Movies to see before you die...

[Akalistos]

Simple enough, what are the movies you think everyone should see before they depart.
Can be for any reason, humor, sadness, touching moments, or just pure fun...

Ill start with Big Fish
Not a single part of it i didn't like.

I love Tim Burton's movie, but that's not the one i would pick. It will always be

Spoiler: could it be?

A Nightmare before Christmas.

I love the music, the setting, the character... everything you felt for big fish, i found that here.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Its cinematography is amazingly beautiful, the fight choreography is without equal, and the love story is possibly the most touching I've ever seen in a film.

2001: A Space Odyssey. Weird as all hell, and one of the most impenetrable films of all time, but it's worth seeing it because there is genuinely nothing else quite like it. Plus, it's one of the depressingly few films to truly embrace the fact that they're working in a visual medium.

Those are also good. In the same vein of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, there the seven samurai. This is a old story but it glue me to my seat, which is a feat of strength for a movie.

Requiem for a dream[footnote]Really? I'm the first to say it this...You should all be ashamed and go watch it NOW[/footnote] is a must, it's the kind of movie a lot of people won't like, but should still see.


American History X is another one that's probably worth watching, as it's moving.

Oh, and I think I agree with everyone who's said the Shawshank Redemption.

I can't really think of any others now, a lot of people are saying great films, like fight club, pulp fiction and the godfather, and while I liked (even loved?) those films, they aren't really going to change many peoples perspective or opinion on anything.
