    I have, for about 6 months now, been trying to watch every single movie that was "cool" or interesting since 1960.

    It started out with a desire to watch as an adult all Disney movies. Then it morphed into all Bond movies (except for the non-canonicals).

    Now it's turned into pretty much any and all movies. Here is my list, scratched out are ones I have seen, green are recent next-in line.

    Turns out there was A LOT I had never seen before, about 70% because of the cult restrictions!!

    Batman – 1966 – didn’t like it
    The Aristocats – 1970 – seen it

    Fiddler on the Roof – 1971 – seen it, can’t remember much – Netflix

    Diamonds are Forever – 1971

    Disney’s Robin Hood – 1973 – Seen it, can’t remember much

    IloveTTATT2 - I see from your OP that you've seen Alien (1979).

    Did you enjoy that?

    If so, I'd like to recommend the first sequel (Aliens, 1986). It's a different film compared with the first film - the action is a lot higher - but it's a great sequel that adds to the alien mythology.

  • ILoveTTATT2

    Hi Blondie, almost everything post 2016 is safe to say I've seen it, hence it's not on the list.

    haha

    LoveUniHateExams,

    I enjoyed Alien quite a bit, yes. Definitely watching all of the series.

    But the thing is, I got tired of watching all movies in the list in a sequence. i.e. if there were 10 cool movies that I hadn't seen in 1982, I'd be stuck watching a lot of 1982 movies.

    So right now I am seeing one movie per year, i.e. Passion of the Christ 2004 then Brokeback Mountain 2005... until I hit 2016 and then back to the 70's with Clockwork Orange...

    So I'l get there... soon!!

    I love A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH, all the ROCKY movies. Make sure you see those.

    I'm also catching up on gradually on movies and books that were disapproved by the cult leaders. Racing around trying to keep up with the "theocratic routine" didn't leave time for much of anything else anyway.

    I'll find your lists helpful as I didn't really know where to start. Thanks! 😊

    No Bourne films? My favourite.

    Plus I don't see foreign language films. Trollhunter is a good one. Plus The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared. And Pan's Labyrinth.
