This took an incredibly long time to make, so I'd appreciate it if you guys just looked at the titles at least, haha. Anyway, lemme see yours!

SukaDooka

I completely agree with your number 1 choice. That movie was just amazing and had a crazy twist at the end. Loved it.

jasonSuFi

This is basically a list of movies that EVERYONE should see before they die.

Smeagz

ahh man i enjoyed this a lot. makes me wanna organize my 50 and compare it with yours. by the way i did watch your montage...it did the movie well.


PS: i KNOW pans labyrinth would be on there if youd man up and watch it fag

MX1CAN

How true that is...


I don't really have the time to make one right yet but soon I will compile a big list like you have. If I remember correctly I used to post in a "movies you should watch" thread over at KS. Maybe it's still here somewhere?

Acklete

I dont think I could come up with 50 movies that would make my top 50 because honestly I have seen way more then 50 movies in my life but I can't think of half of them.

Durka

I have never seen fight club. WSUP DEN

LiL PAYN3

I really hate saying that Fight Club is my favorite film because I feel like a fucking high school faggot with a nonconformist attitude. Smeagz and I were just talking about how its cult following really ruins the movie.

Acklete

Cult following don't ruin movies. I mean the nightmare before christmas and Sweeney Todd are two of my favorite movies

LiL PAYN3

Normally, I would agree with you, but in the case of Fight Club, it's a little different. The following it has borders on annoying and stupid.

jasonSuFi

Kids like Pretador.

SukaDooka

I'm not a high school faggot with a nonconformist attitude. I just found it entertaining

Ragefuii

I agree with almost every one of those, especially your top ten. I agree with Smeagz though, just give it a chance, I know you'd love it.

LiL PAYN3

It's not like I'm refusing to see it, it's just one of those films where I know I need to see it, but I just need to find time.

Mathiasa

Requiem For A Dream, easily my first place.
