Give me 5 movies I should see before I die!

[Surbey]

I'm not dieing, but if I were, what would you tell me to see?

[MovieMogul]

Norman McLaren's Begone Dull Care

Karel Zeman's Inspiration

The Fleischer Brothers' Snow White (with Betty Boop)

Jan Svankmajer's Dimensions of Dialogue

Frederic Back's The Man who Planted Trees

All Shorts. All Animated. All Brilliant. And cumulatively will take up only 1 hour of your life.

[Sampiro]

Judgment at Nuremberg (I Tivo'd it recently and am enamored anew [I hadn't watched it in many years]- it's a largely forgotten multiple Oscar winning classic with a script so intelligent it makes you debate whether the Nazi judges on trial should really be sentenced to prison and which is most deserving of contempt (the bigoted opportunist who was true to himself while sentencing "race defilers" to death or the legendary ethical judge played by Burt Lancaster who is tortured by his actions but did the same thing). Oscar winning performance by Maximilian Schell, great performances by Montgomery Clift, Judy Garland [yes, really], Spencer Tracy, Werner Klemperer [yes, Col. Klink, and yes, really], Marlena Dietrich, Richard Widmark, others- even William Shatner's inclusion doesn't sink his scenes)

The Lion in Winter- the original Hepburn/O'Toole/Hopkins version- scenery chewing, Christmas hams all around, but still excellent

84 Charing Cross Road- a great "little movie" with Hopkins and Anne Bancroft about two soulmates who never meet and whose letters are only about rare books Hopkins sells and Bancroft buys. More interesting than my description.

The Miracle Worker- forget the Helen Keller jokes or that Patty Duke begat a hobbit, married Gomez and went crazy in some order, it's a great (very low budget) movie

Reefer Madness: the Musical- poses the ethical question t... okay, no ethical questions or great production values, but you get to see Christian Campbell dancing in nothing but a thong for several minutes (with a satyr clad Alan Cumming gyrating behind him no less- I'm guessing Cumming was never once late to the set on those days and that he demanded many many retakes).

[According to Pliny]

The Knack (And How To Get It) (British) Rita Tushingham
Morgan: A Suitable Case for Treatment (British) Vanessa Redgrave, David Warner
Can Hieronymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness? (British) Anthony Newley, Joan Collins, Milton Berle, George Jessel

[Lemur866]

Hiyao Miyazaki's Spirited Away. If you've only got time for one more movie before you die, see this one.

Finding Nemo

Groundhog Day

Big Trouble in Little China

The complete Lord of the Rings extended edition, back to back in one 12 hour marathon.

[Only Mostly Dead]

Of course, we don't know what you have already seen, so expect some damned good movies that you probably already know.



Excalibur (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082348/) - A lush and compelling version of Arthurian legend that actually comes across well on screen.

The Third Man (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041959/) - A noir classic, tense as a zither string. (#45 on the IMDB Top 250)

Hedwig and the Angry Inch (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0248845/) - It's bitter and heartwrenching, it's sweet and endearing, it's quite alternative, and the music kicks ass.

And end it with a Rob Reiner twofer:
The Princess Bride (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093779/) - "Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Revenge. Giants. Monsters. Chases. Escapes. True love. Miracles." (#130 on the IMDB Top 250)

This Is Spinal Tap (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088258/) - The Mockumentary against which all others are bound to come up short.

[Only Mostly Dead]

Reefer Madness: the Musical- poses the ethical question t... okay, no ethical questions or great production values, but you get to see Christian Campbell dancing in nothing but a thong for several minutes (with a satyr clad Alan Cumming gyrating behind him no less- I'm guessing Cumming was never once late to the set on those days and that he demanded many many retakes).
And for us straight boys, the "Little Mary Sunshine" number.

Great choice!

[Baron Greenback]

Trainspotting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trainspotting_(film)) - hedonism and consequences thereof.

LA Confidential (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.A._Confidential) - seedy underbelly.

Aliens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliens_(film)) - Game over, man.

The Dish (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0205873/) - The second most charming film ever made.

Local Hero (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Hero) - The first most charming film ever.

[El Cid Viscoso]

Solaris

[Dr.nuggets]

E.T - a classic. it really makes you wonder why man is so afraid of the unknown?
A Streectcar named Desire - 'Nuff said
The Station Agent - Jsut made me say "wow"
Howl's Moving Castle -More of a kid's movies but the animation is incredible
Phil Collins:The Movie (just kidding!!!)
If you want to die of laughter then watch Airplane

[RikWriter]

Casablanca
Star Wars
Pulp Fiction
Saving Private Ryan
The Lord of the Rings trilogy

[Precambrianmollusc]

I suppose it depends who you are and if it is 5 films that will somehow change what little time is left to you, or just a sweep across the genres. From the later point of view;

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Just an awesome film, seams to make me blub.

