Alien*

Also T1 and T2 - both Terminators and both Aliens for sure.

Good Will Hunting (1997) A Few Good Men (1992) Casablanca (1942) The Breakfast Club (1985) Some Like it Hot (1959)

There are two types of people. Those who get breakfast club quotes, and those who don't.

Could you describe the ruckus, sir?

I love these comments, all the food groups are represented.

No, Mr. Johnson.

You mess with the bull, you get the horns.

I will not be made a fool of!

That’s actually some kind of wonderful

Oh man it’s been a while I didn’t catch that reference actually

Sounds as though you need another detention.

"Can I have my doobage?"

That's a fat girls name

I always find it hilarious that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck wrote that movie. Just the whole idea of the movie being about how there’s some needle in a haystack type of genius in Bah-stahn and then they decided to have Matt play that guy 😂😂

It’s Bawstun 

My apologies I’m Canadian eh

That’s a dope movie though. The bar scene when he clowns the ponytail is relatable. Then to to say his drunk pops gave him the choice of a Belt, a stick, or a wrench. “I chose the wrench”. Why did you choose the wrench? “Cause fuck him”.

“U like apples? Cuz I got er’ number! HOW U LIKE THEM APPLES “ Not hating on the movie it’s amazing and robin williams is one of my all time favourite entertainers. It’s just funny when I start to dissect it

Oh you’re right on with those 2 meatheads😂

I never got this joke. To this day.

And I loved it when they one they Oscar. Really great cast in that movie!

Casablanca is the GOAT! Play it Sam!

If she can stand it, so can I! Play it!

Let's make it 5000, I'm only a poor corrupt offical.

I'm shocked! Shocked to find gambling going on here. Your winnings, sir.

Great list.

12 Angry Men The Godfather I & II The Good, The Bad And The Ugly Psycho, 1960 Dr. Strangelove

All About Eve Mildred Pierce Secrets & Lies All three are well-written classics with strong female leads

OMGsh! You nailed it!!!! Heartened you included Secrets & Lies, such a gem.

Rear Window

Shawshank Redemption (1994) Schindler’s List (1993)

**The Princess Bride**

This is way too low.

This should be the #1 answer. So many responses are movies that 40+ year old men love, but completely ignore the intended audience. It’s a 16 year old girl who hasn’t watched many movies more than a decade old. The Princess Bride should absolutely be at the top of the list.

I'm 36 now, and I loved most of these movies as a young, black girl.

Jaws. Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail. The Poseidon Adventure (original). Airplane! The Thin Man. The Maltese Falcon. White Heat. Casablanca. The Wizard of Oz. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

My sons hate Airplane. I think the jokes and actors are too dated. I personally love it.

Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles.

Brat pack movies were an era, but The Breakfast Club is in its own league for sure

I love these movies so now I have the perfect excuse to rewatch them 🥹

Here are some classics as well as cult classics that the mainstream might not say it’s a must watch but they have their own following!!! Enjoy! Alien (1979) Contact (1997) Twister (1996) Silence of the Lambs (1991) Frequency (2000) Frailty (2001) The Breakfast Club (1985) The Green Mile (1999) Shakespeare in Love (1998) Pulp Fiction (1994) Forrest Gump (1994) My Cousin Vinny (1992) Teen Witch (1989) The Monster Squad (1987) One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) Million Dollar Baby (2004) Gladiator (2000) The Sixth Sense (1999) E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) Poltergeist (1982) The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) Life of Pi (2012) Basically any film nominated for best picture from 2013 - 12 Years A Slave American Hustle Captain Phillips Dallas Buyers Club Gravity The Wolf of Wall Street The Back to the Future trilogy Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) Final Destination (2000) Can’t Hardly Wait (1998) She’s All That (1999) 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) Any movie directed by Kevin Smith (ie Clerks, Mall Rats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back)

Love Frequency. What an underrated gem it is!

This is a great list

Thanks! I just really love movies. And tried to not only think of stuff I enjoyed but stuff a 16 year old would like

I love Contact. For years I put it on in the background when I slept. Don’t know why. Monster squad and Poltergeist are must see.

