Movie Recommendations?

Over the last few weeks, my partner and I have been making our way through the Twilight Films (her choice, not mine).

And rather be a grumpy, snarky boyfriend slogging his way through the vampire-werewolf romance, I actually engaged with the movies and being able to understand the various (and now ancient) memes we send to one another has been really good for our relationship!

We're on Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 1 now so the end is in sight but that also means that I get to pick the next four movies after Part 2.
I've already picked 2:

Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope
Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

But I do need some help with the other two. I was thinking Back to The Future (my favourite film) or Scarface but I think I may want to pick some films that I've not seen at all like Perfect Blue or Blade Runner.

Please let me know your recommendations in the comments below

Great films:

Whiplash

Amy

Pleasantville

Groundhog Day

Causeway

Close Encounters of the third kind

Any of those will rock the socks of just about anyone watching.

Whiplash is a shout. I’ve been meaning to watch that for a long time

Pleasantville is such a weird film but I love it 😄I thought it was a Spider-Man pre-union but it was Reece Witherspoon (not Kirsten Dunst) opposite Tobey Maguire!

Blade Runner is an absolute must! And if I can suggest which version to go for, it has to be the Director's Cut. I saw that one first, then on telly either the original or the final cut, not sure which one it was, and I was screaming at the missing scene and different ending. So Director's Cut is the way to go.

Blade Runner is such an atmospheric film but the story is a little boring...it's still one of my favourites though! 😅

I love it for the things it doesn't say, but I can't wait to see what they do in the new mini series.

It is definitely a slow one, but that's what I like about it. I like books and movies which make you think and have unsaid things. Which version did you watch though? That one scene is the director's cut makes a huge difference. I don't think I would like it this much if I saw the original cut first.

I highly recommend Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes.
