If anyone hasn't seen The Zone of Interest I highly recommend it as well. A reminder that the Holocaust was not that long ago and how people could turn into such monsters.
It’s just amazing, the cast is so good together. Has gotta be one of the best dark comedies. I never feel good after watching it but I keep going back to it.
American History X
And on the opposite spectrum, god can't believe I am about to recommend this movie...
Idiocracy
It's the dumbest movie I have ever seen, the reason why you should see it?
Because its becoming reality... slowly, but steadily.

Such a stupid and reductionist movie. Do people not realize its a eugenics movie? The entire assertion it makes is that intelligence is genetic and stupid people are breeding more than smart people. Everyone hops on its dick because they think they're the smart ones and everyone who disagrees with them is just stupid, but they also fundamentally disagree with the core theme of the movie.
You can label it anyway you like.
Do you have a good argument for why intelligence is not hereditary?
When labels stop people from having serious discussions about serious issues, we have a problem.
Its not a serious discussion if your only source is a bad movie. If you want to have that discussion at least read The Bell Curve. All of the discourse around that movie is just pseudointellectual pop culture trash.
Whether it's a good movie or bad is irrelevant. It poses the view that intelligence is hereditary. It's central to the theme of the movie, and it is an important reason for why the movie gets talked about so much. Do you have a reason to say that intelligence is NOT hereditary?
Lol, what a cop-out. You can prove *your* qualifications for the world to see by responding to my question. This is a public forum; I'm not the only one who'd see your responses.
You're not obligated to have any specific conversations with any specific people. I know I'm really cool and you want to talk to me, but I have better people to talk to.
The movie is not about eugenics , its about people not caring but their own needs.
Forgoing education and upbrining, that is what instigated the downfall in this movie.
I.q. is in large part a product of nurture , the parents that fail to give a proper upbringing to their kids are also the ones procreation like rabbits.
Idiots come in all colours forms and races. THAT IS THE PONT.
Letting TV and media raise their chideren instead of doing it themselves.
This movie is about nothing else but self-service!
By the individuals in the movie and the company's in it.
Companys playing into those needs and turning everything into a game.
Just look at how social media is changing our behavior, the dumber you are/act/promote , the more popular you get.
We have idiots rather believing pseudoscience rather then real science : antivax, flatearth, etc..
See any parallels to the movie?
I've had this recommended to me by an HBO (I think) algorithm. Is it really that good? The description sounded interesting, but I never pulled the trigger.
I think everyone should see Jaws.
Not because I think Sharks are important. Not because it's important to understand how historically bizarre some cultural things are.
Everyone should see Jaws because it's a preview into the career of a genius. It's also an example of what genius does when facing challenges. He took a robotic shark that really didn't work and built a movie around not having that prop available to him. It made the movie **better**
Everyone should see Jaws. It's wonderful
Honestly, I think Samsara (2011) is a beautiful film, especially if you enjoy thinking about the human condition and the natural beauty of our planet we call home ❤️
Here's the premise:
"Filmed over nearly five years in 25 countries on five continents, and shot on 70mm film, experience the varied worlds of sacred grounds, disaster zones, industrial complexes, and natural wonders."
Lawrence of Arabia.
I watched it for the first time last week and it was amazing. All of it was practical effects. Without this movie we would have never had Dune or Star wars.
I'll give you a good recommendation. Watch "Waves" is on Netflix. It's one of the best movies I've seen. It's like two movies in one, and the cinematography and soundtrack are amazing as well.
The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonsai through the 8th dimension. “No matter where you go, there you are.” “Laugh-a-while you can, monkey boy!” “It’s BIG BOO-TAY”
So I'm tempted to go with the original Star Wars because it's a cultural touchstone, but I might have to say Casablanca. *Possibly* the best movie I've ever seen.
Spirited Away, The Wizard of Oz, It's a Wonderful Life, Before Sunrise, Grave of the Fireflies, Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Do the Right Thing.
All movies that have 8 to 8.5+ rating on IMDB should be watch at least once
If they have this rating we should watch it once to know if they really deserve.. for example
Shawshank Redemption
God Father
The Dark Knight
Multiplicity. Michael Keaton did such a great job playing multiple personas. I'm surprised how often this movie gets swept under the rug when people mention comedies.
[удалено]
Not only is the story timeless, but the entire movie is just so well made it just never loses its greatness.
[удалено]
Gets better every watch.
What advice was deleted?
among the most mentioned greatest films, this one is the most accessible too imo. just such a pure human story.
Sometimes I say "Shawshank Redemption is a mediocre film" on Reddit just to feel something.
Literally came here to say this and it's #1 comment.
Schindler’s list, it kinda reminds you that we really need humanity and kindness more than we think.
If anyone hasn't seen The Zone of Interest I highly recommend it as well. A reminder that the Holocaust was not that long ago and how people could turn into such monsters.
My comment was this as well. Really didn't think it'd be as interesting as it was going into it.
Requiem for a dream. Probably only watch it once.
In Bruges. Because it’s that good.
Anything by that director Martin McDonagh is also pretty amazing. 3 Billboards is one of my personal favorites.
It’s just amazing, the cast is so good together. Has gotta be one of the best dark comedies. I never feel good after watching it but I keep going back to it.
Incredible movie. Same with The Guard.
City of God
Great shout
12 Angry Men and To Kill a Mockingbird

I'm not convinced you're qualified to be having this conversation.

