Just name the movies you think everyone should have seen at least once in their lifetime. Go!
Idiocracy. It was funny when it came out. Now it hurts.
That might explain why I didn’t like it too much. I saw it last year, it probably hits too close to home :/
Because I haven’t seen it mentioned:
They Live
I grew up with Duke Nukem and later found a lot of his quotes were from that movie.
I can’t believe no one has said Tucker and Dale vs Evil yet. It’s best if you watch it without knowing anything about it beforehand.
- Lord of The rings Trilogy
- All Quiet on the Western Front
- Princess Bride
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail
- The Big Lebowski
- Inception
Edit: Can’t believe I left these out:
- High Fidelity
- Princess Bride
ALRIGHT!

Shoutout for mentioning Brick. Modern noir masterpiece I never see mentioned online. Great, eclectic list overall!
I fucking love In the Loop, but it took me a few viewings to understand what the hell was going on. I should watch it again.
The TV show was really good too, but the movie captures the absurdity so well.
Movie was more accessible, Thick of It series was blacker, crueller humour
The Princess Bride
That’s inconceivable!
Please remove “that’s”
- The Fifth Element
- Big Trouble in Little China
- LOtR

Office Space - the message was ahead of it’s time 12 Angry Men – reactionaries vs rationality
I haven’t seen it posted here yet so I’d like to add one of my favorites, Big Fish.
Dr. Strangelove
- Perfect Blue
- The End of Evangelion
- Love & Pop
Love & Pop the Hideaki Anno movie? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody else mention it online before
Yup, the Hideaki Anno movie! I think it’s one of the greatest movies I’ve seen. There’s a chapter of the book called Sexography that discusses the movie very well. It kind of helped me understand the issue a bit more.
Hell yeah! Ritual by him is also wonderful.
I haven’t seen Ritual yet but it’s on my watch list!
Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day
Secretary (2002)
Think what you want, this movie has layers of depth to it. Every time I watch it I feel like I learn something new about a character and why they are the way they are.
