I am finding modern movies more, and more sub-par.

Aliens - up to #2
Requiem for a Dream
The Professional
Godfather 1/2 - My son, 19, and I watched these a few weeks back
Full Metal Jacket
Platoon
The Wire TV Series - If you have not seen this you are missing out on one of the best series ever produced
The Kingdom - Just watched this on my last business trip

​

I like all the movies you listed (that I've seen) but yeah, great call on The Professional.
That movie with the great acting, story and everything. That is absolutely on my must see list.
Would like to see a remake, kind of how they did an American version of La Femme Nikita, etc.

I love horror movies and the first V/H/S is my favorite - very original story with 4 connected stories within it. I also love Paranormal Activity 3 - when we saw it in theaters a few kids ran out during the last 10 minutes.

I love David Lynch's work - surreal and non-linear storytelling that makes you think. Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive are the easiest to get into; if you like those you'll probably love Inland Empire.

I don't know TV or streaming shows as I don't watch that stuff. True Blood, American Horror Story, and Breaking Bad are the only ones I've seen all the way through and I enjoyed them.

how can you mention David Lynch and not mention Blue Velvet?

Bro - next fucking level! Lots of parallels to the Murdochs (Fox) and Redstones (Viacom) families and legacy media.

Good show!

 

[Virtuous]

Love a lot of these. A lot of my favorites already listed, here’s what I’d add:

Band of Brothers / The Pacific are two must-watches. Period.

Mad Men, Monty Python, Battlestar Galactica also solid.

 

[stackdizzy]

Band of Brothers is the shit so is JFK

I don't really do movies much, too short, story too simple (I also don't like reading much less than 500 page books). But TV.

Farscape
Star Trek (pretty much all but Enterprise, I can watch that too though)
X-Files
Stargate SG-1
Stargate Atlantis
Andromeda (has Kevin Sorbo)
FireFly (kind of have to mention it)
Manhattan (it was a good show on WGN about the bomb)
Lost (but only like seasons 1-3ish)
Legend of the Seeker (It's a poor replacement for the Sword of Truth books themselves, but I still like it. Don't watch unless you've read Wizards First Rule and Stone of Tears)
Fringe

I'm sure I could go on.

it's like the Twilight zone and Outer Limits in that they're all little standalone vignettes. I haven't watched much of it.

When I was younger I loved the movie Sniper.

I liked when the bad guys cut tom beringers finger off

Fight Club should be required viewing for every male around age 14, with subsequent viewings required yearly so they understand it on more levels as they mature.
