edited March 2012 in All Encompassing Trip
I've recently been on a movie kick. I've been trying to watch some movies that I've never seen and that were rank pretty high on lists of great movies.

Just recently watched:

Full Metal Jacket
Trainspotting
Hot Fuzz
Shaun of the Dead
Chinatown
Really enjoyed all of these, some more then others of course.

On my list of next so far are:

2011: A Space Odyssey
Mad Max: Road Warrior

So I was just curious of your opinions on some great movies that you would recommend as something everyone should see.

    i watched trust (produced/directed by david schwimmer) the other night and it rocked me. every teenage girl should see this movie.

    one of the most fucked up movies i've seen in a long time.

    i am never having kids.

  • musicismylife78musicismylife78 Posts: 6,116
    theres too many to pick out a few. when i was really getting into movies, i was turned onto stuff like Old Boy, Happiness, You me and Everyone We Know, the last 3 David Lynch films.

    I also went through each famous actor. Watched all of deniros films. then streeps. then pacinos. then sean penns. then jack nicholsons. then daniel day lewis etc... The went for directors.

    went then for festival winners. what won cannes, and sundance and Independent Spirit awards each year and saw those.
