I have decided (The what movies should Rilla buy thread)

I can't believe I read this whole thing and didn't see:

S- Summer School

for shame

B - Bambi
J - Jungle Book
S - Snow White and the Seven Dwarves

FYP.

Amazing that I only liked one movie of Boondock's ...

Lefou may suck at poker with all of his minraises, but he has awesome taste in movies. Smile

I credit him for reminding me of a bunch of these.

I'll bold the ones you must have, you can choose others for the rest, if you can think of better ones.

# - 2001: A Space Odyssey
A - Amadeus (American Beauty and American History X are acceptable only after Amadeus is purchased)
B - Blade Runner - complete lock, any other movie title is incorrect
C - Casablanca (Chinatown or A Clockwork Orange would be it if Casablanca started with another letter ... Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and Clerks are only acceptable if you already own the above three, all of which are damn near perfect)
D - Die Hard + Dr. Strangelove (I don't care that that's two, don't make me choose between one of the best Kubrick movies and the best action movie ever made - Donnie Darko is only acceptable if you already own the above two, but I do own all three)
E - The Empire Strikes Back (not that into Star Wars, but its the best available - Eyes Wide Shut is a close second ... I can't believe a Star Wars movie is better than a Kubrick movie, but its only because its the best Star Wars movie and one of Kubrick's least good ...)
F - A Fish Called Wanda (Fargo is more than acceptable ... similar case with Die Hard and Dr. Strangelove - I respect the second more and love both, but I'm chosing my favorites - Full Metal Jacket is most overrated Kubrick movie to me, but its still has many great moments, and is also very worthy)
G - The Godfather - complete lock, Rilla actually picked the right one ... stunning (second place is obviously the Godfather Part II)
H - TheHustler (I was a bit disappointed by it, but not a ton of options - if I were buying, I'd probably go with Hannah and Her Sisters, even though I haven't seen it)
I - It's a Wonderful Life
J - The Jerk (for lack of a better option - Jaws doesn't do it for me, like with most Speilburg movies) - credit to Fnord
K - Kill Bill, Volume 1 and 2 - Absolute ridiculous lock, especially on a bad letter
L - Life of Brian (Monty Python)
M - Mulholland Drive (Magnolia, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Moulin Rouge, and Manhattan are more than acceptable - great letter)
N - National Lampoon's Animal House (North by Northwest is very acceptable)
O - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Old School is a decent choice after buying this)
P - Pulp Fiction (Princess Bride is acceptable if you already have Pulp Fiction)
Q - Quiz Show - Love this movie, so underrated.
R - Raging Bull - DeNiro's performance is my pick for the best of all time.
S - The Shining (the Shawshank Redemption and Silence of the Lambs are close)
T - Taxi Driver - complete lock (The Terminator is acceptable only after purchasing Taxi Driver)
U - The Usual Suspects (not all that great, but I'm not a big fan of the rest of the U movies that I can think of)
V - Vertigo (a bad letter, but I don't even need to settle here, this would be the choice for the majority of letters - its phenominal)
W - The Wizard of Oz (amazingly I haven't seen it, but the next best I could think of was When Harry Met Sally ...)
X - X-men (I slightly prefered the first one - neither are all that great)
Y - Y Tu Mama Tambien (I haven't seen it, but I've heard good things, and there really are no other good choices - Young Guns sucks and I really don't like Mel Brooks movies)
Z - Zoolander (again, no good choices)

Start buying again Rilla, and make absolutely sure to get all of the bolded ones. Smile

O= Office Space

(how did I become the first to post this???)

He's a gamb0ling man so the answer is clear

Well, you still have good taste in movies.

I thought of a better S. The Seven Samurai. Filmmaking at its finest.

LeFou's list is really good. I also liked Michaels. So I figured I'd throw my own list out there.

# 12 monkeys
Animal Crackers
Big Lebowski, The
Cinema Paradisio
Dr. Strangelove
Evil Dead
Finding Nemo
Godfather
Holy Grail; Monty Python
I am Sam
Jacobs Ladder
Kentucky Fried Movie, The
Life is Beautiful
Mallrats
Napoleon Dynamite
Oh Brother Whereart Thou
Pulp Fiction
Q
Raising Arizona
Star Wars (any and all of them)
The Who: Tommy
Unbreakable
Vertigo
The Wall, Pink Floyd
X
Yellow Submarine, The Beatles
Zoolander

"I" is the toughest one, in my opinion.

