Recommend 10 Movies
 
Not just horror - anything.

Not your "Top 10 of all Time" or anything...
I suppose you can if you want, but this is a very painful task in my experience.

I'd just like each of us to recommend 10 movies they've seen at some point in their life, with no specific intend other than to share movies that over time, people should check out

Then, we're open to discuss our choices or other suggestions, or not.
After that - if you've got another 10 lined up - have at it.

Here's mine:

North by Northwest
The Super Mario Brothers movie
Tetsuo: The Iron Man
The Signal (2007)
Mister Vampire
Batman: Under the Red Hood
Crawlspace
Logans Run
The Wizard of Oz
The Warriors

Nothing too deep or of great cinematic importance there, just some things I've enjoyed/found intreresting in the past.

So, hit me.

Re-cycle - never heard of it. how would you describe it?
Dark Remains - don't know this one. how would you describe it?
Salems Lot (1979) - never saw it. checked it out from library and it was defective. I think it's a little tougher to plan on the extra time to see it. What is it, like 4 hours?
The Protector (thai) - never heard of it
Bloodsport
Murder by Death - I wrote a journal assignment for school the night I saw this on TV. ::big grin::
Naked Gun

Yellow Submarine - once in a lifetime film, deeply spiritual
La La Land - more than a 'musical', inspiring
Bob Roberts - in case you missed it first time around. very funny, sharp, and good music
The Prestige - quite a journey
John Dies at the End - very sharp, especially first half
Bogus Journey - lots of fun
The Great Dictator - worth one watch
Reds - one of a kind epic journey
An Honest Liar (2014) - fun doc exposing fake psychic powers
Unacknowledged (2017) - jaw dropping, challenging, but a bit depressing.

Dark Remains - don't know this one. how would you describe it? - (As an atmospheric ghost b-movie with some good scares)

Salems Lot (1979) - never saw it. checked it out from library and it was defective. I think it's a little tougher to plan on the extra time to see it. What is it, like 4 hours? - (3 hours. With the first hour taking its time introducing the characters and building up tension)

The Protector (thai) - never heard of it - (Tony Jaa)

The Wraith is a film from 1987 with cool race cars and race scenes, good music and a supernatural revenge element.

A Simple Plan is a 1998 film that stars Bill Paxton. A man and his brother discover a small plane that has crashed in the wintery wilderness. They discover a bag full of money and a horrific story unfolds as the two brothers decide to keep the money and not report the crashed plane.

oh yeah, I remember that description, I always wanted to see that. Thanks for the rec. I like those kind of movies, in the wilderness, isolated, tough decisions.
