What are your "must-watch" movies?

[steeznson@lemmy.world]

It's definitely underrated due to a Seinfeld Effect like phenomenon where everyone feels like they've seen it - even when they haven't.

• No country for old men

Anything with Daniel Day-Lewis really. Or nothing by Aaron Sorkin. If bored and wanting to watch something familiar I like the Bourne (Jason) films.

There's a director's cut like version of Alien 3 that fixes many of the issues (and unfortunately creates a few new ones)

Heist (2001)

Just saw this today, it was pretty great.

As for me, Groundhog Day, every year, on the day. I can rarely stay awake through the whole thing but I won't let that stop me.

[kspvhmtolwvmd7y7e@lemmy.world]

Sicario is some quality action movie. Insanely good

[dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de]

Yeah it really is. Denis Villeneuve Is great.

I’ve updated my list now I’m home and can access my media server. If you’re interested in any you’ve not seen.

[hossenfeffer@feddit.uk]

Fucking autoincorrect (or lack of sleep but I'm going to blaim the computer, of course)! Thank you and I shall correct forthwith!

Snatch

And watching Napoleon Dynamite with a 10-12 year old is HILARIOUS.

[lorindol@sopuli.xyz]

Now this is a good list.

[kelpie_returns@lemmy.world]

It is truly an underrated classic! The only complaint I have about it is the presence of Wahlberg, but even he aced his role if I'm being totally honest. The entire cast utterly slays it, really. And that's not even getting into the stellar themes, writing, and transcendental message! Easily one of my favorites of its genre and era

[darklamer@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I have watched this movie several times over the years, but I recently watched the 4K UHD Blu-Ray release of the 2012 50th anniversary digital restoration and it feels like this was the first time I truly saw the full greatness of this movie — until now I had always regarded it as a truly great movie, one of the great classics, but seeing it like this now finally made me see why so many of the greatest filmmakers who came after it are obsessed with it.

[kelpie_returns@lemmy.world]

I was hesitant about adding Blue Velvet to my list because it's so...'difficult', let's say. Lynch knocked it out of the park (as usual), but it's just so deeply unsettling on so many interesting levels. Thinking about it tho, that might be exactly why I should have added it. Eh. Either way, great picks!

And please continue making edits lol. You've got good taste and I plan on checking this thread over the the next couple days just to compare notes/see what I want to watch next.

[kelpie_returns@lemmy.world]

It reads more and more like a relic of its time, but it's still just such a damn good watch. You speak truth

[kelpie_returns@lemmy.world]

Why would you post a dead link? Pacific Rim does not have any sequels. Pacific Rim has never had any sequels. As it should be.

[iamthetot@sh.itjust.works]

It's a case of having to separate the artist from the art, for me. David O. Russell is also not a very nice person but I don't let it ruin the movie for me; it's so good.

[acefuzzlord@lemmy.zip]

I'm more into just about anything animated, so my list is absolutely biased against most any live action film:

• Prince of Egypt ( Pixar's last good film before they started flying off a cliff, in my opinion )

• An American Tail ( Fivek Goes West as well, but the first one is definitely better )

• The Land Before Time ( specifically movies 1 & 5 since they're my favorites of the overdone franchise )

• Secret of NIMH

I can't think of any others off the top of my head that aren't your standard 1970s animated Robin Hood ( the dosney one ) or Zootopia, but I can't say I'd put them up there despite how much I adore those movies.

[billwashere@lemmy.world]

Add Shawshank Redemption to this list and it would basically be my list.