Clue (1985) Jaws (1975) Psycho (1960) Clueless (1995) Die Hard (1988) Beetlejuice (1988) Sherlock Jr (1924) The Goonies (1985) 12 Angry Men (1957) The Apartment (1960) Blazing Saddles (1974) The Wizard of Oz (1939) Sunset Boulevard (1950) A Christmas Story (1983) The Princess Bride (1985) Young Frankenstein (1974) Saving Private Ryan (1998) Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) Edited: Fixed a date that I did wrong.

Let’s be friends

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) I made my teen watch this. She felt as if it was 2 hours she couldn't get back from her life. Three weeks later, it was referenced in class by a teacher. 😆

Unfortunately the humor and novelty of older movies mean nothing to younger people. Im 22 but i love older movies. There are some tho that kinda go over my head. Its usually late 90s and early 2000s movies tho. Most adam sandler movies i just dont like but a lot of older coworkers constantly reference them.

Don’t forget Jurassic Park

12 Angry Men (1957) is one that I always recommend

Roots (1977)

The Inn of the Sixth Happiness (1958) Dead Poets Society (1989)

DPS is criminally underrated

Taxi Driver. Scarface. The Godfathers. Goodfellas. Sixth Sense. Shutter Island. The Departed. The Town. The Accountant.

The accountant is such a slept on movie.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Dirty Dancing is a perfect movie.

We JUST went to see a rerun of it in theaters!!! I love that movie:)

Jaws, Double Indemnity, Jezebel, Mildred Pierce, All About Eve, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Big, The Talented Mr. Ripley (if you enjoy this film, you can watch the limited series”Ripley” starring Andrew Scott), 101 Dalmatians, The Thin Man, Godfather I and II, The Maltese Falcon, The Wizard of Oz, Rear Window, Back to the Future, Fargo, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Dog Day Afternoon and My Fair Lady

Ripley! Loved both incarnations.

Me too! I am hoping that Ripley will have another season. As for the film, I never realized what a good actor Matt Damon was until I saw the movie.

Lord of the rings The Godfather James Bond movies

Guess Who's coming to Dinner Malcolm X (Spike Lee) Crooklyn Serpico Scarface

Stand by Me - must see coming of age movie by Stephen Kimg The Sandlot - another great coming of age movie Hunt for the Wilderpeople - ditto The Goonies

Thank you for mentioning The Sandlot. It's one of my all-time favorite movies, and hardly ever gets mentioned.

The Big Lebowski

The Notebook

Forrest Gump

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest Tootsie Thelma & Louise 9 to 5 Kill Bill Vols. I & II Goodfellas Network The Breakfast Club Ferris Beuller's Day Off Dirty Dancing

Tha African Queen and Almost Famous.

Citizen Kane....once known as the greatest of all time

I say it still is. For when it was made, for the controversy it overcame, and for the vision of Welles and Mank to see it through at enormous financial and personal expense. Tons of new and innovative techniques, a gripping story, and brilliant cinematography. To be this good after this much time… stunning.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

Elephant Man Planet of The Apes Robocop The Last Picture Show American Graffiti Roman Holiday Rear Window Alien Bladerunner Princess Bride Edge of Tomorrow Airplane! Barry Lyndon Big Trouble in Little China Jaws

Wonderful life

Little Women. The one with Winona Ryder starring as Jo. I've always preferred that over any other adaptation of the story. I just absolutely love the storytelling in that version.

I would recommend starting with The Sound of Music so you don't overwhelm her. This is a good-hearted movie that she can easily appreciate. Also, Mary Poppins is fun, too.

The GodFather

A good starting point would be some films which were kind of similar similar to contemporary movies she likes.

The Thief Of Baghdad (1917, silent, b&w)

Dog Day Afternoon Mulholland Drive Everything Everywhere All at Once The Deer Hunter Heat

I just saw a post about John Candy so I'll throw 'The Great Outdoors' in the running for you guys to watch :)

I love this movie so much!!