How 'bout Invasion of the Body Snatchers?

It's Potty Time
I'm Gonna Git You Sucka!

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom?

Ugh, the Temple of Doom is awful too. Looks like the best I is Its a Wonderful Life to me.

I like Humph's choice for L best, Life is Beautiful. ... Hmm, sensing a theme ...

Mallrats though ... ick.

I also change my A to Adaptation, with Amadeus being a very close 2nd.

Indiana Jones - Temple of doom was a cool flick back then.

Irrevesible is another pick for I

Ichi The Killer?

I'm Gonna Git You Sucka!

He OGed man!

Just got through American History X.

That movie made this whole list worth it. Great movie.

-'rilla

Also, I noticed no one mentioning City of God.

You must buy this movie for yourself. It's just a better version of scarface.

-'rilla

I can't believe how long it took you pussies to mention Pulp Fiction! And honestly, I didn't like queen of the damned at all..

Heres my list, some have been mentioned, and some are my personal favorites.

Godzilla 2000
Rugrats movie
Dracula 2000
Napoleon Dynomite
Edward Scissorhands
Kiss Me Guido
Toy Story 1 & 2
Just kidding!

Heres the real list:
The first few have something in common

Pulp Fiction
Kill Bill 1
Kill Bill 2
From Dusk til Dawn
Desperado
Once Upon A Time in Mexico
Reservoir Dogs
The Godfather(s)
Heat
The Professional
Any Given Sunday
Usual Suspects
Terminator 2
They Live
The old star wars movies, not the new retard ones
Scarface
Braveheart
Batman Begins
Memento
Excorcist
Gladiator

As far as I:

I've got friends who live by the book Ishmal. They say the movie Instict is great because it conveys the same message.

How did I miss this thread before? Damn. I love movies. Here's my list anyway, and I've leaned toward a bunch of slightly weird shit that probably isn't already in this thread, just to give some alternatives.

Aguirre, the Wrath of God
Bottle Rocket
Conversation, the
Dawn of the Dead (original version)
Eraserhead
Fog of War
Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, the
Haunting, the (original version)
Innocents, the
Jerk, the
King Kong
Legend of Drunken Master, the
Meet the Feebles
Night of the Hunter
Once Upon a Time in the West
Planet of the Apes (original version)
Quigley Down Under (OK, not a great movie, at all; but I couldn't think of any other Q's, and I have a soft spot for this one... great Saturday afternoon movie)
Re-animator
Spirited Away
Thing, the (remake, although I love them both... remake gets points for being disgusting)
Unforgiven
Vanishing, the (original version)
War of the Worlds (original version)
X... uh... got nothin'
Young Frankenstein
Zombie

Top Secret
Memento
Life of Brian

T is for Tombstone
F is for Full Metal Jacket

B - Blade runner
D - Das Boot
F - Fargo
I - Infernal affairs
L - Lord of the rings
O - Once upon a time in the west
P - Pulp Fiction
R - Ran (Kurosawas nr1)
T - Trainspotting

You need some zombie love.
these are already gone but
D- Dead Alive (best Peter Jackson movie ever, also bloodiest movie in cinematic history)
E - Evil dead 2 (better than 1)

Still hope even though there have been many good suggestions for the same letter.
S - Shawn of the dead

Oh yes last minute add-on. Steve McQueen is a badass. Cincinnati Kid was a great choice, I gotta see if its gonna be on in HD again anytime soon.

Everyone seems to suggest Evil Dead but I looked at the little video previews on imdb and the first one doesnt look that good at all.

What am I missing?

I bought Fargo for F and didn't like it. It was the first movie to do me wrong so far.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind was alright the first time, but much better the second time through.

I bought Cinnci Kid for C but ended up watched Crash at a friends house and it was pretty good. So I'm gonna pretend like Crash was my C.

Movies en Route are Godfather and Dog Soilders.

-'rilla

You didn't like "Fargo," 'rilla? Jeez. That's a classic. Do you like the Coens at all? Other movies of theirs that I love: Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink, Blood Simple, O Brother Where Art Thou, The Man Who Wasn't There, and The Big Lebowski. All brilliant. But maybe not to all tastes.

Hope you enjoy Dog Soldiers, that's a good Halloween movie. The monsters are pretty creepy and effective given the movie's small budget.
