To Kill A Mocking Bird

Life Is Beautiful
Godfather I
Lord Of The Rings trilogy (Best trilogy ever made IMO)
Gandhi
3:10 To Yuma
11th Hour
An Inconvenient Truth

Pulp Fiction
Schindler's List
Dr. Strangelove
Psycho
Saving Private Ryan
American Gangster
Requiem For A Dream (is almost life altering!)
The Bridge On The River Kwai
The Great Dictator
The Green Mile
Napoleon Dynamite (one very weird movie)
Into The Wild
Million Dollar Baby
Trainspotting
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (Phir Hera Pheri was lifted off this one. This one is much much better)

EDIT: Add The Great Debaters and Rocket Science to my recommended movies list.

Best War Movies:
Der Untergang
Schindler's List (1993)
The Big Parade (1925)
Apocalypse Now (1979)
Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
Paths of Glory (1957)
The Pianist (2002)
Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Das Boot (1981)
The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)
Mihai Viteazul (1970)

duh!! You missed...

1. Bridge too Far
2. Platoon
3. The Longest day
4. The Great Escape (though its an escape movie but I'd still put in war segment)
5. The thin red line
6. Assembly
7. Brotherhood of war.......there are more but these were lke had to mention

and the phenominal my fav "Black Hawk Down"

I would put "Band Of Brothers" as well..........I knw I knw its a TV Series but it so damm beautifully crafted it in no way short to any war movie

@ritwick Wild Things is not that bad AFA the plot goes, but yea the move was more popular coz of the scene..............

I would recomend BOUND if you already havent seen it............ its about a lesbian couple planned heist, it also has one steamy scene but the plot (though pretty simple) really keeps you at the edge of the seat and you really care for the characters............exectution is good.......and BTW Bound was the directorial debut for our Wachoski Bros

My recent addations

1. Untraceable..... Plot was interesting technically good but execution was bit predictable...

its serial killer who posts live videos of his victims on the Internet and more hits he gets for his video sooner the victim dies. Somewhat similar to saw as well.....................6.5/10 for me

2. Blindness...nnow this was movie that I'd say was worth watching.....again only for serious movie lovers........it gives a new direction to "worlds end due to infection". Plot revolves in a city which is ravaged by an epidemic of white blindness" every body goes blind. similar to i am legend or 28 days later BUT BUT very slow, subtle, less aggressive and very real, believeable, I found this more far more depressing than "I am Legend".......movie is more about human endurance, emotions, morals under adverse situations rather than action.............so only right serious move gores should choose to see this movie.........7/10

Cidade De Deus - 9.5/10

@SAM, hey, how about d movies I mentioned in my earlier post.
Have u seen them?

I've not yet seen them, but thinking of.
Going to see the comedy ones but, "Das Experiment" seems a torture movie. And, I can't bear them.
So...

Sex Drive(Unrated Edition)-6/10...I'm bit of late to watch this movie...

[rohan_mhtr]

WTF Khosla ka ghosla is at number 8 on imdb in best comedy catogeries !! It is good allright but 8 !!

[rhitwick]

Forest Gump and Comedy???
I don't think so, it has funny moments but can't be branded as funny.

Monty Python and Holy Grail: Funny may be, I could not get d movie. Why it was made? What d director wanted to portray through it...nothing.

And to me Andaz Apna Apna>>>Hera Pheri.
Hera Pheri has a few funny moments and some classic dialogs but Andaz Apna Apna is way better than that. It just won't let u stop laughing.

Iske upar-ka nahi dekha

I tired watching Monty Python !! Got so bored in 30 mins that I deleted iy right away!! I dont like it's humour!! Slapstick British humour is not for me!

[ajayritik]

WTF Khosla ka ghosla is at number 8 on imdb in best comedy catogeries !! It is good allright but 8 !!

+1
I agree with you

[eggman]

Don't see IMDB lists for these genre specific best of lists!! The way the compile these list is ****!!!

They will do it tag wise!! That is FOrest Gump has Comedy | Drama | Romance as its genre tag!!! So they'll just sort out the films having COMEDY tags and post the highest scoring one!! Airplane is more of a comedy flick than Forest Gump , but IMDB wont recognize it!

That's why THE GOOD,THE BAD AND THE UGLY is their best ACTION flick and GODFATHER top rated their top rated THRILLER!!!

[abyss88]

Cast away is another good movie...tom hanks puts a great show as usual

[abyss88]

"This is england" is also a good movie which deals with the issue of racism in england during 1980's another movie is "somers town"..they are both made in england
