• The essential movie check-off list
    225 replies, posted
The other day, a friend of mine gave me this list of movies that he says is probably the most complete list of "essential" movies out there. It's pretty cool, because all you have to do is pop it into Paint and cross off the movies you have seen, and the next time you feel like watching a good movie you can select one form the list. Here's the original uncrossed version: [img]http://i55.tinypic.com/or1iyv.jpg[/img] Copy paste it into MS Paint and cross off the movies you've seen. Here's mine. I have lots of work to do. [media]http://i52.tinypic.com/2uy2fdv.jpg[/media] (Note: Keep in mind that this list isn't perfect, but I think it's the closest thing to being perfect out there) [highlight]UPDATE[/highlight] Since I made this thread I've received another list from a friend. I still think that the list I posted first is the better one. This is newer though, as you see Toy Story 3 is on it. [img]http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c342/gtrunner55/1281791781459.jpg[/img] Here's my version [media]http://i54.tinypic.com/14ihhci.jpg[/media] I sort of like this one better because it's organized, and it tells you what kind of a movie watcher you are. Like for me, apparently I hate horror movies, and I've only seen like 1 from it, and love animated movies, as I've seen almost every one of the ones on there.

There are a lot of movies that I haven't crossed off which I've been meaning to watch for a while now.. [img]http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/4672/or1iyv.jpg[/img] [editline]26th December 2010[/editline] and I've seen segments of at least half the ones I haven't checked
Few of the movies on the list are horrible in my opinion. Also you have Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven but not Gladiator? List is getting pretty silly I think.
Pretty good list, although there are a few odd choices on there (Sphere?)

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/sSKle.jpg[/IMG] I love movies, but I never feel like I have time. Also, the Hurt locker should be added to this.
is that 3:10 to Yuma the one with Russel Crowe? Gonna be honest here, Predator and Robocop are only on there because they're everywhere in stuff like Family Guy where they mention it; not quality movies (i guess you could call them cool though) Casablanca and 2001:ASO... also period pieces. I wouldn't consider them timeless, but I bet they were masterpieces at the time.
I've seen Avatar, am I allowed to cross off Dances With Wolves? [editline]26th December 2010[/editline] Also this list is missing a lot of great movies and has some very meh movies
I'm watching Black Hawk Down now, so that's one movie off the list. And I already saw the Thing, so thats another. Update: I also saw Equilibrium, so another is already off the list. And I watched all three Back to the Future films.

Spaceballs has no business being there if Blazing Saddles isnt :colbert:

And where the fuck is Clerks II? Forgot to cross out Dances with Wolves, goes under Red
[IMG]http://i51.tinypic.com/29m3guc.jpg[/IMG] Yellow = Movies I want to see Purple cross = Movies I've seen that do not belong on the list
there are a few stinkers on this list though [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1482927/movies%20list.png[/img]

[QUOTE=Rusty100;26991801]there will be blood (what the fuck this won movie of the year when it was released how does it not deserve to be there)[/QUOTE] Best Picture? No it didn't. No Country for Old Men did. Got Best Actor though.
really? huh. well, they both came out the same year and couldn't both win i guess.
Bah. There Will Be Blood deserved it in my opinion. Glad it at least got Best Actor.
they were both excellent, no doubt.
[IMG]http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg290/GenOmega/Untitled-1-2.png[/IMG] Just imagine an x on 28 days later. I didn't bother for good reason.
[img]http://imgur.com/h7wx7.png[/img] Almost half of them I've seen on TV/On Demand. Movies like The Fall, I've rented. Yes I know, I watch too many movies :saddowns:

Brazil is one of my favorite movies of all time.
This is what I have left. I tried watching some of them and just couldn't get through them, like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, so it shall remain on this list forever. [img]http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/9049/whatsleft.jpg[/img]
