What films are a must watch before you die?

[Soubriquet]

Schindler’s List

I would recommend City of God

Also, For Sama (this is a HARD watch)

Fight Club

Life Is Beautiful. The only subtitled film I'll ever watch.

Schindler's List
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (Newman/Redford version)
The Blues Brothers
The Third Man
Cry Freedom

Realised this is a bit of an eclectic mix!

Toy Story 1- 4
Jaws
Casino
Its a Wonderful Life
In Bruges
City of God

The Pianist

Goodfellas
Blues brothers
Shawshank redemption

Ooh that’s a tough one- there’s so many!

LOTR
Shawshank Redemption
Gladiator

First ones to pop into my head:

Dr Strangelove
The Ladykillers (original, not remake)
10 Things I Hate About You
Romeo & Juliet (Baz Luhrmann)
Hot Fuzz
Dangerous Liaisons

Withnail & I
Shawshank
La Haine
This Is England
Wolf of Wall Street
Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

Forest Gump

Gaslight because how many people use this term without having watched the actual 1944 film? I saw it many years ago long before the popular usage of “gaslighting” and remember how disturbing I found it.

The Wizard of Oz
The Killing Fields
A room with a view

Double Indemnity,
All About Eve,
Fargo,
Psycho,
Goodfellas,
and I guess Citizen Kane is an obligatory watch, even if it's massively overrated!

None.

The Crow

The Godfather and The Godfather Part 2

The Pianist

It’s a great movie.

Screenplay by writer Patrick Hamilton who had two narcissistic parents. His novels usually feature at least one narcissistic character.

Jaws
ET
Muppet Christmas Carol

The green mile
Sleepers
Casino
Blow
Shawshank
Stand by me

Love Gladiator. DH and I have a tradition of watching on earth year.

He was in a pub a few weeks back and overheard some young people discussing it and one guy said "yea - I do T get what the fuss is about. Joaquin Phoenix is so overrated ". DH just shook his head in that way Old Men do

The Color Purple - 1985 version

@kublacant agree The Killing Fields. When I watched this not long after it first came out here my then husband (very emotional man) was in tears and I was in silent shock.

This has just landed on Netflix so have a movie night scheduled with my 13 year old to watch this tonight 🥤 🍿
