What, in yr opinion, are some movies that one must see in their life? Just compile a list and give a brief explanation for each or some if you like. I feel this is an interesting and enlightening experiment. You can learn alot about a person by their taste in art, movies being a prime example of such.

My list
1. Casablanca-needs no explanation
2. Citizen Kane
3. A Clockwork Orange
4. Annie Hall
5. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly-Leone was a master
6. 2001: A Space Odyssey
7. Amadeus
8. Psycho
9. Seven Year Itch
10. Shawshank Redemption
11. Forrest Gump
12. Platoon
13. National Lampoon's Vacation
14. Trainspotting
15. Caddyshack
16. Raiders of the Lost Ark
17. Ben-Hur
18. The Maltese Falcon
19. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory-a personal favorite that I refuse to buy because I enjoy watching it on TV late at night when I find that its on
20. Goodfellas

That's my short list. I might expand it to 50 later. Looking forward to seeing everyone else's take on this.

I am going to keep checkinh to this thread. I've gotten really into movies and shit lately. I probably did not watch any movies for like 10 years. I gotta catch up on the good shit!

The only one I can think of right now is Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. I just bought it today at a flea market.

Yeah, I came across Trainspotting in a similar manner. $8 in a used movie store.

Mullholland Drive, and after watching that movie your only wish will really just be death, fast and without any mental pain, please. So looked and felt my pants afterwards.

And Platoon. My essay on Platoon was longer than it should have been. But I've seen that movie hundreds of times. That is the price I pay for being a rabid Willem Dafoe fan.

I'll second that. Mullholland Drive is the movie you have to watch before you die, as you'll spend the rest of yr life wondering what the f*ck it's all about, as well as wondering why you've spent 5$ at bluckbuster for something harder to solve than a rubik's cube.

That's a great movie. It was that film that got me into Creedence Clearwater Revival, too.

My 10 favourite films of the past 20 years (stops it being a ludicrously long and time-consuming list):

Pi
Noi Albinoi
What to do in Case of Fire
Withnail and I
Dog Soldiers
Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking BArrels
Versus
And the Wind Will Carry Us
Real Fiction

you should (if you are into crude comedy) check out Anchorman (where my signature comes from). Rashomon is also a good choice.

Yeah, I watched it two weeks ago for the first time. Fucking amazing. Jim Carey used to annoy me, but he does a hell of a job in it.

I just rented Eraserhead, so this should be fun.

I'm not much of a movie fanatic and don't care about most of the classics, but before I die I want to see as many Takashi Miike films as possible.
Today I saw his short film Box, it was ok.
