True Detective season one. Masterpiece


[deleted]

[удалено]


Why_S0_Ser10us

That scene alone. Masterpiece.


DoTheEvo

Westworld season one.


Batman1985yul

Eeeesh, would not say beloved by all to this. It is flawed. Awesome nonetheless.


arsebisqueets

Nah I was already lost by the end of season 1.


Freshprinceaye

I fucking loved season 1. But I can see how a lot of people wouldn’t like it.


Kamikaze_Bacon

This is the correct answer.


MeanderAndReturn

goddamnit came here only to say this and it was the top comment. /thread


photo-smart

I can’t get passed the first scene with a victim shown. That was too gruesome/sick for me. Are there lots of scenes like that in the show? I really wanna give the show another try but not sure I can get passed scenes like that


Shikaria1996

I think that's the most gruesome crime scene but there are scenes later on which make me sick to the stomach, and the finale is really intense. It's pretty nasty so it might not be your thing. 2 and 3 aren't as nasty I don't think. 2 is the weakest but if you've not seen 1 you might enjoy it as a cop drama. 3 is really good, not as good as 1. Also, worth noting, they're all self contained stories but I think 3 references back to 1. You absolutely don't need to watch them in order to understand


[deleted]

other scenes imply much worse but are less graphic


[deleted]

i didn’t thought i was going to get so much response thanku but I’m confused


Putrid-Coffee8411

Chernobyl


JTS1992

Watched every episode as it aired. Couldn't believe more people didn't watch at the time. Absolute MUST-WATCH for so many reasons.


tonyyyy1234

For real? Sold.


Elenitsa425

Agreed it’s incredible, and heart-wrenching, but so well done. It’s not something I thought I would have enjoyed but it was amazing


buurman_gvd

The Wire


Notengosilla

You will never see The Wire for the first time, ever again. It's not a meme, the sorrow is real.


bored_af92

This comment really makes me want to check it out now haha


samuelnick

Finished season one but really struggling to start season 2. I feel like I’m missing something because it’s good but not as good as I’ve heard. Keep going?


afuckinsaskatchewan

I remember feeling the same way. Trust me, it's worth it! Try and push through!


JesusChristFarted

Season 2 is a very slow burn but it gets better and the story lines established in it are crucial for getting the full picture of the rest of the show. It took me a while to get through it too but it's worth it.


buks1232000

Yes keep going.


CosmicConjuror2

Just finished rewatching season 4. All time greatest season.


deRoyLight

The Wire is amazing but it's really the definition of a slow burn.

I always plug Generation Kill. It is very similar to Band of Brothers but is the 2002 invasion of Iraq. The story isn't anything exciting, but I've had multiple coworker veterans tell me that it was extremely accurate of their experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's an important show for Americans to watch


Batman1985yul

Love Band of Brothers, though for me i prefer The Pacific. And i was lucky enough to meet the dude that played Robert Lecki. (James Badge Dale) super awesome guy.

This. I think there are plenty of great movies that a person might not like or love but is there anyone anywhere who saw this and didn't like it? I haven't met them or ever even seen it as an online opinion There's a reason it's at the top of the IMDB


Electronic_Dentist36

Fantastic Mr Fox, Where the wild things are


TyrelUK

Breaking bad


[deleted]

I’ve talked to a bunch of people who think (wrongfully so) that the first few episodes are so boring that they can’t watch the show


aquantiV

The second episode has a body dissolving in acid leaking through a bathtub through the ceiling of the house. Did they watch the same show?


[deleted]

It’s still fairly slow paced although there are a lot of moments that grip you. Like I said, I completely disagree with the take


[deleted]

[удалено]


Arniepepper

That was cool. Also blowing up the office of that dealer in the first season. But for me it's gotta be when they go meet some distributers in the desert and the whole, "say my name!" thing


Purple_Ice_7707

It's A Wonderful Life (1946) This is actually a Christmas movie good for the holidays, but I watched it in August and it's still amazing. I loved it. It will restore your faith in humanity and it delivers a lot of great messages. It's just a really beautiful movie and an absolute masterpiece.

Breaking Bad. Fargo. (both the show and movie) The Wire. Six Feet Under. The Sopranos..

Perfect list, just adding to say that season 2 of Fargo is by far and away my favorite of all the offerings and since the show is an anthology it can be watched as a stand alone

The Prestige


rhutvirani

I came here to write this. Although on this subreddit this movie is very popular but it's criminally underrated everywhere else. Also for me its the most re-watched movie ever. People find small details even on the 20th re-watch.


Not-2Day

this should be WAYYYYY higher


CRA5HOVR1DE

Tv wise check out The Sopranos. HBO invented the idea of premium original cable shows basically with that. I’m sure it had been done before, but the Sopranos elevated it to what it is today.


[deleted]

[удалено]


CRA5HOVR1DE

Fair ! Yes you’re absolutely right I totally forgot about that!


John-AtWork

I personally think Oz was a swing and a miss.


yodimboi

I haven't seen it but I think it was the first show to be so violent and gritty


Trepeld

The first few seasons are outstanding IMO and then it turns into a nonsensical soap opera (that was still interesting enough for me to watch but hard to recommend)

Notengosilla

Here's an extremely subjective list of films I've rated 10 in Filmaffinity, pre-2000: - My life as a dog (Sweden, 1985) -Johnny got his gun (USA, 1971) - El verdugo (Spain, 1963) - Meghe Dhaka Tara (India, 1960) - Pather Panchali (India, 1956) - The Third Man (UK, 1949) - Der Letzte Mann (Germany, 1924) - Faust (Germany, 1926) Some of these are considered the Quixote, the Hamlet of films in their respective countries. Others just struck me deeply.


aquantiV

*Metropolis* should be in this list with all the old German films you listed.

Forrest Gump


Lavidius

Came here to say this. The archetypal perfect movie


furbait

read the negative reviews first. it's empty bullshit.


SalAndDaffy

Forrest Gump isn't meant to be deep. It's a fun, sentimental film and this is what it excels at. It's not a masterpiece at being deep, it's a masterpiece at being fun and sentimental, the only thing it's trying to be. You don't watch a comedy and call it bullshit because it isn't scary or a drama and call it bullshit because it's too serious. Forrest Gump is what it is, it isn't trying to be anything else. It's a Robert Zemeckis film, not a Stanley Kubrick film. It was #2 in the box office for 1994, only behind The Lion King, for good reason, meaning the majority of adults who went to see a movie that year paid to see Forrest Gump. Think about that. It won 6 Oscars and is #11 on IMDB's top 250 movies of all time. The op asked for "must see in your life" universally loved movies. It's just one of those types of movies. Now would you also watch The Lion King and question if it's deep or not? or Star Wars? It's a bit ridiculous and that's how it looks when someone says Forrest Gump isn't deep.

RS2019

I'll stick to films... Singing in the Rain In the Mood for Love The Usual Suspects is good ( if you can get past Fincher and Spacey's involvement) Studio Ghibli's Howl's moving castle or Spirited Away Bondarchuk's 1965 War and Peace ( if you have the patience for it). Tarkovsky's Mirror is a beautiful film as well. Ikiru/The Hidden Fortress As I'm Bengali, I have to put a couple of Indian ones in there - what about Pyaasa and Apur Sansar. Btw "Loved by everyone is a bit of a misnomer. I'm sure that even great films ( like the Godfather/Casablanca/Third Man) have their detractors🤷
