[anthony]

well i searched on the forums and didnt find anything like this (possible failure at searching if there is already a thread like this) so here it goes.. i thought that it would be great that people posted their favourite/must see films here as a sort of guide to what you need to see in your life time then discuss them a little or whatever??... anyway ill start

the shawshank redemption
fight club
AI: artificial intelligence
princess mononoke
all of the batman films
the nightmare before christmas

Well, it does say offtopic under "General." Once the lolcats get in, it's probably asylum time.

Star Wars Trilogy (4-6)
Indiana Jones Trilogy (1-3)
LotR (1-3)

The "offtopic" note predates the asylum, I think it simply hasn't been updated since

Surf Ninjas

Here are some of my favourites:

Memento : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209144/
Pan's Labyrinth : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457430/
There Will be Blood : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469494/
Brokeback Mountain : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388795/
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338013/
Old Boy : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364569/
Stranger Than Fiction : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0420223/

All have really good plots and fairly universal appeal

Our definitions of "universal appeal" must be fairly different

[Kurgen]

Trying not to repeat so, you have to have 'Big Trouble in Little China'

also

Evil Dead 3 : Army of Darkness
SpaceBalls
Police Academy
Conan the Barabrian (destroyer is meh)

just to name a few more that have not been mentioned

Okay not a great choice of words but I would happily recommended those films to anyone who enjoys a good story

Brokeback Mountain == Universal Appeal?

Teehee. I'll add Super Troopers to the list.

I'm surprised this didn't just get moved into AA. I think "off-topic" means not directly relating to Tankadins. Not pertaining to WoW at all goes in AA.

You did forget one movie I can think of so far.

One of the greatest movies of all time.

Based on the greatest book of all time.

Some say it has changed their life.

It takes place on a planet named Arakis...

also known as Dune.
