the only Star Wars movies you should watch is the original trilogy. That being said, most movies people say you should watch before you die are obvious ones IE Shawshank Redemption, Casablanca, etc. However, to name a few genres you should watch, John Carpenter's The Thing, a movie crafted so well that the tension and suspicion of all characters keeps you guessing until the end (plus lots of great Kurt Russell moments in there). True Grit, you get to see John Wayne at the top of his game, (yes I know the tom boy girl in it is annoying as hell but The Duke is awesome so watch it), and finally Enter the Dragon special edition (Don't watch it on TV rent it at your local video store, see Bruce Lee in one of his finest produced films and you guessed it since it was made in America and Lee could speak English pretty well it's not dubbed so enjoy this piece of cinema and watch Bruce kick the shit out of pretty much everybody...)