Finding Nemo, if there is one film to sit down with kids of 3-4 yo, then this is a good one, nothing too scary and a great story and characterisation. I'd have put ET in here if the wee sproogos were a bit older.

Apollo 13. Not many films make me wish I was there, part of it, just as a small cog in a big wheel , but that film is one. I guess it owes more to real life events than any great doing on behalf of the crew and actors, but hey hoy it works. Beside any film that makes me want to be in Houston must have something going for it. Aliens was almost there on my action category, I gess I had no wish to be there getting dissolved or suffering serious intestinal upset.

Reservoir Dogs. Excellent dialog just punctuated with some of the most graphic violence that hit mainstream cinema at that time, Tim Roth looked like he was in a bit of pain in the back seat of a white leather upholstered car. Scum is also there for shock and dialog of a very brutal nature, but Reservoir Dogs pips it due to Harvey Kietel talking about chopping some bank dudes finger off, followed by hankering for a taco.


I guess it has to be Spinal Tap, Airplane or one of Billy Connolly live stand up (if that counts) for comedy.

Well either an useful list or a sad indictment of my cultural awareness.

Silence of the Lambs (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102926/)

Which (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069293/) version (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0307479/)?

[vivalostwages]

One flew over the cuckoo's nest, Sunset Boulevard, LOTR trilogy, Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan, the Station Agent.

So many more I could name.....

[Stranger On A Train]

Some of you guys are getting kind of esoteric; I mean 84 Charing Cross Road? Soldier of Orange? Morgan: A Suitable Case for Treatment? Our man is dying here, and he only has twelve hours for a movie marathon. This is no time, as much fun as it can be in its own way, for art house pretension and rare, eclectic movies.

Anyway, here's my list (pick any five):
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Rear Window
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love The Bomb
Rashomon
The Third Man
Also rans include (in no particular order) Blade Runner, The Empire Strikes Back, The Bicycle Thief, The Apartment, Sunset Blvd., Some Like It Hot, The Godfather 1+2 (which would make the list if it was only one film...the smashed together remix version doesn't count), Apocalypse Now (theatrical cut), Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Ran, Kagemusha, Chinatown, Five Easy Pieces, Vozvrashcheniye, The 400 Blows, To Kill A Mockingbird, Out Of The Past, The Maltese Falcon, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, The Wild Bunch, 8-1/2, La Dolce Vita, The General, Brazil, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Arsenic and Old Lace, The Sweet Smell of Success, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Triplets of Belleville, Roman Holiday, and Atanarjuat.

On second thought, pay your doctors whatever it costs to keep you alive long enough to see all of these films.

I'm surprised (though perhaps I shouldn't be) to see the Lord of the Rings films recommended with such frequency. I considered them enjoyable popcorn munchers but sort of lacking in thematic depth; not films I'm going to watch over and over again and discuss for detail and interpretation. If I had to pick a single frilm from Peter Jackson's ouerve, it would be Heavenly Creatures, about the Parker-Hulme murder case.

Stranger

[Sapo]

Gattaca

Which (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069293/) version (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0307479/)?Clooooo-ney!

[Shayna]

My top 5 would have to be:

Memento (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209144/)
Dial M For Murder (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046912/) (sorry, but no top 5 list would be complete or accurate without at least 1 Hitchcock flick. I might be willing to swap this for The Birds (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056869/). Might.)
Citizen Kane (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0033467/)
The Scarlet Pimpernel (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0025748/), and, believe it or not, I think I'd have to go with. . .
The original Rocky (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075148/)

Well, if our boy is gonna die after viewing these 5 movies, don't you think he's gonna appreciate if we give him as much time as we can?

[The Scrivener]

I figure you might as well die laughing:

This is Spinal Tap
Airplane!
The Last Dinosaur (strictly a so-bad-it's-campy turkey)
Withnail & I
Flirting With Disaster (and keep it on through the closing credits)

[divemaster]

Ikiru

[Cat Whisperer]

Okay, my five must see before you die:

The Shawshank Redemption
Bull Durham
Office Space
Dances With Wolves
Brokeback Mountain - as a bonus, if you're dying, you won't spend the next four months of your life wondering when you're going to get over this film.

[FilmGeek]

I read this as a list of movies I'D want to watch if I knew I was dying...

Caveman (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082146/)

Sister Act......2 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108147/)
Mortuary (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087746/)
Parents (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098068/)
I kid, I kid...

The infamous Ardred's list:
Highlander (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091203/)
Dune (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087182/)
Excalibur (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082348/)
Ladyhawke (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089457/)
Flash Gordon (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080745/)

My list:
The Usual Suspects (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114814/)
Memento (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209144/)
Being John Malkovich (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120601/)
Moulin Rouge (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0203009/)
Star Wars (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076759/)

[Elendil's Heir]

I'd go with:

Breaker Morant - A simply awesome court-martial and military adventure/drama set during the Boer War. It will stick with you for a long, long time.

