The -Suggest a great movie- Topic

[Dualnames]

Pretty much what the title says. Suggest a great movie. And perhaps incline a reason. Btw, no f$^&$* spoilersplease.

So there goes mine:
-The Holy Mountain (1973)

Cause nothing will disturb you more in any way. If that film can't, well congrats you're a pathetic bastard.

I'd have to recommend Escape from New York with Kurt Russell. Bad ass guy in a bad ass city trying to save the president from Isaac Hayes: Awesomeness.

[Babar]

I'm sure everyone who is anyone has seen it already, but I'd have to recommend Face/Off.

Bad ass John Travolta beats a bad ass Nicholas Cage, then a  Bad ass Nicholas Cage beats a bad ass John Travolta. Awesome.

[Phemar]

Donnie Darko, 'nuff said.

[Nikolas]

Children of men

[FSi++]

Cannibal Holocaust, because it's even better than its title.

[Intense Degree]

If you're in the mood for something a bit different...

4 Lions.

From the profound and serious to the ridiculous and hilarious in one film about 4 suicide bombers from the midlands. Directed by Chris Morris (The Day Today, Brass Eye etc.) which will likely tell many of you all you need to know.

[Wonkyth]

I  Greatly suggest V for Vendetta, as it has some of the awesomest action, and some great quotable quotes!

[Radiant]

Twelve Monkeys.

[OneDollar]

Children of men

Twelve Monkeys.

Seconded and seconded. Also Pan's Labyrinth.

[Wonkyth]

Ooo, I;ve got another one!
The Rage in Placid Lake, because you'll never get the chance to see such a weird film otherwise.

For a great comedy: Idiocracy

I watch a couple of films every week, so I'll probably post again. But that one is the only one I can think off atm.

[Chicky]

Brick (2005)
Somers Town (2008)
I am Cuba (1964)

Three of my favourite films.

[Scarab]

I  Greatly suggest V for Vendetta, as it has some of the awesomest action, and some great quotable quotes!

Absolutely, and some of the most intense alliteration I've ever heard

Spoiler

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

A great movie that was released this year is The Book of Eli, well worth watching.

Others I'd recommend would be The Usual Suspects and Fight Club, but those are quite well known already.

For a great comedy: Idiocracy

Oh my. Didn't think anyone actually like that movie. I thought it was bloody horrible.

[kconan]

Some great, lesser known flicks that I love...

Come and See - the best war movie I've ever seen
Ran - amazing epic based on King Lear
The Killers - Lee F'n Marvin

[Guybrush Nosehair]

Although I'm sure most everyone has already seen it, I'd suggest Stand by Me. Great movie with the late River Pheonix.

Also, for a hilarious movie, see the Woody Allen classic Sleeper.

[Wyz]

I've already heard some of the movies I would would have suggested so I'm going to mention a different one: Office space
Not only is it really humorous, it also improves your moral.

[Dualnames]

Some great suggestions and some films I've never seen!! Chicky's movies don't ring any bell. So I'll look em up. Someone suggested Ran so cheers to him. And most cheers go to Radiant, I just can't love Twelve Monkeys enough. 

MORE:
-Fiddler on the roof
-The Legend of 1900
-Cinema Il Paradiso (trust me this movie makes La Vita E Bella look shallow)
-Space Odyssey 2001
-Perfect Blue (one of the greatest film I've ever seen, even if its an anime)
-Die Welle (The Wave)

Really? Well I suppose that's the thing with comedies, everyone likes different things. I came across that movie as tons of people recommended it.
To me, it's a great concept that sets up for a lot of mindless comedy

As for other movies:
Recently rewatched Alien I and II, still friggin amazing!
The Prestige is also amazing.

I'll probably think of a few more.
