Expand My Horizons
Ikrik:
I love movies. My DVD collection is kinda big and fairly impressive. It is split into two sections: Asian...and White. What I need/want is a DVD collection that knocks the socks off of people...so when they look at the titles they go "holy shit, that is impressive." What I'm asking for are movies that will help expand my library. Any language, from any country, any genre. Keep in mind that I hate teen comedies and any movie that I need to be baked to enjoy isn't my cup of tea. Anything you can whip at me would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
Scandanavian War Machine:
do you have Dark City? they just released a directors cut (finally) and it's pretty great.
or, for parkour-oriented action, may i recommend Banlieu 13? it's French and i haven't seen the whole thing but the stunts are absolutely amazing.
in a similar vein: anything with Tony Jaa in it is pretty much destined to blow your mind. and for god's sakes don't watch the dubs because the voices will be terrible. watch it in Thai with subtitles (unless you speak Thai).
Six-String Samurai: i cannot say enough good things about this movie, so i'm not going to say anything; plus it's impossible to describe. so just get it. seriously.
Vendetagainst:
The Shawshank Redemption, Mystic River, Big Fish, Stardust, Casablanca. This article might be worth a look, as might This one. I know going off of what others recommend isn't really that great, but there's some good stuff in there!
*Oooh, also One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Definitely.*
KvP:
One word.
It does not get any better. Get all of them. Pay out the ass for them. Watch every extra (Criterion knocks them out of the fuckin' park every time) and listen to every commentary track. If you know people who like good movies, a rack of criterion DVDs will certainly impress them.
Also, Galaxy Quest.
Inlander:
Wait, so you're asking for recommendations from the field of "Almost all movies ever"?
