10 Movies to See Before You Die

[regulus]

Thought I'd make this thread since I'm dying to see a good, well constructed movie again, and hoping to find some ideas here.
The type that leaves you thinking days afterwards.

Mine is (just incase you're in the same boat)

1. Glengarry Glen Ross
2. Lilya Forever
3. The Breakfast Club
4. Life is Beautiful
5. Pulp Fiction
6. Chocolat
7 Platoon
8. All the Rocky movies
9. a Walk to Remember (you'll be surprised how good this teenie love story is)
10. The Lost Boys

Any other "must see" movies?

Am goona have to cheat a bit here


1 Godfather Trilogy
2 Starwars Collection
3. Rocky Collection
4 Scarface
5 Goodfellas
6 The Shawshank Redemption
7 Gangs of New York
8 Fight Club
9 Ben Hur
10 The Wizard of Oz

I've never seen the Godfather or any of it's sequels. I'll pick it up today

I'd agree with you if this was a 'post your favourite 10 films' thread, but it's not. This thread is about films you should see before you die, and as such i cant even come up with a list of 10, barely a couple in fact. As enjoyable as The F&F may be, even the guy that posted them should realise they're not 'welcome' in this thread. I watched Snatch the other day, the first time in a long while, and that confirmed it as one of my favourite films. I'd never dream of putting it in a list like this though.

I'm surprised you can't come up with 10. Surely you've seen some movies that had a bigger impact on you than most movies? Someone recommended "In America" to me last night. I watched it this afternoon and my life was better and more happy today because of seeing such a great and uplifting flick. That's what I'm, and perhaps most of us, are after.

this is actually too hard to do

Then name just one that touched your heart strings in anyway.

 

[regulus]

No order :

• Tsotsi
• City Of God
• Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas
• Contact
• Amelie
• Dr. Strangelove : Or How I Learnt To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb
• Casino
• Kelly's Heroes
• Touching The Void
• Saving Private Ryan

Good list there, although you might get some stick over Contact

Edit:

I knew it!!

My brain only read this at first, phew, glad you're not dieing.

Why thank you kind sir. Now if I can just convince my missus the same after my red wine spill last night

only just started reading this so i want to think about the answer. but some of the replies have been total shockers. i mean starwars ??? i'm a big fan and while it is a talking point and fun to watch i'd hardly call it something i'd be "think ing about" in a what went on way.

off the top of my head the usual suspects would be in my list. had to watch the a couple of times to work out exactly what was going on. i didn't realise when chas whatever his name is looking at the photo id board he was going over the case on his head until second viewing.

lot of stuff going on in that film that i was thinking about for a long time

Lol. Cool. What I also meant was a movie that inspire you or touch you in a good way (and I think you know that ). Example. Lilya Forever made me want to do something about human trafficking. GlenGarry Glen Ross made me work harder since I didn't want to end up like Levine, old and struggling.

etc

That's actually a good cast.

Ordered.
