Movie requests
Yes, two posts one right after the other, but I don't have much else to do right now so I'm posting anyway.
OKAY SO, in the month of August (so a couple of weeks from now) I think that I am going to hold off on any video games until BBS comes out, and instead focus on movies. For how much I want to, y'know, work in entertainment, I don't think that my movie literacy is up to snuff. So in the month of August, I will make it a point to watch one movie that I haven't seen yet every day of the month. 30 new movies should help me a bunch!
Flist, I want YOU to recommend me movies to watch! It can be anything you can think of, but since I am specifically looking to expand my movie literacy, I am looking for classics and/or landmarks in film. The sort of things people go "what, you haven't seen that?!" when you mention not having seen it.
- Black and white films are a-o-kay, even encouraged. Any time period is fine.
- Comedy, drama, action, don't care what it is, as long as it's good. I am not a fan of horror/slasher and would rather avoid horror recs (unless it's a classic/landmark film, like 'Alien.')
- No classically bad films, please! I get plenty of my bad-film dosage from MST3K! Would prefer good films for this.
- I love animated films the most, but just FYI, you will be VERY hard-pressed to find a Disney film that I haven't seen.
- If I've already seen it, I'll let you know!
EXTRA CREDIT: If you can link me to your movie rec on YouTube, Hulu, iTunes or any other place online, in return I will give you a free sketch request! (Something small and non-complicated, please.)
THANK YOU FLIST! And in return, I'll offer up a few movies that are pretty classic that other dudes may not have seen yet:
Wait Until Dark (Thriller/Suspense, 1967)
It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World (Comedy, 1963)

-Young Frankenstein. In b&w, for the feel of an old-time movie.
-Blazing Saddles. Warning--the "n" word is thrown a LOT, but it's actually a pretty progressive movie. And most of people using it are the bad guys.
Along with the Hitchcock films agentpompadour recommended below, I'd like to specifically add:
-Rope. It's awesome.
-Psycho. It deserves every bit of its reputation as a classic.
Wizard of Oz. I saw this a few years ago and was amazed at how well it still holds up.
The original Gojira. NOT the American move Godzilla: King of the Monsters, the original, Japanese version. There's a huge difference between the two.
Have you see any Kurosawa Akira, like Rashomon or The Seven Samurai?
no subject
Seen Psycho (and I agree that it does deserve that reputation; it's actually a matter of seeing ALL the atmosphere in that movie instead of just the infamous shower scene.) And have seen Wizard of Oz since I was a lil' bitty! The original Gojira would be interesting...
Nope, haven't seen any Kurosawa. :O
