In that case let's all go watch Stealth.
In Burge. Saw it the other day and it was pretty good.
people are acting like the thread title is "greatest movies ever"
its must see movies, whether bad or not there are reasons you have to see it
The Blues Brothers, if it doesn't put a smile on your face then there is something wrong with you.
Die Hard, this has to be one of the most influencial action movies ever made and still makes an excellent watch.
I know some have said it, but Saving Private Ryan, if for no other reason than the opening 30-60 minutes or however long the landing scenes are, I have yet to see anything that has captured the madness, insanity and horror of war like this film did.
LOTR. They really took CGI to the next level and showed that a fantasy film could be both a commercial and critical success, like it or not this was an important trilogy.
Dark Knight
Transformers
both solid solid movies
Dark Knight in my opinion is a pretty solid movie and should be on the list because, at least in my opinion it is an example of a superhero movie done really well, probably the best example.
I don't think that means it 'must be seen'.
Well, if you are a fan of a particular genre, or are interested in experiencing a particular genre, each will have its gems. Dark Knight is a gem in its genre, so that is a good reason to add it to the list. I mean you could say "it doesnt mean it must be seen" to all movies, no movie must be seen, you can get through life without ever seeing them. I think that is a poor way to look at it and if you think that way you should leave this thread, this is for people who like movies, giving strong reccomendations to movies they feel are essential to movie fans, at least that is my reading of it and I think that is a fair description.
zoolander.
I didn't really like Club Dread as much as the other two
Movies that epitomise their respective genres or basically serve to show other moviemakers "how it's done" are movies that might have a place on this list. Dark Knight, yes. Lord of the Rings, yes. Love, Actually, because it's a total chick flick that does not suck balls and is very watchable.
The Blues Brothers is a genre of its own. I'd call it a must watch, but only for certain people...
Surprised no-one mentioned The Fifth Element.
Put Hugh Grant aside and you have a movie that at least has some humour and the odd bit of warmth and some fantastic cast members.
The Notebook was just the most over dramatic, overacted, snooty, pompous 'chick flick' I have ever seen. I don't mind romance movies, in fact there's a lot of them which I love but this film was pathetic. The cast/crew should all be shot and buried in shallow graves.
Also, About A Boy was indeed hilarious (and Hugh Grant was surprisingly tolerable in it) but in all fairness it is based on a fantastic book (although compared to the book it's shit but that happens all the time...).
