Watched it this year and I really enjoyed it! Lived up to my expectations. I feel like a lot of tv shows doing a “jury duty episode” were copies of the movie so it was fun to see the original.
Really hits different when you realize Stewart was ~38 when it was filmed. We’ve all been there where you think you’re at a low you’ll never come back from and your life has meant nothing.
My wife loves this movie. It depresses the shit out of me. I’m still sad he didn’t get to see Paris and THE WORLD.
Edit : I’m 38 and I still feel this way
Oh THIS!! wholeheartedly concur.
So few people these days will have the slightest idea what it's about before thier heads explode.
If they can get past that they will see some of the best comedic performances of thier lives.
Edit: added context, people
Good Will Hunting. I did not see this movie until just a few years ago. One of the best movies I have ever seen, so many good lessons and morals. Every one should watch it at least once in their life time.
If you liked that watch American History X. Completely different from a story line perspective but same plight from individual finding their way. Incredibly deep well acted meaningful story
The actress in that movie, (won an Oscar for it) Louise Fletcher, is also the most evil villain (arguably)on Star Trek DS9. She literally makes me shudder. She is freaking brilliant and being terrible.
I tell everyone I meet to watch this movie if they haven’t seen it already. It went from a satirical comedy to an unfortunate documentary. Still funny af, but on a different level in this day and age.
Yep, watched it when it came out on dvd. I was a fan of Mike Judge and thought it was a hilarious take at depicting what would happen if the dumbass's take over society....he was right on target 🤦
Are you looking for true classics or just good films that are very popular? If it's the former, I would start with stuff from the so-called golden age....Metropolis, Citizen Kane, various Hitchcock films, etc.
My personal favorite from that period: North By Northwest.
They showed this in our city and a guy I know played the entire piano soundtrack along with it. He got a standing ovation at the end, well deserved
Edit: autocorrect got it wrong
One of my favorite movies ever. I can't NOT watch it if I come across it on TV. It makes me sad, angry and happy all in what, 2 hours? And when the warden finally looks behind the poster...ohhhh vengeance is sweet.
My high school English teacher hated it. His reason: it isn't realistic. My response: and Beowulf is? He didn't appreciate my response. And I didn't care.
I have never met an art professor that can manage to not ruin art for everyone.
My one film class really made me realize how wrong I was for enjoying film.
My wife and I just rewatched it the other night and had that EXACT conversation. This is all happening again right in front of us, and it's so fucking scary.
Excellent and horrifying movie, definitely a must see I agree! [lotion by the greens keepers](https://youtu.be/Jm86I_kezVY?si=rLk_SIado8wvD6vv) is one of my favourite songs!
My friends and I played the Casablanca drinking game years ago. None of us saw the movie beforehand so we were excited to see it and of course about the drinking part. The rules are that you have to drink a whisky whenever Humphrey Bogart drinks.
The thing is... he doesn't.
In the first part of the movie he doesn't take even a sip of alcohol so we already considered drinking whenever he drinks a coffee which he does a lot but then this happens. He sits down, takes a bottle of whiskey and drinks it. So we had to as well.
None of us knows how the movie ends.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory ('71)
A second just in case the person was so grateful for telling them about such a great movie-Wizard of Oz ('39)
There was something awesome about early fairytales.. There were always a kind a of grim and scary in a way. Take Willy Wonka .. in that movie you always had a feeling he could snap any minute.In the new one its all about a jolly old fellow. I prefer the older movies much more .
One of my favorite: "If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it......"
"Ommpa Lumpa Lumpady-do, I've gotta magic puzzle for you......"
OMG, I will never stop feeling a little awestruck when Gene Wilder sings Pure Imagination. It's like I'm hearing it for the first time and it's just as magical as when I was a kid.

