Looking For Movie Recommendations

[Shock and Awe]

Hey Escapists, I am looking for a great movie to watch, any recommendations?

Here is some movies I really love to go by,
Citizen Kane
Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal
Batman(1984)
The Dark Knight
Ed Wood
A Hard Days Knight
Watchmen
Spirited Away
Dr. Strangelove
Patton
Taken

It doesn't need to be exactly like any movies above, I am just looking for a great movie, doesn't really matter what genre it is, as long as it is not a sports movie, I hate those.

If you're going to watch anime movies:
Paprika
Akira

They're terrific movies.

For live action:
Donnie Darko
Pan's Labyrinth
V for Vendetta

I think those are all my favorite movies, more or less.

The Spirit? it was meh, but some of my friends said that when they saw the spirit, it was like watching the watchmen(but seriously, who watches them?)but with more greenscreen action.

Since you like Taken I shall suggest the Bourne series and the last James Bond flicks( Daniel Craig). The Blindside is good even though it was a sports movie.

 

[Chummychanga]

Ah shit, I hardly know any of the movies you posted but here's my recomendations:

It Could Happen to You
Mr. Deeds {Hilarious comedy}
Amadeus
Major Payne
Prince of Egypt {Personally, one of the best American made movie I've ever seen}
Edward Scissor-hands
Sweeney Todd
The Last Guardian {A great Ashton Kutcher movie, mmm}

 

[Zaksav91]

May I recommend Mirror Mask? The movie is a bit odd but imo is an amazing movie.

 

[Instant K4rma]

Two words:

Pulp Fiction.

Really fantastic movie. Samuel L Jackson at his very best. Travolta puts on a solid performance, too.

 

[A Weary Exile]

Off the top of my head...

Kubrick

Full Metal Jacket
The Shining
A Clockwork Orange

Richie

Snatch
Lock, Stock, and two Smoking Barrels

Scorcese

Goodfellas
The Departed
Gangs of New York

Other

The Thing (1980-something remake, not the original)
Lucky Number Slevin

All great movies.

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

if one day you get to see Peter Ustinov's rarest tv movie: Thief of Baghdad 1978 (incredible acting but story is regular...)

either way, almost all of Ustinov's movies are awesome!
He was in:

Quo Vadis
Spartacus
Topkapi
Logan's Run
Death on the Nile
Appointment with Death
Alice in Wonderland (1999)
etc

 

[Acier]

Off the top of my head...

Kubrick

Full Metal Jacket
The Shining
A Clockwork Orange

Richie

Snatch
Lock, Stock, and two Smoking Barrels

Scorcese

Goodfellas
The Departed
Gangs of New York

Other

The Thing (1980-something remake, not the original)
Lucky Number Slevin

All great movies.

All of this, but I would add Hitchcock in there, North by Northwest, Rear Window, Vertigo etc.

You might also like The Maltese Falcon and The Graduate for classics.


And (500) Days of Summer, because I just saw that and it's amazing.
