What films are a must watch before you die?

[Soubriquet]

Schindler’s List

Jaws
Withnail & I
The Wickerman
The Wolf of Wallstreet
Scarface
The English Patient

Deerhunter is such a classic

I can’t believe I forgot Pan’s Labyrinth!

Pan’s Labyrinth is very good, but very harrowing.

Also, why did Ofelia eat the grapes despite being warned not to? That bugs me more than it should!

Just started it this evening !

Love Story
Breakfast at Tiffany's
The Truman Show
Sixth Sense

A number of Alfred Hitchcock films not yet mentioned: North by Northwest, Rear Window, The 39 Steps.

Great musicals such as High Society, Singin' In the Rain, Grease, Oliver, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita.

The Great Escape, The Dam Busters.

Pulp Fiction.

There are so many.

Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, Working Girl

Law Abiding Citizen , will never leave me whereas other films get totally forgotten about

I agree with One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Sound of Music, plus Shawshank Redemption and Parasite.

Gone with the Wind
The Naked Civil Servant
Still Life

Schindlers List
The Killing Fields
The Long Good Friday

Brokeback Mountain
Sophie's Choice
Miracle on 34th Street
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Lord of the Rings (all 3)

Casablanca - when I finally got round to watching it I thought it was brilliant. Also Ice Cold in Alex.

There are so many great films! Some already mentioned but would also add:

Rashomon (although anything by Kurusawa)
In the Mood for Love
Wild Tales
M
Pulp Fiction
Gorky Park (my wild card!)

Gandhi
Shawshank
Gladiator
Cape Fear (DeNiro one)

Magnolia

I went to the cinema to see it. I was spellbound from the start to the finish. It was weird but a fair few people walked out. I will never understand that. It is long but utterly gripping.

Also Shawshank - it's a timeless masterpiece. I watched it again recently and it just confirmed this. I think it's the best film ever made.
