The seventh seal
All quiet on the western front


All good films should have the protagonist faced with death IMO... It always makes an incredible adventure. Unless you suck royally at writing stories.

EDIT: I'll throw in Seven Samurai to the list, as well as Ikiru, because I KNEW I was missing another death movie.

Both are good. The original, however, is quite extraordinary.

You should look at my sig before you added that one and you would have removed it and placed "L,S and 2SB". (although snatch is good as well)

Plank: Ah! They shot me!
Dog: Well, shoot em back!

(The sig came from when barry the baptist walked out of the bar meaning to murmur "f-cking northern monkeys" but no matter how many times I watch it, its so clearly said "nova". Nova makes no sense and Lenny says later about how he hates "f--king southern fairies". Maybe a UK resident who watched the movie can clarify this for me?

My nickname for awhile was "Nova Monk", while I had a bald head. )

OK some people say they read these.

I'll give you the movies I own, and some other good ones.

The Abyss: The real James Cameron water adventure

Bill and Ted's Excellent adventure: silly comedy buy not like most others

Dumb And Dumber: really really silly comedy

Gladiator: not sure why I own this, I didn't like it that much. Still a decent flick though

Heat: Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino 'nuff said

Clint Eastwood in the Man with no name series (this is actually 3 movies- spagheti westerns made in the 60's)

Predator: Silly action movie. I like it for some reason. I'd like a little *****

Pulp Fiction: the greatest movie ever!!!! 'nuff said

Seven: great thriller.

Spaceballs: another silly comedy. Star Wars spoof. I see your swartz is as big as mine.

The Stand: this was actually a tv miniseries, But I liked the book so I got the miniseries. Not the best quality, but not bad for tv.

Terminator 1 and 2. The greatest action flicks ever made. And they have some sci-fi elements in them

Waynes World. Great flick from one of SNL's better skits.

Unforgiven. Clint Eastwood's greatest western movie.

Die Hard movies (there are 3 of them). Great action movies if you like Bruce Willis

Natural Born Killers: written by Quentin Tarantino I believe. Directed by Oliver Stone. And it has Woody in it

Platoon. Olive Stone's best Vietnam flick.

Other movies which I should have or have VHS copies of from cable:

12 Monkeys. The best sci-fi flick ever!! I'm a Bruce Willis fan you can tell.

Born on the Fourth of July: another Oliver Stone vietnam flick. But it deals with the aftermath of the war. Overdramatic, but still great.

Signs. Just came out last year. Took a lot of heat because nothing happens. And I admit the aliens have a pretty stupid weakness (they would be hurting in the city that Frasier does his radio show). But M. Night Shmalyn (sp?) is great at creating suspense with no action.

The Sixth Sense- the first of his movies that I know of. Another suspense flick.

Unbreakable- yet another M. Night flick. Not as good as the others. Many don't like this one, but I do.

Wall Street- Oliver Stone yet again. And Michael Douglis/Charlie Sheen

Falling Down- Michael Douglous. Not that great, but for some reason I like it.

Conan the Barbarian/Destroyer. Cheesy flicks of the sword and sorcery type

Mad Max/Road Warrior/Beyond Thunderdome: mad max series. Low budget Australian action movies set in a strange future.

American Beauty- Kevin Spacey is good in this

The Big Kahuna- not that great. Based off a play. But I like Kevin Spacey. Good message if you get it.

Swimming with the sharks- the movie that got me liking Kevin Spacey.

Casino- decent mobster flick

The Godfather- 'nuff said

Goodfellas- another mobster flick

Scarface- yet another

Apocalypse Now- we all know about this one

Full Metal Jacket- excellent vietnam flick

The Shining- great horror movie (1980 version)

Back to the Future series

Fast times at ridgemont high

The Breakfast Club

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

can't think of anymore right now. But there are at least 50 or 100 great movies out there.

But not all of them.. Personally, I recommend 2 and 6. Other people often recommend 4, but while that one is ok, it's not very star-treky, and there are plenty of other family movies that are better, IMHO.

Also, some more good movies:
The Breakfast Club
Stand By Me
Laura (The 1940's version)
Whatever happened to Baby Jane?
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (although it goes a little over the top )
Horror of Dracula
Curse of Frankenstein
The Mummy (either the 1930's version, or the 1950's version)
The Devil Rides Out
The Thing From Another World (the Original)
Dogma
Deterrence
Thirteen Days
Beauty and the Beast
The Great Mouse Detective
101 Dalmations
Die Hard With a Vengeance
