Recomendations on Must See Film's

[Chromatic Aberration]

One name: Stanley Kubrick. Go and watch his films. Everyone is awesome in its own regard.

I especially recommend A Clockwork Orange .
The cinematography, visual style and overall atmosphere are just art - pure and simple.

Also if you want something surreal to wrap your head around I recommend Mulholland Drive by David Lynch. A real good Mind fuck that leaves you with a feeling of utter and complete confusion.

Now if you also like to look over the rim and try out some Animes, there are two that I can recommend for being visually stunning and deep at the same time: Serial Experiments Lain and Paranoia Agent . Both are incredible mind fucks. Paranoia Agent is reminiscent of David Lynch but tries to explain a lot more and wraps up its storyline. Still that series is full of social criticism and I highly recommend watching it. As for Serial Experiments Lain the visuals are full of symbols and you can spend years trying to analyze all its symbolism. It also features a wide variety of art-styles. Recommended for its visuals alone.

Try "Amelie." Personally I found the cinematography to be great. It's french, but you can always watch it with subs.

If you're looking for good visuals, and don't mind anime, I have to reccomend Fooly Cooly (it's a 6-episode miniseries, but it's basically a 2.5 hour movie). The animation and visual style is unique and brilliant, and the writing is simply genius.

I'd have to say this is a must see movie. Just came out too.

Pretty much anything by Uwe Boll is absolutely amazing.

*Watches in wonder as the wrath of the entire Escapist userbase crashes down upon me*

...Also, I absolutely loooooooove Shoot 'Em Up and In Bruges. Shoot 'Em Up shows you how to really nail the... erm... shoot 'em up genre... and it does so with a shitload of style, humour and an entertaining story to boot.

In Bruges is a dark comedy, and only just beats out Four Lions and the ENGLISH Death At A Funeral for top spot, as it has probably the least appropriate humour I've ever seen in a (non-Uwe Boll) movie, and on top of that has a damn good ending that relates back to a whole lot of stuff that has been said and alluded to throughout the film.

Actual Must-See films?

Apocalypse Now, Lawrence of Arabia, The Dollars Trilogy, Unforgiven, The Godfather parts 1+2, Pulp Fiction, Psycho, The Shining, Three Colours Trilogy, Dr. Strangelove. These are the main films I'd consider "must see".

I'd also reccomend the following but they're far more subjective or based on my personal tastes: Brazil, A Clockwork Orange, Once Upon a Time in the West, Blade Runner, Mulholland Drive, Kill Bill, Trainspotting, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Gran Torino, Life of Brian, Barton Fink, Oldboy. I could probably think of more but that should be enough.

I would say Oldboy and Let The Right One In. But I say that to everyone, so yeah. I would recommend more but others and recommended them already! Moon is great too, go see it!

Ink (2009). Low budget, unknown actors, never shown in theatres.

Awesome photography, great acting, incredible story and one of the best soundtracks out there.

Go see it.

Alien
Aliens
Predator
District 9
The Decent (A great indie horror film possibly the best in the last few years)

Don't do that, don't mess with Kurosawa like that.

Why thank you, His name was bothering for a while, every time I say Akira I always end up mentioning yamaoka the composer...
I'm really sorry if I bastardized it a little but really, Kurosawa was brilliant director, not only expansive in his themes, but also hinted at sympathy towards the people of japan and their plights.

Seriously, anyone interested in watching a great movie, go buy Kurosawa flicks
