films that should be compulsary

I feel the original Star Wars trilogy should be required viewing, or at the very least the first movie. So that whenever you're at a party or something, or god forbide a date or something ... you never run into people that say "Oh, I've never watched it." And then sort of act like its some sort of cultural phenom that other people are into, be it true or not that they haven't seen it or aren't really aware that it exists.

I don't really know if there's some sort of pop culture correlation that equates to it or not. I guess it'd be like randomly talking about Friends or something and then being that person saying, "oh, what's that?" or I suppose I've been in situations where people have asked me about NFL Football and I just give them this blank stare like they are fucking aliens. Or NHL Hockey with certain members of my family, where the expectation is I should know what team is at the top of the division or something.

I suppose for Film buffs it'd be like running into people who don't know who Kubrick is or never watched Pulp Fiction.

Click to expand...

The Trek vs. SW thing I can handle, I liked TNG and watched it regularly. Its the void of pop culture that bugs me, or the fake distancing of it because its dorky.
 
a bit of seventies porn wouldnt hurt either compared to what the internet show the young uns now as they do look at it.at least it would show what people really look like
 
A Clockwork Orange. (get it??)

But seriously, a lot of Kubrick's work is pretty mandatory.
 
my vote would be for 'my dinner with andre', a meditation on life, filmed in such a simple way.
 
I am struggling now to keep this thread going

maybe cool hand luke though
 
There will be blood- Daniel day Lewis. Epic proportions!

Creed is supposed to be amazing, getting 4 to 5 star reviews. It's out in the US already but not out in the UK till after Christmas.
 
For me Pulp Fiction is mandatory. Anyone who has not seen it should rectify this immediately.

Fight Club is another one.
 
I think the only Tarantino flick I like less than From Dusk Til' Dawn is Death Proof. Reservoir Dogs, Inglorious Basterds and Jackie Brown are all much, much better than From Dusk Til' Dawn imo.

Dr Strangelove is a good pick though! That was the flick which made me realise really old movies can still be really good, I used to hate anything in black and white.
