Movies that Wju needs to see because his upbringing was seriously lacking

Ironically, both are love stories!

Squeeeeeeeeee!!!! Squeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

 

That reminds me we gotta add the Twilight series to the list.

 

Walking Dead also

 

But, but it's a love story.

 

YAS.

Such a good movie.

 

Eat my wake!!!!!!!

 

You Bastard

You Bastard

You Bastard

 

Roadhouse

 

Sam Elliot. 'nuff said.

 

Here is a quick list of movies that @Wju may enjoy. I've seen all and own copies of 95%; I've tried to stay away from the 2000-present as per interpretation of @CaptAmerica's OP, although some recommendations are from the past fifteen or so years. Several of the movies that other people have posted are outstanding as well, like (but not limited to) Duel, Dune, Blazing Saddles, Monty Python and The Holy Grail, Max Max, and a Fist Full of Dollars. On a related note, several of these movies are part of trilogies or series, like Max Max and A Man With No Name. IMHO, it's generally worth watching the entire series even if one of the series's movies isn't quite on par with the others.

@Wju, hopefully you find this list interesting and enjoy these movie recommendations. The vast majority have, in past and present, significant impact on culture, cinema and filmmaking, the participating actors/actresses, and of course, internet memes and forum posts. Others are just damn good. I also have a shorter list of foreign movies that were not released in North America that you may find interesting as well.













All of the Man With No Name movies are amazing:


















Especially this one:













Sugarland!

 

That's an impressive and diverse list.

 

Clerks



and of course, Clerks 2

 

The Big Lebowski and Kingpin

 

Uh...no. You could get banned from this thread for that!

TV show, not a movie. Take @ericd with you on your way out.

All winners.

 

Part 2:































































The car chase in Ronin is considered a rival to the one in Bullitt, which is widely viewed as the best car chase scene in cinema history.

 

By the replies from @Wju i'd have to guess he's of a certain age that was too late for a lot of the movies I grew up watching. John Belushi, John Candy, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Gene Wilder were all actors I grew up watching.

I'll throw a couple on the pile:

Fletch
Fletch 2
Vacation
Xmas Vacation
Throw Mama From the Train
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Trading places (1983)
See no Evil, Hear no Evil
Brewster's Millions
Gung-Ho!
Big Trouble in Little China
Airplane (1, but 2 wasn't horrible)
The 'Burbs
all of the Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan collection:
Joe Vs The Volcano
Sleepless in Seattle/You've got mail (I know, chick flicks but worth it.)
Once Bitten
Uncle Buck
Adventures in Babysitting
Nothing But Trouble



This thread has nostalgia written all over it for a lot of us....

I'll have to look through my Laserdisc collection...
