The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly and Apocalypse Now would be my choices

Also itā€™s on Max, and hard to sell the wife and kids on a 3 hour western even if it is an absolute must see

I donā€™t think Big Lebowski, Apocalypse Now, or Alien are streaming. And while Iā€™ll drop $$$$ in an instant on running shoes I donā€™t need, I refuse to pay $5 to rent something when I have all these dumb subscriptions.

Oh snap, Alien is on Disney. I think that might be the winner. I think itā€™s that, Once Upon a Time in America, or Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

Alien is an elite movie too. Chuckā€™s consideration re: GBU is true and Iā€™d still go with that, but you definitely wouldnā€™t be making a bad call with Alien.

Definitely go with Alien and then Aliens. An elite double feature. Iā€™m jealous of you getting to see them for the first time.

Absolutely Hot Fuzz is my pick

Never seen this either.

Do I have to/should I watch the other two Dollars movies first?

3405

Nope they are completely separate from each other.

3407

This, WTF go watch these movies ASAP.

What Chuck said. You can watch it straight away with no loss of anything.

I never wanted to watch westerns. Saw GBU this year, its fantastic. One of my favorite movies of all time. See it asap

I recommend High Noon if you havenā€™t seen it.

Not that itā€™s anything like GBU or anything.

I think there are two other films that are higher on his priority list at the moment.

At this point, I think we have a They Live situation where he would sooner have a fistfight with me than just put the damn sunglasses on that Iā€™m offering him. Iā€™m relatively sure my friendly nudges to watch The Godfather have reached the point of diminishing returns.

Try Infernal Affairs instead. I assume youā€™re going to need the subtitles, but itā€™s a banger.

Think it is time to make either Alien or GBU next on Unstuck rewatchables. Not sure if I am clever enough to nail down the topics, but has been a while since I have done a full rewatch of either. Both are bonafide classics.

Shane is up there too as one of the best

Alien was very good. Visual effects were sometimes a little rough, and I wonder if Iā€™m going to like Aliens a lot more. Similar to how I like Terminator 2 much more than the original.

Iā€™m pretty sure that the majority view is:
T2 > T1
Alien > Aliens

I wouldnā€™t count on preferring the sequel in this case. Still great though.
