/my selection
//going to see a few haters.

Maechyll: Because of Fark recommendations: Idiocracy (meh), Big Lebowski (STFU Donny, I loved it) and last week--V for Vendetta (Oh yeah!)

Oh, and Event Horizon (meh).

thisispete: saw Dark City due to a Fark recommendation.

I voted for you for that one alone. Great movie and Jennifer Connelly to boot!

Idiocracy.

Firefly (the series) and Serenity (the Firefly movie) - in that order.

/The list of books you should read might be fun, too.

If you like awful movies as much as I do, watch the following in no particular order:

Carnosaurs 3
Sgt. Kabukiman, NYPD
Undead or Alive: A Zombedy
The Room
Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus / Crocosaurus
Battlefield Earth
Kazaam
Meet the Feebles
Manos: The Hands of Fate

Oldboy, Audition and Ichi the Killer - all from Fark comments.

Steve Martin in The Jerk deserves a mention, if only for the number of times I've seen a reference to "hates these *****'s" (where *** is some inanimate object being shot, only incidentally).

Sticky Hands: No Evil Dead movies?

I don't like you people any more, you are all going on my ignore list.

Fark is slipping if it took 76 entries for an Evil Dead reference.

/Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my boomstick!

Whoever came up with this survey is a Real Genius, which should also be required viewing. Seriously, thank you. Great idea.

Man Bites Dog

Vampire's Kiss

The Long Kiss Goodnight

The Fall
Downfall

We're not necessarily talking great or even good movies - we're talking required Farkdom movies:
Office Space
The Big Lebowski
Pulp Fiction
Raising Arizona
Caddy Shack
Snakes on a Plane
Airplane
The Dark Knight
etc...

Memento

Naturally, I'd recommend just about anything Kurosawa ever did (with particular mention of those collaborations with Toshiro Mifune, of course).

I don't know that I'd call those films required viewing for Farkers, per se, but they're still damn impressive. I'd imagine that many of the people here would get a kick out of 'em.


The Wizard of Frobozz: Quite possibly the best western ever: Unforgiven

That would have to go hand-in-hand with the Dollars trilogy, but ESPECIALLY The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.


wxboy: By the end of this thread I fully expect to see every movie ever made be named at least once.

Except maybe "Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus".

Actually, you make a good point.

I can't wholeheartedly recommend Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus.

I *will* recommend the hell out of Sharktopus. I tried my best to convince some TFers to check that jazz out.


LemonYellowSun: Watched City of God due to a Fark thread on foreign films.

Excellent idea!

Had I been an Academy member, it would have received my vote for Best Picture over The Return of the King. I thought it was THAT good.


Mog32Kupo: Hobgoblins, that was some good MST3k right there

DEFINITELY one of the worst movies they ever covered, and THAT'S saying something.

Escape from New York

/for the cans

nicklby: Four hours ... and nobody's said Shawshank yet???

[www.theboxset.com image 300x170]

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

excellent choice.

way south: [dl.dropbox.com image 640x480]

Found it because of a geek thread, and will never let it go.

/Honestly, someone should do a big budget version of the manga already.

What is that?

way south: /Honestly, someone should do a big budget version of the manga already.

Why bother when one determined man with a G4 is all you need?

/Really, there should just be more of his work as anything

gonjie: and for the Anime group;
Akira
Revenge of the Overfiend

How about Cowboy Bebop, before Keanu Reeves ruins it for everyone?

/also, No Country For Old Men

No Serenity yet? Weird.
Weird Science
Space
Going to have to reconfirm:

Spinal Tap
Airplane
Life of Brian and Holy Grail, along with some of the series episodes, Ministry of Silly Walks and Argument Department
Idiocracy
Evil Dead
Blues Brothers
Lebowski
Caddyshack
Animal House
Raising Arizona
Office Space

hmm. I can only think of movies I have not watched because I read about them in FARK

would not have watched "Manos hands of Fate" if it had not been on MST3K

Madame Ovary: The Fall
Downfall

Falling Down

Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer
To Live and Die in LA
LA Confidential
Onion Field
Road to Perdition
Miller's Crossing

I saw Infernal Affairs which was remade by Scorsese with Nicholson as The Departed. The original Hong Kong version was 10 times better and don't pass that off as snobbery until you see it for yourself and no I don't speak Cantonese. That was the best recommendation I've gotten off of a Farker. Vera Farmiga should have her SAG card pulled after the job she did in that movie especially when you see how well the Chinese actress did it. Martin Sheen did a better job than the original actor and even Mark Wahlberg stepped it up a notch too. The rest of the cast was worse and are probably flossing out pieces of scenery to this day.

Tropic thunder... Seriously, nut less monkies could get green lighted faster than you.

Wedding Crashers... are we gonna get hopped up and make some bad decisions? Play a little game called just the tip...just to see how it feels or ouch ouch your on my hair!

Holy shiat! I can't believe I forgot this one: Murder by Death

I watched (and thoroughly enjoyed) Kingdom of Heaven:Director's Cut specifically because of Fark's recommendation.

Police Academy
Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment
Police Academy 3: Back In Training
Police Academy 4: Citizens On Patrol
Police Academy 5: Operation Miami Beach
Police Academy 6: City Under Siege
Police Academy 7: Mission to Moscow

Goonies
Mosquito Coast
Lost Boys
Tropic Thunder

Things I think haven't been mentioned

Lake Placid (For Betty White)
Hamlet w/ Patrick Steward & David Tennant (For Picard vs the Doctor)
Fido (a boy and his zombie)
Toy Story 1,2,3
Cars/Wall-E (Either or. YMMV for which you prefer)
Red Dawn

Oh, and Cocoon...

I forgot one.

Is 'inadvertent comedy' a valid description for a movie?

I saw The Soviet Story because of a Baltic farker's recommendation, I think King Corn might have been another.

I'll recommend Cesky Sen if you have a dark sense of humor to your (foreign) documentaries.

Battlefield Earth

Only place I ever heard about it was here.

jj325: Not required, but any Farker who hasn't seen the original In-Laws with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin is missing out....


Serpentine!!!!

"Senor Pepe, would you like some water?"
"Si, si! Aqua fria! Aqua fria!"
