Required Viewing for the Youth of America

[VolnJC]

Just learned in the FF that several of our younger posters had never even heard of Animal House...I thought it was our duty, as older culturally educated posters, to make a list of movies that they must see.

I'll start:
Anything written or directed by John Hughes(Curly Sue is optional) and Mel Brooks

 

[FLVOL_79]

Ive dated a few girls who hadnt seen Star Wars, Dumb and Dumber, Platoon, etc. The worst was when one said she hadnt even heard of Robocop.

Vacation movies. Even European.

Die Hard series

Back to the Future series

 

[BadJerry20]

Ghostbusters
The Goonies
Ace Ventura
Airplane
Trading Places
Clockwork Orange
Gremlins
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Big Trouble in Little China
Stripes
Clerks
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
The Machinist
Trainspotting
Hellraiser
Waiting
Office Space
Dead Alive
Evil Dead
American Psycho
Lars and the Real Girl

Guessing most kids don't watch anything made more than 10 years ago, so I stayed at least that old. And went for variety as well.
