Essentials

Hello Sup Forums, I've always played video games and never really watched movies. Now that I'm older I realize video games are a shit tier manchild hobby.

I would like your opinions on essential movies that everyone should watch. I've never seen anything except for mainstream superhero movies in the past 10 years. Which means I've never seen Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, etc. The last movie I saw was Reservoir Dog.

Last Year At Marienbad

Let me save you a lot of time... movies are shit too.

>I realize video games are a shit tier manchild hobby.
That's because you played shit tier games

>he engages in one exclusively
Playing vidya, watching a flick and posting on Sup Forums simultaneously is the ultimate form of entertainment.

here are the top 8 movies ever made

Donnie Darko
Scarface
The Shining
Reservior Dogs
Pulp Fiction
Kill Bill 1/2
The Room
Falling Down

you need to watch fight club, it's ok if you don't understand it, that's part of the experience.

>manchild hobby.

>Now that I'm older I realize video games are a shit tier manchild hobby.

lmao neckbeard manchildren BTFO

But srsly OP start with whatever interests you. Like the look of space, go watch Star Wars. Want to go on adventures, watch Indiana Jones.

Also don't take anyone's opinion here serious.

Super Mario Bros
Assassin's Creed
Max Payne
Hitman
Doom
Alone in the Dark
Postal

>Tarantino is garbage
>lists Nolan movies
>Lost Highway instead of one of Lynch's better movies

>Lost Highway instead of one of Lynch's better movies
But Lost Highway is one of his better movies, retard

Start with classics/modern classics that are also considered accessible.
Check out the films by kubrick, spielberg,
lynch, paul thomas anderson, hitchcock, fincher, the coen brothers, Tarantino, etc. Basically entry level directors that also happen to make mostly good films. Definitely recommend you check out lotr as well

>tarantino movies are garbage
kek

Just start watching the imdb top 250. around 150 of the movies there are entry-level classics that will give you a nice foundation and you'll see what you live and explore further.

what are you doing

>gets called a manchild
>acts as a manchild

>Tarantino movies are fucking garbage
>first movie on list is literally One Hour Photo

Serious question OP, what made you stop playing vidya? I've honestly been playing less and less over the years myself.

I guess just because I've grown out of it. Since I was a kid it was pretty much my only escape (didn't have many friends), but now that I have matured and made relationships, including a wife and kids, I can't find a reason to play.

This and when everyone around me talks about movies I always spill spaghetti because I'm uneducated in film.

What kind of films your friends like?

>he has a wife and kids
>still browses Sup Forums

Are we really here forever?

Skip popular movies, they're absolutely unentertaining, go for the B-films instead. They're immensely entertaining in their own schlocky a e s t h e t i c.

Start with Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow, then the Roger Corman and Hammer Horror collections, then kaiju films, then low-budget horror. That's good shit right there: all the thrills and chills of cinema, but without the pretentious drivel Hollywood throws in to try to nab Oscars and Academy Awards.

Movies are a manchild hobby too. Read a book.

just watch whatever you want mate, how hard it could be?
you already missed the window to watch the same list every male needs to watch(fight club, pulp fiction, trainspotting) so just search for stuff you find interesting.You can go to imdb top 100 and pick 10 movies, and then branch out.

>Now that I'm older I realize video games are a shit tier manchild hobby.
"Now that I'm older I've started repeating epic Sup Forums memes." So you're, what, 14 years old?

>grown out of it
I think it's probably more that most of the big games released these days are trash. It's similar with movies but lower budget movies are generally better than lower budget/indie games. Partially I think because movies are easier to make than games. I actually don't play video games much recently because of this too.

Reading books is a manchild hobby too. Compose music.

Holy shit your taste is bad. And you are trying way too hard on that list.
You must be one weirdo to love some of those movies you listed.

They mostly talk about stuff like I said, Star Wars, LOTR, maybe Game of Thrones, and other stuff thrown in.

Yeah, games these days are too long. I remember back on PS1 when I would get so excited to explore in Tomb Raider. But now games are just tiring.

>I guess just because I've grown out of it.
You can lose interest in video games. You can't grow out of them.

How many movies would you want to watch? Give me a scale.

Composing music is for autists. Paint.

OP is underage
16 max

Painting is for autists. Pick your nose.

>ctrl+F
>Sergio Leone
>0/0
It's like you don't even watch movies

>The People vs. Larry Flynt

That one doesn't fit the list at all, I enjoyed it for all the nudity and slutty Courtney Love but it was pretty horrible.

that's it guys. i managed to ignore the battlestations threads. enough. i'm leaving this board.

1. Find an actor you like
2. Watch all their movies
3. Find another actor you like in the movies you watch
4. Repeat steps 2-3

I enjoyed it but I get where you're coming from. Now that I look at it, it's definitely a weak movie compared to the others listed.

...

...

Are you a bad enough dude to watch pic related?

Dragonball Evolution
The Last Airbender
Jack and Jill
TDKR for the memes
Star Wars Episodes 1-3 (the rest just try to capitalize off the success of the first 3)

Did I miss anything?

...

You mean toy story 2 rehashed?

The Emoji Movie

Does no one have this saved any more?

>consuming that entertainment is shit tier!
>consuming this entertainment is god tier!
You're a manchild either way. Go out and create something, or at least get a real job.

If you want to watch movies to fit with your friends then you better go to reddit because your friends have shit taste.

I'm not saying this to be a jerk but for your own good. Kino is for autistics. You don't want to become like us.

>Now that I'm older I realize video games are a shit tier manchild hobby.
Said no one, ever.

Kys, faggot.

not him but popular =/= reddit

you seem like a buttblasted faggot that doesn't like it when people watch things you don't like

This is a solid list with a good balance between good yet universally liked films and some more challenging stuff. Donnie Darko doesn't belong there, though. OP is married, not a fucking teenager.

Who the hell keeps updating it and removing and adding shit?

>First comes video games
>Next step movies and television
>Then novels and books
>Last step and the enlightenment is creating your own art and keep perfecting your craft for the rest of your days

...

But I like music though

here you pleb

ASAP

...

Music for me is just a background noise, I don't really have a passion for it.
If you like music so much that you want to make it yourself, then go for it. Slowly and surely tinkering and crafting is the true path to wisdom.

You missed goodfellas

Not even the best mob movie

>Freddy Got Fingered among those

delet this

Some fun weirdo stuff:

>Forbidden Zone (1980)
>Pink Flamingos (1972)
>Zardoz (1974)
>Allegro non troppo (1976)
>Grey Gardens (1975) (docu)
>Crumb (1994) (docu)

>being a spectator and viewing something is grown-up and non-manchild
