Movie recommendations

Feel free to post your own. I'm posting my top twenty favorite movies and will post more awesome movies later.

1.) Fight Club - A must see. On the zune marketplace.
2.) American Beauty - Great movie, no real action but very deep.
3.) The Shawshank Redemption - Stephen King book, damn good movie with Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins
4.) Into The Wild - Starring Emile Hirsch great movie that takes place all across America.
5.) Requiem For A Dream - A must see. Mind fuck.
6.) Brick - Detective story. Film Noir.
7.) Moon - Science fiction, Sam Rockewell. On the zune market place.
8.) Donnie Darko - Science fiction starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Another mind fuck.
9.) The Dark Knight - You've already seen this.
10.) Saving Private Ryan - Best war movie, hands down.
11.) District 9 - Science fiction, on the zune marketplace. Tons of this in this movie were supposed to be in the Halo movie that the director was originally going to film.
12.) Children of Men - Science fiction with Clive Owen. See this now.
13.) No Country For Old Men - The Cohen Brothers, book by Cormac McCarthy.
14.) Se7en - David Fincher and Brad Pitt. Thriller, really good.
15.) American History X - Edward Norton, Neo Nazis. On the zune marketplace
16.) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Jim Carrey in a serious role.
17.) Let the Right One In - Mindfuck of a Vampire movie, subtitled. American remake coming out soon, don't see it.
18.) The Royal Tenenbaums - A Wes Anderson movie, he's got a distinct style. If you don't like any of his movies you won't like this one either.
19.) Serenity - Science fiction based off a tv show by Joss Whedon before you see this.
20.) Office Space - Great funny movie, a predecessor of The Office.

YOUR MISSING MONTY PYTHONS HOLY GRAIL! That was my childhood right there. Other than that, I completely agree.

I haven't seen it, hear it's great. I haven't seen any stuff from Monty Python.

Tonight I'm watching Antichrist by Lars von Trier, it's a mindfuck apparently.

Watch them, they are classics that are hilarious.

I agree with a lot of your movie choices, and some I haven't seen before, so I'll check those out. Thanks Slacker.

So true. Oh, I almost forgot 2 of my top favorite movies. "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and "Rest stop" (rest stop is a "horror" movie but, if you ever need to laugh at a new movie that is just that bad, this is the one...)

as slacker put in his list, I would highly recomend se7en. Puts two great actors as the protagonists and keeps you thinking till the end.

Another good one I noticed in his list is Children of Men. Simply put, its an amazing movie. A short enough summary would be it depicts the deterioration of society when humans (for bioligical reasons) become infertile

I recommend one movie. A low budget year 2003 Korean movie that won some film festival some time ago. The movie just blew my mind. It's a psychological mystery thriller, ehre parts of the puzzle keep coming together right till the end, so I couldn't help to think of Fight Club at the end. So, if you liked Fight Club I can guarantee you will love this movie. But don't go check any plotlines before watching cause they will probably spoil something vital. Just think of it like this: Would have you enjoyed Fight Club if someone spoiled the ending for you? The same goes for Oldboy.

Wow, thanks for putting these down. I've been wanting to see a Wes Anderson movie for some time now, but I never got the chance. I'll try and see if my 420 points could let me experience something on your list.

i really enjoyed district 9. and my reccomendation is Blood Diamond for people who like to see intensity

I saw district 9 in the summer with a couple of friends, it was actually really good and epic. I also enjoyed the Hangover, it was hilarious

oh yea, im just wondering is anyone here going to see the new movie "The Crazies"? It looks pretty cool to me

I don't really mind spoilers, for anything. I get the same experience either way. I knew the ending for Oldboy a year before I saw it and still thought it was great.

Anyway, I saw Antichrist last night. Wasn't as scary or that much of a mindfuck, definitely creepy. It was rated NC-17 and for good reason. Watch it, just to see it if you get a chance.

Do you guys use any movie review site for movie recommendations? Besides Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic, obviously. I use Spill, been a member for I think 2 years now. They got a ton of podcasts and interesting stuff on the site. If you do decide to go there I recommend listening to the Let's Do This podcast, fucking hilarious.

Yea, this is a very good list. I've actually been meaning to see Requiem For a Dream. I heard its all about drugs and just by the trailer it indeed looks like a mind f?@k.

Saw a movie on netflix the other day by recommendation of a friend. The movie is called "This Is England." Its about a boy who joins a skinhead gang after his father dies in the Faulkins war. Check it out, its very good.

Agree with DeadApe. You should watch it if you haven't.

There's also a TV series adapted from the film as well, Deadape. Not as good as the film, but still worth watching.

Public Enemies

Cool man didn't know that. Thanks for the headsup I'll see if I can track it down sometime.

Boondock Saints is one of my favorites

Saw This Is England in TV some time ago. Missed a bit from the beginning, but nothing too much to not get the full story. It was pretty damn good. Another great, and somewhat similar british film I saw around same time on TV was a film biography of Stuart Shorter (not anyone you should know) by his unlikely book writing friend. Missed the ending, got it downloaded on my hard drive but since there's no subtitles and some of the characters (especially Stuart) speak pretty unclearly, still haven't seen the ending. Here's a link though, definately worth checking out if you like This Is England:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0853153/

I have seen most of the movies uo there not bad might check again but if you want to see a good horror Check 30 days of night.

+1 for This Is England
