Just watched gladiator for the first time recently, pretty blown away by how good it was
No Shawshank?
Shawshank is so good bro, definitely could take the place of anything on the list. In hindsight, I would definitely add it and American Beauty too.
You are a man of taste. Love it when people mention lesser known movies like Barry Lyndon. My top 10:
1. Gone with the Wind
2. Godfather Part I and II
3. 2001: A Space Odyssey
4. It's a Wonderful Life
5. Schindler's List
6. Seven Samurai
7. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
8. Harakiri
9. Clockwork Orange
10. Fitzcarraldo
Seven Samauri...i would say underrated but it's not. Just so many younger people under 40 have not seen it or heard of it. GREAT film
Apparently I picked the wrong one of the 20 threads to post my reply in yesterday, and it got deleted with that thread. Here it is:
That's tough. I'll give a couple different answers.
Best plot twist ever: The Usual Suspects - The whole movie is a lie.
Best War Movie: Das Boot. It's a psychological thriller, and a really raw look at war. Yes they're German, but only a few are Nazis, and most are just trying to do their job, which is dispense death.
Best Musical Film: The Blues Brothers. Every theater nerd hates it, but you can't define a musical in any way that disallows the film without eliminating half the musicals in existence. They spontaneously break into song to advance the plot (and it's really good music too, with the original artists singing their greatest hits: Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Ray Charles, etc.) It's also funny as hell.
Best Christmas Movie: (this will get me monkeys--t) Trading Places: It has all kinds of themes Die Hard can't touch: Racism, prostitution, blackface, hard drugs, soft drugs, even rape and interspecies gay sex. Oh, it also has Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy at their best. It even spawned securities law.
Best Overall: Pulp Fiction. The twists and turns, as well as the insane number of quotes make this a winner for me.
People in my family quote Trading Places all the time. Mainly: "Looking Good Billy Ray - Feeling Good Louis." hahahahahha
Pork Bellies.
I sit close to the commodities funds team. The number of quotes from the movie are amazing.
Das Boot is such a great shout
Goldfinger
I’ve been watching a lot of Denzel Washington recently, I would argue he is one of the greatest actors of all time
Man on Fire is so good, for the first hour or so it's a bit of a lovey dovey film about how a guy close to ending it all finds meaning in life in helping a little girl, then it turns into one of the best man on a mission films ever
Surprised to see no mention of Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Based
The Departed or Good Will Hunting will forever be top of the list for me (also a huge Matt Damon fan)
The Departed was fantastic, all-star cast and great acting. Costello was such an eerie villain / antagonist, yet almost likable at times.
Another crime / pseudo thriller that I really liked was Killing Them Softly. It maybe focuses a little bit more of the character-to-character storytelling, but keeps it entertaining haha. Lots of political undertones too that lent themselves well to the diegetic woes of the characters.
I’m a Nolan fanboy so Dark Knight, Interstellar, and Memento for me.
Torn between Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Ichi the Killer. Both extremely entertaining and I’ve seen them 5-6 times. My only measure of a film is if I ever feel bored enough to look away and these are quite engaging. More chill I like Spirited Away, very creative and good for any age.
The three movies that I have enjoyed watching the most are Rocky, 42 and School Ties.
Gone with the Wind is the greatest movie of all time.
Best move of all time for me hands down -The Prestige. So underrated but amazing.
Wolf of Wall Street
My favorites have changed so much over the years. Recently really liked "The Company Men." I personally was too young to experience the job market in the GFC but I feel this movie was fairly accurate with some older people I knew back then (even as a teen, I remember how traumatized some younger adults were at the time with the job market after layoffs or after graduating from college / grad school - it's insane how many '09 grads I knew worked in retail / underemployed roles until like '11 - '13).
Recent MBA grad whose still job searching FT (with a lot more success lately) and for some odd reason, this movie comforts me.
IMO There Will be Blood should be regarded as the best Wall Street film. Best presentation of avarice and its pitfalls.
catch me if you can, the performances from leo and hanks are unmatched
He was pretty good with DDL in Gangs of New York too
scarface
Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, Oppenheimer
Heat
I can’t give enough SB’s for Heat.
Cars
Kachow
No Country for Old Men
Requiem for a Dream is on Amazon Prime right now - a classic. All kids should be forced to watch this. That arm scene with the hole in the elbow is horrific - they will never do drugs.
Last of the Mohicans.
American Psycho
