I wanna start watching a hell of a lot of movies, but good movies, movies that I should have seen already. I started to download citizen cane and logans run because I've always wanted to see em and I've heard good things but never actually took the time.

So lend me your ideas, your thoughts, and your ears.

Its Citizen Kane, my friend. I thought Logan's Run is only fun if you dont mind a little bit of camp.

What genres are you really into, btw?

eh fine kane whateva.

anything really besides horror, I have problems enough sleeping as it is.

No I guess I"m asking if your one of those people who "will not watch old movies" or whatever.

Oh what god no, I'm almost the opposite. I would in fact prefer some nice old flicks than these new cliche overly cgi'ed new ones.

you should watch the big lebowski because you've never seen that right?

I'd recommend (if you havent seen them already):

12 Angry Men
One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest
Amadeus
A Clockwork Orange
Paths of Glory
Taxi Driver

Will suggest more if you like the above choices.

Also if you dont mind foriegn Cinema:

Rashomon (Japan)
The Seventh Seal (Sweden)
Les Diaboliques (France)
Two Half times in Hell (Denmark)

If you were a woman I'd call you back the next morning.

full metal jacket. really just go watch any movie directed by stanley kubrick.

God I've got to start paying attention to directors and shit, I've apparently seen nearly all of his movies and I never even knew his name or connected any of them. Thanks though man, gonna check out the ones I haven't see.

Everything by Darren Aronofsky, if you haven't already.

Saw the beginning of requiem but never finished it, added that and Pi to the list. Thanks meng

Aranofsky's The Fountain sucked quite a bit, but apart from that, his movies are awesome.

Hitchcock has a variety of classics : Psycho, Read Window, Vertigo, Strangers on a Train, Rope, North By Northwest and The Birds are his best movies. But compared to modern thrillers, his other movies like Shadow of a Doubt, Notorious and Dial M for Murder are also classics. Since you dont like Horror movies, I'd advice skipping Psycho and Birds.

I think its a given that every movie buff has to have seen the Godfather movies. I would also throw Scarface, Goodfellas, Once upon a time in America and The Untouchables to the best of that genre.