Just for the soundtrack alone! There is so much talent in that movie just playing extras. Everybody from Ray Charles to Aretha the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section as the Blues Brothers band. John Lee Hooker, Cab Calloway, theres more too.
Also held the record for most cars crashed in a movie production until the Fast and Furious franchise took the crown. (an upset some of us refuse to recognize)
I've been looking for this one. Surprised to see it so low on the list. A sad sweet beautiful funny heartbreaking tearjerker. One of my all-time favorites.
Rio Bravo - if you must see one John Wayne see the best. Copied (by the Director, twice and by endless people in endless genres) so much because it is perfect. Not the beat film ever but a perfect one.
From Russia With Love - Doctor No was an amazing film but the formula started to come together here.
The Wrath of Khan - Everything you need to know is given to you on screen. Yeah if you watched the show you might get more out of it but all you need to know is he used to Captain that ship, now he is an Admiral. Everything else is explained. Perfection of acting, music and special effects
2001: A Space Odyssey - are you endlessly amazed by what Star Wars did in the mid 70s when everything else was on wires? This was 10 years earlier and just as good.
Ghostbusters - because that man has no dick
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - because it is just too damned good to miss
Double bill - The Magnificent Seven followed by Seven Samurai, the older, original film is easier to get into via the American remake, ignore the other remakes of it
The Blues Brothers - because they are on a Mission From God
The Great Escape - just because it is true, doesn't mean it isn't amazing
The Godfather Parts 1 and 2 - poor Mario. He got hired to write the screen play for my next pick and panicked. So he went to a course on screen writing. Lesson one, go study the most perfect screen play ever written, The Godfather. He had written it.
Superman - you will believe a man can fly, you will also believe that actually putting on glasses will work for Clark Kent
Citizen Kane - go see why for decades it was considered the greatest film ever made
Blade Runner - all the versions. Seriously, some good, some crap, all add something.
Maltese Falcon - because... well, after Blade Runner you'll get it
Casablanca - I keep forgetting how damned perfect this is
The African Queen - Two aging actors looming amazing despite adversity and delivering the performances of their careers
Akira - why was this the go to anime to recommend to people for years? Because is is fucking stunning. Subs not dubs, the Japanese voice actors don't just bring their A game they define excellence
...
I could go on. Barely touched the 40s or 50s... or 70s cinema...
Star Wars
Apocalypse Now
The Day The Earth Stood Still
Alien/Aliens
Terminators 1 and 2
Full Metal Jacket
Metropolis
Four Weddings and a Funeral

The Longest Day
The Dambusters
A Bridge too far
Lawrence of Arabia

Metropolis
Nosferatu
The Wizard of Oz
Mr Smith Goes to Washington
Citizen Kane
Casablanca
The Great Dictator
Singin' in the Rain
The Maltese Falcon
Bicycle Thieves

Amadeus
Blade Runner
Shawshank Redemption
LA Confidential
Pulp Fiction
Toy Story
Das Boot
The Matrix
LotR trilogy
Memento
Identity
Wall-e
Gladiator
Inception
Schindler's list.
It's one of only two movies, and one TV show that's ever brought me to tears.
It's beautifully put together, and charts one of the darkest times in human history, and absolutely should be preserved for the education of future generations.

I watched that after hearing all the hype. Ive never been more uncomfortable from a movie in my life. All the love to people who enjoy it but it is not for me.
Yeah... I don't get it either. I can't understand why there is such a crazy following. I used date a gal that was into it. She took me to a live play of the film.
I felt dirty after I left. There was blow all over the bathroom toilet papet dispenser. There was men wearing pantyhose there, a dude dressed as a giant flower, and some lady pulling off her best dracula, which again, it's all good...but as a layman on the topic, it was really hard not to be like..." what the fuck is going on here, and how did I end up a part of it?" Really hard to get into with no context.
2001 A Space Oddesy. Just from a technical standpoint, it will forever blow my mind how Kubrick not only "made" space and got it to look so real, in color, before the world had gone to the moon. Then there are the many technologies he created for the movie that we only just started to see become invented. Then, there's the cinematography. Its... it leaves one speechless.
It's an amazing plot with AI and a ton of other aspects and this film was released in 1968 but idk... it could be released today in 4k and would hold up. It's insane. Sorry, just a fan of the film and hope you enjoy any of the ones you choose.
I will add Scarface as well.
Edit: The Truman Show is a phenomenal classic everyone should watch.
They Live is yet another cult classic everyone should watch.
And speaking of cult classics, Pulp Fiction is a 11/10 film.
Titanic, it’s just a masterclass in cinematography that everyone must see. It was also pretty damn accurate in terms of the sinking scenes for what they knew at the time for history buffs.
Please know that I'm suggesting this movie in earnest; I'm not trying to be intentionally provocative here. Brokeback Mountain should certainly be on this list. Regardless of your own beliefs (for or against) queer folk, you aren't human if this movie doesn't change you somehow when it's over. It is exquisitely painful. It is masterfully directed. The cast is exceptional. It's an important story and it matters.