2001: A Space Odyssey - Wondrous and moving, far ahead of its time.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy - A brilliant accomplishment, thrilling and fun, even better in some ways than the books (D&R, but I believe it....)

Groundhog Day - Everyone should see it at least once. The smartest, most worldly, philosophical yet funny comedy ever made.

The Incredibles - Pixar practically could have closed up shop after they made this, it's so damn good (but I'm glad they didn't). Funny, amazing, sly and great eye candy. Lives up to its title.

Oh, and just one more....

Raiders of the Lost Ark - The quintessential action/adventure movie, it just gets better with every passing year. (Indy #4 won't even come close, I'm afraid).

Skip episode V. It's not up to snuff.

[Elendil's Heir]

I've heard only the even-numbered ones are any good.

[Revedge]

Repo Man- Surrealistic alien invasion. Interesting philosophical discussions about where we are going to.

All That Jazz- If you are dying, you need to watch the best musical about death.

Saving Private Ryan- SInce you are dying, might as well amp up the body count.

Star Wars- REally high body count when you consider the world of Alderaan being blown to bits by the Death Star and the millions that die when the death star is destroyed.

Hamlet- EVERYBODY dies! Only Leartes is left.

[outlierrn]

[re: "Breaker Morant"]: :smack:

Another fan, perchance?

[Drunky Smurf]

A lot of ones I thought of are already mentioned so here's some different ones. Also I would want to watch funny movies if I were about to die.

Clerks 1 & 2 -Randal is one of the greatest and funniest characters ever. "Porch monkey 4 life"

What about Bob? -Bill Murray is a genius.

Shrek

Team America -the funniest first couple scenes of any movie ever. And puppet porn.

[TimeWinder]

Another fan, perchance?

No, I think he was just commenting on your claim that it would be "with you for a long long time" -- for an OP that claimed imminent death.

[rucciface]

Throw Momma From The Train is good for a couple of laughs.

[DurbBook]

The Gold Rush
Citizen Kane
Young Frankenstein
Fargo
The Passion of Joan of Arc

[The Librarian]

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)
De vierde man (1983)
The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover (1989)
Turks fruit (1973)
C'era una volta il West (1968)

[don't ask]

Each of these I saw without knowing or expecting much. In each case I was thrilled by what I saw.

Terrence Malick's Badlands with young Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek as a sociopath and his girl. Best use of a voice over in any movie. Saw this as the support to something I can't recall at a midnight show.

Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge for the fun and surprises.

Errol Morris's The Thin Blue Line the first truly riveting documentary I can recall.

Cool Hand Luke I had never heard of it and saw it at the Drive In as the support for Easy Rider which I hated. It was 3 years old at the time.

The Coen's Blood Simple their first movie, made on the cheap.

Brassed Off great Brit film with a bit of everything, romance, music, comedy and social comment.

[faithfool]

Oh man, people here gots good tastes.... they've already mentioned Badlands, Apocolypse Now, Memento, Bull Durham, Brokeback Mountain, Pulp Fiction, Amadeus, The Usual Suspects and Chocolat. Kudos to you all, those are definitely excellent choices.

For me though, I'll have to keep my usual parade from the decade that I hold as most perfect; 1970s all the way baby. With that in mind, I submit the following.



For Hilarity and Dark Humor de Jour....

Harold and Maude



For Head Spinning (heh!) Chilling....

The Exorcist



For Pure Wilder Fantasy....

Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory



For The Sap Who Likes Idealistic Musicals (I know, I know)....

Grease



And For Sheer Warp (the already several times mentioned, but I just had to add my voice crying out in the state controlled wilderness) and Pain....

A Clockwork Orange


****************

There are so many more that my heart lurves, like Dog Day Afternoon, 'Night, Mother and say, The Entity or Resurrection that there's just too many to name. So in other words, YOU BETTER NOT KICK THE BUCKET ANYTIME SOON!! You've lots of movies to watch. ;) You just can't miss Cate Blanchett and Johnny Depp and Jennifer Jason Leigh and....

[Frustrated Wonderer]

If you were actually dying, then definetly skip Solaris, it would only speed up the death process.

I'd reccomend the Three Lord of the Rings films, pure magic

Scarface is also a must

and finaly, Pulp Fiction is pure movie perfection.

[Battle Pope]

1. Seven Samurai
2. Lawrence of Arabia
3. Princess Bride
4. Raiders of the Lost Ark
5. Tremors :D

You could also throw Rashomon in there as well.

