I think Silent Running would make my wife's list. She fucking loves that movie. If I want to get her to watch something, all I have to do is say that something in it is like Silent Running.

 

[LoneSage]

what's up with people posting shit like Star Wars and then saying (original trilogy) or something.

No you can not count three movies as one. Why do people think this is acceptable.

The only thing acceptable would be Kill Bill, since I consider both volumes to be one movie, just sliced in half.

It would probably take me a whole day to separate just ten from the pack. So many wonderful foreign and indie gems that evolve filmmaking, so many rewatchable American classics, it would just be a massive undertaking. I'll just throw out the Top 5 I can think of that are simply just entertaining and are my most rewatchable movies. Which means they probably aren't as deep as my favorite "best" movies.

1) Borat - a comedy that always makes me laugh no matter how many times I rewatch it, and the most intelligent mainstream comedy I've seen

2) Dawn of the Dead - the remake, not as powerful as the original in its content, but much more entertaining

3) Apocalypto - visceral and beautiful in its imagery, the best Blu-Ray to show people for visual effect

4) Shawshank Redemption - when you can pop in a movie at any time whatsoever, watch it in the background and know exactly whats going on, that's a Top 5 right there

5) Casino - easy way to round out the list with the best mobster movie out there

 

[Ajax]

No order, list changes:

The Social Network
Garden State
No Country for Old Men
The Royal Tenenbaums
Ghost World
V for Vendetta
Rocky
13 Assassins
The Godfather
Dreams

These have been listed because they stayed with me for one reason or another. One scene or one piece of dialogue from each of these will forever remain in my mind.

Yep, I've always thought "Casio" blows "Goodfellas" out of the fucking water. I'm a big Scorsese fan, but "Goodfellas" is actually one of my LEAST favorite movies directed by him.

Dr. Strangelove
Up
Ran
High and Low
The Fisher King
The Great Dictator
The Empire Strikes Back
Life of Brian
Raiders of the Lost Ark
