Escapist's List of Essential Movies

[Jharry5]

My list would include many said here, but...
Godfather (Parts 1 and 2)
Donnie Darko
Shaun of the Dead
Dawn of the Dead (original, please...)
Scarface
Die Hard
The Prestige
Rec
28 Days Later (much better than '28 Weeks', in my opinion)
Enter The Dragon.

That's all I can think of now, it's late...

Don't think City of God has been mentioned, or Fifth Element.

Both of those are must see films.

The Warriors
Dr. Strangelove
Citizen Kane
