I'm not a huge movie fan, but I want to broaden my horizons a bit. I'll offer my list (that I've rewatched so many times I'm a bit tired of them):

  • Young Poisoner's Handbook

  • Full Metal Jacket

  • Life of Brian

  • Holy Grail

  • Sunset Boulevard

  • Curse of the Golden Flower

  • The Nightingale

  • Downfall

  • Amadeus

  • Once Were Warriors

  • Dusk to Dawn

  • Alien, then Aliens, then stop. If you watch Alien 3 then watch Alien: Resurrection, too, to get the taste out of your mouth, but then definitely stop.
  • Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark
  • Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Doom
  • Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
  • Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
  • House of Flying Daggers

If you watch Star Wars, then watch in this order:

  • Episode 4 A New Hope

  • Episode 5 The Empire Strikes Back

  • Episode 2 Attack of the Clones

  • Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith

  • Episode 6 Return of the Jedi

Why no love for The Phantom Menace.

I saw it when it came out and still remember every scene. I completely forgot episodes 2 and 3 to the point that I thought I never actually saw them. So I watched them and realized, oh yeah, I did see them before. And then forgot them again.

Aliens Earth is pretty good so far.

The question was about movies.

Second India Jones sucks and does not belong on any list. Also Star wars only the first 3, maybe rogue one and andor and that's it
