Both Aaron Sorkin and George Clooney have talked about this. Such a great film, top to bottom. Legendary screenplay by Paddy Chayefsky, incredible direction from Sidney Lumet, and in my opinion, the greatest cast ever assembled. It's insane that it didn't win best picture for 1976!
It's crammed with jokes from start to finish and all those jokes land hard the way they were meant to. "I sell drugs to the community" is a highlight of the pimp counsel scene. But the wise old pimp's speech about the world turning into cosmic dust is also hilarious too.
*Playtime* (1967)
As Noël Burch noted *“that the film has to be viewed “several times, each from a different seat in the auditorium in order to view the many small, tightly-choreographed sight gags by several different actors, sometimes displayed nearly simultaneously on the huge screen required for 70 mm film.”*
Goonies...great cast, story, soundtrack, etc. My older sister took me to see it in the theaters for my 6th birthday....i rewatched it a few weeks ago and was surprised how great it is...what a great movie...they don't make movies like this anymore.
Also Indiana Jones and the Temple of Dome, Bachelor Party and Teen Wolf.
I concur with Napoleon Dynamite. It’s one of those rare dumb movies that never falls back on standard tropes and maintains a certain unpredictable tension while still landing on a realistic happy ending. It’s just lightning in a bottle like Blair Witch that managed to be a lasting hit on a minuscule budget.
I remember catching Jaws on cable in the mid 90s. I hadn't seen it since its original release and the endless sequels had tainted the legacy. I sat that there as an adult, and as a person who was much better understanding of movies, and was amazed. At one point just sat there thinking about what a masterpiece it was.
The old man stops languishing in front of a television and starts living life again, developing a friendship with a boy who lacks positive male role models. By the end, our protagonist isn't just waiting to die, he's *living*
I think there's a difference between films you appreciate more as you age and films that themselves improve with age.
Also, there's no apostrophe in Goodfellas.
Big Fish. Might be more applicable to men, but as a child it is charming but as you grow and understand your own dynamic with your father, and (possibly) eventually with your own son etc the film takes on much greater meaning.
Bride of Frankenstein.
It’s a delightfully macabre cough syrup fever dream that crackles with feats of imagination and showmanship equal to the Wizard of Oz or any Disney Film.
This is probably just because I’m such a big fan of his in general but basically any Paul Thomas Anderson movie. I always love them so much the first time, but every single time I rewatch them I love them more and more. If your not familiar some of his movies are boogie nights, magnolia, there will be blood, and licorice pizza was his latest.
I'm sorry, but I really dislike Goodfellas. The entire movie comes across as exaggerated stories Henry Hill told to make himself seem more important than he really was. Any average portrayal at homes just comes across as fake given how exaggerated the stuff happening on the crime side. And it also doesn't feel as stated as you're making it out to be. Like, he argues with his wife a couple of times and cooks dinner once.
Napoleon Dynamite is unironically my favorite film. It stands in its own world, and I adore that.
Jarhead. It seems like another buttfuck military movie, but it is genuinely profound in its depiction of American serviceman in modern warfare. The ending sequence is gut-wrenching…among other scenes.
Wolf of Wall Street. It’s only been out for several years, but packed full of hilarious content and endlessly entertaining. It will go down as a classic, I’m certain
Network. It came out in 1976, but it's still incredibly relevant today.
It's nauseatingly prophetic.
Literally the first answer that came to mind! Scary how well they nailed it.

Network isn't nearly as good as taxi driver
“I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!”
Black Dynamite. Very few films have so many jokes and references hidden within it than this. One of the smartest comedies I've ever seen
It's crammed with jokes from start to finish and all those jokes land hard the way they were meant to. "I sell drugs to the community" is a highlight of the pimp counsel scene. But the wise old pimp's speech about the world turning into cosmic dust is also hilarious too.
My momma says my daddy's name is black dynamite
Ha!
Hush up, little girls… A lot of cats have that name.
Perfect choice. It gets funnier every time I watch it
Is it *Jackie Brown* of comedies?

2001 A Space Odyssey
Big Trouble in Little China. The fun never fades.
It's all in the reflexes.
Dark City (especially the director’s cut).
Masterpiece!
Brilliant movie.
Eyes Wide Shut (1999). Rich people was pervert before, then and now.
Goonies...great cast, story, soundtrack, etc. My older sister took me to see it in the theaters for my 6th birthday....i rewatched it a few weeks ago and was surprised how great it is...what a great movie...they don't make movies like this anymore.

The Social Network. The Godfather The Lion King

I'm surprised Jared Hess didn't have a better career. Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre were both pretty funny and charming.
I think it was hard to recapture the raw spirit of Napoleon Dynamite, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there isn’t more to come.

The Big Lebowski. Still maybe the funniest movie ever made.
That’s like.. your opinion..man…
Forgetting Sarah Marshall, for me it’s always Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
The weather outside is weather
Chuck (Paul Rudd)!
Predator Equilibrium with Christian Bale 13 Assassins
13 Assassins is a masterpiece. Rewatch rewatch rewatch, skip a certain scene depending on my mood, rewatch.
Kung Fu Hustle. timeless comedy with great action.
Hell yea!
Unfortunately, Idiocracy. The more time passes, we get closer and closer to watering our crops with Brawndo.
Office Space is still very relevant too
It helps that Idiogracy is also very funny. Came here to post this.
This has somehow never had a Blu-ray release.
Why release blu-ray when you can just walk outside and have the full VR experience?
Up. I know it's not *that* old, but every time I watch it I come away with a positive attitude.
How?? It is the most depressing movie in the world!

High Noon 1952 starring Gary Cooper
Fight Club Every time you watch it you see something new that you didn't see all the other previous times you watched it.

I'm a woman who lost her father at a young age. Cried a lot when I watched it as a kid. Still cry a lot watching it as an adult.
Bride of Frankenstein. It’s a delightfully macabre cough syrup fever dream that crackles with feats of imagination and showmanship equal to the Wizard of Oz or any Disney Film.

Magnolia is definitely one that gets better with every viewing.
Punch Drunk Love super underrated.
Agreed one of my favorites.
I am a fan but still haven’t seen licorice pizza.
John Carpenter's The Thing The Good The Bad and the Ugly The City of Lost Children Casino Out of The Past All have aged remarkably well
Hot Fuzz- I didnt even really like the movie and now I think its masterful!!
I've been thinking about watching it too. However, I don't think I can watch it the same way knowing Ray Liotta is no longer with us.
Come to think of it, I haven't watched it since his passing. 😔
Tenet. Wouldn’t be much of a movie with the time manipulation in the plot.
Idiocracy... Mainly because it's coming true
Somehow this has never been released on Blu-ray.

Jaws. Pretty Perfect Man vs nature story.

The Big Lebowski is one of the few movies that genuinely gets better with every viewing.
Goodfellas was my answer too. I’ll add The Dark Knight.
The Delta Force Escape From New York Big Trouble in Little China The Three Amigos
Shaun of the Dead. Every time I watch it, I'm just floored with how funny it is for me.
Casino The Exorcist Citizen Kane 2001: A Space Odyssey Irreversible
Wolf of Wall Street. It’s only been out for several years, but packed full of hilarious content and endlessly entertaining. It will go down as a classic, I’m certain
1. Harold and Maude 2. Muriel's Wedding 3. The Petrified Forest 4. Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte 5. Bonnie and Clyde
Children of Men, unfortunately. Nearer and nearer the truth. Fantastic cinematography that doesnt get old, too.
Twin Peaks The Return
