Maybe it would be cool for people to post 20 movies in their opinion should be seen before they die. Doesn't necessarily have to be top 20, or even in order, just list out 20 movies that you think are amazing and should be seen by everyone on this board at some point in their life.

Just hope that nobody picks "Billy Madison".

Or "White Chicks".

Even a list of 10 would be very interesting.

OK, here is my list (subject to change of course).

I framed it in the sense of someone asking you "I dont know anything about movies, but really want to. What should I watch?"

North by Northwest - The Master of Suspense
Rashomon - The Japanese Master
The Godfather - The "Family"
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - The Spaghetti Western
Star Wars - The Space Opera
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb - The Tilted Genius
Citizen Kane - The Icon
Snow White - The Animator
Gone With The Wind - The Period Piece
The Usual Suspects - The Thriller
