alien

This needs rectification.

i will watch all of these in the next week

IMO skip requiem for a dream, if you want punishing cinema there are far better filmmakers. aronofsky is too self-important and moralizing to make it work well. lars von trier and michael haneke are a couple of the notable entry points here. credit to aronofsky though he at least cops to quoting satoshi kon here, unlike thieving christopher nolan

run don't walk to alien/the shining, however

the list of classics i haven't seen is very, very long and i am frequently shamed by a fellating lover for this. i haven't seen the exorcist or the godfather or a handful of the 'essential' scorseses, i have not seen the gremlins films, i have not seen rosemary's baby, i have not seen predator, the list is endless and i get overwhelmed just trying to think of what's on it

someday i'll catch up on more of them, but i am generally focusing my viewing more heavily on non-hollywood stuff

predator is such a fun movie, used to watch it with my dad all the time

i have, however, seen lethal weapon 2 about four hundred times

It is cursed for me. Every time I try to watch it something urgent comes up and I can’t

Stormy predator is a must it is classic 80s cheese and super fun

Zim the Shining is probably my davorite movie. I wrote half my college papers on it I love it that much. It is one of yhose I know very few who like it the first time they watch it it seems to be one that grows on you as you pick up different meanings to each scene.

Dracula and frankenstein are must watches in my opinion. Also house on haunted hill, oh for sure Nosferatu. i watch classic black and white movies with my brother all october he loves them.

Se7en. I have that lying around for the longest time just waiting for me to hit play. I know it's gonna be a good flick but the sard is just too strong. One day, one day...

This really needs to be rectified post-haste. If I could see a movie again for the first time, this is high on that list.

Add The Haunting from ‘63 to that list, so fucking good I watch it every October.

Also had the chance to see Nosferatu last year in a theater with a live orchestra - that was cool.

As far as films I haven’t seen - there’s probably a good chunk of “cult classic” films from the 70s-gloryhole era that I haven’t seen.

Lucky!! That sounds so fun

Metropolis. I started on it once but lost focus. But this is something I would like judging from the description. It' s almost a hundred years old now

godfather 3 ?

the sheer scale of some of those old movie sets is always impressive. even with the use of miniatures, they still had to build out some full scale sets - which I don't think anyone has done for the past 40 years at least.

Just seen this is on youtube, but the running man

This is one of the rare ones where the remake is as strong as the original.

I think the remake is better probably can only say that about the Thing as well.

Wait almost forgot the Fly
