Tarantino directed Pulp Fiction. Great movie. I Love Samuel Jackson's character, Jules. As for Django, not too much. Pretty entertaining movie until the end. I'm sorry. Eye gouging and biting and breaking limbs in that scene with Dacrappio and the two slaves fighting each other to the death" ruined it. Or maybe I'm just old.
Same for some war movies. I can watch Full metal Jacket any day. I can't watch Platoon. I guess it's the realism or level of brutality in some movies.
Black Hawk Down
The Highwaymen
Shawshank
The Green Mile
The best movie I ever saw? Shawshank Redemption.
25 years later I remember when, where, and with whom, I saw it. No matter when I see it on tv, I just watch it from whatever part I come in on. Flawless.
To this day the highest rated movie on IMDb.
Lonesome Dove is a mini series, but it's a great one. Brando was great as Vito Corleone in GFI.
I am definitely a movie buff, and I love just about every genre. I'm late to the theater here but I'll be the annoying guy spilling my popcorn on everyone as I Cosmo Kramer my way to my seat:
Cinderella Man
Patriot
Signs
Silence of the Lambs
Rudy
Hoosiers
Indiana Jones (the originals, not the Kingdom of the Crustal Skull)
Remember the Titans
Happy Gilmore
Braveheart
Gladiator
The Right Stuff
The Fugitive (and US Marshals)
Better Off Dead
Breakfast Club
Wedding Crashers
Sea Biscuit
Elf
...a whole bunch more, and many that have already been said. Great thread!
How could I have forgotten Silence of the Lambs? That was a good movie.
And I forgot Jeremiah Johnson! I have the CRS disease.
I've been meaning to watch that...I'm into that historical stuff, and HBO usually does such a great job.
and no one's even mentioned Deer Hunter.
I second @greshamdisco on Chernobyl. It's really compelling. I think it's really a good time to do a subject like that because the CGI/FX have gotten good enough to show how effed up the radiation and it's effects were...though it can be gnarly at times to watch.
I was thinking during one of the early episodes that it was almost like a horror/postapocalyse movie but instead of zombies or supernatural stuff it was the fallout and radiation. Since it was the Soviets you had the mindblowingly/frustratingly dumb decisions of a horror movie too. And yet it is based on real events.

Too many, I could go on and on...
Shane ... Jack Palance was great
The Wild Bunch ...too grafic for John Wayne
One Eyed Jack's.. great revenge story , Brando starred in it and directed it.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof .... young Liz Taylor, Paul Newman and a stellar performance by Burl Ives.
fitzdawg. Walk Hard, This Is Spinal Tap and Best In show are all great mock-umentaries. This Is Spiral Tap gets my nod because it's great, it mocks a real and also great musical documentary ( The Last Waltz) and it was very original.
Forrest Gump. It's got it all.
