[NorthOfTime]

Well the back story to this topic is that while me, my wife and another couple were sitting drinking, chatting it up, we came across the subject of Movies that everyone short of children should see. This is souly an opinionated thing but we came to find out that most of our movies actually matched.

So i wanna hear what some of yall think should be on the list of the top 10 Movies every adult man and woman should see. (I say adult because in my opinion some of these movie should not be viewed by anyone other then an adult)
So ill start with i think should be in the top ten this list is in no particular order

Boondock Saints
Monsters Ball
Orange County
Crash
Gladiator
Rambo (Any of them is good)
300

Those are my 10 movies eventhough I would love to add a whole lot more to my list, but I kept it at 10, but for a bonus my fav. chick flicks just for the ladies. Steal Magnolias, When Harry met Sally, and Beaches.

I'd have to say

Pulp Fiction
Fight Club
Clerks
Mallrats
Boondock Saints
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
The Departed

[Diocletian]

I'm going to add movies that they should watch so that they can say they saw terrible movies that were worse than what they saw at the theatres and worth the cash:

Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Nowhere
The Doom Generation

And The Anarchist Cookbook is a movie you should see for the heck of it.

[~DizzyElf~]

Fight Club
Matchstick Men
Friday
Clerks
300
Candy
Grandma's Boy
Wristcutters: A Love Story (not what you think)
Spaceballs or Star Wars (the originals)
Shaun of The Dead
Moulin Rouge

These are my personal favorites;
most of them agree with other people's
opinions as well.

Some aren't exactly originals, but I like them and
think they're worth atleast one chance.

[Datenshi]

A Scanner Darkly (I hate that this movie barely seems to even have a cult following, much less a mainstream one, it was pretty damned brilliant while being twisted enough to be cerebral)

Damn, was it? I'm a huge fan of Philip K. Dick, so I was avoiding that movie to save myself the trouble of tearing my hair out (movie adaptations of his novels tend to have that effect on me). Brilliant book.

I'm going to keep the words every man and woman in mind (i.e. Night of the Living Dead, Dead and Buried, and Dancer in the Dark are out, as is Dark City, although I'm glad some others have mentioned it).

Once Upon A Time In America
The Sting
12 Angry Men
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Battles Without Honor Or Humanity
Heat
Coffee and Cigarettes
Amadeus
La Femme Nikita
The Motorcycle Diaries

[Manhattan_Project_2000]

Well, I think the overall changes can be summed up as the women whose name I forget no longer conspires against Coca-Cola and they combined two minor characters into one still minor character. It's the role Keanu Reeves was born to play i.e. a paranoid yet intelligent drug addict.
