Yo!
As a film student I realize I haven't seen nearly enough films. This is the sad truth... and I will stand for it NO LONGER!
SO! Ive compiled a list of 10 films that i haven't seen but are regarded as films you MUST see before you die.
I'm gunna list them here so you can see them and maybe join me in my journey of Filmage! I'll put up little descriptions of the films for you guys... just for fun
The seven Samurai A poor village under attack by bandits recruits seven unemployed samurai to help them defend themselves. The oldest film on my list and probably the one I want to see the most!
12 Angry menA dissenting juror in a murder trial slowly manages to convince the others that the case is not as obviously clear as it seemed in court.Ever since seeing 'A few good men' I lurves me some court dramas
. But the plot does seem genuinely interesting.
The seventh Seal A man seeks answers about life, death, and the existence of God as he plays chess against the Grim Reaper during the Black Plague.Its a grim plot and I love the concept. It looks like a really thought provoking film.
Dr. Strangelove An insane general starts a process to nuclear holocaust that a war room of politicians and generals frantically try to stop. I'm intriged to know how its considered a comedy. I'm really looking forward to this one!
Taxi DriverA Vietnam war veteran gets a job as a taxi driver in new york city. observing the city and its inhabitants with disgust from his taxi he just cant sit there and do nothing...I actually saw this before making this list. Its a fucking MASTERPIECE. Trust me its just so well made and deep you can't not like it.
Boyz’n the hoodSaga of a group of childhood friends growing up in a Los Angeles ghetto.Ive seen clips of this years ago and Ive wanted to see it ever since.
The ThingScientists in the Antarctic are confronted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of the people that it kills.Ive wanted to see this for years. Its a classic horror film that everyone loves to bits.
Princess MononokeOn a journey to find the cure for a Tatarigami's curse, Ashitaka finds himself in the middle of a war between the forest and Tataraba, a mining colony. In this quest he also meets San, the Mononoke HimeIm a big fan of Japanese Anime and Ive heard nothing but good things about this!
Natural born killersTwo victims of traumatized childhoods become lovers and psychopathic serial murderers irresponsibly glorified by the mass media.I saw the first ten minutes in class once... 'Kick ass' is all I can say...
Requiem for a DreamThe hopes and dreams of four ambitious people are shattered when their drug addictions begin spiraling out of control.You can't go wrong with a film that has this soundtrack
[link] AWESOME
So there ya go! I'm so watching these... you should too!
Films I must see before Zombie apocolypse

"As long as the world shall last there will be wrongs, and if no one objected and no one rebelled, those wrongs would last forever."
I've only seen one of those films - The Thing and it RAWKS! It's the first film I was ever too scared to watch (also one of the first scary films I was allowed to watch...under age of course
I'm really interested in The Seventh Seal, Taxi Driver and Natural Born Killers (I may have seen the latter). Thanks for the great list sire. I may do something similar when I get subscribed again

don't watch it when you're high it's a trip.
And be warned, it's a total downer
there's like nothing positive in that movie.
And it's very graphic.
If it leaves you feeling down then it just means its done what its meant to. Thats a sign of a good film.

"If your parents never had children, chances are ... neither will you."
don't get me wrong,it's sad, but it's still amazing.
the use of drugs get kind of annoying too. it's like "okay we get it, they're addicts, can we move on now?"

"As long as the world shall last there will be wrongs, and if no one objected and no one rebelled, those wrongs would last forever."
It was awesome! Animation was great and so was the story. I didn't feel much for the characters though like I did for Howl's moving castle or spirited away... but Thumbs up none the less!

"If your parents never had children, chances are ... neither will you."
Nah I didn't care all that much for the characters but the story, animation and everything like that were spot on!
