goodfellas
braveheart--many years ago, when i was active duty air force, one of my roommates had this on vhs, and LOVED it. i mean...LOVED it. one day after he got home from work, he asked if i'd ever seen it and i said no, and he was shocked. he's like, "i've got it on vhs. let's watch it now. it's so good." he popped in the tape, and i am not making this up. from the very beginning of the movie, he was reciting lines along with the cast. i stopped him after roughly five minutes, and said, "hey man, i don't want to watch this if you're going to repeat every line." i turned off the vcr and went to my room. i've never tried watching it since.
heat
casino
tombstone
*insert random marvel movie here* (i have seen a few recently with my kids tho.)
i'll list more as i think of them.
name a movie. i've likely not seen it.

You could probably watch those in about a week if you tried.

I'd skip Braveheart. It's funny, I just read a book that talked quite a bit about how popular that movie was in the military in the '90s.
I haven't seen any of the others besides Goodfellas.

Goodfellas, Heat and Casino are a must for anyone who barely cares about not only art, but the human condition at all.

And Tombstone is a fantastic western, one of the best ever made.

Braveheart is one of those movies that has been ripped off so many times that it's kinda hard to watch now.
Tombstone is a mess, but the performances are great.
You should watch Heat dude. Stop being dumb. Watch heat.

are any of these must-watch films going to change my life?
will they make me feel better about my plight?
will they make me feel inferior to the characters?
will they make me think?

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
