Great period piece comedy/drama: Diner

Lots of stars at the early points of their career..... and the banter back and forth is awesome.


BTW, Caddyshack really isn't a sports movie..... it's just a comedy with a sports background to it. It was more of a platform for some great comedians at that time whereby they slapped together a bunch of funny scenes.

Re: Highly recommended movies, you have yet to see...

So, I was listening to the Glenn Beck Show ths morning and they were doing like a Sweet 16 of Comedy Movies and I remembered some great ones I have yet to see. A few of these were on the list, but some were not . I am ashamed to admit I have yet to see..

Caddyshack
Office Space
Clerks
Animal House
Monty Python's Holy Grail

I love comedies and I know those are some classics I would enjoy..,yeah I know, I should be shot.

You need to see Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Beware... it'll lead you to the other movies (Meaning of Life and Life of Brian) and those will lead you into Monty Python's Flying Circus. I'm addicted to anything Monty Python because of Holy Grail.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Oh yeah, plus my avatar is from Spamalot, a musical lovingly ripped off of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

I can proudly say I have seen MP and the Holy Grail and have never had the urge to watch another MP movie...so this isn't for every case, heh.

Seriously though, I typically watch most "highly recommended" films, though I've yet to see:

Brokeback Mountain
Psycho (the original Hitchcock)
Ben Hur (seen parts of it)

One that doesn't get a lot of mention except among old critics, which I PERSONALLY highly recommend is "Dr. Strangelove - Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb". Check it out!

Re: Highly recommended movies, you have yet to see...

A movie that I always get flack for not watching ......The Good, The Bad and The Ugly...(It's on my netflix cue now)....

I hope this thread influences people to finally see great films. You have to watch Godfather 1,2 and Goodfellas.

And please if you haven't seen Office Space, stop playing games, get off the internet and go BUY IT. If anything this is a must in everyones DVD collection.

This is a tough thread for me since I pretty much seen every movie that I've always wanted to see.

I'm not a fan of Eastwood's so I have no desire to see any of his westerns.

I saw half of The Godfather. Boring as ****. I have no desire to see the others.

Office Space is easily on of my favorite comedies.

Other movies I havent seen....I'll just stick to the ones mentioned already......

The Passion of the Christ
Any of the Harry Potter movies
Brokeback Mountain
Psycho
Ben Hur
Dr. Strangelove - Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Dirty Harry
Death Wish
Schindler's List
Last of the Mohicans

Re: Highly recommended movies, you have yet to see...

I've seen almost every movie mentioned in this thread, but the one that everyone on Earth must see before they die is....

The Godfather. And Godfather II, for that matter. I hereby disavow the existence of Godfather III, which sucked. One of the best days of my life was when I was in high school and sat down to spend an entire day watching I and II back-to-back. From a screenwriting and acting perspective, these movies are freaking clinics. Highly engrossing story, infinitely quotable dialogue, fantastic ensemble cast....just tremendous. They are, truly, the sum of all wisdom.

Word? I mean, I love movies, a lot. But one of the best days of your life? Lets hope that changes for you bro.

I think you missed the meaning of this thread...

Re: Highly recommended movies, you have yet to see...

Victor was right when he mentioned Schindler's List. Everyone should at least see this movie once.

[TheLetterZ]

Re: Highly recommended movies, you have yet to see...

The Passion of the Christ

Oh yeah? Let me help you out then. Here's a spoiler for you: Jesus dies.

[mgoblue]

Re: Highly recommended movies, you have yet to see...

Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs
Any Godfather
