Definitive movie list?

budafett · Jan 1, 2014

I was shopping on Amazon and always wondered if there is a commonly known definitive list of movies that every freak/fanboy/nerd/movie fan needs to own?

I've always thought that these would be the first on my list:

1) Star Wars Saga
2) Indiana Jones Collection
3) Lord of the Rings/Hobbit collections
4) Marvel's Avenger Universe
5) The Godfather

What else deserves a spot?

Nolan Batman trilogy. James Bond films. Star Trek films. Rocky 1-6, Rambo 1-4

Movies that every freak/fanboy/nerd/movie fan needs to own are the movies they like. Not what people think they should like.

I'll add Terminator & Terminator 2 to the above.

Back to the Future Trilogy, Alien(s) Films, Pirates of the Caribbean films.

There is no definitive list because it's so subjective. There are probably 10,000 of them on IMDB you could pick from, though.

Great suggestions so far! I know the list is subjective but I'd like to see what other people think mad what's missing in my personal collection so I can fill holes!

Blade Runner (Director's Cut) is definitely one of my all-time favourites that would fit well with these suggestions.

DPrime · Jan 1, 2014

I'd add the Matrix films, Alien and Aliens (and maybe Prometheus), Blade Runner and T1 and T2. Ghostbusters and BTTF too.

I'd omit the SW prequels and probably the Hobbit films, the way they're turning out. Godfather 3, too.

JAWS

Brilliant movie, no doubt. Geek movie? I don't know. If we're just going to include all the great movies made, you could start with the AFI greatest 100 movies list.

Dark Sci Fi · Jan 2, 2014

Dont you mean Blade Runner (The Finale cut)?

FLOSI · Jan 2, 2014

Pulp Fiction would be high on my list.

Citizen Kane is a no-brainer movie that everyone with any serious interest in film should watch IMO.

It's an all time pop culture fan fave - that's my point. :wink1:

Uncanny Web-Slinger · Jan 2, 2014

Robocop. It's a wonderful life. Escape from new york. 4/6 of the X-Men franchise

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

Any serious film fan needs to spice things up with a little Gilliam.

Brazil
Time Bandits
12 Monkeys

RIDDICK · Jan 3, 2014

"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" is the only Gilliam's film I honestly like :lol