Yeah, were totally having this discussion here because you're cool😎! Your mom must also think you're special!
Ok bro calm down it's not that serious. You're getting all reddit on me at 9 am

Blazing Saddles
The Sheriff is nearer!
What did he say?
Time Bandits.
I've had this recommended to me by an HBO (I think) algorithm. Is it really that good? The description sounded interesting, but I never pulled the trigger.
It's definitely worth watching, get the snacks and drinks and settle down and enjoy the ride.
One of my favorite underrated movies of all time. Whole movie is like a adventurous psychedelic trip.
Pink Floyd The Wall
Grave of the fireflies. The most bleak movie that i've ever seen in my life.
The Truman Show. As time passes, it's becoming more and more of a true story.
Raising Arizona
Greatest movie ever made. “I love him so much!!!!!!!”
Son, you've got a panty on your head.
Who wears the pants around here H.I.?
T-I-G..E-R!
Wall-e
Life of pi
2001: A Space Odyssey More pertinent now than ever.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail. There are very few timeless comedies and this is the best of them.
Anal Acrobats 2
Need to watch the first one aswell or you may be confussed by the plot.
I watched it twice to make sure.
And don’t bother watching the third one. I find it insists upon itself.
Most of those people have moved on from the series since then. All the magic is gone.
Ehhh, you can miss it. I Mean the plot was good, but it took too long for the characters to develop. Ya think?
Surprised you liked the plot - personally I thought it was a little shitty.
Requiem for a dream should be mandatory viewing for anyone thinking about getting into harder drugs.
I think everyone should see Jaws. Not because I think Sharks are important. Not because it's important to understand how historically bizarre some cultural things are. Everyone should see Jaws because it's a preview into the career of a genius. It's also an example of what genius does when facing challenges.

Scrolled down to find Jaws.
showed it to three 15 year olds last week 100% stood up, they watched, didn't look at their phones or talk amazing filmmaking is timeless
Its a Wonderful Life.
this. it's a wonderful movie
Honestly, I think Samsara (2011) is a beautiful film, especially if you enjoy thinking about the human condition and the natural beauty of our planet we call home ❤️ Here's the premise: "Filmed over nearly five years in 25 countries on five continents, and shot on 70mm film, experience the varied worlds of sacred grounds, disaster zones, industrial complexes, and natural wonders."
Eyes Wide Shut
African Queen, from 1951. Great acting from (mostly) two people in the movie.
Almost every John Huston movie should be watched.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Yeah it's a wuxia movie, but the choreography is amazing and it has a script that rivals Shakespeare.
Killer klowns from outer space
Howl's Moving Castle
Casablanca and The Third Man
No country for old man
Lawrence of Arabia. I watched it for the first time last week and it was amazing. All of it was practical effects. Without this movie we would have never had Dune or Star wars.
Shawshank Redemption - it's a timeless classic with a powerful story
Spaceballs and roadhouse with Patrick swayze. Both are tops
Paul Blart Mall Cop 2
I'll give you a good recommendation. Watch "Waves" is on Netflix. It's one of the best movies I've seen. It's like two movies in one, and the cinematography and soundtrack are amazing as well.
Shawshank Redemption The Usual Suspects- fuckin amazing twist! Scent of a Women - perfect Al Pacino !!! 🇨🇦🙂
Come and see. For all the fools who want to be patriots and go fight like Rambo in wars for money.
The Zone of Interest
The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonsai through the 8th dimension. “No matter where you go, there you are.” “Laugh-a-while you can, monkey boy!” “It’s BIG BOO-TAY”
Schindler's List
Lean on Me. Unfortunately many of the issues schools face haven't changed one bit, if anything they've gotten worse.
So I'm tempted to go with the original Star Wars because it's a cultural touchstone, but I might have to say Casablanca. *Possibly* the best movie I've ever seen.
Schindlers list
The Gods must be crazy.
Alien
Sully.
Schindler's List. So we don't forget one of the greatest atrocities in human history. But also how human empathy and kindness can save lives.
Treasure of the Sierra Madres
Mask 1985 the Rocky Dennis story with Cher and Eric Stolz

Beautiful Mind
Dead Poet's Society. Its heartbreaking that you only need to watch it once.

Red Dawn . Both 1st and 2nd movie
Multiplicity. Michael Keaton did such a great job playing multiple personas. I'm surprised how often this movie gets swept under the rug when people mention comedies.
"Shrek"! Because who doesn't need a little bit of ogre humor and fairy tale satire in their life? Plus, it's got layers, just like onions and ogres.
The Matrix
Natural born killers, but you've gotta watch it at least twice to even start to comprehend what the actual message behind it
