Welcome to the cool guy club.

Conspiracy (2001)

 

[InvaderZim]

Blues Brothers

 

[h71830]

Tron for one of the earliest uses of computer generated graphics and an amazing soundtrack

Tron Legacy for pure audio and visual glory

Ghost in the Shell for gorgeous art, beautifully soundtrack and exploration of transhumanism

Hoodwinked for the interconnected perspectives of the characters (be prepared for not the best visuals because the move barely had a budget)

Dredd (2012) for a simple but amazingly made action movie (also check out

Fight Club
best movie ever made!

Fight Club has been on my "I'll get around to it" list for years and years. Somehow I just never seem to be in the right mood.

Star Wars but it has to be the original 1977 film. Not any of Lucas bs 4 different special editions. Better off having no baggage either, no knowledge or history of the franchise, just enjoy it as a fun popcorn flick. Though since the movie is nearly 50 years old maybe it can't be appreciated like the newest film with cgi effects and all the bells and whistles people expect.

One of my favorite things about being a dad was being able to introduce my kids to cinematic touchstones like Star Wars and watching their reactions. As they grew older, I thought all of the really good ones had been used up, but then I thought to show my teenage son Pink Floyd The Wall, and he was completely bowled over by it. Even "dated" films can still have a profound impact on the young.

Anyone who's willing to go to bat for TRON is okay in my book. It's in my all-time Top 10, maybe even Top 5.

Dark City Director's Cut

 

[Nosian]

A beautiful mind. I've only seen it once, I keep on wanting to watch it again but remember how heavy it was.

 

[sourdohbread]

Princess Bride is one of the best all-rounders. One of the greatest sword fights in cinema, great cast, and it's also a Christmas movie (suck it Die Hard).

[dmcloudthe1st]

Dark City Director's Cut

Fine choice.
For classics, Rear Window for cinimatics, (kane is boring). 12 Angry Men.
Willow was a pioneer of "morphing".
T2 has amazing attention to detail, as well as stunning visual effects.
Just for fun, Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter, and/or TRomeo and Juliet. the T is intentional.

 

[Stoni1234]

Old Boy. The original Korean version.

thats a real classic. havent seen it in years, will have to watch it again now.
