What Movie Should Freitag Watch This Weekend?

Posted on: 2011-12-07 18:48 in Comic and Hero-Villain Culture
I currently only have one as I'm a little busy... hopefully it's early enough in the timeline (1994) for you to consider, because I am of the humble opinion that everyone should see it.
Pulp Fiction?
@Draeth Darkstar
Virtue [Heroes, Roleplay], Freedom [Villains], Exalted [All Sides, Roleplay]
Code:
I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30)) Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.
Raw Head Rex? (It's supposed to be horror, but well...)
Almost forgot this classic :-
Brain Dead
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103873/
Airplane!
Robin Hood Men in Tights
The Incredibles (a bit out of timeframe, but imperitive viewing for working in this genre of game I think)
Mystery Men
Evil Dead 2 was suggested but I didn't see Evil Dead. If you're going to watch any movie in the series, you really should start with the first one.

Either you just don't watch many movies or you have really poor taste in them. 
Here's some I think aren't posted yet:
Sneakers (possibly the only reasonably accurate mainstream Hollywood depiction of what penetration testers actually do)
Batman (the Tim Burton original: seriously, how is this not up here already?)
Terminator 2 (in my opinion, one of the best action movies ever)
Clash of the Titans (the Harry Hamlin 1981 version)
Cobra ("Go ahead: I don't shop here")
Xanadu (oh, come on: no one should be allowed to escape the 80s without seeing it at least once)
A Few Good Men ("you can't handle this movie!")
Predator ("I ain't got time to bleed")
The Quick and the Dead (just to see Leo and Crowe before they became big)
The Silence of the Lambs (seriously, does any comic book fan *not* think of Bullseye's escape from prison during Miller's run at the end of this movie?)
Schindler's List (must see, period)
And since someone mentioned shorts, I guess I'll toss up the Spirit of Christmas, which I remember spending three days downloading the 50meg quicktime version of back when it was originally circulating around.
405 is, though, still the best internet short film ever made.

In one little corner of the universe, there's nothing more irritating than a misfile...
(Please support the best webcomic about a cosmic universal realignment by impaired angelic interference resulting in identity crisis angst. Or I release the pigmy water thieves.)
Repo Man
Brazil
Akira
This is Spinal Tap
Here's one that usually gets overlooked in thrads like this:
Zero Effect
Starring Bill Pullman and Ben Stiller. It's a good couple of steps on the quirky side. Pullman plays a private detective named Daryll Zero. It's not big on action or bombast. It's a little subtle, a little cute but it's also got a lot of heart.
Evil is a maze of deceit and the cheese it hides is never worth the running.
Glad to see you've some some great ones! 
I highly suggest you watch this as a test and somewhat of an introductory movie for horror movies. After watching this, you may enjoy them (if you haven't seen it yet):
Dead Alive
Also...

Hey :-P! Well, okay, I guess I don't watch that many movies compared to you guys, but think about what a lack of television would have done to your movie-watching experiences over a lifetime! I think I have pretty good taste in movies, but every now and then I watch some bad movies just for the sheer enjoyment factor.|

Doesn't ring a bell either. I remember spending 3 days downloading a game demo on dial-up when I was younger. Afterwards, I told my parents about it, and they were all "Gosh, it was nice not getting phone calls for a few days! 405 is, though, still the best internet short film ever made. Haven't heard of this either. |

Lots of good stuff has been mentioned, heres some that I haven't spotted
Monster Squad: Late 80s cross beeen The Goonies and Ghostbusters. A truly awesome film. Teaches you all the ways to kill a werewolf.
Mannequin 1 & 2: Man has inappropriate relations with a shop mannequin whilst 80s music plays.
No Retreat, No Surrender 1 & 2: First is a karate Kid rip off (with the ghost of Bruce Lee replacing Mr Miyagi). 2nd has nothing to do with the first, but is just an awesome kungfu action flick.
Best of The Best: Darth Vader assembles a team of villainous Americans to take on the heroic Team Korea in a martial arts contest!
Police Academy (all of them): 4 and 7 are truly terrible abominations, but you've got to watch the whole set!
On the cheesy fantasy front:
Yor: hunter from the future
Beastmaster
Deathstalker
And if you just want a good film, hold the cheese:
Citizen X: HBO film about the hunt for the Soviet Unions first official serial killer.
EDIT:
Oh and I completely forgot the reason for my posting:
Weekend at Bernies 1 & 2!
Always remember, we were Heroes.

Freitag - as your friend, let me warn you:
Most of the movies posted here are, well, very <individual> tastes. I would suggest these three as starters:
Back to the Future: Childish, but a work of near comic genius by the ensemble.
Princess Bride: Best film exposition of the classic story form ever. Funny and touching.
Big Trouble in Little China: A classic depiction of the ugly American anti-hero.
And given your tastes - never, ever watch Hellraiser. Ever.
