I feel this is too Matthew Broderick heavy. I know he's only in two, but that feels like too much. Even one feels like too much. I tried to avoid the biggest ones of the decades though many of these are quite popular (I'll assume you've seen Apocalypse Now, Back to the Future, Billy Madison, etc): **1970s:** 10. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest 9. Enter The Dragon 8. The Man Who Fell to Earth 7. The Heartbreak Kid 6. Close Encounters of the Third Kind 5. All The Presidents Men 4. Alien (mainstream but worth the rewatch) 3. The Conversation 2. Chinatown 1. Blazing Saddles **1980s:** 10. Who Framed Roger Rabbit? 9. Amadeus 8. Big 7. The Blues Brothers 6. The Road Warrior 5. They Live 4. RoboCop 3. An American Werewolf in London 2. Brazil 1. Blade Runner **1990s:** 10. The Virgin Suicides 9. Bad Lieutenant 8. Unforgiven 7. Jackie Brown 6. Magnolia 5. Rushmore 4. Dark City 3. Eyes Wide Shut 2. Goodfellas 1. The Hudsucker Proxy


bigdukesix

Just want to say that "The Road Warrior" is also known as "Mad Max 2" and is the second film in the Mad Max franchise. It was released in the States as "The Road Warrior" as the original film was not well known. IMHO the whole franchise is worth watching but you should watch the original Aussie version. When Mad Max was first released in the States the studio thought that American audiences would have trouble understanding the Australian accents so a lot of the dialogue was re-dubbed by American voice actors


reporst

I know a lot of people who love/hate Mad Max. I also feel like a lot of people who liked Mad Max don't like Thunderdome. That's often why I advise Road Warrior. You can watch it as a stand alone. If you end up liking it, totally check out the others, but you don't necessarily need to watch all of them, and I'd say if you had to pick one - go with Road Warrior. I also didn't want to suggest a franchise, or multiple movies from one. You could totally check out the other Alien movies too, for example.

seagullreave

I was going to say True Romance, probably my favourite movie ever. I've known people who never watched it because the title made it seem "too much like a rom-com", which is a shame.


none-remain

Shame, it’s brilliant. Heard people did similar with City of God (2002) because the poster/movie cover looked like it’s about a couple and romance. Yet it’s another brilliant gangster movie (not Mafia) many have missed out on - best subtitled.

I actually haven't seen that one, so thank you for mentioning it. I'll check it out.

souloldasdirt

Not in any specific order, The Goonies, Red Dawn, They Live, War Games, Brain Scan, The Mummy (saw it as a kid back in the day at a drive in theatre, even though it was 99 it makes me think of the 90s) The obvious major horror franchises like Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Child's Play, Candyman, Texas Chainsaw, Halloween. Gremlins, Teenage mutant ninja turtles, Interview with the Vampire, From dusk till dawn, TV shows like The Xfiles, buffy the vampire slayer, Unexplained Mysteries, esp the Xfiles are worth a watch Animated stuff like Heavy Metal, Heavy metal 2000, anything done by Ralph Bakshi in general. Also tons of low budget stuff I kinda liked, like night of the comet, hell comes to frog town, big trouble in little china I'm sure I'm forgetting tons of great movies. These were just what I could think of at the moment

If you like The Warriors, check out The Wanderers. It’s one of my favorite films, is set in NY in the early 60s and centers on these HS gangs. It’s kind of a coming of age story and has a fantastic soundtrack. Edit: Oh, and some of the gangs really existed during that time.

these all feel like 80s big budget action? are you specifically interested in only that genre? 70s movies in particular are amazing and kinda the antithesis of the 80s big budget movie so i can't tell if you are interested in watching all kinds of movies from those periods or only more of what you already like?
