    I'm going to make a list of classic movies that you should see. Feel free to contribute. By classic I don't just mean "classic" movies, I would also like to have well quoted or just plain awesome movies. Also I'd like to include if they are part if the watch instantly on Netflix, so if it says Netflix next to it then it is.

    Bananas
    Dr. Strangelove (Netflix)
    Anchorman
    Pitch Black
    Ghostbusters (Netflix)

    Snatch is a epic film in my opinion. Its funny, with brillant comic timing and altogether excellent. Although it might just be British Humour but either way worth a watch.

    I agree with Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Its by the same director as Snatch and is just as good.

    I'll get a few more in later.

    oi, grif you should compile all these in the original post.

    It would be neat to see a community list of quality movies.

    Full Metal Jacket
    Being John Malkovich
    Snatch
    The Big Lebowski

    Probably not a good idea for a community to pick quality movies... because a movie like Corkey Ramano would end up on there... lets be honest... the masses have terrible taste in films.

    Hmm... I don't watch many movies, but there's a few that are great:

    Taken
    The Dark Knight
    I Am Legend
    Defiance

    All great movies filled with action.
