Theres a few in here I havent heard of!

Also I have watched Monte Python and the Holy Grail, but Im gonna watch it again... cause reasons?

Spaceballs
Treasure of the Sierra Madre
The Third Man
Lost Horizons
The Horn Blows at Midnight
Love Thy Neighbor
Support Your Local Sheriff
Support Your Local Gunfighter
The Apple Dumpling Gang (Don Knotts and Tim Conway)

 

I think there are better movies than these but I find the best movies from your list to be:
Animal House - Movie was shot at U of O but the horse incident happened at Oregon State;
Stalag 17;
Sunset Blvd.;
The Wizard of Oz;
Caddy Shack;
Monty Python and the Holy Grail;
Full Metal Jacket;
and
Master and Commander.

Some other great movies include:
The Big Country (one of my top five);
To Kill a Mockingbird;
Gone With the Wind (my aunt was the babysitter for the author, Margaret Mitchell. My aunt and my uncle were invited to the premier in Atlanta and to a party afterwards with all the big movie stars including Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh);
Forbidden Planet (an old science fiction that still has some great scenes in it that are nearly timeless);
Soylent Green;
West Side Story;
Oklahoma (one of my top five);
South Pacific;
Mr. Roberts (one of my top five, perhaps the best);
Raiders of the Lost Ark;
Star Wars;
2001 A Space Odyssey;
Chinatown;
Lawrence of Arabia;
[anything with Harold Lloyd in it];
I'll think of more later.

 

Oh, I've heard of most of these and seen a few. Added them to my list!

 

Here's a some more:
No Way Out Early Kevin Costner movie
Into the Night Early Michelle Pfiefer and Jeff Goldblum (somewhat B movie but entertaining)
Lord of the Ring trilogy great movies
The Hobbit trilogy same as Lord of the Rings
Pulp Fiction John Travolta's vomeback movie directed by Quintin Tarantino
Get Shorty another John Travolta
The Spiderman movies

 

I've seen the Lord of the Rings / Hobbit Movies, Interesting story but I was having trouble reading when I was little so a family friend gave The Hobbit to help me "stay interested" and so outside of "Doctor Seuss" That was my first book! Been a huge Tolkien fan basically my entire life. Watched the Peter Jackson movies and they were really good though I didn't think the Hobbit Trilogy was as good. Still added most of those too my list.

 

You definitely need to watch Pulp Fiction if you haven't. I was listening to the Mark and Brian show which was a syndicated radio show based out of LA and they had Tarantino on as a guest and he told the story of how he hooked up with John Travolta. Tarantino invited Travolta out to his place on the coast to discuss the movie and Travolta goes up to his door (a multi unit complex) and knocks and Tarantino opens the door where Travolta without stepping into his place describes the unit to a T. It turns out when Travolta first came to Hollywood that he had rented the exact same unit years before

 

Seven Samurai
Yojimbo

 

I liked Peter Jackson's King Kong with Naomi Watts...I also liked the original with Faye Ray and the one with Jessica Lang....Peter Jackson is a great filmmaker in my view.

 

Jason and the Argonauts....the original

 

No Way Out and The War are the only two good movies Costner ever made.

 

What? No Field of Dreams or Dances with Wolves? I'm a big Kevin Costner fan. I also enjoyed Message in a Bottle, For the Love of the Game, Thirteen Men, JFK, Untouchables, ah hell, I just like Kevin Costner.

 

I think he's a lousy actor. He just seemed to fit the bill in The War and No Way Out.

 

I left off
12 Angry Men;
The Ox-Bow Incident;
The Grapes of Wrath.

 

He acted very well in The War.

 

Pulp Fiction was good but Inglourious Basterds and Kill Bill, volumes 1 and 2 are better.

 

I liked them all, but I would still put Pulp Fiction ahead of them. I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder.

 

Some of the following movies may be classified in several genres (I chose one in the list) and some may have already been mentioned. Some are quite old and some are new. The Must-see movies, in my opinion, are emboldened in blue.
