+ more as I think of them.

I jotted these down in about 20 minutes. Most of them a war movies, as I've been a war movie kick lately. I haven't seen any of these (except Saving Private Ryan, I saw the last 2/3 of it). [b]Feel free to give me recomendations![/b[ I've seen a lot of movies, but there are just as many I haven't (If possible, try to keep recomendations post 1960's, though I could make exceptions). And if you have a list of your own, feel free to post it.

P.S. I know, I should probably be shot for not seeing some of these already, but, you got to start somewhere, right?

Hmmm...impossible to know what you've seen so I'll just throw out some titles that just pop into my head.

Dazed and Confused
Friday
Memento

Shit I don't know, I could list all sorts of movies but odds are you've seen them.

[OGcritic]

Yes, that's true... Though I've been thinking about it... and I really haven't seen THAT many movies. I haven't seen any three of the movies you listed. I'll look into them. I've heard a lot of mixed opinions on Memento, so many, to the point of me not renting it yet.

[Diff-chan]

Memento's HIGHLY overrated if you ask me, and its not really worth seeing. I would give it maybe a 5 out of 10, 6 if I was in a good mood.

Yeah, I've heard that quite a bit. hence me being so reluctant.

[Satsuki]

Chinatown (1974)
Se7en (1995)

Go get these two. NOW =X Both are on my top 10 list. Very very good movies imo. Though I've had a share of people that I've shown Se7en to that hated it, but I love detective movies, so I'm biased.

People who can't appreciate Se7en have no taste. Fantastic movie!

I own over a thousand DVDs, I have good movies and bad ones. My opinion of a good movie is one that keeps you thinking after the movie's over. Or a conversation starter. With that said I dont agree that Memento is a 6... It's a 9 in my book.
Ironically, I HATED the movie after i saw it in the theater! Without giving anything away, I can say that its confusing the first time you see it and you try to unravel everything when its over... any movie that can make me do that, has my vote! Until I entered this thread, I hadn't met anyone that didn't like it on some level. But hell, we are all entitled to our opinion.

From the movies on your list I liked:
Office Space - for that silly jokester in you
The insider - (i also like detective movies)

Also some other movies to see are:
Reqium for a Dream - drama
Almost Famous - drama/comedy/music
The Saint - action

Biggest movie to stay away from on your list:
From dusk til dawn - its a waste of time to see a movie with such a great plot go down the toilet right at the midway point. Funny enough, the vampires make it suck! (ass, not blood though).

I just posted on my weblog the same topic (you could check out those movies 2 if you havent already:

Sandlot. Total classic. And in the same vein, Stand by Me.
