I have seen them all except for Django and American History X.

Personally, I thought Inglorius Basterds had some great individual scenes, but as a whole wasn't that great. We would have some of the same (Shawshank, SPR, Star Wars Triology) but that is about it. How could you not include Braveheart and Schindlers List? I would also have Unforgiven and Letters from Iwo Jima as well as a bunch more that I will have to list another time.

Movies from my "must see before you die" list

I guess I can't die

I've wanted to watch American History X for a while now, but (spoiler-ish)

mr_thekid

4/18/14 4:50pm

Pretty grotesque film but it is really, really good.

canadiancougar624

4/18/14 4:51pm

Yeah, and I'm normally not phased by violence these days.

mr_thekid

4/18/14 5:02pm

It doesn't really show anything graphic.

The Green Mile is a personal favorite of mine.

fiberpost

4/18/14 4:51pm

Shoot, yeah that should be on there too. I love that movie.

canadiancougar624

4/18/14 4:53pm

I've seen 4.

4/18/14 4:52pm

You really should watch Shawshank Redemption when it's on TV sometime.

fiberpost

4/18/14 4:53pm

I'd add that the rated R version isn't nearly as good as the TV version.

4/18/14 4:55pm

Why?

mr_thekid

4/18/14 5:01pm

Best movie ever made

cougarbart

4/18/14 4:57pm

Agreed, I have watched it several times and don't tire of it...

4/18/14 5:21pm

Well, 12 haha

canadiancougar624

4/18/14 4:54pm

Shawshank is on AMC this Sunday at 6/5 C record it!

canadiancougar624

4/18/14 5:46pm

I don't have cable.

I'm not sure why any Tarantino would be on a 'must see' list

BYUCoug11

4/18/14 4:54pm

Why wouldn't it be? He has made some of the best movies in the last 20 years

canadiancougar624

4/18/14 4:59pm

Why? Because why would one need to see it? What would you be missing out on?

BYUCoug11

4/18/14 5:08pm

Agree. I have seen pulp fiction 2-3 times, kill Bill, and a few others

Bob Vance

4/18/14 10:05pm

I've seen all but Inglorious

cougarbart

4/18/14 4:56pm

Every time I see a different one of his films I think it's my favorite

canadiancougar624

4/18/14 4:58pm

Most overrated director ever.

RalphWiggam

4/18/14 5:13pm

Agree. Will never watch Tarantino

MtnMan

4/18/14 5:23pm

I've seen enough of his films to know that I dont need to see anymore.

RalphWiggam

4/18/14 5:55pm

I don't know if he's overrated, but none of his movies are 'must see' IMO

BYUCoug11

4/18/14 5:50pm

I'd put Nolan before Tarantino on that list

gustav88

4/18/14 8:37pm

Agree. He is a smart director, but I think he over does it. I think he wastes

Bob Vance

4/18/14 10:08pm

Some I think you are missing:

tibbyss09

4/18/14 4:56pm

The only one out of those I've seen is Schindler's List

canadiancougar624

4/18/14 4:59pm

Django?

gurt

4/18/14 4:58pm

Yeah it's a great movie!

canadiancougar624

4/18/14 5:00pm

Yes. Yes it is

Mathew

4/18/14 5:14pm

Have to put a couple of my nautical favorites on the list:

Add Gladiator and Band of Brothers series

4/18/14 5:08pm

I have seen them all except for Django and American History X.

4/18/14 5:09pm

I spaced on Schindler's List, but haven't seen Braveheart yet. I know, I suck

canadiancougar624

4/18/14 5:11pm

Breakfast club

Mathew

4/18/14 5:11pm

I'm an idiot haha

canadiancougar624

4/18/14 5:12pm

Nah. Tons of great movies. Hard to pick them all

Mathew

4/18/14 5:17pm

Schindler's List, Gladiator, and The Godfather 1 & 2 need to be on the list.

Japan Coug

4/18/14 5:12pm

Gran Tourino, True Grit, Unforgiven, O Brother Where Art Thou?

BlackBart

4/18/14 5:18pm

Also Braveheart, The Patriot, Lethal Weapon 1 and 2, and My Life

BlackBart

4/18/14 5:21pm

I love My Life, and is on my list. I agree with Glory as well.

4/19/14 12:29am

Gran Torino probably belongs on the list.

Japan Coug

4/18/14 5:21pm

GT probably in my top five favorite movies - pure genius

BlackBart

4/18/14 5:23pm

Eastwood was great in that

4/18/14 5:24pm

I miss my '72 Gran Torino.

93 cougar

4/18/14 5:29pm

Also Jaws, 12 years a slave, rear window, north by northwest, ET, AI

BlackBart

4/18/14 5:28pm

Also Chinatown, The Hurricane, Glory, LA Confidential, Usual Suspects

BlackBart

4/18/14 5:33pm

Orginal True Grit > then new one.

crimedog

4/18/14 6:20pm

This is ken where the second was better and truer to the book

BlackBart

4/18/14 9:56pm

I would have died happier had I never seen Forrest Gump

mpfunk

4/18/14 5:18pm

Yep. Gump sucked.

Shimmy

4/18/14 5:26pm

The Usual Suspects needs to be on your list

kotacoug

4/18/14 5:33pm

I would add The Count of Monte Cristo

Broda

4/18/14 5:55pm

The Place Beyond the Pines. We were soldiers. Braveheart. Lone Survivor.

Mathew

4/18/14 6:20pm

Lone Survivor is one that I would strongly recommend reading the book instead.

mr_thekid

4/18/14 6:23pm

I'm starting the book on Tuesday. I'm pretty excited.

Disagree

cougarbart

4/18/14 8:27pm

Lots of mediocrity there -- and none foreign or pre-1985 except Star Wars?
