I'll accept Batman's voice as a legitimate complaint about the movie, but it honestly isn't that distracting, Bale still did a very good job as Bruce Wayne, and the movies are still excellent.jigaboon said:

Damn... apparently there are a lot of movies I need to see.
Guess it's time for a marathon.
Also, my family is trying to get me to see "Wargames," which I guess is another mut see.
You think Jackie Earl Haley, who is too old, too short, too slim built, ginger, balding and not handsome should have played batman/bruce wayne because he can do a growly voice...?jigaboon said:
I'm just gonna let that settle for a while longer...
Yeah, now you thought about it, it isn't such a great idea after all is it? He's a great actor but so wrong for this role in so many ways.
There are a few films that must be experienced at least once
The Godfather
Life is Beautiful
Schindler's List
The Matrix
Original Star Wars trilogy
Heat- The first meeting of Pacino and De Niro. Absolutely epic.
Those are all a given, but I wouldn't consider a lot of my other favorites must see. As much as I love The Lord of the Rings, it's not for everyone. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody except the one Tolkien fan who has been living in a cave for the past twenty years.

Not really focusing on what I think is great, but stuff that has given a lot to pop culture..
Any of the original Star Wars trilogy. These movies get referred to on a daily basis.
Any of the original Indy trilogy. Same as Star Wars, to a lesser extent.
Any James Bond movie. Again, same as Star Wars.
Pulp Fiction. Just pure greatness.
Casablanca. Sums up Hollywood of the 1940's. Also a great movie.
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly. The quintessential western.
Seven Samurai. Kurosawa's masterpiece. Also a good look at what was going on the other end of the world at the time.
Plan 9 From Outer Space. A So Bad it's Good cult movie.
Twilight movies. See above.

Where did i EVER say Jackie Earl Haley should play Batman?? I just said he pulls off the growl voice way better than Christian Bale. epic misunderstanding lol.
Because everyone's already covering the classics at many levels, I'll let my recent fanboyism shine through and say Kick-Ass. Seriously, that movie was awesome!
Also, anything by Miyazaki.

I think it is a crime against humanity if you haven't seen The Royal Tenenbaums or Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
As a side note, I've seen Fear and Loathing a lot and loved it every time. Then I saw it sober once and I haven't watched it since then. And I love Terry Gilliam as a director. I would recommend watching it after smoking a bowl or drinking heavily.

Speaking definitively, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Amazing movie and truly one that stays extremely important as time passes.
On a more personal note, There Will Be Blood. Yes, 15 minutes of no dialogue, a two-and-a-half hour runtime, and more dramatic than many moviegoers would like, but it's so incredible at drawing you in if you're willing to give it a shot. Plus, Daniel-Day Lewis, so he'll definitely be a large reason to see this.
It's not as well known or definitive, but that's why I continuously recommend it to friends who are huge movie fans that haven't seen it.

At least 4 Hong Kong chop-socky flicks, for sheer fun.
I can remember two I enjoyed: Tiger on the Beat and One Armed Boxer vs. The Flying Guillotine. Tiger on the Beat is enjoyable because (and I'm recommending the movie for this ONE scene) there is a point in the movie where two men fight with CHAINSAWS. Let me repeat that, for those of you who had not had your minds blown yet: Two men. Having a kung-fu fight. Using CHAINSAWS. And as for the latter movie, the premise is simply ridiculous, but in an amusing sense. The One Armed Boxer seeks revenge on The Flying Guillotine, a blind martial artist who wields the titular Flying Guillotine, a box which you encase a person's head in with a chain that you pull.
And then afterwards, Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. Movie will leave you in stitches.
