What are your "must-watch" movies?
-
I'm not a huge movie fan, but I want to broaden my horizons a bit. I'll offer my list (that I've rewatched so many times I'm a bit tired of them):
-
Young Poisoner's Handbook
-
Full Metal Jacket
-
Life of Brian
-
Holy Grail
-
Sunset Boulevard
-
Curse of the Golden Flower
-
The Nightingale
-
Downfall
-
Amadeus
-
Once Were Warriors
-
Dusk to Dawn
I’d add Saving Private Ryan to the list.
The opening sequence is just abhorrent and showcases the reality of war far better than any other war movie I have seen.

Gah, I’ve tried to sit down and watch Flow on like 3 occasions. The lack of dialogue is a dealbreaker for my wife and kids. I got about halfway through it once and really enjoyed it!
Watch it alone at some point.
The lack of dialogue was one of the best things about Flow for me, after the cat, so much was 'said' without ever needing words and the acting of all the animals was captivatingly well done.

That’s the plan! I’m just never alone! Part of the problem is that I want to watch it all in one sitting, which is extra difficult.

️ Huckabees - Amadeus
- The Big Lebowski
- Princess Mononoke
- Spirited Away
- Red Line
- Summer Wars
- Evil Dead 2 *~
- Hellboy: The Crooked Man **
- John Wick 2 ***
*~ not a sequel, but a reimagining, if anyone's curious. No need to have seen the first to enjoy this.
** also not a sequel. By far the best live action piece to come out of this franchise. The only one worth watching tbh
*** direct sequel. They're all pretty good, but this one is, visually, as nice as the genre gets imo. The choreography and cinematography, both, are simply beautiful.
Edit: Fargo and Akira belong on this list too

Ngl, that sounds exhausting to never have time to yourself.

Flow - if you like cats and beautiful animation.
Dave Made A Maze - is a fun watch with good writing.
Death Of Stalin - will be funny to you if you like British comedy.
Prospect - interesting scifi with Pedro Pascal (who I mistook for Nathan Fillion till I looked the cast up, lmao)
Triangle - well done time travel fuckery
Arq - more time travel fuckery
Primer - yet more time travel fuckery
Edit: pretty sure the title of the post has changed, or I somehow just didn't notice it fully before? Idk, none of the movies I've listed are 'must watch' they're just fun watches. I don't think any film is really a must watch.

Yah, OP seems to like war movies, so I'd add:
- A Bridge Too Far - a classic, tho kinda old-fashioned moviemaking
- Apocalypse Now - another classic, still seems fresh
- Waterloo - the only good movie about Napoleon
- 1917 - some really amazing camerawork

Ones I have not seen in other comments, although you probably have enough at this point:
- The Fifth Element - Yes I know the director is a sexual predator, it's still really really good. One of the most creative movies ever made
- Run Lola Run - Surreal modern-style impossible narrative movie from way before movies really did that, also very well done
- O Brother Where Art Thou - Damn, we're in a tight spot
- Schindler's List - Warning, very very very heavy obviously, but there is a reason it won all the awards
- Conan the Barbarian - You may or may not like B movies, but if you like "Sword and Sandal" B movies, this one is the king
- The Sting - Absolutely top-notch gangster movie from before your parents were born
- Office Space - If you have ever worked a crappy tech job this movie will become your spirit animal in time of need
I've also heard great things about "Highlander." Don't watch the sequels.
There are also miniseries. "Stranger Things" season 1, "Chernobyl," and "Game of Thrones" up until about season 5. Yeah, it's a shame they never made any more after that, but you can just let it be. You'll know roughly when. If the three female assassins from Dorne come on the screen, you went too far, just turn it off immediately and be sure to take a shower right away.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I usually stay up and read books late at night or game. Just not usually movies.
Edit: Young kids in sports just suck up a significant amount of time.
