Default If you could recommend one movie for someone to watch in their life...

...what would it be?

Singular movie, Fight Club. Else I would say the original Star Wars trilogy.

Voices of a Distant Star, short film anime.

It's the saddest flick I ever saw.

The scientific phenomenon of time dilation plays a huge role in this short film.

The english sync is crap though, but the DVD offers orig. audio + subtitles.

Scarface.

Also, Airport and The Towering Inferno. Both of them;

1. Sported an elite all-star cast.

2. Had some of the biggest stars in show biz!

3. Were about major disasters.

4. Had long running times.

5. Became true classic films.

6. Provide plenty of "edge-of-your-seat" action.

7. Were box office hits.

As it is in Heaven
In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them. And if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us.- Thich Nhat Hanh

Well I can think of several movies. Most are based on British authors but I'm sure if you like Spooky movies, you'd like these...


The Owl Service...


Casting Of The Runes...


Children Of The Stones...


Stig Of The Dump...


Clay...


The Lord of the Flies (both the 1966 version and the 1990 version...


All of these films feature kids in them - not like the Goonies but sort of deliving into psychic, witchie type things if you are into that kind of stuff

Then of course as KevMartin pointed out, is the best of the lot - the complete Peter Jackson film of J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings - but do try and get the others - you'll be glad you did. They are like "The Last Navigator" which I've also got and is a beaut!
