What are some good films i can watch?

[Henrik Larsson]

I'm looking for some good films to watch from any genre. I've only recently seen some big films that i should have seen ages ago i.e the shawshank redemption, the godfather, resevroir dogs, american beauty, american history x, requiem for a dream, city of god, the shining etc-just basically working my way through the top 250 on IMDB- can anyone suggest any others?

If you can find it Night of the Running Man (1995). There are parts that if you have a sick sense of humor, you'll like. It's a about a taxi driver who's passenger gets killed because he stole from the mob and he takes the money. Similar premise to No Country for Old Men.

For a comedy It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. I believe it came out in the sixties.

Taxi driver was good but IMO it had no real story line, just a guy trying to get a girl but then tries to save a prostitute, didnt really have much substance

You know I've always felt that way about that flick as well, but Deniro was a madman in that movie. I really enjoyed his performance although you are right - the storyline was somewhat weak.

There are only three movies you need to see:

Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs

Rebel Without A Cause

The Ten Commandments

The first one has cartoon animals, little horny men living in the woods, and an evil queen who wants to kill some girl.
The second one has a kid with f*cked-up parents who is trying to fit in with a new crowd, while trying to prevent the cops from killing his nutty friend.
The third one is about a baby floating in the Nile River, that gets adopted by a queen, becomes a prince, but then gives it all up so that he can find some magical tablets and lead his friends to freedom.
That's what life is all about. Horny midgets, poisoned apples, chickie runs, and Yul Brynner. No shit.

Naw...just playin'. Here's a link to some cool movies:

Bloodshot mentioned anything by Mark Walberg...I can't agree with that at all as I feel he's a toolbag. He also made Max Payne the movie which is sad.

The movie he's in that I did enjoy though was Shooter; I would recommend that for sure.

Wahlberg has had some legit performances. He's was pretty damn sharp in I Heart Huckabee's. I just like him because he's the same heritage as me - half Swede.

My opinion isn't fact and everyone likes or hates for their own valid reasons...I just happen to loath him most of the time.

It bothered me when he got mad about Andy Samberg's portrayal of him on SNL.

As far as movies I forgot to mention to my list

The Saint
Arsenic and Old Lace
The Producers -Original
Blazing Saddles

 

[JacknCoke]

I might catch some flack for this but:

The Fighter
