Rules are easy. You may post One movie that you think every one should see before dying. The game ends when we have reached 100. Please give an IMBD link and why you think the movie should be on the list.
I'll start it off with Fight Club
Edward Norton does a fantastic job in this movie. The acting is amazing the movie has a twist that I never saw coming (and every one I know who has seen it didn't see it coming either) Which now a-days is rare. And the story is so engaging and strange, yet fantastic. The movie is a must see.

-
Lock stock and two smoking barrels is an awesome movie! Now there's 2 people recommending it.
-
I watched Lock, Stock and two smoking barrels last night, I loved it awesome movie.
-
If you like lock stock, then you MUST watch rocknrolla and snatch both films are by Guy Ritchie and both fucking epic, snatch will be harder to find as the last time i watched it, it was on vhs
-
Strange...Ive had Snatch sitting on my harddrive for a month and haven't gotten around to watching it. I'll watch it either tonight or tomorrow. Ive heard good things about rocknrolla I'll look into it.
-
Just watched Rocknrolla, awesome flick.I will get around to snatch one of these days lol. Thanks for the suggestions :)

I felt that Bank Job, fell short and didn't deliver.

Not gonna bother to read first three pages:
If The Royal Tenenbaums was mentioned, that movie is powerful as hell and I still cry every time the Elliott Smith song starts.
If not, THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS.
-
really? I thought that movie was flat and dull, I turned it off about an hour or so into it.
I would also like to mention,
Charlie Wilson's War
The Kingdom

I felt it was more of a comedy and while there were tits, it wouldn't be a keeper for me.

@Jared: Exactly, I thought the same thing. But there's one particular scene that just hits me so hard and puts everything else into place. The beginning is pretty boring though.
-
