Watch this first. I promise you will love it. Alright, for me: Fanny and Alexander I loved the 7th Seal and from what I read so far I'm sure I will love it. But lately I'm really not in a subtitle mood for some reason. Lolita I love Kubrick's movies but for some reason I have never seen this. Bought it like four years ago too. Absolutely no idea why I haven't watched it yet. The Deerhunter Apparently a Vietnam-must-see. Just can't get myself to buy and watch it. The Outsiders Same as the Deerhunter... Rear Window I usually like Hitchcock movies, but I have seen too many remakes of this. Lawrence of Arabia No excuse. I really want to see it.

VelvetEvoker posted:Well, I've been meaning to get to a lot of movies but I keep putting them off, so I figure this thread'll be good to combat that. Watch "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". It is SO often quoted and it is one of Johnny Depp's best performances. And it is more of a Hunter S. Thompson than a Gilliam movie...but Thompsons work and Gilliam's directing combined are...something. So, what did I miss? 1. The Deer Hunter. Apparently one of the great Vietnam movies. 2. The Outsiders 3. Don't look now 4. Wild Strawberries. I love Bergman...should really watch it. 5. The Bridge on the River Kwai. I usually don't like war movies that are that old...but this one has been recommended over and over again. 6. Stagecoach. I like my westerns. A lot.Should really watch it, and if it is just for cinema-historic reasons. 7. Rear Window. Not a Hitchcock fanatic (I love some of his movies but I think the majority is kinda meh) but this has been quoted/redone so often and apparently it is real good. I am also interested in the remake with Cristopher Reeves. 8. 40 Year old virgin. Really not an Apatow fan. At all. Thesse movies are extemely hit and miss for me. Like 90% miss. But everybody I know keeps on telling me I need to see this. 9. The Sound of Music. I LOVE movies from that period, especially musicals. I have literally no idea why I haven't watched this. 10. (Not a movie!) The Sopranos. Watched Season 1. REALLY loved it. It was almost Godfather niveau. But I never watched the other seasons

Watch this. It's really, really good. I have posted here before (once I think), but I can't find the post again so I start over: 1. Wil Strawberries. I love Bergman, no excuses. 2. Ben Hur. Apparently a classic that everyone has seen. Not me! 3. A streetcar named desire. Apparently a classic. I don't know anything about this movie. 4. Tetro. Francis Ford Coppola should be reason enough, but I keep avoiding it. 5. Watership Down (Technically a rewatch, saw it first when I was ~10). I am still too scared to watch this. 6. Dreams (Kurosawa). It's Kurosawa, no excuse. 7. The hidden fortress (see above) 8. Ponyo. I love the Ghibli flicks. I should really watch this. 9. The Great Escape. Apparently it's really good. 10. The Sound of Music. I love Musicals. Pretty sure I need to see this.

Infernal Affairs Scorsese remade it so it should be good.
