The Return of the Movie List

[JelloKZ]

My To-watch movie list is in its penultimate phase! It is up to you, denizens of the Escapist to aid me in my quest. Included on this very post are the unabridged contents of my Movie List. Read it, if you dare! (Seriously though, it's a long list. If you don't read it, I don't blame you.) If you do read it, should you notice any glaring omissions, I beseech thee, post! Post a suggested inclusion to my Movie List. Also, brave readers-of-the-List, if perchance a title instills in you such loathing or apathy that you believe no human should bear witness to it, post your misgivings about same film. Should you not read the list, simply name a few films you feel no one should miss.

Really though, it would be cool if you people would help me out again. Or for the first time, whichever it may be. But I digress; without further ado, the prototype Movie List.

[delet]

Holy mother of god... Just to tell you though, some of those movies are horrible, like Hancock.

Through my skimming of it, I notice the omission of:

Pan's Labyrinth
Donnie Darko
Real Time
Kung Fu Hustle

(Since you listed spirited away...Really, you should get your hands on just about all the Studio Ghibli films)
Akira
Paprika
Perfect Blue (If you want to test your insanity.)

 

[Squarez]

Holy Hell, that's a list, but using the trusty ctrl-F I can tell you that list is missing Network and The Shining.

 

[Flames66]

You seem to be missing Avatar (although I havn't seen it yet) and any Star Wars films.

 

[AvsJoe]

My list is longer! [/boasting]

Anyway, several of these are incredible. But some of them not so much. For instance Igor is bland, bland, bland. I can say the same thing about X-Men Origins, Semi-Pro, Back to the Future Part 3, and Death Race 2000. Also, if you want to watch Little Shop of Horrors, it's available for free on YouTube.

Akira
Paprika
Perfect Blue (If you want to test your insanity.)

We've got some real classics right here. Perfect Blue is incredible, in my top 10 for sure. And I can't say enough good things about he other 2 either.

 

[MellowFellow]

You seem to be missing Avatar (although I havn't seen it yet) and any Star Wars films.

This except for the avatar part, where are at least one of the original star wars trilogy?

 

[Tasachan]

You have two monty python movies - neither of which are the holy grail (both that you have are good ones, though!!) If you haven't seen it ADD IT TO THE LIST.

 

[Kryzantine]

City of God
Forrest Gump
The Green Mile
Saving Private Ryan
Training Day
The Bourne Identity
The Bourne Supremacy
Oceans Eleven (2001)
The Seventh Seal
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
The Deer Hunter
John Q
Goodfellas
Taxi Driver
There Will Be Blood

Good lord, there are a ton of movies missing from the list.

 

[Careless Ghost]

I would suggest the addition of:

Notorious(1946)
Ran
Stardust
Princess Mononoke
The Wicker Man(1973)

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

I noticed you have a lack of good suspensful horror movies...for shame

 

[DoctorNick]

Well, lets see...

I also recommend:

Chinatown
Dr. Strangelove Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying About And Love The Bomb
Willow
A Bridge Too Far
Metropolis
Coneheads
Forbidden Planet
Battleship Potemkin
The Bridge on the River Kwai
Tron
Dark City
The Mosquito Coast
Stardust
Mystery Men
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Clerks
Das Boot
Plesantville
Kill Bill Volumes 1 & 2
Freaks
The Right Stuff
The Never Ending Story
Time Bandits
The Great Escape
Fargo
Rushmore
Saving Private Ryan
Rainman
Pink Floyd: The Wall
Threads
The Silence of the Lambs
Outland
Outlander (Not same!)
The Day After
Flash Gordon
Paint Your Wagon
The Fifth Element
Rollerball (The Original Damnit!)
Event Horizon
Natural Born Killers
Dune
The Man With Two Brains
Falling Down
Mad Max: The Road Warrior
Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome
Flight of the Phoenix

...and fuck I came up with more movies than I thought I would.

So I'm spent now, but there you go.

 

[Acier]

True Stories. (An acquired taste, but is my personal favorite. Take it with a grain of salt however)
Raging Bull (An amazing boxing movie)
harold and Maude (Dark romantic comedy from the 70s, amazing)
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (moving French film based off the book)
Everything is Illuminated (Touching and funny, gets better every time I see it)
Devil's Backbone (same director as Pan's Labyrinth, and I actually prefer this one, good ghost story)

Are you using Netflix for this endeavor? Since they can save you list and what not and many are probably on instant. They can also provide further recommendations based on what you like, pretty useful for a movies snob

 

[Anticitizen_Two]

Dude, some of those movies really suck. Religulous was awful, as was pretty much any Harry Potter, as was Quantum of Solace.

 

[Cheery Lunatic]

Empire of the Sun.
Memento.
Iron Giant.
Waaatchhh theeemmm.

 

[Thamous]

Forest Gump
A boy and his dog
Philosophy of a knife(warning:very gory)
Yeah, I'm not really a big movie person.

[Pariah87]

Enemy at the Gates
Gladiator
The Butterfly Effect
Mothman Prophecies.

Do you not like horror movies because I'm noticing a real absence of my favourite genre.

Dawn of the Dead (Original)
Halloween (Both the original and Rob Zombies)
Leprechaun (Come on, it's laughable)

The Wedding Singer
The Waterboy (They both had me in stitches)

Bad Boys.

 

[JelloKZ]

Stardust

Which Stardust? I found two films by that title. When was it released?
