recommend five movies

[Beryl77]

Someone who has never seen a movie in his life, asks you to recommend him five movies. Now, which five movies would you tell him to watch?
It doesn't matter how old the movies are or what genre they're from. They just have to show him what good movies are.

 

[C95J]

Inglourious Basterds
Zombieland
Jurassic Park
Any of the Monty Python movies
A documentry like David Attenborough

This way, they have a wide variety of movies, and can get the best out of them

Just looking at whats within my view at the moment, in no particular order

1. Indiana Jones and the raiders of the lost ark
2. Star Wars Empire strikes back
3. Aliens
4. Pineapple Express
5. Terminator 2

 

[Daemascus]

Star Wars 4-6, Stargate, Avatar, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Casablanca
Avatar
The Dark Knight
V for Vendetta
Casino Royale (the new one)

Just some personal favourites, but they all have something to contribute to the medium and do it very well.

Batman Begins
Se7en
Scott Pilgrim Vs the World
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes back
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm

I found them to all be very enjoyable.

Recommend 5 good movies!

Anyhow Bladerunner, Lock stock and 2 smokin barrels, pulp fiction, Shaun of the dead, saving private Ryan.

 

[Serenegoose]

Aliens
Princess Bride
Dr Strangelove
Blade Runner
Inception.

I think that's a fairly good mix. A little action heavy maybe, but oh well, that's where my tastes lie.


And yay, 1,000th post! :O
