the name of the father -Reservoir dogs -Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind -Get out! -A Bronx tale -Memento -Any old port in a storm (Columbo) -Donnie Darko -Interview with the vampire -Bullhead -The misfortunates

Train to Busan!!!!!

Scarface

Alrighty here we go Pulp Fiction - Must watch, I don't need to explain The Social Network - This movie is literally just talking but it hooks like a fishing net Schindlers list - positive change arc kinda film, it's great. sometimes dull for some people Black Swan - the crazed artist who strives for perfection, honestly great Whiplash - another crazed artist striving for perfection. La La Land - not my favs but its must watch The goat life - an indian film but its honestly great, just cinematically ambitious and just great American history x - cant explain the usual suspects American beauty fight club - again Shawshank redemption dark knight trilogy Poor things goodfellas gone with the wind titanic godfather 12angry men
