Just watched Scarface for the first time last night after everyone said it was a top film. Cant believe I missed out and waited so long to see it. Can anyone recommend any other classics I may of missed out on? I think the next one to watch will be Godfather.
Nosferatu, starring Max Schreck, 1922. Doesn't get more classic than those films. Also, try the Lost World, based on Arthur Conan Doyle's book, 1925. Then again, you might not like black-and-white silent movies like I do ^_^
Space Oddysey, Full Metal Jacket, The Clockwork Orange, The Hunger(amazing movie, get it now!) those are my proposals for now. Let me know what u think!
Raising Arizona, The Princess Bride, Blade Runner, Deer Hunter, Shawshank Redemption, Heat, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, another vote for Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Memento, and I might get caned for this, but the original Die Hard is pretty much my favorite action movie ever. Just to name a few
if we`re doing Kubrick, you have to see the 1950`s Lolita and Dr Strangelove. Also Apocalypse now, Taxi Driver, Mean Streets, Dog Day Afternoon, Serpico, The Deer Hunter. Just realised GP beat me to it with a couple of these, so make sure you see them. Got to see Blade Runner if you havent seen it, make sure its the directors cut not the theatrical cut.
Blood simple(coen's first film, same guys who did raising arizona, big labowski, fargo, etc), 5 easy pieces, hoffa, one flew over the cookoos nest, thx1138, american graffiti, french connection, dog day afternoon I 2nd, first dirty hairy, 48 hours, 1st blues brothers, Goodfellas, Casino, Barton Fink, Jaws, Heavy Metal, American Pop, Chinatown, The Graduate. I could list way more but it would take too long. As you can tell I am a film buff.
there are some great ones there i would also like to add Day of the Jackal (was remade poorly as The Jackal) and Get Carter (Caine NOT Stallone)
If you' re into westerns, also try The Good , the Bad and the Ugly. It displayes the Wild West in a wilder than usual way, and the Man with no Name seems to carry his own sense of justice, unlike other westerns . ie he WILL play dirty
I'm not sure what you like or have seen so I'll just list away in no perticular order. Already recomended classics Full Metal Jacket Heat Die Hard The Breakfast Club Groundhog Day Shawshank Redemption Newly Recomended classics Dr. Strangelove Paths to Glory Stand by Me Se7en The Usual Suspects The Way of the Gun the Warriors Donnie Darko Escape from New York The Thing Aliens Predator Apocalypse Now Goodfellas Casino O Brother Where are Thou Saving Private Ryan A Bronx Tale True Romance Dazed and Confused Plenty more but these are off the top of my head.
judging from your lists guys, i think you ve all missed The Hunger. Get it or else! PS: I m also a big fan of the very first Hellraiser, by Clive Barker An american werewolf in london is nice as well ^_^
Final Cut comes out later this year. Additions Planes, Trains, and Automobiles Sixth Sense Big Trouble in Little China Yeah, those are great (from other lists) True Romance Dazed and Confused
It's hard to define classic... Rear Window, 1954 The Killers, 1946 If you like WWI aircrafts, The Blue Max and Aces High. If you prefer submarine, don't miss Das Boot. A bunch of good french and belgian production: Le grand bleu (The big blue) Leon Nikita (the original, not the US remake) 2 movies with Albert Dupontel: Bernie Enfermés dehors (Locked Out) 3 movies with Benoît Poelvoorde: C'est arrivé près de chez vous (Man bites dog) Narco (The Secret Adventures of Gustave Klopp) Podium
There are just so many incredible movies you should and have to see. Here are some of the best I have ever seen, but there are MANY more: Citizen Cane One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest Cape Fear China Town The Devil's Advocate Donnnie Brasco The Merchant of Venice (Al Pacino version) Dog Day Afternoon Carlito's Way The Night of the Living Dead The Shining (Jack Nicholson version) The Bridge Over the River Kwai Bullet The Lavender Hill Mob The Great Escape 2001: A Space Odyssey Casino Rosemary's Baby Mystic River Stand By Me The Hudsucker Proxy High Fidelity The Running Man Total Recall Double Indemnity Fist of Fury The Drunken Master Enter The Dragon Invasion of the Body Snatchers (the version with Donald Sutherland in) Don't Look Now Lawrence of Arabia Menace To Society Platoon Hamburger Hill The Unforgiven Tombstone The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Million Dollar Baby LA Confidential The Untouchables To Kill A Mocking Bird Ocean's Eleven (The original movie, not the remake) The Italian Job Taxi Driver Spartacus Ben Hur The Goonies Any Hitchcock movie but especially Psycho, Rear Window, Strangers on a Train, North by Northwest, Vertigo, Notorious A Street Car Named Desire About Schmidt Easy Rider Apocalypse Now (Redux is best but a lot longer) Dirty Harry A Fistful of Dollars Clerks Schindler's List The Usual Suspects The Silence of the Lambs Casablanca Great Expectations Raging Bull Bladerunner It all depends on what you like, but that list covers pretty much all genres. My best suggestion is that you go by eras, since each decade has a very definite stylistic distinction for the most part.
Taucias, you mention 2 out of 3 movies from the Dollars "loose" trilogy. Is the omission deliberate? If you want to see them in order however.. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is first although shot last then it's For a Fistful of dollars and finally For a Few More Dollars
some awesome movies: --------------------- They Live Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood Evil Dead 1,2,3 Dark City Cube zero, 1, hypercube Cannibal! the Musical The City Of Lost Children Shaun Of The Dead Picassos Äventyr / The Adventures of Picasso (swedish movie, I've heard there is a version with subtitles for non swedish speaking). Pan's Labyrinth Delicatessen Metropolis 2001 - A Space Odyssey 2010 - The Year We Make Contact Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
