*Insanely


Well, I recently discovered that Equilibrium is one of the better movies in existence. And I realized - how many other amazing movies are there that I haven't seen? And thus, I have started a list of films which I plan to see in the near future. Please make some suggestions of most excellent movies that I likely have not yet seen.

Current list:

Donnie Darko
Reservoir Dogs
Goodfellas
Alien
Hard Boiled

Added:
Pulp Fiction

Back to the Future, all three. (just finished watching the trilogy )

------------------
Do you have stairs in your house?

Pulp Fiction. Well, if you haven't seen some of the other must-sees on your list, you might not have seen it

------------------
"This hole is octogo. Ogiganeel. It's Octa.. It's got eight sides."
"Sam and Max Hit the Road-sign. The one saying 'Stop'."

It's on TV right now, taping it as we speak.

------------------
Fire Pretty - Graz's Armoury - (That's my blog...)

The Soviet Bunker - (That's my forum...)

"Thou shalt not steal. (Because the government doesn't like competition!)"

I too propose Pulp Fiction (despite Wolfy not liking it and thinking the dialouge to be "mediocre at best"

And yes, BTTF is great. I never get tired of watching it. Maybe the 3rd one gets a bit tiring. The first one is so good though.

------------------
"His Will Was Set, And Only Death Would Break It"

"None knows what the new day shall bring him"

Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Boondock Saints
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

------------------
"Why aren't I'm using at these pictures?" - Cloud, 4/14/02

Mean Streets (to be honest I think it's slightly overrated by critics and pales in comparions to the brilliance of GoodFellas, but it's still a great film)

Dr. Strangelove (you've probably seen it already, but if you haven't you should. One of the best films ever made)

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (yeah, it's pretty recent and you've probably seen it, but I'm amazed at the number of people I know who haven't seen it- brilliant film)

Pi (or: what Darren Aronofsky did before Requiem for a Dream. Cracking low-budget film)

Dark City (I'm not much of a fan of The Crow, but I loved this film from the same director (Alex Proyas), a bizarre mixture of film noir and science fiction. Mute it for the first 5-10 minutes- the studio-enforced voiceover answers questions too quickly)

DOA (great film noir from the 1950s with a slightly wacky premise- a man runs into a police station to report his own murder (he's been poisoned). The story gets overly complex and the twists go beyond absurd, but it's a fun ride. Apparantly there's a remake with Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan. I'd stick to the original.)

The King of Comedy (or: The Other Scorsese/De Niro film. Brilliant and disturbing drama/black comedy about an amateur comedian who becomes obsessed with a talk show host.)

Cookies for Michael and Haggis for Boondock Saints and Dark City. They're both awesome.

The Big Lebowski should be added to that list.

I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.

Hero.

I have found that you can transform your character solely by the power of belief: as you believe yourself to be, so you shall become over time.

I second.

Real Genius

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
:wq!

D'oh...should've remembered that; I watched it again the other day. Also worthy of praise is Fargo (which is superb film and, in my opinion, the best from the Coen Brothers) and O Brother Where Art Thou?.

Goonies!

------------------
"Honey, you got real ugly."

Scarface
Apocalypse Now
Star Wars Trilogy
Godfather

------------------

"Hey you guys!"

Scarface must be the most overrated film EVER made....and I own it, but that isn't the point.

"Judging by the name of the author, and the name of the work, I'd guess it's an energy "beam". You know, like in the Japanese cartoons where those guys with big hair fly around, talk philosophy, and shoot fireballs at each other." - Hellequin

Snatch
Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels

That is all.

------------------
Some of you should learn to think a bit and discover - *gasp* - that someone can dislike Michael Moore, Kerry, and Bush!

Maybe so but it's got a bunch of great catch phrases.

So many bad movies on this list...

So instead of correcting you all I propose Collateral (which I just got back form seeing). I also proppose we remove the Boondock Saints, as it sucks more than even Fight Club.

------------------
Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side

Forrest Gump is certainly "insanely good". Brilliant film.

Fight Club
Braveheart
Terminator 2
LotR & Star Wars trilogy

Can't think of any others right now.

To think that once I could not see beyond the veil of reality, to see those who dwell behind. I was once a fool.

WHAT. THE. ****.

And Tofu--Fight Club was amazing, I mean even my friend who hates every good movie imagineable loves it, and The Boondock Saints was a great movie, if not groundbreaking.
