Bumped for the day shift.
Previously on Oppositelock:
“Make up a list of required viewing. I bet I hav not seen half. I’m also not much of a movie/ TV person...An official Oppo required viewing thread.” — XJDano
So, my friends, let’s help out our comrade. What is on the list of classic “must see” cinema?
Obviously The Blues Brothers and Young Frankenstein start it off. And, of course Star Wars . I’m also going to throw in Back to the Future. Discuss...
"Daily Drives a Dragon - One Last Lap" (ddadragon)
10/12/2017 at 22:22, STARS: 4
I personally would recommend Gattaca, Memento, Europa report, The Iron Giant, 2001 a Space odyssey, Jurassic park, Terminator, Jaws... That’s all the really good (at least in my opinion) films I can think of right now.
"Highlander-Datsuns are Forever" (jamesbowland)
10/12/2017 at 22:26, STARS: 1

Any movie with the Wolverine played by Huge Jackman
Any movie with Jennifer Lawarnce
Legally Blond
Star Trek The Next Generation

Home Alone 1 and 2
Something about Mary

Can’t edit because Kinja but here’s some more
Primer, District 9, Apollo 18, Guardians of the Galaxy, Arrival, Contact, Alien, Avatar, ET, Wall-E, Signs, Coraline, The Lion King, Cabin in the Woods.
I personally (clearly) am a fan of the How to train your dragon movies but I probably wouldn’t recommend them for him to watch.
There’s many, many more.

It’s a great film. I really don’t like found footage all that much but i’ll give this and Cloverfield (also should go on the list) a pass because I think they were really well done. It takes a lot to get me scared and this did it.
Also more for the list.
Cloverfield, A.I., Super 8. Ok I think that’s all the movies that I can re-watch without getting tired of them.

I was waiting for someone to say Highlander. Also, Repo Man defines cult classic. So does The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Also Animal House
And don’t forget The Breakfast Club, Top Gun, True Lies, Army of Darkness.

No apologies necessary.
