Really want to recommend blade runner 2049
Please please watch The Invisible guest. It’s a Spanish movie but it’s legit one of the best movies I’ve seen
To piggy back off the Spanish movies Abre Los Ojos is an amazing Spanish film
I remember watching The Motorcycle Diaries way back in high school and it was fucking hilarious

Is furious 6 rlly that bad?
If you haven't seen the 6 Star Wars, 3 Indiana Jones, or the Dark Knight trilogy start with those. Otherwise here are my personal favorites, some of which are severely underrated/not well known.
Hell or High Water
Bad Times At The El Royale
Trading Places
Casino
Django Unchained
Major League
Shutter Island
42
A Bronx Tale
Edge of Tomorrow
Collateral
The Mummy 1 and 2
Braveheart
The Game
Hostiles
these first two are on my list. they keep getting recommended. will do one tonight.
If you've seen enough Tarantino, El Royale is literally an exact mix of Pulp Fiction, The Hateful Eight, and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. So much that's obvious lol. But still a great movie nonetheless. Hell or High Water I think is one of the most underrated dramas/thrillers/westerns out there imo.
Bad Times at the El Royale is criminally underrated
If you liked Shutter Island try Inception, might have already seen it but it's a 10/10 mind fuck (in a good way)
The plot twist in Shutter Island... left me speechless. Inception was a great movie too but left me confused
Inception is pretty good but yeah it can be a little confusing. Shutter Island is easy to understand but at the same time still mind blowing
I agree, Inception is really confusing. But it's really good
Judas and the Black Messiah
Malcolm X
Do The Right Thing
One Night in Miami
Get Out
Blackkklansman
School Daze

Blackkklansman was so good! I really enjoyed it
Even if these movies are a bit political, blackkklansman was just rlly good from a visual and music perspective.
What have you watched?
What about Whiplash ??
Uncut Gems is good.
I watched Sicario a couple of nights ago and it was fucking shit.
"fucking shit" in a good way?
no way man since when did that mean good !
I was bored to tears watching that
Chazelle's filmography is great. Whiplash, La La Land, and First Man.

There Will Be Blood is an all time rise and fall movie too
Added
Yeah but did Daniel Plainview really fall? I mean you could argue he got everything he wanted. I think it's more about his moral corruption over time, which is similar, but not a classic rise and fall like The Wolf of Wall Street or Goodfellas.
To add a few other genres:
War:
Apocalypse Now
Full Metal Jacket
The Thin Red Line
Surreal:
A Serious Man
Mulholland Drive
Being John Malkovich (although really anything by Charlie Kaufman would work, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind deserves a special shoutout)
Human Interest/Introspective
Blue Valentine
The Florida Project
Columbus
The Rider
The Florida Project is one of my all-time faves and so underrated. Thank you for including it!
Eternal sunshine and Florida project are great choices. Awesome taste here. Would also add Se7en somewhere in there. Great movie.
Would add Casino to rise and fall and Django to stylish movies as well. Also, imo Infinity War is actually one of the only good Marvel movies (way better than Endgame). One of the only ones I've seen where they weren't afraid to have the superheroes lose even though you knew they were going to undo it somehow later, action was really good since they got everything from huge battles like Wakanda to intense 1v1s like Iron Man v. Thanos, and Thanos was one of the best villains in recent memory. Sad that they reverted him to a basic Marvel baddie in Endgame.
Top Gun
All James Bond
The Art of Racing in the Rain
We are your friends
American Psycho
Batman all
The Transporter
12 Strong
Outer Banks is fun to watch but started to get lame
All James Bond? Some of us have lives Patrick
No no all James Bond in case they never watch it in their childhood. Imo James Bond played a big role in my childhood!
All the Adam sandler classics are good. I am finding that more and more people haven't seen them (waterboy, Happy gilmore, billy madison)
If you want to watch a great kung fu movie, I highly recommend Kung Fu Hustle. The dialogue is basically a meme and the fight scenes are awesome. I don't watch movies more than once but this is the only movie I've watched like 4 times.
Just rewatch American psycho
The Shining
Wind River
Beasts Clawing At Straws
Parasite
City of God
Jojo Rabbit
Battle Royale is very entertaining
Snowpiercer
Pulp Fiction
The Game
Taxi Driver
As Good As It Gets
One that flew over the cuckoo’s nest
Arrival
Interstellar
Coco
+1 for Arrival and Wind River. Two of my favorites
I had a bunch more I wanted to add, but wanted to finish a movie. I'll limit it to 20 in no specific order.
Great list.
Been wanting to watch Rosemary’s baby for a while. Absolute fan of horror movies. Is it THAT good ?
out of that list ive only seen 2, 8, 10 and 19. love 19.
1, 6, 9, 11, 20 are on my watch list
.
Yeah this list really fits the demographics of this forum.
I watched First Cow the other night and really liked it (on Showtime). It's pretty slow paced but an enjoyable watched. It's produced by A24 if anyone's familiar.
I also watched LA Confidential for the first time recently too and that was amazing (on Netflix).
Quite honestly Citizen Kane sucks to watch. It may be a landmark movie, but it sucks.
No. You're watching a man's rise and fall before your eyes. You see how despite his wealth, fame, power, and sheer ambition, he is never able to find the happiness and freedom he had when he was a child. The movie is especially interesting to watch today because of Trump. It's almost uncanny how similar they are. I really believe that Trump watched the movie and decided that he wanted to live the same life.
In that light I may give it another try. I just found it boring, but that was years ago. Also, I don't tend to like movies made prior to around 1965. I don't know what it is, something about the style, or their speaking cadence? Anyway, thanks for the feedback, I may try again.
I watched goldeneye last night and it was so fucking stupid. now im scared to watch other movies from my childhood like jurassic park incase its shit.
My top 10 right now:
- Cabaret
- Casablanca
- Ida
- In the Mood for Love
- Inside Llewyn Davis
- It's Such a Beautiful Day (this one is depressing af)
- Lost in Translation
- On The Waterfront
- Sex, Lies, and Videotape
- WALL-E
great picks!

Whiplash
Interstellar
The Shawshank Redemption