[LVBoPeep]

Ok.... my sad but relevant 5

1. Trainspotting (SO THRILLED!! that its already been mentioned several times- and so few I know have even heard of it!)

2. Notorious- IMHO the best Alfred Hitchcock. Or the best Ingrid Bergman. Or the best Cary Grant- whatever

3. Star Wars Episode IV? - A New Hope and V - Empire Strikes Back the rest are pretty much crap although both Return and the last of the prequels are so-so.

4. Pick any Jane Austen based flick from the following: BBC version of Pride & Prejudice , Sense & Sensibiliity (the one with Emma Thompson of course) and Persuasion (the one with Ciaran Hinds and Amanda Root)

5. Elizabeth or The Godfather - can't imagine my life with either of these movies not in it- so you should ask for extra pain meds or life support and make sure you watch both.

[Hostile Dialect]

Pulp Fiction

A Clockwork Orange

American Psycho

12 Angry Men (the original)

Psycho

[Shirley Ujest]

Very happy to see mentions of Breaker Morant and Lion in the Winter.

I'd like to add :

Snatch Not a profound movie, but nicely paced and you get to see Brad Pitt's nekkid torso.

Jane Austen films. Any version .

Spongebob there is brilliance in this cartoon.

Buckaroo Bonzai

[Bosda Di'Chi of Tricor]

The Maltese Falcon
The Hidden Fortress
The Incredibles
Duck Soup
Pandora's Box


Ya know, skip Pandora.

Add The Adventures Of Robin Hood, starring Errol Flynn.

A lot of ones I thought of are already mentioned so here's some different ones. Also I would want to watch funny movies if I were about to die.

Clerks 1 & 2 -Randal is one of the greatest and funniest characters ever. "Porch monkey 4 life"

What about Bob? -Bill Murray is a genius.

Shrek

Team America -the funniest first couple scenes of any movie ever. And puppet porn.

Randal is the star of 2! I enjoyed it as much as the original. (I never heard of the phrase "porch monkeys" before the movie. I'm an AA chick.

[lieu]

... and Lion in the Winter. Dearie, that made for a wonderful giggle.

[Musicat]

Some of my favorites that I haven't seen mentioned yet:

Bagdad Cafe

Mixed Nuts

Hunt for Red October

The Fortune Cookie

[gigi]

SolarisWhat, do you want him to kill himself before the next movie?

[buns3000]

Brokeback Mountain - as a bonus, if you're dying, you won't spend the next four months of your life wondering when you're going to get over this film. Although you probably won't anyway as long as you are straight and male.

[Miller]

Glitter, Gigli, Alien Versus Predator, Battlefield: Earth, and The Avengers.

After that, dying won't seem so bad.

[buns3000]

Glitter, Gigli, Alien Versus Predator, Battlefield: Earth, and The Avengers.

After that, dying won't seem so bad. Alternatively, if you haven't felt motivated to top yourself after watching those, I'd suggest following them up with Moulin Rouge.

[Lust4Life]

Highlander 2
Starflight 1
Titanic
Robin Hood(Costners version)
Navy Seals

After being forced to watch them all the way through Death wouldn't seem so bad.

[Lust4Life]

Highlander 2
Starflight 1
Titanic
Robin Hood(Costners version)
Navy Seals

After being forced to watch them all the way through Death wouldn't seem so bad.

Apologies ,somebody expressed the sentiment earlier. :o

[octothorpe]

Metropolis
Les Miserables - (1935 w/ Fredric March and Charles Laughton)
Casablanca
To Kill a Mockingbird
Blade Runner

As an old school movie-goer, i don't think it's proper to show the feature without showing an animated short beforehand. As such, the following cartoons should be included:

The Zoot Cat (Tom & Jerry - Tom's bid to impress kitty fatale with a zoot suit clipped from a hammock, Jerry gets the girl in the end)
Solid Serenade (Tom and Jerry - Tom attempts to woo kitten with a slap-bass rendition of Is you Is or Is You Ain't (My Baby)
Hillbilly Hare (Warner Brothers - Bugs calls a square dance for the Coys and Martins)
Three Little Bops (Warner Brothers - Three hep shoats blow the bebop while the Big Bad Wolf tries to join the jam)
Saturday Evening Puss (Tom and Jerry - While the mistress is away, Tom gathers the alley cats for for a raucous party to the accompaniment of Darktown Strutter's Ball. Jerry rats them out and the mistress steams home to put the boot to the puss.

[Hostile Dialect]

Three Little Bops (Warner Brothers - Three hep shoats blow the bebop while the Big Bad Wolf tries to join the jam)

Is this description in English?

[octothorpe]

From The Free Dictionary (http://www.thefreedictionary.com)

Shoat - a young pig
Hep - variant of Hip (very fashionable or stylish)
Blow - (music) to sound
Bebop - an early form of modern jazz
Jam - (music) to participate in a jam session

While not the Queen's English, it is in keeping with the theme of the cartoon...
