There are a lot of famous and/or beloved movies that for some reason or other I have never seen. In a moment of frustration after yet another 80s action movie reference went over my head here in the studio, I set about making a list of movies I want to watch to fill in some of my pop culture blind spots. Here's the list! I'll continue to add to it as I remember movies from "why the hell haven't you seen that movie" rants. Feel free to make suggestions as well. :)
Goodfellas
The Goonies
Godfather (1 and 2)
Scarface (Youtube it)
Donnie Brasco
Steel Magnolias
Jason and the Argonauts
Bladerunner
Alien, Aliens
Die Hard (though I'm told I have to wait until Christmas to watch it)
Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock, and The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
The Shining (Youtube it)
Spinal Tap
A Mighty Wind

Things suggested to me that I actually have seen already:
The Indiana Jones, Jaws, Predator, AVP, Tremors, and Terminator movies
16 Candles
Breakfast Club
The Usual Suspects
A League of Their Own
Back to the Future

The Goonies?! Really? And you can watch Die Hard anytime you want... it's always awesome. There's some solid movies on there. Good luck.
I'd add the following if you haven't seen them:
Death Becomes Her
Sixteen Candles
Can't Buy Me Love
and
The Breakfast Club
I'd love to have or host an 80's movie night with you sometime. I'd be up for any of those-or Goonies or Bill and Ted's.
hey Tally! If you're up for cheesy thriller/sci-fi I would check out the first "Tremors" with Kevin Bacon.
Also fun watches:
-The Wizard
-Clerks 1 and 2
-A League of Their Own
-Dark City
-Surf Ninjas
aaaand, maybe more if things come to mind! :)
Seconding Bill and Ted (so much love!) and Tremors. Love both of those! And you know we're having a Sherlock day because it is my favorite tv show of all time and it needs to be as widely spread as possible. :D
So Colin and I think you and Molly should join us for any of the following:
Bill and Ted's
Death Becomes Her
Goonies

AND
Have you seen BACK TO THE FUTURE!
If not, add that right away!
Oh! I'm down with Terry's idea! Let's do it!!
The Blues Brothers. Talk about required viewing: they're on a mission from God. To put the band back together. Also, shit blows up far more often than in most musicals.
