Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day
*The Terminator […]
They dropped, for whatever reason, the The after the first movie.
Because there’s always more than one after that haha
He’s no longer The Terminator, just A Terminator
Thanks :) The The: also a good band, btw.
You’re twice the the he ever was!
Because I haven’t seen it mentioned:

I fucking love In the Loop, but it took me a few viewings to understand what the hell was going on. I should watch it again.
The TV show was really good too, but the movie captures the absurdity so well.
Movie was more accessible, Thick of It series was blacker, crueller humour
Shoutout for mentioning Brick. Modern noir masterpiece I never see mentioned online. Great, eclectic list overall!
Most of mine are already listed but here’s a couple more.
Army of Darkness
Dogma
The Protector
Clue
Full Metal Jacket
One Flew Over the Cukoo’s Nest
Howl’s Moving Castle
Four Rooms
Pulp Fiction
- Caddyshack
- Animal House
- Goodfellas
- The Godfather
- Shawshank Redemption
- Schindler’s List
- The Shining
- One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
Idiocracy. It was funny when it came out. Now it hurts.
That might explain why I didn’t like it too much. I saw it last year, it probably hits too close to home :/
Seriously. Hulk Hogan spoke at the RNC thing tonight. Idiocracy is real. It’s happening.
Big Trouble in Little China
Princess Bride
Romancing the Stone
The Shining
Full Metal Jacket
Memento
American History X and The Green Mile
Big Trouble in Little China
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Brazil
A Clockwork Orange
12 Monkeys
The Abominable Dr.Phibes
3 from Gilliam? Agreed, tho Might as well just watch everything he’s associated with.
Fisher King & Time Bandits are lovely. Zero Theorem, the Man Who Killed Don Quixote, Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
All the Monty Python, of course.
Clockwork Orange was pivotal in my late teens, early twenties.
Eraserhead as well, other Lynch works: Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks & Lost Highway hold solid ground for me.
