Movies to See Before You Die

[Ouchmaker]

Well, I googled it, and found some lists on the matter, but I thought it would be nice if we would try to compile our very own list on the matter.

Here are my "rules":

- The movie nominated needs to be atleast five years old, because I feel that would help erase "cool" movies from the list. I want genuinely great and legendary movies, not just movies that are hot at the moment. Something special and unique needs to be in the movie.
- Everyone has a chance to disapprove or approve any nominated movies. Majority of approvals, and it's on the list, Majority of disapprovals, and the movie is off the list.

I will keep track of the list on the first post.

[t0xin_ven0m]

do we need to nominate the same movie if someone else has already nominated it?

[comicfreak]

I, Robot
Star Wars Orighinal Triligy
Batman
Spaceballs
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
The Musketeer
Assault on Precient 13
Ace Ventura

OK, I updated the list, and try to look at the spelling more carefully.

After a movie has been nominated, please state if you approve the choice. Since Star Wars (original tilogy) was nominated twice, I already marked it with a (+) sign, meaning that comicfreak has already approved the choice, therefore cannot approve again on those movies.

And each movie is listed once, even if it's one solid trilogy. I will make the list alphabetic once I get the chance.

On a personal note, there are movies here that are good, but I wouldn't say that it's critical to see the movie before you die. So be critical when you approve, we only want the best.

the Spider-Man (first one) was released exactly five years and a month ago, so it's on the list, Last Samurai, I Robot and Assault on Precint 13 are not there yet. It would be nice to get the release date (use imdb.com) along with the title of the movie.

Well I second the nominations for Donnie Darko, Matrix, Cast Away, Batman, Spaceballs, Se7en and the Sixth Sense. And I'd like to nominate a few more: The Abyss (1989), The Terminator (1984), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Alien (1979), Aliens (1986), X-Men (2000), X2 (2003), Predator (1987), Predator 2 (1990), AVP (2004)

[comicfreak]

Updated and rearranged to alphabetical order.

[t0xin_ven0m]

I'd like to add another one that was made in the last five years: The Illusionist (2006)

[Carnage]

I like to put down The Prestige (2006) also.

[comicfreak]

The Green Mile (1999) - Best movie ever
