How does North not end up on that list?

83

Because I never heard of that movie.

Check out The Battered Bastards of Baseball on Netflix

I considered making a “mindfuck” movie list and was going to include

Jacob’s Ladder

which would also go well on your list.

Leaving Dear Zachary off this list is like leaving Before movies off a relationship list. Oh wait! :laughing:

My “90 minutes or less” list:

Modern Times
Grave of the Fireflies
High Noon
Before Sunset
Rope
Austin Powers
Brief Encounter

Halloween misses the cut for the unforgivable crime of being 91 minutes long.

Oh shit my Googling lied to me.

93

What kind of sick fuck puts grave of the fireflies on list which could lead to others having to watch this movie. :squinting_face_with_tongue:

I think I saw this 15 years ago and have not yet recovered. It’s the absolute top of the “one watch” list.

94

Don’t worry; I won’t recommend (or ever watch) Cannibal Holocaust or anything.

But people should watch Grave of the Fireflies at least once.

It’s a great movie but so insanely brutal.

96

For sure it is. But it feels very well-earned instead of just cheaply manipulating the audience or something like that, which obviously a worse execution could do to some extent with the same idea.

Yep. I cry in basically every movie. this is one of the few that made me openly sob.

98
  • Unforgiven (2013)
  • Hara Kiri (2011)
  • True Grit (2010)
  • The Magnificent Seven (2016)
  • 3:10 to Yuma (2007)
  • High Noon (2000)
  • Cimarron (1960)

Ok I’m cheating because I didn’t see the last two (and don’t plan on it). Django and Tombstone were pretty close to making the list but slightly different titles from their mirrors.

99
  • The Force Awaken
  • Diamonds are Forever
  • American Pie: The Book of Love
  • Texas Chainsaw 3D
  • Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One
  • Alien: Romulus
  • Furious 7

Guess the connection

I would guess “franchises that went on too long,” but Dead Reckoning was great.
