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?

"Classic era Steve Martin, like The Jerk and the Man With Two Brains - oh and Planes Trains and Automobiles"

It's strange, but I've always thought I liked Steve Martin's films (seen most of the classic ones) until recently I realised that Planes Trains and Automobiles is probably the only one that I'd enjoy these days and that's mainly because of John Candy.

Predestination. Absolutely amazing film.

Lost Boys
Dead and Loving It
Grosse Point Blank
Uncle Buck
Blues Brothers
The Quiet Man
Tomb Raider
Indiana Jones

So many already listed by PPs!!

But I must add:

Six Degrees of Separation
Strictly Ballroom
My Cousin Vinnie
The Princess Bride
The Blind Side (already mentioned but deserves a second vote)

Muriel's Wedding? Away We Go was fantastic, I definitely agree with that one. A personal favourite of mine to watch on my own is Terms Of Endearment. Such a great script.

Oh Brother Where Art Thou.
Big Lebowski.
Bridesmaids (again)

I'm going to each The Age Of Adaline tonight- it gets a good rating on IMDb. I shall report back.

Shadypines , it's got Harrison Ford in it...

*watch

Pans Labyrinth. I watched this by accident on Channel 4 one night. It's absolutely mesmerising. Absolute must see and I don't normally do subtitles!

Robstersgirl have you seen a The Orphanage? Same director - very dark and sad, but I'm guessing if you enjoyed Pan's Labrynth, you will enjoy it!

Do you mind violence? The kill bill films are amazing!

Cheesy - No but I will now! Thank you.

BitofFun I watched the age of Adaline the other day and thought it was a really beautiful film, never seen Blake Lively in anything and thought she suited the character so well.
Really recommend the film to anyone!

Oh, but it's only in cinema at the moment op.

Don't watch Cape Fear on your own!

I watched August, Osage County on a plane recently and it was fantastic. Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Benedict Cumberbatch and some other great character actors. One hell of a dysfunctional family and a brilliant little film that didn't really do much at the box office.

Oh, and Pride. Was laughing out loud on the plane.

If you like hunger games then I think you'll like Divergent and the follow up to it, Insurgent.

LA Confidential
Papillon
The Truman Show
Delicatessen
The Ladykillers
