Mini-Movie Meme

[ruyu]

I'm a huge movie fan, not geekishly so, but I'm up there. ^^ I'm always in search of new movies to watch, new or old, indie or mainstream, English or Foreign. I'm open to anything except horror really, but I'll watch it if you rec it.

With that being said I'm proposing a mini-meme of sorts. I'll post my list of the top movies I think everyone should see before they die (or go blind, I suppose). In return I hope you (mah supa kool F-list) will take my recommendations and give me yours in return. 

Ruyu's Top Ten Movie List (in no particular order and grouping sequels and trilogies together as one)

• Fight Club
• Ghost in the Shell (1995)
• Elizabeth Town
• Boondock Saints I & II
• Dead Poets Society
• Matrix Trilogy
• Dune (original and Si-Fi versions)
• Wimbledon
• Singin' in the Rain
• The Cell
• Pride & Prejudice (2005)
• The Holiday
• Chronicles of Riddick (Pitch Black not included)
• Stigmata (for visual content and not religious content)

I could put many more, but this will suffice for now. Please rec anything, just one or a pagefull - I welcome it all. I'll even take youtube videos that you think I should see, just provide a link in the comment.

Cheers guys!

Oh, Fight Club in my heart <3
I think that I've seen a fair amount of movies, but nearly none of those O_O makes me wannt to have weekly movie night again U_U

but, uhm, my top. (I'm guessing you've seen most of them cause they're all classic - at least here xD)
Snatch - you'll see Brad Pitt at his best side, really
Lock, stock and two smoking barrels - same writer as Snatch <3
Pineapple Express - for the script, you'll die of laughter
Hot Fuzz - same writer as Pineapple. + the finall fight man xD
Trainspotting - IDK, I just like it <3
Hair - best musical evah'

and now I can't come up with anymore... but, Kid's story (animatrix). I havn't seen it yet, I've just seen a clip from it, and it seems to be all glory :D

Fight Club is my Holy Bible, Tyler Durden is my GOD!

LOL. I haven't seen Snatch, Lock, Stock and Smoking Barrels, or Trainspotting! And yes Pineapple Express is pure WIN! Hot Fuzz - I think of that guy getting speared through the chin at the end - ewwww! ^^ I was hesitant to watch Hair, but it turned out much funnier than I expected, and made me develope a small crush on Zac Efron.

Thank you soooo much for sharing! XD

Those tree go in the same spirit, sort of.

Nah, I was thinking of the fight with the old xD Maybe that wasn't in the end - was along time since I saw Hot Fuzz.

And how can you develop a crush on Zac Efron by watching Hair? xD High School Musical is so no not the same thing >_> Should you crush on anyone it should be Treat Williams - but then again, he's old now... a that ending, so sad! Y_Y

No prob' If you see Snatch, you have to tell me what you think! It's probably my absolute fav <3

LOL. I confused it with "Hair Spray" instead of just "Hair". That's the one Zac Efron's in, my bad! Lol. I've never seen any of the High School Musicals. ^^

I'll definitely let you know! XD
