Hey so, I'm not really a massive movie buff or anything but recently I saw Last Action Hero and although it wasn't the best thing I've ever seen (I'll leave it at that..) it made me realise how I pretty much only watched shit like Marvel films and a few other rare cases.

So what films/movies would you recommend, personally? I'm not really looking for anything specific, just something that can pull you into the story, pretty much.

-Rock & Rule
-Heavy Metal
-Chicken Run
-300
-V for Vendetta

The Shawshank Redemption

Oh, and 2017's IT.

Yup, those are great movies. I recommend:

Split
Pacific Rim
Alien
Chronicle

I heard that Baby Driver is really good too

Any particular type you're looking for? Just to throw out a few I really enjoyed, in a multitude of genres, mostly action:

187 (1997)
Bad Boys 2 (2003)
Banlieue 13 (2004)
Black Mask (1996)
Dale & Tucker VS Evil (2010)
Demolition Man (1993)
Die Hard (1988)
Dredd (2012)
Hard Boiled (1992)
Ice Age (2002)
It Follows (2014)
Looper (2012)
Mindwarp (1992)
Ong-Bak (2003)
Planet Terror (2008)
Project Almanac (2014)
Scarface (1983)
Shaun The Sheep Movie (2015)
Source Code (2011)
The Orphanage (2007)

Standard list for anyone desperate enough to ask me:

Excision
29 Palms
The Policeman's Wife
Purgatory
Antichrist

obligatory mind rape warning

Hmmm kind of tricky to think of great movies now...
The godfather (all of them)
Pulp Fiction
Donnie Darko
Silence of the lambs

My top 3/4 is:
1. Kill Bill Volume I and II
2. The Nice Guys
3. Videodrome

Starship Troopers and the Truman Show are pretty good movies imo, I definitely recommend them both.

Space is the Place

The Holy Mountain (1973)

If you don't like slow build up movies I'd recommend you don't watch these.

Platoon. Directed and written by Oliver Stone an actual Vietnam vet. Based on several men he fought with from different platoons all rolled into one. Its an '80s war film so don't expect Saving Private Ryan effects.

Heat. Al pacino(cop) and Robert de niro(robber). De niro is a real pro who doesn't fuck around and al is a hardcore cop relentless and on the prowl.

1. Dawn of the Dead(original)group of runners take over a mall and make it their life in the zombie apocalypse. 2. Day of the dead. Government research in developing a zombie cure the survivors start to break down in the bunker and become their own enemies.(Classic zombie movies by what I believe as the father of zombie films).

These are not as much old as the above...

Team America. America fuck yeah!

Tusk. About a sensitive old man who shares his memoirs of his life and love for a walrus.

Tropic thunder - paradoy of dramatic films and lingo in Vietnam war films. Pokes fun at platoon. But hey its just a movie.

I saw this movie called "All the wilderness."
If you like coming of age check it out.

Heat

The older action hero movies are good.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1990 Film If you haven't seen the very first movie, click that link and check it out. That is honestly, I think, the BEST turtle movie still to date. Story line, fighting, and great writing.

Also, if you like karate movies. Blood and Bones is a classic. This was a straight to DVD movie but consider a cult classic.

Well, you mentioned Marvel, that's kinda on the fantasy side of things. Off the top of my head for 20th century in that genre would be... Krull, Buckaroo Banzai, original Batmens w/ Michael Keaton, if you don't mind defecting to DC. I'm better than any search engine, gimme 2-4 keywords and I can throw something your way.

John Wick and there is this halarious film called Zombieland

Damn

No, It's because Kill Bill is technically two movies but I consider them one.

Ah, the slash was not a divisive one, but an indecisive one! It makes sense now.

here's 4 for ya:
Fight Club
The Shawshank Redemption
Primal Fear
The Secret Life of Pets

I have made it my life mission to spread the word of the Jerkbeast (2005).

Watch the trailer here.

Skyrim is a pretty good movie

Trying to keep as concise and accessible a list as possible, I'd recommend these four if you haven't seen them.

Hot Fuzz
There Will Be Blood
12 Angry Men
Terminator 2

This is the shit right here, although they may be difficult to appreciate for someone just getting into moviefilms

This right here is also the shit. Actually if you haven't seen it then Fight Club should be your #1 priority out of all the films listed in this thread. Essential viewing and the groundwork for virtually every #cinephile's taste in the last two decades. As an 18 y/o male you're pretty much biologically guaranteed to like it.

These are my favorites. I'm aware many are pretty subjective to my taste, however those marked with an asterisk indicate that I think the film is a must-watch regardless of your tastes.

A Clockwork Orange*
Austin Powers
The Big Short
The Brave Little Toaster
Coraline
Donnie Darko
Edward Scissorhands*
Fight Club
Her*
Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade*
The Matrix
Silence of the Lambs
The Sixth Sense
V for Vendetta
Who Killed the Electric Car
The Wolf of Wall Street

Step Brothers
Pineapple express
Conjuring
Anabelle 2 after you watch conjuring
Anything with Will Ferrel
