Dr. Strangelove
Punch Drunk Love (or any P.T. Anderson movie)
12 Angry Men
How has no one mentioned a single P.T. Anderson movie? He's the Stanley Kubrick of our generation! Punch Drunk Love, Magnolia, There Will Be Blood, Boogie Nights, and Hard Eight; all wonderful movies that deserve people's attention. Go see these movies NOW!
It really is difficult to pick just three movies. I mean I'm leaving out some of my favorite movies like Sidney Lumet's Dog Day Afternoon, recent favorites like Avatar, A Serious Man (should've won best picture), Inception, and even Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (which I saw just last night). There are horror movies like Cannibal Holocaust and Dawn of the Dead. Comedies along the lines of the Evil Dead Trilogy and Animal House. And of course Scorsese: The Departed, Taxi Driver, After Hours, and Raging Bull. We're missing anti-establishment landmarks like Easy Rider, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and Cool Hand Luke. Not to mention movies that have disconnected story lines and director styles like Pulp Fiction, Crash, Amores Perros, and Magnolia (P.T. Anderson again.) Cult favorites like the Monty Python movies, Videodrome, The Warriors, Donnie Darko, the recent Drag Me to Hell, and Dead Alive (the goriest movie of all time.)
Foreign films like Metropolis, Life is Beautiful, the Lives of Others, the Red Balloon, Elevator to the Gallows (very underrated), and Inglorious Basterds (that's right I consider a foreign film). Social commentary films like Brazil, To Kill A Mockingbird, A Clockwork Orange, Platoon, and Natural Born Killers.
Classics like Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The Godfather The Dirty Dozen, Citizen Kane, Serpico, Singin' in the Rain, Alien, Night of the Living Dead, and all of the Kubrick movies (The Killing, Paths of Glory, Dr. Strangelove, Barry Lyndon, Eyes Wide Shut, A Clockwork Orange, the Shining, Full Metal Jacket, Lolita, Spartacus, and 2001: A Space Odyssey). Action movies like Bullitt, DIe Hard, First Blood, Speed. Thrillers like The Sixth Sense, 12 Monkeys, Goodfellas, Falling Down, and anything by Alfred Hitchcock (who I haven't seen a lot of in this forum). And don't forget about animated movies from Disney, Pixar, and Studio Gibhli (Fantasia, Up, and Princess Mononoke respectively; also Fantastic Mr. Fox by Wes Anderson).
To keep it simple, it's difficult if not impossible to name just three movies.

Silence of the Lambs
My personal favourite moive of all time. Atmospheric pacing, brilliant acting, smart writing and the best horror villain I've ever seen. The devilish, cunning and savage Hannibal Lector is far more terrifying than any hockey mask wearing looney with a machete-and Lector is not even the main villain of the film.
The Green Mile
Not only is it the best Tom Hanks movie, but it has the greatest acting of any movie I've seen, unrivivaled character development and is the one movie that has made me cry. That only makes it hugley significant.
Predator
A breakthrough in special effects, Predator was a technological marvel for its time and is the only movie in the franchise where the Predators 'cloaking device' actually makes it difficult to see. It is also the only movie I've ever seen to bring in an army squad and have the audience care about each member. The disturbing design of the Predator, great action scenes and a Schwarzenneger performance you can take seriously, Predator is a must see.

For awesome cinematography and a dark feeling:
1. Inception
2. The Prestige
3. The Dark Knight
(yes, I am a bit of a Christopher Nolan fanboy)
For classic suspense and old-school cinematography:
1. Citizen Kane
2. Strangers on a Train
3. The Thirty-Nine Steps

lol in terms of length, attempts at being poetic, and nonsensical bullshit, MGS4 would be on the bottom par of the cheesiest, most poorly directed arthouse crap in some hipster's basement with a black and white 'vintage' camera.Saphatorael said:
