If you haven't seen it, Inception. If you see Inception, make sure you're in a space where you can't harm yourself. (You'd probably think you're in a dream.) And I recommend you see it on a big screen, not a small computer screen. It wouldn't have the same effect.

List:

Inception
This is The End
The Purge (A lot of cliches, and isn't that good, though.)
Looper
Gangster Squad
Identity Theft
Django Unchained
Finding Nemo (Yes, I know it seems kinda childish to list anything related to Nemo, but everybody has to be a kid again.)
Resident Evil: Afterlife

Will be updating and adding more.

I dare you to watch RE: Afterlife. It's one of the worst best RE movies, ever. And it makes no sense. You'd probably not be able to stand a few minutes looking at it. If you manage to do it, I'd thankfully reap thank your soul, because you'd be damned happy for life.

It depends how old. The oldest film I've seen is Nosferatu, and the youngest is 'The Purge'. So how old are you thinking?

I guess it doesn't get too much older than this: http://mubi.com/films/nosferatu

But really, I love foreign films from the '50s and '60s. That's not to say that I don't enjoy a modern film, because I really do enjoy modern films. But how many people are watching, say, Ozu films compared with the latest films?

My favorite "old" films are:

Sunset Boulevard
Apocalypse Now
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
This is Spinal Tap
Unforgiven
Pulp Fiction
The Matrix

None of those seem very old though. Yes, they're getting old, but they're not that old. Here's a clip from a slightly older film, but absolutely wonderful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wI6LfigwYA

And here's an entirely different kind of film which is 45 years old, but truly extraordinary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqOOZux5sPE

I have no ideas about Foreign Films, but would you like films like, 'The Raven'? (I believe that is the name of it. It's in black and white, though.) Or, the 'White Zombie'?(Black and White also.)

There's a lot of films called 'The Raven'. As for White Zombie, I believe I found it: http://mubi.com/films/white-zombie

This raises an interesting question. What prompts you to mention a certain film, or seek out a certain film, or set of films? Using different methodologies, one can find, for lack of a better word, very worthwhile films which expand your film experience. Since using different methods that I didn't use before, I have truly rediscovered the joy of cinema. For example, this film is now on my 'want to watch' list.

Oh, sorry about 'The Raven' thing. Using the site you're using - http://mubi.com/cast_members/13408 You'd find it somewhere in Bela Lugosi's movies. (Sorry I couldn't provide the direct link.)

I would say some old Bela Lugosi movies are worth exploring. I'm only familiar with a few of his films, the more obvious ones. Island of Lost Souls is one of those on my list.

Now, would you be interested in discussing the question I posed to you in my above post?

Kinda. I can't provide you with a accurate answer but:

My understanding and knowledge in a film. Mostly it's curiosity, but also based upon my interpretation, and probably if I could put it in words without spoiling it. If I could put it in a way somebody understands, or curious about it.

Hopefully, I answered your question.

My understanding and knowledge in a film. Mostly it's curiosity, but also based upon my interpretation, and probably if I could put it in words without spoiling it. If I could put it in a way somebody understands, or curious about it.

Hopefully, I answered your question.

So, let's say I offered you three films, but you don't know what they are. But I give you the following information:

Film number 1: It won Best Picture from The National Society of Film Critics. It won Best Director at a significant film festival. It won Best Foreign Film. Many critics call it the best film of the year, for the year it was released. It's nearly 3 hours long.

Film number 2: It was recently voted the best film of the 21st century by critics. It's director has a very identifiable style and is known to break a lot of rules with regard to film grammar. It's cinematographer is well known.

Film number 3: A worldwide prestigious film poll places it in the top 20 greatest films ever made. It's director has received high praise from directors around the world. In fact, directors and critics alike nearly worship him, and make pilgrimages to his gravesite. It's at least 50 years older than film number 1 and film number 2.

Now, would you, given your film experience, seek out any of those films, or in fact does one sound more interesting than the other? Or would you discount them all, if you were informed that they are all foreign films? Which one sounds the most intriguing?

It is hard to say. Being a foreign film wouldn't change anything. But, I tried to tell myself Film Number 1 wasn't sparking curiosity, but Film Number 2 sparked more curiosity. Film Number 3 sounds great, but it's basically a 'meh' situation. I wouldn't like Film Number 1's duration, but, hopefully I'd like it. And it would make me too curious not to watch it.

Film Number 3 sounds great, but it's basically a 'meh' situation. I wouldn't like Film Number 1's duration, but, hopefully I'd like it. And it would make me too curious not to watch it.

Confusing! So you can't help but be curious about Film number 1, but 2 sparks your curiosity, and 3 sounds great. Ask yourself why all of these films are essentially loved by people who watch a lot of films. There must be something going on there. And that means that, perhaps despite the reaction you might have to trailers or clips, there's probably something amazing going on within these films that can only be digested after watching them.

Basically, what I'm saying, is, by applying this obvious method, and forgoing your reaction to the trailers, you should watch the films, which can lead you in different directions.

Let's start with the trailer to film number 1. You absolutely cannot predict the way you might be moved emotionally, or how the film might (and will) speak to you, regardless of your personal taste. That's why these films are so highly praised. Here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F6tSorwYqw
