TB 5: Top 5 "if you haven't seen them.. you NEED TO" Movies:

[madman_9]

Damn, way to many to narrow it down to 5. I'll pick just 5 epics.

Dr. Zhivago

Spartacus

Lawrence of Arabia

Ben-Hur

The Ten Commandments.

Wow not many people have seen these movies. Let alone in the top 5. Dr. Zhivago is a great movie. Teaches of what political termiol and war does to the people of a country. Great Pic!

 

[BellaRisa]

Only 5 was hard...

A Hard Day's Night

Harold and Maude

The Thin Man (all the Thin Man movies actually)

What's New Pussycat?

Shakes the Clown

Very honorable mention: It Happened One Night


Many I'd have listed were already mentioned, like LOTR and Tarantino's and The Coen brothers work.

 

[Artoo]

Human Traffic
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
The Shawshank Redemption
Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain
The Jungle Book.

 

[Mephistopheles]

- The big lebowski
- Fear & loathing in Las Vegas
- the Watchmen
- Weirdsville
- Four lions

with the latter two being relatively unknown but immensely hilarious. Medieval battle midgets and kuffar sheep, you just can't go wrong on that one.

Haha I love that idea! Make middle schooler's watch that enstead of going through DARE, I'm sure it would cause a 95% drop in drug use haha
