If there was one movie you think everyone should see what would it be?

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Picking just one feels impossible honestly.

Probably Whiplash though. I think that's legitimately my favorite movie of all time.


Interstellar, Good Will Hunting, Saving Private Ryan would all get serious consideration as well though.

I'll offer two choices, from very different eras, with very different moods.

Blade Runner
The General

If you enjoy the Kill Bill type of movies, a bit of an under the radar pick is Shoot 'Em Up (2007), with Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti and Monica Bellucci. It takes the genre to the extreme, with a bit of an absurd comedic twist, and a play on the excessiveness of the genre in general. To say it is action packed is an understatement.

12 Angry Men

Is it my favorite movie of all time? No, is it in my top-10? Yes. The reason i picked it is because it just shows how little you actually need to make a movie that's great. In terms of production it could have been a stage play. The movie was made for under 4 000 000$ in todays money.

Misery

It's a great film, doesn't have the gore of your usual horror movie but some of the things that happen make you cringe at the thought of it

Excellent pick. I wish I'd thought of it. Besides being a great example of filmmaking, what it says about prejudice, jumping to conclusions and responsibility is something that anyone of any age or background could benefit from and apply in daily life. BTW, it was a stage play.

I also love the ‘97 version of 12 Angry Men
