5 must-have movies for every home collection?

1) Scarface with Al Pacino as Tony Montana😎

2) The first two movies are great, but the third one totally sucks

3) Deep Throat—that Linda Lovelace film is an absolute classic🙂

4) Raging Bull—De Niro was absolutely incredible in that one

5) Unforgiven by Clint Eastwood

There are plenty of other amazing flicks out there, but Scarface will always be my favorite😎

1. Gone in 60 Seconds.
2. Forrest Gump (hours of indecision... you'll either cry or laugh)
3. Scarface
4. The Bourne Identity!!
5. Ice Age, Shrek, or... hmm...

Plus tons of other classics, but I can't be bothered to list them all right now!
😛

xviolentjack said:Deep Throat? Total legend. We’re talking about the absolute icon, Linda Lovelace. Rest in peace to a literal classic.🙂

Just to mention a few that vanished into thin air: Mad Max 2, The Big Wave, Rollerball, Empire Strikes Back, and even North American Spy...🙂

1. Army of Darkness
2. The Naked Gun trilogy
3. History's Funniest Moments

... I guess those are just the first five that popped into my head, maybe.

I’m wondering why nobody has brought up how the war actually started on my home island? I would honestly love to have that at home; it’s one of those classic American films that makes me laugh every single time I watch it.

And then there's Amarcord... are you all actually blind, or are you just trying way too hard to act sophisticated? Look, it's a sweet movie with a nice message, but it was easily one of the longest stretches of time I've ever had to endure. I had the misfortune of sitting through it in a theater—not when it first came out, but maybe a year or two ago—and I genuinely thought my brain was going to evaporate from pure boredom.🙄

1. Lord of the Rings
2. The Matrix
3. Ben-Hur
4. Top Gun
5. Weird History Tales

1. Lord of the Rings
2. Diplomacy
3. All About Eve
4. A Man and a Woman
5. Max

You guys have already listed quite a few others—but honestly, money just isn't an issue here...

I’m a terrible movie critic!

Top five:

Dr. Strangelove
The man who wasn't there
25th Hour
Deep Blue
K-Pax
Pulp Fiction (obviously)

Clint Eastwood movies
Kevin Smith's entire filmography
Star Wars
Star Trek
Every season of X-Files and Law & Order
-(still hunting these down)

1. Thieves, killers, and two loaded shotguns—honestly, sounds pretty genius to me.
2. I think it’s called American History X? It’s absolutely brilliant, especially with Edward Norton; his performance was just spot on. Definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it.
3. 25th Hour—also starring Norton, and it was just brilliant.
4. Some old movie about candied green tomatoes, or something like that... I watched it ages ago back when I was just a kid, so I can't quite recall the details, but I know I really loved it.
5. Anything with the Pink Panther or Inspector Clouseau—any of those sequels are great.

If anyone happens to know if any of these (besides number 3) are available on DVD at local video rental shops around the city, maybe shoot me an email? I've just got to have them!

6. All those STA movies, just as a matter of principle, I guess.
7. The Naked Gun 1, 2, and 3.

My internet cut out right as I was hitting send, so I'm posting this again...
Let me think.

1. Taxi Driver
2. Blade Runner
3. Magnolia
4. Straw Dogs
5. The Tenant

Or maybe these?
- Lord of the Rings (all three)
- There Will Be Blood
- Dogville
- Unprovoked (that old one where Russell Crowe plays a neo-Nazi)
- What's Eating Gilbert Grape

Hmm. Hard to pick.
- The Last Waltz (music doc, directed by S. Spielberg)
- Fargo
- Groundhog Day
- Breaking the Waves
- American Beauty

There's plenty more where that came from.
😠

If I had my way, I’d watch pretty much anything by Hitchcock...
To me, his work feels like the absolute alphabet of cinema. It's the foundation everything else is built on.