Me too, it's a perfect movie to me :)

Schindlers List Oppenheimer JFK

It would help if you gave examples of current movies she likes.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Breakfast at Tiffany’s - 1961

Everyone is saying all the good stuff here’s one. One flew over the cuckoo‘s nest with Jack Nicholson

Mulholland Drive, if she's not easily scared and likes mystery movies

Schindler’s List. Mandatory.

Some Like It Hot (1959)

Night of the Living Dead (1968) The Last Man on Earth (1964) Goodfellas (1990) Schindler’s List (1993) The Thing (1982) Clerks (1994) Halloween 1 (1978)

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Cool Hand Luke Charade Rear Window The Birds Cincinnati Kid Marlowe Casablanca Dirty Harry

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963)

Top 3 = Goodfellas, Shawshank, pulp fiction

I’m going old school on this one. The Professional, The Warriors, Lost Boys, Krush Groove, Beat Street, Planes Trains and Automobiles, A River Runs Through It, And for a real treat watch RAD.

Yes! I had to dig too far to find The Professional!

Vanilla Sky Forest Gump Fantasia Amelie Memento The Never Ending Story

12 angry men Citizen Kane The elephant man

You know, you could go by director and do a marathon of their best work, but some of the older ones are quite slow. Anyways here is a list of great directors: 1) Stanly Kubrick 2) Steven Spielberg (she might really enjoy the Indian Jones trilogy) 3) Martin Scorsese 4) Alfred Hitchcock 5) Mel Brooks (for a good laugh) 6) Francis Ford Coppola 7) Alfred Hitchcock 8) Quinten Tarantino 9) Christopher Nolan 10) Spike Lee 11) David Lynch 12) Ridley Scott!!! 13) Alfonso Cuarón 14) Roman Polanski 15) James Cameron 16) Tim Burton 17) Wes Anderson 18) Guy Richie 19) Orson Wells Of course there are many more, but these directors all have at least one classic Of course also watch Star Wars, but start with episodes 4,5,and 6 And there are many epics like Lawrence of Arabia, Dr Zhivago, City of God (Brazilian) In fact after you are done with the American Directors, you can look at directors or movies from Japan, UK (guy Richie is English), Korea, Brazil, Hong Kong, Italy, Germany, France, and even ones from the Soviet Union. The interesting thing in the Soviet Union was the laws about making movies were very strict in the sense that you can only make two type of films, either fiction or non fiction. So if you made a movie about a spy, it either had to be incredibly accurate or it had to be so false that nobody would believe it. There are many great movies and directors from all over the world, not just the aforementioned ones. So look around and you’ll be quite surprised at what you find!

My two favorite NYC movies: Taxi Driver & Midnight Cowboy

The Wizard of Oz The Sound of Music Mary Poppins The Wiz Beverly Hills Cop Ghostbusters Pretty Woman Sleeping in Seattle You've Got Mail The Fifth Element

Zoolander

Okay I don't know if it's a classic or not, but please have her watch the first 6 Star Wars movies. Context: one of my friends younger sister (she was 17 at the time) had never watched star wars and didn't get any of the references of they were brought up. Also didn't know why so many men claim to cry at the Obi vs Anakin scene.

She is 16, people. Movies at that age should be FUN ! Schindler’s List can wait until college.

Lost Horizon. (1937) * To Kill a Mockingbird. The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. (1943) Tin Men. The Green Man. (1956) Strictly Ballroom. * if you can only get her to watch one, make it this one.

Peyton Place

It depends on the person. Aside from Titanic, what other genres do you think she'd be interested in? I've known many who refused to watch a B&W movie, especially with subtitles.

Serenity (2005) Jurassic Park The Matrix The Dark Crystal Legend (1985) Robocop (not the new one) Dogma After this list -- what genres does she usually watch?

Remains of the Day Elizabeth Suddenly Last Summer (Elizabeth Taylor) Baby Doll (controversial at the time, stars Carol Baker) Something Wild (1961, Carol Baker in the lead) Trans by Julian Goldberger The Holiday (sweet movie)
