Unmissable films...

Zink Whistlefly · 04-18-2008, 08:57 AM

Hi all,

My wife and I have just signed up to LoveFilm. I'm just populating my rental list (says I should ideally store 50+ titles in there

) - what films would you class as "unmissable", or what films have you seen that you would highly recommend? Any genre, any age...

The Usual Suspects
American Beauty
Shawshank Redemption
No Country for Old Men

Heat
Fight Club
V For Vendetta
The Blair Witch Project
(and just to make you look at me funny) The Princess Bride

Some good films there Sever, haven't seen Blair Witch Project mind.

The Princess Bride is a classic, I love it!

Personally I think Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch are two unmissable films, but what do I know

To continue the list:
Brazil
the Fisher King
Twelve Monkeys

Just because Terry Gilliam makes some brilliant movies.

The World's Fastest Indian

Mm.. The Silence of the Lambs. Best movie ever. Most of the others I suggest have been listed, with the exception of Reservoir Dogs and a few others I don't remember right now.
