A catalogue of must see movies.

Please place each movie title at the start of a new line... making it bold would be a good idea, but not if its too fiddly.


Alien
Aliens
Raiders of The Lost Ark
Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom
Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade
Misery - an adaptation of a Stephen King novel
 
I agree with the Indiana Jones movies....Other ones are good too, but definitely Indiana Jones..

I will also say:

* National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (After * Thanksgiving dinner with family. It's tradition.)
* The Never Ending Story
* Willow
* (And every young girl should see) Ever After
* The Mist

A lot more, but I have to think about it. I haven't watched a lot of movies lately.

I loved Donnie Darko and liked Millers Crossing.

Some day I hope to figure out what I think about 80s kitsch novelty movies like Top Gun, Cocktail, Road House, Footloose, etc. A part of me loves them for being so wonderfully odd and original, and the other hates that they're so insubstantial and (seemingly) have little-to-nothing to offer us.

To me they're like a cat owner driving his cat up the wall with a laser pointer. It's a manipulative action designed to appeal to our most base senses in an inexpensive and shallow way.

That is what makes them fun though. Hmm. I will never figure this out.

I haven't seen the documentaries, will look into them :)
 
so many things to see.. so little time...

Lol my son once bought a laser pen, I had to take it off him, before our cat figured it out, and killed him.

I could also suggest Silver Linings Playbook or Hector and the Search for Happiness. Maybe scratch my documentary suggestions. They might be a bit dull.

Any movie, book, etc It's just personal taste. I liked Anchorman with Will Ferrell. My ex hated films like that. But then she would also complain she was depressed.

To me life has a lighter side. If you only watch films like Schindlers list, I think depression is inevitable. Good though it was.
 
The Thirteenth Floor
The Keep
The Thing
Star Wars
The Empire Strikes Back
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Caddieshack
Happy Gilmore

List potentially to be increased over time.

I saw Get Out recently which was written and directed by Jordan Peele (of the show Key and Peele) and it was the most intense emotional roller coaster and social commentary/satire I've seen in a while.

Highly recommended to horror fans.
 
My stock answer for must see movie is still The Sting starring Redford and Newman.

It will always be in my mind... The original heist/conman movie.

Plus... Pineapple Rag... Solace... The Entertainer.... Nough said!
