What movie should I watch next?

For you who aren't aware of my "next years resolution" for watching a film a day for a year my thread is here:

http://www.movieforums.com/community...ewpost&t=34301

What I am asking for you guys to do if you're willing is to give me suggestions for new films to watch and I will consider them and possibly add them to my watchlist.

Also what film on my watchlist should I watch next?

http://www.imdb.com/user/ur47247809/...f_=nv_wl_all_0

As long as you don't watch as many films as me I'm not bothered.

PS. Anything below 90 minutes would be perfect.

iRhys, if I had to recommend one movie to you, it would be Strange Days, from 1995. I pick that one of course because I love it, but also because I'm not sure a lot of people have seen it.

The watchlist does not show up.

I think it would be a good idea to get into foreign films and discover different genres and film movements in order to expand your movie knowledge. It's very time-consuming, but if you are as interested in world cinema as I am, it can be very addictive and enjoyable. The thing is I don't really know how many films have you actually seen and how far did you go with watching something else than 'contemporary films actually screened at cinema'. I will post a link to my RYM page, though. https://rateyourmusic.com/~mrminio Maybe you will find some films that interest you in my ratings.

Anything and everything in my Top 100. (link in my signature)

Also Mary and Max. which would have been really high in my top 100 if I'd seen it sooner.

I'll add it. Thanks! It looks interesting. Released on my birth year too.


Foreign cinema is great and low-budget non-hollywood films can be great too. I'm open for everything. I am hopefully going to be doing film studies at university depending on my grades. I'll take a look. Thanks.

Watchlist was private thanks for telling me. It's now public.

Great. I'll take a look. Thank You!

Films in bold I haven't seen and will add to my list. Thanks!
It's probably bad that I haven't seen some of these yet cause they are all huge lol.

P.S - I may have seen the others but will add it anyway.

Where's the comedies?

Have you got any suggestions? I've seen a lot of good comedies already and there are so many trashy ones to sort through.

I love comedy.

Thanks for the suggestions added some more to watchlist.

This is what order I would go in, based on the ones I've seen on your watch list:

American Psycho
The Godfather Trilogy
Se7en
The Shining
Shutter Island
Memento
A Clockwork Orange
Django Unchained
Rear Window

I want to recommend 2001, but there's a good possibility that you won't enjoy it. You need a certain mind set and expectations before you tackle it.

Thanks for the input. American Psycho seems a good idea for a movie to watch next or at least soon.

It just depends if I feel like watching another Oscar nom or not. I would like to see at least all the feature films before the winners are announced.

I'd stick to kill a mockingbird high on your list.
One of the best book to film adaptations I've ever seen.

As promised some less known(not less good)movies:
Primer(2004,77min)
The Insider(1999,157min)
Shaft(2000,99min)
Batman(1989,126min)
Triangle(2009,99min)
Oldboy(2003,120min)
The Machinist(2004,101min)
Barton Fink(1991,116min)
...

Thanks I'll not it, the actual watchlist isn't ordered. I will be watching American Psycho first today though.

Titles in bold I added to my watchlist. Thanks. +1 REP

Have to tried filling in any of the lists on here? Just a thought.

Some movies you may enjoy, based on your favorites list:




I am sure you have seen at least one of them. Just going by your favorites it seems that you and I would have similar interest in film. Who knows.

Free up 4 hours and watch Lawrence of Arabia on the biggest screen you can. Seriously, as introductory, purely cinematic experiences go, I don't think it can be beaten. I'm pretty sure seeing that and Gone with the Wind on back to back days was what cemented my obsession with the art form.
