I couldn't find a topic like this and a couple movie references have come up in MD lately that most people cheer and rant over while others are clueless about so I thought it'd be fun to have everyone throw out a few movies they think of as MUST see.

 

(mur asked for a big list)

The Princess Bride

The Fifth Element

The Usual Suspects

Spotlight,

a walk to remember,

  Pi (old b/w movie, weird but..interesting) 

- Interstellar (boring in first half , amazing outcome in the last)  -

The Devils Advocate (lovely opinion in the end)  -

V for Vendetta (bad movie, amazing idea) 

- Deja Vu (best action movie involving time travel) 

- The Cube (must see all 3, end of last explains the beginning of first),

'The Shawshank Redemption' however that's fairly well known   

  'Exam' messes with you a tad  

   'A Bronx Tale'   

  'Definitely, Maybe'  

   'Seven Pounds',

In pursuit of happyness :D 

: The dressmaker,

eXistenZ 

Eraserhead

  Spirited Away (animation),

The Giver (book still preferred, but movie works quite well)

Cypher/Brainstorm,

Inception

.Ocean's Eleven,

Spy is pretty good with Jude Law

Dragon Blade with Jack Chan. 

Gods of Egypt was good. DEADPOOL, -

A beautiful mind  - 300 (not because of the story but for the special effects and style) 

- Sweeny Todd (love the singing)

,Idiocracy,

Fight Club

  Legend 

Pulp Fiction,

The Rocky Horror Picture Show 

Big Fish 

The Count of Monte Cristo 

My Fair Lady

,Labyrinth

The Dark Crystal

I concur, sir, and would put 5th Element as my long-time #1 film  EVER.   

 

...and also add either Labyrinth or The Dark Crystal to the list of must-sees.    I quote Keyser Söze lines irl.  :P

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Big Fish

The Count of Monte Cristo

My Fair Lady

You have to deal with:
 

Fight Club

Legend

Pulp Fiction

 

Idiocracy

Best movie I have ever seen and I am 99% sure you have not seen it either :)

 

Mr. Nobody - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0485947/

The trailer is not bad, I will take a deeper look out for it, Sirix!

 

- A beautiful mind

- 300 (not because of the story but for the special effects and style)

- Sweeny Todd (love the singing)

Spy is pretty good with Jude Law and Dragon Blade with Jack Chan.  Gods of Egypt was good. DEADPOOL WAS EXCELLENT!

Ocean's Eleven

The Giver (book still preferred, but movie works quite well)
Cypher/Brainstorm
And of course Inception...see it twice :P

woaaa, now i am sorry i opened this post, i am dead now, i foresee the countless hours i will spend in front of the tv "preparing" to work :))) nice

 

- Pi (old b/w movie, weird but..interesting)

- Interstellar (boring in first half , amazing outcome in the last)

- The Devils Advocate (lovely opinion in the end)

- V for Vendetta (bad movie, amazing idea)

- Deja Vu (best action movie involving time travel)

and if you like calm murder mystery movies, try "Candlestick" (looks low budget and bad, but somehow i enjoyed it, good to sleep, good plot)

a walk to remember

LOL I have seen Pi, it is something special

DO NOT Miss Spotlight. won the oscars this year i think?

@klawdees, you freak, you are the first one i hear that knows about it, too special, fried my mind a bit...paatterrrnnsss...

would be great to have the first post edited into a list of all movies or somethign similar, its nice to have a centralized list of good movies to see :P

Then I am a freak too since I saw Pi as well a long time ago.

Tonight I saw The Room for the first time and it was definitely a fun and worthwhile experience that I would do again and recommend.

 

Two things to keep in mind when seeing this movie

• See it in a theater (trust me on this one)
• Bring a lot of plastic spoons (I swear I'm not joking, you seriously will regret not doing this)
