I have a (relatively) massive list of movies I wanna see for the next 2 weeks now that I'm on vacation for like 3 more weeks.
Here's the list:
- Pulp Fiction
- LotR: The Two Towers
- LotR: Return of the King
- Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo
- Cast Away (thank Curi and Conn)
- Forest Gump
Think that's about it.
My real question is, where do I start, do you un-recommend any of these and what else do you think I should watch.
I politely ask Abicion to not post in this topic unless he specifically answers anything I asked in this post and with actually good stuff. Anything abicion-styled everyday post is not welcome.
Thanks in advance =)

I'd watch both Lord of the Rings when you get the time, assuming you've never seen them (which shocks me), otherwise you'll never get round to them.
Cast Away is a must. It's a brilliant movie.
Yeah, I can't really un-recommend/recommend any films. The ones you have on that list are all worth a watch.

yeah I never watched the LotR trilogy =( I finally caved and decided to watch the first one (only one I own) and really enjoyed it, so now I'm rather interested in the other ones.

You should definitely watch them while you have the time. Return of the King is a masterpiece.

It would help if you gave us a (brief) list of what movies you've seen, what kinds of movies you like, etc.

I can't really think of anything exceptional that you probably haven't already seen, but...
The Austin Powers trilogy (you've probably seen this already, and if you haven't, shame on you)
Easy A (I'm actually serious about this one. I saw it in theaters and it was a good laugh)
Eragon (It's not very consistent with the books, but decent as a standalone movie)
I don't watch many movies myself, so I don't have much to recommend. >_o

... did I recommend Cast Away a long time ago or something?
Anyway, some suggestions with no real theme:
- Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog (don't let the name put you off)
- Forgetting Sarah Marshall
- The Godfather, Parts I and II
- Let the Right One In (the Swedish one)
- Reservoir Dogs (another Tarantino film, frequently considered one of his bests)
- Snatch
Also, check out Firefly (it's a TV series, but it's only 14 episodes) and its movie sequel Serenity.

Just watch Pan's Labyrinth, Legend, Die Hard, Broken Arrow, and Gladiator like 20 times each.
You won't regret it.
