      I don’t see these enough

      Fully believe Equilibrium would be our Matrix if the Matrix didn’t exist

    Krull is one that stays in all my libraries. It’s so obscure yet has names like Liam Neeson, Robbie Coltrane, and David Battley. It was my dad’s favorite movie.

    No particular order. Also, it’s movies that I watched, can’t speak on essentials that I might be missing.

    It’s kinda hard to make a list on essentials tho. Because your personal taste obviously plays a big role. I can’t see my girlfriend liking more than 10 percent of those…

    Schindlers List

    Gladiator

    No country for old men

    The grand Budapest hotel

    The big Lebowski

    The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers

    Star Wars (the original one)

    Requiem for a dream

    Pulp fiction

    The good, the bad, the ugly

    The lives of others

    La vita é Bella

    All quiet on the western front (1930 version)

    The dark knight

    The Truman Show

    2001: Space odyssey

    Alien

    7 Samurai

    Princess Mononoke

    Trainspotting

    Boyz N the Hood

    Scarface

    The Godfather 1, 2

    The Matrix

    Clockwork Orange

    Shutter Island

    Kingdom of Heaven

    Wolf of Wall Street

    Honorable mentions because they are popular and everybody always talks about them (I like a lot of them, too. Don’t consider them essentials tho):

    Inception

    Interstellar

    Fight Club

    Harry Potter

    Return of the King

    Rest of Star Wars (whatever people consider the good ones at last)

    Saving Private Ryan

    Django Unchained

    Toy Story

    The Lion King

      Listing a bunch of decaprio movies and not adding Romeo and Juliet feels wrong. Everyone should experience it at least once.

    Secretary (2002)

    Think what you want, this movie has layers of depth to it. Every time I watch it I feel like I learn something new about a character and why they are the way they are.
