movies/tv Must-See Movie suggestions

[TOMahwk 351]

Now I'm not much of a movie guy and since I have recently gotten bored of video games, and being in college now, I don't want to be bored, so I have taken to watching more movies. Just as I am writing this I just finished watching "Taken" with Liam Neeson, and I realized that "Wow, it's been like 4 years and I just now am seeing this movie?" And I just saw Moneyball for the first time yesterday, and I have not seen movies like Fight Club, The Godfather, Pulp Fiction, but I mean to get around to them. Also I would like to understand references when people make them instead of pretending I do....

 

Anyhow to the point, I've decided I'm going to watch a lot more movies, or for that matter TV Shows too, so feel free to give me a list of movies and shows that you would highly recommend, and then if you want, add in a little note saying why or what type of movie if it's more obscure or less well known.

Postal was a good movie, most people said it was bad because it was directed by Uwe Boll, but I don't see anything wrong with it, its funny and full of action

[Cookie Feather 490]

Hostel, awesome horror movie, teaches you not to trust Europeans. o u <

Jurassic Park, wonderful movie scores and it's a really neat movie.

All the Toy Stories, oh gosh, the best movies ever are the Toy Story movies, they're too cute.

Office Space, it's hilarious, you need to watch to find out for yourself though, uhhm...yeah...~

Little Shop of Horrors, you gotta see this movie, it's a musical, but it's really funny~ wouldn't it suck to have a sadistic dentist? D8

Dinner for Schmucks, it's actually a really cute movie, one of those kind of mindless movies to watch when you've had a bad day.

The Shrek movies, if you love fairy tales and then have them all collide into one movie, yeah, watch~

I have posted this in alot of places but don't blame me for pasting it

 

---

 

The way I've done this list is that I have putten the movies in chronological order. So the old movies is on the top and newer follows. I have also made a space between each decade so it's easier to see. Each decade has it's own color.

 

The movies I like the most of these (my absolute favorites) are in bold text. Now all of these are my favorites so it is not possible for me to leave the non-bolded out.
