Must have movies

[Franconicus]

I want to expand my movie collections and wonder if you could give me some recommandations.

I already have:

The sting
Harald and Maud
The good, the bad and the ugly
Blow up
The man that shot Liberty Valance

[Ja'chyra]

Blade
Saving Private Ryan
Lock Stock
Jay and Silent Bob

For starters

Hello Franconicus,

Maybe this thread can be helpful to you.

Hope it helps.

My recommendations:

The Gods Must Be Crazy I and II

These films possess a unique charm and nostalgia. The second Crazy film was particularly entertaining and seems to be one of very few sequels I would rate more highly than the original. But a warning: after these two, the rights to the name were bought out by a Hong Kong filmmaker. What followed was a travesty and an abomination upon films.

Seven Samurai

Akira Kurosawa’s masterpiece, IMHO.

Kill Bill I and II

Of course! Kill Bill I, in particular, demonstrates Tarentino’s flair with choreography for impact and impeccable sense of timing. A true showpiece.

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Helps a lot!
Thanks!

Just need a few more all time classics!

[Drisos]

Helps a lot!

I'm glad to hear that.

I must say that I don't know that much movies and the ones I know I posted in the 'movie thread'. I think because of 'the blind king of bohemia' you now know enough, and I couldn't name any more after that list of him anyway.

Enjoy watching!
