Movies that should not be missed

[TaylorEar]

That's such a subjective question! (for me Grease 2 is a must - but that opinion is not necessarily shared by a lot.) What kinds of movies do you like?

As for what's on Netflix right now I would say my MUST SEE's are:

Blue Ruin
The Big Lebowski
How to Die in Oregon (one of the most amazing things I have ever seen in my life)
Sophie's Choice
Melancholia
Punch Drunk Love
Me and You and Everyone We Know
Mary and Max
Good Will Hunting (I basically watch this once a week)
*And then of course every old school Disney movie that is currently on netflix - Dumbo, Robbin Hood, The Aristocats, The Rescuers

Also - not a movie BUT my favorite show EVER is on Netflix - Sons of Anarchy. I am about to set out on the journey of re-watching the series from the beginning... I'm trying to emotionally prepare.

 

[Cogswel_Cogs]

Arsenic and Old Lace
The Thin Man (and all later Thin Man movies)
The Philadelphia Story
Adam's Rib
Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House
I love classics.

I do also
Would Add
Harvey
Casablanca
Rebecca

Not classics but love them
Let It Ride
Shallow Grave

 

[Mizzoufan]

Just a few I didn't see named

Harvey
Kramer verses Kramer
The World According to Garp (early Robin Williams movie)
Steele Magnolias
SWeet Home Alabama

 

[CourtasanSatine]

Tossing in the Silence of the Lambs films, especially if you watch Hannibal since the show sets up what eventually happens in the films (if I remember this right).

 

[Mouse House Mama]

The Color Purple. It is my favorite movie of all time.

 

[diz8297]

The Breakfast Club

 

[mjkacmom]

Goodfellas
Raising Arizona
This is spinal tap
Rear Window
Rocky
Die Hard
The Jerk

 

[Imzadi]

Since you are a teacher:

Freedom Writers
Mr Holland's Opus
Dead Poets Society
Dangerous Minds


I like inspired by real life dramas:
Secretariat
Erin Brockovich
All the President's Men

Don't know if either of these are on Netflix yet, probably too new:
Lincoln
Argo

Breaking Away, when you put breaking Bad, I thought at first it was breaking away, when it come out I was the age of the age (18) of the main characters, I so wanted to fall in love like that to a beautiful girl early in life

I agree. I also thought she was going to say Breaking Away which is an excellent movie.

 

[Stitchypoo626]

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and while your at it you might as well watch the sequel as well.

This is a great list! I started thinking about movies when on The Great Movie Ride a few weeks ago. There were so many movies throughout that ride that I have never seen or forgot about. I often sit down to watch something and spemd more time trying to find a movie than watching one.

A few said this was a very subjective topic, and that is true. I will go though these responses and form a list that interests me.

Thanks to all for the replies!

I stumbled across the movie Nebraska awhile back on Netflix. Had never heard of it but I really liked it.
Also I just discovered a Netflix original series Grace & Frankie or maybe its Frankie & Grace, lol. Stars Jane Fonda & Lily Tomlin.
