So I watched Pulp Fiction for the first time last night, and I realized, there's alot of older movies that me, as someone who was born in the 90's, has never watched.
Really iconic movies, that are a basis for much of what we say today. I need to watch those.
Tell me some that I need to watch, preferably ones on Netflix.
- The Big Lebowski (the Dude abides)
- Cool Hand Luke (what we've got here, is a failure to communicate)
- 2001: A Space Odyssey (tataaataaaataaaaaammuutaaaaaamtaauuuaaaaaaaam)
- Alien I, II & III (bliep, bliep, bliep *death gurgling* *silence*)
- The Shining (Here'ssssssss Johnny!)
- Rain Man (when Tom Cruise was still cool)
- One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (one of the best roles by Nicholson ever, my opinion)
- Taxi Driver (you talkin' to me? I see no-one else, so you must be talkin' to me!)
Intermezzo: basically anything from Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorcese are safe bets for guaranteed viewing pleasure.
- Monthy Python's? (because humour is good)
- The Deer Hunter (that Russian roulette scene, epic)
- Leon (because she became -very- hot older)
Older movie? Must watch?
I've just seen one of them with my roommates and friends.
"Funny Games", 1997, Austrian movie.
Not sure if I can suggest it. It's totally weird.
One I can strongly recommend is "Flatliners". Old but gold. 1990. Julia Roberts, Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon. Love that movie since my childhood (even if it was/is not quite suitable for kids).
You missed the 80s entirely. The movies are dated now, but a lot of great movies came out in that decade. Ghostbusters, Trading Places, National Lampoons Vacation, and National Lampoons European Vacation are just a few.
A Few Good Men
The Hunt for Red October
The Abyss
Excalibur
Miller's Crossing
The Game

Ransom
Casablanca (surprisingly amazing for an older film)
Silence of the Lambs

Starship Troopers (although the book is infinitely better)

Yes! Frigging awesome movie. Lots of life stories meet on a brooklyn corner store. The best performance by Harvey Keytell ever. Also William Hurt and Forest Whitaker, both rocking as always.
