What are your "must-watch" movies?
-
Memento is shockingly left off most lists. Idk why it isn’t remembered as one of the best films of its decade.
You see, most movie critics have this condition...
-
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
wrote last edited by [email protected]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.

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!

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.

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.

- Pulp Fiction
- Kill Bill (both volumes)
- The Princess Bride
- Everything Everywhere All at Once

- Secondhand Lions
- I
️ 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.

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