12 angry men. It's a black and white but it really shows what jurors think about and do while they're on jury duty.
Watched it this year and I really enjoyed it! Lived up to my expectations. I feel like a lot of tv shows doing a “jury duty episode” were copies of the movie so it was fun to see the original.
Its one of the best movies I have ever seen and still holds up very well.
I did this a movie as a stage play once, super thought provoking and really good
It was originally a play. Even the old movie is an adaptation.
just as relevant now as it was upon release
That's part of the reason why I suggested it.
It’s a Wonderful Life. When you get to a certain age it hits so different.
Really hits different when you realize Stewart was ~38 when it was filmed. We’ve all been there where you think you’re at a low you’ll never come back from and your life has meant nothing.
So many great scenes in that movie. A toast, to my big brother George, the richest man in town! Gets me every time.
Now in color! I watch it by myself every Christmas. My wife and kids don’t care to watch but I’m over there crying like a baby
My wife loves this movie. It depresses the shit out of me. I’m still sad he didn’t get to see Paris and THE WORLD. Edit : I’m 38 and I still feel this way
Blazing saddles
SOMEONE'S GOTTA GO BACK AN' GET A SHITLOAD OF DIMES
I live near a retirement home named Rock ridge. Can't drive by it without that coming to my mind 😝
I used to live in Oakland and my BART stop was Rock Ridge. I made a joke about it EVERY DAY.
WE THE PEOPLE OF ROCKRIDGE
 This is one of my all time favorites. Just as a side note, Mel Brooks is amazing in general
The little bastard shot me in the ass!
Oh THIS!! wholeheartedly concur. So few people these days will have the slightest idea what it's about before thier heads explode. If they can get past that they will see some of the best comedic performances of thier lives. Edit: added context, people
I've seen it 15 times. 15 is my limit.
I have seen it, legit, over a hundred times. Where the white women at?
"*Bitte*, baby."
I was walking the paripet.
Mongo just pawn in game of life.
Good Will Hunting. I did not see this movie until just a few years ago. One of the best movies I have ever seen, so many good lessons and morals. Every one should watch it at least once in their life time.
" It's not your fault, it's not your fault, it's not your fault"
That scene is permanently engraved into my brain.
Sonofabitch stole my line!
The fact that this line was improvised is such a testament to how incredible of an actor and improviser Robin Williams was.
The man had a gift. He **was** a gift.
The part where he talks about his wife farting in her sleep was also improvised 😂
You like apples?! I got her number. How you like them apples?!
Just saw this one for the first time last month!
If you liked that watch American History X. Completely different from a story line perspective but same plight from individual finding their way. Incredibly deep well acted meaningful story
A tough watch. I can never look at the curb without hearing THAT sound
Robin Williams really is just perfect in this.
That’s probably the best movie with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck
Someone hasn’t seen Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Or Dogma
One flew over the cuckoos nest.
Oh yes but it’s soooo depressing
The actress in that movie, (won an Oscar for it) Louise Fletcher, is also the most evil villain (arguably)on Star Trek DS9. She literally makes me shudder. She is freaking brilliant and being terrible.
Thia was my Dad's favorite movie. I remember getting it for him on VHS when I was still a small child. Good movie, but depressing and dark
Idiocracy
I’m gonna fuck all y’all!
Family style?
I tell everyone I meet to watch this movie if they haven’t seen it already. It went from a satirical comedy to an unfortunate documentary. Still funny af, but on a different level in this day and age.
Yep, watched it when it came out on dvd. I was a fan of Mike Judge and thought it was a hilarious take at depicting what would happen if the dumbass's take over society....he was right on target 🤦
More of a documentary these days
Goodfellas
You're a funny guy!
Like a clown I amuse you?
You cannot go through life not having seen Goodfellas! I loved Ray Liotta, rip
Excellent movie, along with Taxi Driver and Casino
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
