I need a list of "must see" movies

[ThinkIveBeenHacked]

DH away with work next week so once the babies are asleep at 6.30pm I fancy settling down with a movie each night with my dinner. As DH not here I can indulge without having to find something we would both like.

Films ive watched recently and enjoyed are
Shutter Island
Inception
Life of Pi
Bridesmaids (why did I wait so long!)
Hunger Games (the three that are out anyways)

Dont mind most genres except horror.

Also dont mind age of the movies - dont have to be current.

What would you suggest I must see?

[sparkysparkysparky]

The Usual Suspects
Rear Window

[Sparklingbrook]

I have an 80s list if you want.

One of my favourite films is Senna. I always cry at the end

[bippityboppitypoo]

I recently watched American sniper and the kingsmen, enjoyed both.

[ThinkIveBeenHacked]

80s suggestions fine too!

[shadypines]

Another vote for Rear Window. I have old fashioned quality taste but I like some good modern stuff...

Rebecca
Some Like it Hot
Sabrina (old or new version)
Defiance ( not seen myself yet but got DVD and told it's great)
Heat (De Niro and Pacino)
Regarding Henry (actually just about anything with Harrison Ford in it)
12 Angry Men
The Help

Happy watching OP

[CadleCrap]

I have recently really enjoyed

the imitation game and American sniper.

Do not watch Dawn of the Planet of the apes.

[DontKillMyVibe]

Saw The Butler recently which was good and if you're in to Richard Curtis films, About Time is enjoyable (though a bit weepy in parts). Watch A Fault in Our Stars if you fancy an all out crying session

True Romance is my favourite film though

[Fudgeface123]

12 Angry Men
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest
Jaws (first one only, rest are shite)
It's Complicated (cheesy but very funny)
Shaun of the Dead
Kingpin
Something About Mary
Carrie (original)
The Deer Hunter
Dallas Buyer's Club
Batman - The Dark Knight (Heath Ledger's performance is amazing)

[FiveExclamations]

No Country for Old Men
Local Hero
Fargo
Grosse Point Blank
Contagion
Missing
Mystic River
The Princess Bride
Paul
The Darjeeling Limited

About Last Night
St Elmo's Fire
She's Having a Baby
The Breakfast Club
Pretty in Pink

[OnlyLovers]

Lots of these, especially Fargo, Some Like it Hot and Withnail and I, plus, off the top of my head:

Cabaret
A Knight's Tale
Mary Poppins
Something from Studio Ghibli (Spirited Away is probably thought of as their best but my favourite is Princess Mononoke)
Brassed Off
A Most Violent Year
The Women (the old one, NOT the remake with Meg Ryan)
Double Indemnity
All About Eve
All About My Mother (these two are a great double bill)

[TheBlahWitchProject]

A beautiful Mind
Enduring Love
Fatal Atraction
The Birds
Cherry Tree Lane
Ill Manners
Biutiful
Breaking and Entering
Sexy Beast
Oh....and my favourite....Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory (old version)
