As a 26 year old in 2019, I watched Forrest Gump for the first time in my life. I knew all the famous quotes from the movie, but I had never actually watched the movie. It was surprisingly funny and I somehow never knew the ending until I watched it.
Since it was better than I expected, this gave me the idea to do a ‘classic’ movie project. I researched all the must-watch movies and made a list of which movies I need to see. Here is the initial to-watch list:
- Good Will Hunting
- The Princess Bride
- The Terminator
- No Country for Old Men
- Rocky
- Some Like It Hot
- Seven Samurai
- Singin in the Rain
- Ghostbusters
- Star Wars
- Psycho
- Lawrence of Arabia
- Citizen Kane
- 12 Angry Men
- Saving Private Ryan
- Schindler’s List
- The Big Lebowski
- Casablanca
- 2001: A Space Odyssey
- The Godfather
- Jaws
- Shawshank Redemption
- Jurassic Park
- Pulp Fiction
- Rear Window
- Ghost
- Steel Magnolias
- When Harry Met Sally
- The Breakfast Club
- The Shining
- Top Gun
- Die Hard
- Raging Bull
- Do The Right Thing
- Coming to America
- Fight Club
- The Matrix
- Groundhog Day
- Goodfellas
- Titanic
- It Takes Two
- The Way We Were
- You’ve Got Mail
- Heat
- Gladiator
- The Sixth Sense
- Castaway
- Tombstone
After watching two movies on the list, I decided it would be fun to document my reactions as I watch the remaining movies. I will do a separate post as I watch each movie. If you have any classics to add to the list, drop them in the comments!