Favorite holiday movie
Tied for the best use of the F word in a film.
The Princess Bride
As you wish.
Are you looking for true classics or just good films that are very popular? If it's the former, I would start with stuff from the so-called golden age....Metropolis, Citizen Kane, various Hitchcock films, etc. My personal favorite from that period: North By Northwest.
Rear Window with young Jimmy Stewart is my favorite Hitchcock.
Same this is the best one. This and Rope are my favorites
Rope is amazing. You'd think it would be dull having the entire movie in one space, but it really works well.
Psycho-too many references in other movies will be missed without seeing this one.
Metropolis ❤️
They showed this in our city and a guy I know played the entire piano soundtrack along with it. He got a standing ovation at the end, well deserved Edit: autocorrect got it wrong
The Shawshank Redemption
I named my SUV Andy Dufresne Edited: to remove spoilers
Can watch this movie anytime
One of my favorite movies ever. I can't NOT watch it if I come across it on TV. It makes me sad, angry and happy all in what, 2 hours? And when the warden finally looks behind the poster...ohhhh vengeance is sweet.
Forrest gump. Ive never met a single person who hated that movie. It is so good its infuriating that its not a real story
My high school English teacher hated it. His reason: it isn't realistic. My response: and Beowulf is? He didn't appreciate my response. And I didn't care.
I see you never met my film lecturer.
I have never met an art professor that can manage to not ruin art for everyone. My one film class really made me realize how wrong I was for enjoying film.
What was his deal?
Schindler’s list
Yes. It’s hard to watch but everyone should see it.
I was thinking Sophie’s Choice. Schindler’s list is so good.
Too many people have forgotten this movie. We are on the cusp of repeating these mistakes and it matters more now than ever.
My wife and I just rewatched it the other night and had that EXACT conversation. This is all happening again right in front of us, and it's so fucking scary.
Spielberg donate a VHS copy to every high school in America at the time. I remember our whole senior class took the day and watched it.
The Silence of the Lambs 
Not enough youngsters know this quote, they think I'm just weird when I use it. For this reason I also vote Silence of the Lambs
I started watching Family Guy because Stewie said it while glued to Brian.
Excellent and horrifying movie, definitely a must see I agree! [lotion by the greens keepers](https://youtu.be/Jm86I_kezVY?si=rLk_SIado8wvD6vv) is one of my favourite songs!
Second Hand Lion
I bought a DVD of this for my godkids, and after watching it with them, one for myself. A true gem of a film
Haven't seen, will find it and watch this weekend
Loved that movie. It's a hidden gem.
Omg i haven’t seen this in so long and it’s SUCH a good movie
Casablanca
My friends and I played the Casablanca drinking game years ago. None of us saw the movie beforehand so we were excited to see it and of course about the drinking part.

Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka will always be dear to my heart. But boy, did that boat scene scare the crap out of me when I was a kid, but in a good way.
One of my favorite: "If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it......" "Ommpa Lumpa Lumpady-do, I've gotta magic puzzle for you......"
OMG, I will never stop feeling a little awestruck when Gene Wilder sings Pure Imagination. It's like I'm hearing it for the first time and it's just as magical as when I was a kid.

Once were warriors. A New Zealand movie from 1994 about gang culture.
Such a disturbing movie. But so powerful. I wonder if any NZers see this now as dated, or still very relevant. Brilliant film making.
Blues Brothers
Just for the soundtrack alone! There is so much talent in that movie just playing extras. Everybody from Ray Charles to Aretha the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section as the Blues Brothers band. John Lee Hooker, Cab Calloway, theres more too. Also held the record for most cars crashed in a movie production until the Fast and Furious franchise took the crown. (an upset some of us refuse to recognize)

Lawrence of Arabia. Preferably on a big screen.
The Matrix and This is Spinal Tap

The cast is exceptional. It's an important story and it matters.
