spartacus was boring and gay
the sandlot is a fucking ripoff of Stand By Me. tho its not a terrible ripoff it still doesnt even compare to SBM

my list would be something like
Wizard of Oz
Grapes of Wrath
Twelve Angry Men
Star Wars
Jaws
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Good Bad & The Ugly
The Matrix
Jurassic Park
Terminator 1& 2
Back To The Future
One Flew over The Cuckoos Nest
Midnight Cowboy
Superman 1 & 2
Star Trek 2 & 4
all Pixar movies
Nightmare on Elm Street 1 & 3
Friday the 13th 3 in 3d
Halloween

Idiocracy. At least if you're American.

Astrocreep · 07-08-2008, 04:52 AM

yeah idiocracy while very funny has many painful truths about the dumbing down of society. we still dont know how people built certain things long ago. we had modern surgery thousands of years ago but it was lost to the ages. we had vast libraries of knowledge in alexandretta but it was burned down and that wealth of human history was lost. its beginning to happen again. 100 years from now people are gonna think UFOs helped build the empire state building.

Rocco - Animal Trainer. Demonstrates the sexism women had to overcome in the 17th century, when he shoves the girls head into a toilet and flushes after he cums in her.

unknown - 2Girls1Cup. Cinema Verite

Ice T - The Spirit of Truth. Preach on, ma brotha from erf.

unknown - Manos, the Hands of Fate. Clever mixture of English and Spanish in the title sets up for a intriguing murder mystery.

Amadeus!

Yuggoth · 07-08-2008, 08:44 AM

Blade Runner
Alien/Aliens
Big Trouble in Little China

Vatoreus · 07-08-2008, 11:24 AM

Never-ending Story
Blade Runner
The Fifth Element
Bram Stoker's Dracula -- This is seriously pretty damn near the perfect movie.

Edit -- Troy (can't believe I forgot this one)
12 Monkeys (also another I can't believe I forgot)
