Quoted from PismoArcade:Toy Story
You meant Toy Story 4 right?
Name a better tornado movie? Nope can’t do it. Twister is awesome machine for its time. Now you are getting on crazy Levi level.
This isn’t mission difficult, it’s Mission Impossible (only 5)
Shawshank Redemption
The big Lebowski
Raiders Lost Ark
Sherlock Holmes - Game of Shadows
The Man From Uncle
Sky fall
Star Wars series (IV onwards)
Pirates of Caribbean -all
U571
Payback
It’s tough to get through, but There Will Be Blood is always my dark horse answer outside the usual greats. Daniel Day Lewis turns in, for my money, the best performance ever playing a character that epitomized those guys that shaped the US at the turn of the century.

Quoted from pinmister:Surprised nobody else likes Napoleon Dynamite?(Freaking Idiots!) [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
GOSH!
Quoted from pinmister:[quoted image]
“Are you gonna eat all your tots?” “I’m saving them for later, GOSH!”
When Harry Met Sally (For me, every scene is perfect)
Silence of the Lambs (when an older-than-middle-age villain is behind bars, and is still frightening to the viewer, and he's, in a way, the hero of the movie, it's hard to beat a film like this for it's genre)
Godfather 1&2 (I still watch these as 1 long film)
Fargo (black comedy at it's finest)
Star Wars (The attention to detail and so many aspects of how revolutionary the filmmaking was for its time...still holds up)

i just got to say... pinsiders here seem very American-centric. Nobody watches foreign films?? Fellini, Bergman, Bunuel, Kurosawa, Renoir, Truffaut, Miyazaki... there's a whole other world out there besides the Godfather, Star Wars and the Big Lebowski. https://www.imdb.com/list/ls004929793/

Here´s another spoiler for that film. There will be boredom, There will be overacting and there will be the worst soundtrack ever.
Too funny watching the parents in Poltergeist rolling and smoking joints on their bed! Never mind the doobies what's going on Caroline?
I rather liked Daniel Day Lewis in there will be blood. But this critic hated it.

4. A Clockwork Orange (1971) UK
3. Run Lola Run (1998) Germany
2. Urotsuki Doji (1989) Japan

Okay then:
Perfect Blue (Japan)
The Host (Korea)
The Gods must be Crazy (South Africa / Botswana)
Delicatessen (France)
The Holy Grail (Great Britain)
And if you've never seen Satoshi Kon's Perfect Blue, it's about as close to what an Animated feature would be like if Brian De Palma made one.
My top 5 Foreign films..
1. The Seven Samurai
2. Das Boot.... the long Version !
3. Strange Brew ! Its Canadian doncha know!
4. Throne of Blood
5. Ran

5. King Fu Hustle
I feel like people are coming up
With movies that others don’t know, just to say how have you not seen that. You don’t know movies. Out of 5 movies I get having some that people don’t know, but 5 somewhat obscure movies seems like “look how much more I know than you”.

If there is one thing Pinsiders are good at, it’s veering afar from a topic’s original premise as a thread progresses.

And that's a good thing.
Nobody wants to read 200 posts where everyone lists Citizen Kane, Shawshank, Shindler's List, and Godfather.
Those are knee-jerk answers from people who hate cinema.
I'd rather watch Polyester than slog through Birth Of A Nation, no matter how **groundbreaking** the critics say it is.
Quoted from vid1900:And that's a good thing.

Fuck yes. There’s lots of lesser-known films that are EXCELLENT. Indie films, films from other countries, films from decades past. Just because it wasn’t a huge hit in English doesn’t mean it’s not a great movie
