Pretty much everyone has given great recommendations, especially Apocalypse Now and The Wild Bunch.

The only recommendation that I can really add is to take number 159, The Fog (2005) and move it slowly away from the dvd player...don't let it come close, you may be tempted, but no...don't let it happen. For the love of god, don't let it happen.

It isn't a war movie, despite what Blockbuster tags it as. It stands alone as one of the most ferociously original pieces of filmmaking of any generation.

The only reason I haven't watched that one yet is because I got it in my head that I should read Heart of Darkness first...can't get through that book for the life of me. Conrad makes Lovecraft look like Dean Koontz...

I think I'll just give up on the stupid book and watch Apocalypse Now really soon. I've put ot off way too long :)

Watch Ford Fairlane A.S.A.P it's a fuckin' classic! One of my favorite comedy films ever.

When I have a lot of movies piled up that I haven't watched yet, I separate them into 2 piles

1) Movies that might not be so great
2) Movies I think I'll really like

I watch the not-so-good movies first, then save the best for last...That way the possibly bad movies don't seem AS bad (like if Britney Spears had to follow Children Of Bodom, she would suck so much harder :p)...and the good ones, are even better :)

Then, when I get to the good ones...I close my eyes, reach into the pile, and we watch whatever I pull out...Makes it kinda fun

At the moment my DVD collection is abysmal. Good DVDs, but there are only about 20. Seriously, when I get a job, my lifes goal is to get a DVD collection that big. Watching them, I'll think about later!

I concur...

[GorePhobia]

I have over 300 DVDs but for the most part I have seen mostly all of them either in the theatre, on TV, on the actual DVD itself. I do have a few....maybe 5-10 that I have never seen.
