Fuhgeddaboudit Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Guys, I need help. I want to watch some classics, and maybe some movies I've missed. I've never seen the godfather movies, never seen Blow, never seen any of these "bad-ass" movies. It's tough looking around on Netflix for any good movies, and I want to throw some movies on my DVD queue besides the new stuff that are coming soon on Netflix. Also, if anyone knows any "deep" movies (like classic Inception movies), then that would be even better.
Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Friends of Eddie Coyle, Serpico, For a Few Dollars More. Great starting 3 that are available pretty easily.
Fuhgeddaboudit Posted December 31, 2012 Author Posted December 31, 2012 Bah, I hate westerns, that's my only problem. I'll add Serpico to my list though, and I'll check out the first one.
Dave Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 When you say classics, before what year? I don't want to recommend stuff like Silence of the Lams, The Shinning or Shawshank Redemption if you mean older movies than that.

I don't want to recommend stuff like Silence of the Lams, The Shinning or Shawshank Redemption if you mean older movies than that. Good point. I'm only 21 so I might have missed a lot of great movies before the year 2000. I know those necessarily aren't "classics" but anything older than that would be awesome. I've seen all of those movies you've listed though, and they were spectacular.

For a Few Dollars more doesn't out like a traditional western, hell none of Leone's westerns do. It's worth seeing, don't close yourself off to a genre based on preconceived notions.

Weird, when I checked it on IMDB, it said Language: Italian. Weird... lol
Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 They were all originally released in Italy first, so that language dub takes first language on credits. Westerns are not a dime a dozen, they have as much depth as any other genre and you owe it to yourself if you are serious about movies to watch the dollars trilogy, even if you end up hating it.
Dave Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 I like sci-fi, so for me, some must watch movies of the 90's are: The Crow The Star Trek movies Star Ship Troopers (will either love it or hate it) Strange Days Army of Darkness Twelve Monkeys Jacob's Ladder Some other good films of the 90's: Fargo American History X Dazed and Confused Philadelphia Se7en Rounders Sleepers The Negotiator Happy Gilmore Primal Fear Edward Scissorhands Goodfellas Fight Club Casino Grosse Point Blank The People Vs Larry Flint

I'll definitely try them out then and see what they are like. Adding them on Netflix once I get the chance. Their site is down for maintenance.

Read my mind. I saw a few of them, but the others I am interested in. Thanks a lot.

A couple of more to add to this is The Doors, Full Metal jacket, Saving Private Ryan, A Clockwork Orange, Reservoir Dogs, A Bronx Tail, Tommy Boy and As Good As It Gets. Im sure there are others as well that I cant think of at this point.

As I said, Starship Troopers, you either love or you hate. Definately a political statement that you get kind of beat over the head with, and there is a good amount of cheese as well.
Patrick Bateman Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 If you're looking for a "deep" movie that's also a classic you have to watch Apocalypse Now
Johnnydollaz18 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Good point. I'm only 21 so I might have missed a lot of great movies before the year 2000.

Fuhgeddaboudit Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 If you're looking for a "deep" movie that's also a classic you have to watch Apocalypse Now That's actually on my list, although I hated the book Heart of Darkness... which I heard were quite similar.. or was one based on the other? Goodfellas>>>> Believe it or not, never saw this and this is also on my queue right now.
Jules Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 The Deer Hunter is a must-see, so is Citizen Kane.
siddious Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 If you're looking for a "deep" movie that's also a classic you have to watch Apocalypse Now yes. i also second jacobs ladder.
Tonybologna Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Goodwill Hunting is on Netflix, I'd consider that a classic
Patrick Bateman Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 There Will be Blood is an other great one
Fuhgeddaboudit Posted January 8, 2013 Author Posted January 8, 2013 Goodwill hunting and Wag the Dog seem pretty good. I added them to my list. @Renegade - seems boring, but Day-Lewis is in it, so I might give it a try.
Saucy Mitts Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Start with these Pierrot le Fou The Magnificent Ambersons Belle du Jour The Seventh Seal La Strada Bicycle Thieves The Rules of the Game Seven Samurai The Passion of Joan of Arc Jules and Jim The General The Birth of a Nation Casablanca
H-Dreamer Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 There Will be Blood is an other great one Bored me to death, I started skipping towards the end after half an hour or so.
Dave Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Some more I thought of: Gangs of New York Dead Poet's Society Monty Python and the Holy Grail Coming to America Ferris Bueller's Day Off Trading Places Blade Runner Coming to America Stand by Me Top Secret! Airplane Color of Money Raising Arizona
