Movie Meme

I've decided to give myself an additional stipulation... I decided I wouldn't include any movies used by both people that preceded me. If one or the other used it, but not both, it's fair game.

So the Star Wars trilogy, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Die Hard, Gladiator, Terminator, Alien/Aliens and The Princess Bride are all off the table. Even then, there's STILL too many.

So yeah, not my list of favorite movies, but a list of movies that are thought were important, groundbreaking, or just so damned kick ass that I couldn't not list it.

From gatezilla and gi_jules

In no particular order, twenty movies* I think everyone should see:

ANIMATED/MUSICAL
Moulin Rouge
Wall-E
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

ACTION/ADVENTURE
Raiders of the Lost Ark/Temple of Doom/Last Crusade
The Matrix (first one only)
(lost too many movies here to the other folks :] )

COMEDY
Better Off Dead
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Shaun of the Dead
Young Frankenstein
(this one could be a LOT longer)

DRAMA
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Fight Club
Memento
Pulp Fiction
Saving Private Ryan
Schlinder's List

HORROR/SUSPENSE
The Blair Witch Project
Silence of the Lambs
The Sixth Sense

* a series can count as one selection
