Casmoney Et al.....
All i can say is wow some of the films you've missed are truely classics....
I'd say must see has to be the following..
The good the bad and ulgy.....(this is a classic western, funny, exciting and damn good)
Jaws 1 (classic story telling, well made and dramatic.) a must see, forget the rest they are crap!!
Misery..for the one scene with the sledge hammer, if you're eye don't water then you aint alive...
Alien & Aliens/...are two of THE classic Sci fi/Horror movie i must see and must own without doubt...
Godfather 1 & 2....long very long but bloody good ..
Roots..well I'm amazed you aint seen this yet....the picture quality might not stand up to the test of time..but the story of Kinte kunte, Chicken George & Kizzy well if you don't feel anything then you're dead...trust me..
New Jack city yet another classic of 80's Black American culture, the prequel if you like to whats happening today..a very good morality tale.. a bit cheezy in parts but good..
Colour Purple..first half good...the last third utter bollox, someone in hollywood ruined what should have been a masterpiece of post slavery America....but the ****ed up the last reel with too much cheeziness!!!
The maltese Falcon..i've seen so many times never get tired of it..Classic B/w movie just brilliant...a must see!!! Like wise Unforgiven..a slow burn movie the builds up, but when it goes wow....Clint Eastwood at his very best!!!!
The others ion Cash's list i've seen but don't rate as must seen movies...\
As for Evil dead..my advice don't waste your money renting this total piece of crap, the shining is overrated arthouse bollox....
Scarface...well what can say except, the accent by al pacino is piss poor, akin to dick van dike doing a cockney accent in bedknobs and broom sticks...'unbelievable'... but as a piece of light rubbish is pure genius with some classic one liners....
The first Blues brother is yet another must see..not a classic movie in my view but bloody funny....with some wicked music and all star black singing cameos..its a whoes who of black singers ...a must for that alone!!!!
African heart, African mind
