So I just watched The Boondock Saints..

Just finished the movie like 2 minutes ago. It was the first time I've seen the movie and WOW! I loved it! So much in fact, that I'm tempted to say that it's my new favorite movie. ;) Anyway, what are your thoughts on this movie? Also, I'd like to see if you guys have any suggestions of movies for me that you consider "classics" or just really great movies. I think I've missed out on some really great movies (for instance, I haven't seen Pulp Fiction yet. I've heard sooo much about it but haven't seen it) and I'd like to see what you guys think I should get caught up on. ;) So I guess the true nature of this thread is partly to give homage to The Boondock Saints, and partly a recommend-Forerunner-117-your-favorite-movies thread. :P

Okay well I've gotten a pretty good response so I decided I'll go ahead and make a list of the movies suggested so far:

Pulp Fiction

Se7en

Equilibrium

Oldboy

Twelve Monkeys

Amercian History X

Fight Club

The Departed

The Warriors

Apocalypse Now

All About Lily Chou-Chou

Lost in Translation

Blade Runner

There Will Be Blood

Trainspotting

A Clockwork Orange

Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas

Shaun Of The Dead

No Country For Old Men

Wayne's World

Unforgiven

Sideways

Black Hawk Down

Requiem For A Dream

Epic movie. Have you seen Equilibrium?JStahls

No, I haven't. I'll take that as a suggestion to see it though! :P

A huge, overblown mess of a film.

Watch Oldboy.

Best part is when the gun goes off and kills the cat. Oh and the barowner with tourettes haha.

Watch the Departed if you haven't yet. Alec Baldwin and Mark Wahlberg have some hilarious lines in it.

lol! Yeah I actually had to rewind it and watch it again because I didn't even realize that the cat was next to the gun xD

Anyway, added:

Fight Club

The Departed

and The Warriors

Some really great-sounding suggestions so far! :D

Pulp Fiction

Se7en

Equilibrium

Oldboy

Twelve Monkeys

Amercian History X

Forerunner-117

Those are some damn good suggestions

Pulp Fiction

Apocalypse Now

Lost in Translation

All About Lily Chou-Chou

Blade Runner

There Will be Blood

Oldboy

damn good suggestions

JStahls

I've actually seen Casablanca multiple times. :) Very, very good movie. I'm a big fan of Humphrey Bogart.

Anyone have the prayer from Boondock Saints that he does? Ya know the famous one?RMage

Here it is:

The Family Prayer

"And Shepherds we shall be

For thee, my Lord, for thee.

Power hath descended forth from Thy hand

Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands.

So we shall flow a river forth to Thee

And teeming with souls shall it ever be.

In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti."

TBS is a great movie, surprisingly it got bad reviews which is weird.H8sMikeMoore

Yeah I heard it was released pretty soon after a big shooting or something so that affected how many people saw it at the time etc.

No, it's not surprising that it got bad reviews. go to rottentomatoes and it didn't just get bad reviews it got awful reviews.
