Some good choices here people, thanks.
The last 2 weeks out with mates has consisted of a game where they get a point for a film that I have seen. The one with the fewest points had to buy the beers.
Although I have actually seen The Green Mile, Seven and Shaving Ryans Privates, sorry Saving Private Ryan lol
Ski- I think I will have to watch this Requiem for a Dream film, sounds superb.
Some other ones to consider
"The Dollars Trilogy" - I refuse to believe you haven't seen at least one of these though
Spirited Away
Robocop
Mr Vampire
12 Angry Men
Wall E
Bladerunner
Platoon
The Thing (1982)
and Star Wars obviously
What did you think of 'Seven', Mr Reacher?
Sanctus Espiritus! Insanity is all around us...
Hmmm, I was always brought up never to accept gifts from strangers
In all seriousness, I may well watch it again, thanks. My wife wants to start me off with the likes of Shawshank Redemption and go from there. She gets frustrated that I have never watched the 80' stuff like "Big", "Teen Wolf" and "Ferris Buelers something or other"
Sideways (not for Merlot drinkers )
Sliding Doors
The Shining
Lost in Translation
The Big Lebowski (or pretty much anything with Jeff Bridges eg. K-Pax and The Fisher King)
For something a little older try Papillon or The Birdman of Alcatraz
You make me sound like some dodgy bloke on a street corner with a packet of sweets and a cheeky smile... I'm just in a great mood because I've just drunk four pints in my lunchbreak.
The Shawshank Redemption is a great film, one of the better Stephen King novels converted to film. 'Big', 'Teen Wolf' and 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' are rather cheesy, turn your brain off movies. They're the sort of movie you might refer to as 'hangover tv'.
Sanctus Espiritus! Insanity is all around us...
lollol
Funnily enough a few people have said that. It sounds like I had a bad upbringing when in reality I had a great childhood. I suppose I was too busy playing sports and did not have the attention span to watch films.
Also you are probably right in that there is no point watching 80's films now as they will be pretty crap, now that I am in my mid 30's. Other mates have said that also.
Don't be daft.
Like I said, watch each film on its own merit. Some have aged well, some haven't. It doesn't take away their qualities. Like when Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth. I saw this as a 7 year old and fell in love, while my brother hated it because it wasn't Jurassic Park.
Breakfast Club is a fine teen flick, with a superb soundtrack.
Donny Darko is a GREAT film set in the 80s. Well worth a watch and another with a great soundtrack.
Well starting next week, I aim to rectify all of this. 1 film a week approx so could take me a while.
Shawshank Redemption looks like being the 1st one.
saving private ryan, the life of brain, the shawshank redemption, pulp fiction, american history x.
all 5 in my opinion have changed the face of films, and film-making and are a reflection of humankind and the way we live. especially the life of brian.
A matter of life and death - Visually,the greatest film ive ever seen !
Big Lebowski. 'Mark it ******* zero Donny' !
Fear and loathing in las vegas. (watch when dwunk)
Tropic Thunder.
Heat.
