Recommend Me Some Movies

[The Austin]

Hello There Escapist!

Well, I don't know about you, but today is the first day of spring break down here in Florida!

So cue Alice Cooper, because SCHOOOOOOOOOOOOLS! OUT. FOR. THE. [sub]spring[/sub].

Anyway, being the Anti-social cave-dwelling bastard that I am, instead of going out partying, I'm going to watch a bunch of movies!

Now, I consider myself a HUGE film geek. But unfortunately, due to the.... "Inconvenience" of my lazyness, and lack of awareness many classic movies have escaped me.

So! I need YOU, The Escapist, to give me some movies to watch. NOW GO!!!


GO NAO!! DO IT!!

Edit: By the way, I'm trying to get updated with all of the classics, I have only recently discovered my love of film.

[Skuffyshootster]

How about Brick?

It's the only one I could think of that hasn't been mentioned already. It's basically a noir movie set in modern day high school, but it's not nearly as cheesy as it sounds. I particularly like the cinematography.

You could also try IMDB's top 250 list.

V for Vendetta
Idiocracy
Blade Runner
2001: A Space Odyssey
