Reccommend me a movie!

[Swyftstar]

The Blues Brothers.
I once had a friend who said they never saw this movie. I never looked at them the same again.

In Bruges.

One of the greatest Black Comedies of recent years.

I love In Bruges its brilliant!

 

[coppah20HE]

Like the "Grand Theft Auto" series?
A fan of Michael Douglas?
Infuriated by petty annoyances?
A-holes at McDonalds won't sell you anything on the breakfast menu, even though it's only 11:35?

Then you'll love "Falling Down" one of my all-time favourite movies.

Hellboy, probably the most underrated comic-book movie in the modern age.

hated that movie could bearly sit through the whole thing the characters were just annoying cocky and the effects were cheesy and that fish guy reminded me of a mupet...

that being said go watch shawshank redemtion, The stand, Fight club,and if your going to watch scott pilgrim watch kick ass there not related but the effects and angles timing and story were all spot on for those and both are fantastic

You should check out The Prestige - early-ish Christopher Nolan. It's got David Bowie in it playing Nikola Tesla.

I was just thinking of that one when this thread popped up.

Two films that I feel have sort of slipped under the radar is Nolan's Insomnia, and Red Dragon. Both interesting stories about relatively sympathetic killers, and how they came to be.

but if you see red dragon you have to watch the silence of the lambs right after

Shoot Em Up

A really cheesy but awesome action movie...just look at the title...
aparently it inspired Saints Row 3...check it out.

You really need to eat your carrots, also OT LOtR.

 

[teutonicman]

BAM!

Liam Neeson is so awesome in this movie!

 

[Life_Is_A_Mess]

If you like anime, then "Spirited Away" is the way to go.
Eye-candy? "Avatar".
Old-fashion action? "Kill Bill".
Comedy? "Snatch".
Shooty-shooty? "The Rock".

That should keep you busy.

 

[Thundero13]

12 angry men & the shawhank redemption, however if you're trying to watch movies then you've probably already seen them so, for something more obscure, I can't think of anything, but watch watchmen aswell.

 

[Taham]

Alien(s), Preadator 1+2, District 9, the Bourne series, and Behind Enemy Lines. (Behind Enemy Lines is a true story) Also, the Shawshank Redemption and Invictus

 

[utopaline]

In Bruges.

One of the greatest Black Comedies of recent years.

AGREED!!!! +1 for that

now for my selections (I didn't read all the other posts so sorry for doubles.
1. I agree with Session 9, that movie was so amazing
2. Equilibrium for sure, the movie that god Bale the role of Batman
3. The Machinist, the movie that almost lost Bale the same role lol.
4. Green Mile/Shawshank Redemption (same original author and director)
5. Anything Christopher Nolan, Memento, is a good start
6. Stir of Echoes
7. True Romance if you haven't seen it
8. Man on Fire

that's all for now. hope this helps and good for you to try to open up to stuff you never would have watched.

[Les Awesome]

Shawshank Redemption , Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump
three of the greatest movies ever and they all came out the same year

 

[runnernda]

I agree with a lot of the movies on this list. Here are some of my additions:

Amelie
Lucky Number Slevin
The Untouchables
Spirited Away
Heavyweights
Hero
Any and all James Bond

 

[similar.squirrel]

Four Lions. It's a comedy about inept Jihadists, and it hits all the right buttons without being offensive. Unless you're easily offended or an Islamic extremist.

 

[idarkphoenixi]

Shawshank Redemption.

Can't go wrong.

Goddamn it, you had to get there before me.

 

[Jodan]

Dr. stangelove peter sellers greatest work
acctually watch anything by stanley kubrick

anything by stephen chow is hilarious

 

[Marowit]

Total Recall

It's such a great popcorn flick, and on top of that the story is actually pretty damn cool. It's by far my favorite Arnold movie, and movie to pop in on the weekends when I just want to have a a great time.

 

[Red_Serpent]

Here are some of my suggestions...

Land and Freedom (1995)
Impostor (2001)
Bulletproof Gangster (also known as 'Kill the Irishman')

 

[Get_A_Grip_]

Requiem for a Dream. If you have already seen it then watch it again. If you haven't watched it before make sure to approach it with an open mind as it is depressing and does not end on a happy note.

 

[ZodiacMaster101]

I would suggest going to go see Kung Fu Panda, mainly just because I find it to be a very awesome movie because of how Poe, the underdog, starts out being a fat panda that no one believes in, and then he overcomes his low self-esteem and proves everyone else wrong by becoming a great Kung Fu master.
