Do you mean "must watch" in the sense that everyone should watch them at least once? Or movies that you should feel compelled to watch every time it's on?

ParanoidObsessive posted... Do you mean "must watch" in the sense that everyone should watch them at least once? Or movies that you should feel compelled to watch every time it's on?I meant movies everyone should see once. I have already seen The Shawshank Redemption, and it is indeed a fantastic movie. I've never seen Tombstone, and honestly don't think I've ever really watched a "real" western movie - my only foray into the genre has been Wild West staring Will Smith (lol) and the Hateful Eight seems to count as a western movie. I should add "The Good, the bad and the ugly" to the list. Falgos posted... Whatever you enjoy.I want to expand my circle a little bit. LaggnFragnLarry posted... starship troopers and the unrated version of wild thingsI will add both to the list. I might start "Wild Things" now. --- . ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ok, I finished Wild Things (I had a small interruption). That was probably one of the cheesiest movies I've seen in a while, lol. Lots of "twists", like a soap opera. It would have been better if the movie maybe only had one twist and explored it more. Such a "nineties" film. I will say that I was entertained pretty much the whole time. And Denise Richards...holy smokes 6/10 - above average. --- . ... Copied to Clipboard!

BADoglick posted... PredatorI've seen the Terminator maybe once as a kid, but barely remember any of it. I've seen T2 so many times it's ridiculous, lol.

The princess brideLast summer I watched both Alien movies, and wow, they were fantastic. Two totally different types of movies, both equaling amazing to me. I've seen The princess Bride a couple of times and really liked the movie. I haven't seen the rest and will had them to the list. OhhhJa posted...

Salrite posted... This topic is interesting because you get to see the kind of movies people find importantto be fair Im not really sure how fun most of my list is. The wild robot and the iron giant are probably the most lighthearted of the bunch. Persepolis - a coming of age story of a girl growing up in the aftermath of the Iranian revolution. Funan - a woman searches for her son after they are separated in the khamer rouge revolution. approved for adoption - the story of an orphan of the Korean War getting adopted by a western family and his struggles with growing up straddling the two cultures. grave of the fireflies - a pair of siblings struggling to survive in the war ravaged Japan. when the wind blows - an elderly English couple try to maintain a normal life in the aftermath of a nearby nuclear strike. barefoot gen - a young Japanese boy tries his best to find a life in the aftermath of the nuclear bomb on Hiroshima. Extremely graphic depictions of the bomb. The day of the crows - a near feral boy raised by his tyrant of a father in a haunted forest must leave the forest to find help for his father and meats a girl named Manon. the breadwinner - a young girl living under taliban rule must disguise herself as a boy in order to provide for her family after her fathers arrest. the iron giant - a boy living in Cold War America finds a giant killer robot with no interest in killing. Ethel and ernest - a biography of two normal people meeting, falling in love, getting married, and growing old together set in London from the 1920s to 1970s the wild robot - a displaced robot tries to find its purpose on an uninhabited island as it finds there is more to it than what it was programmed. --- I am awesome and so are you.
