Top ten must see films?

Scroll to see replies

1. Now is Good, with Dakota Fanning. It's quite a new film you might have heard of about a girl who is dying of a terminal illness and has a list of things she wants to do before she dies. The film didn't really go down well with critics but it is honestly one of the most inspiring and moving films I've ever seen, I literally cried from start to finish!
8. Life of Pi
9. The Hobbit

I really recommend reading the books for these films, if you haven't already :h:

I've read Life of Pi and The Hobbit. The book for Now is Good is called Before I Die, right? I haven't read that one but I will do soon!

Mine changes all the time and I have about 50 films I'd want to list, but I think my current 10 (with some slight deviation as certain films work best with their trilogy buddies) would be:

Love Exposure
Das Boot
The Lives of Others
Requiem for a Dream
Downfall
Vengeance Trilogy (not a proper trilogy, but never mind)
The Godfather (1&2, 3 is an abomination)
Schindler's List
A Town Called Panic
Once Upon a Time in America

Some great choices buddy, particularly "The Lives of Others", "Downfall", "Godfather" and "Schindler's List"!

Django Unchained has probably forced it's way into my top 10.

5. 500 Days of Summer
6. 21 Jump Street
7. Stop-Loss (one of my all-time faves)
