Cash some of those you absolutely HAVE to see. Others I'd advise you STRONGLY to miss. The ones I don't mention are debatables lol.

Good, Bad and Ugly is in my top 5 movies of all time. Serious tings! Very long but VERY enjoyable.

New Jack City is okay and good and original in it's time but it's nothing you haven't seen already. Some classic lines (no gun factories in harlem, nobody here owns a poppy field etc)

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ALIENS!!! woah. Well tbh just watch the first two and stuff the others. The first two are genius and brilliant, the others dire. Three is okay in it's own way but the next ones are so stupid and cheesy it upset me.

Skip Terminator 3, it makes no sense timeline wise and there was no need for it. Crap! Almost as poor as the planet of the apes remake. Yes that bad.

Skip Birth of a nation (what's wrong with you?) Why would you wanna see that?

Dr Strangelove I couldn't get through, it was too surreal and there are better anti war movies around. It was like clockwork orange. I couldn't go past about 20 minutes without kissing my teeth and switching it off.

You need a strong boredom threshold to get through the LONG and rambling aimless, Gone With the Wind That is a yawn fest with unbelievable dense characters.

Keep forgetting about Godfather 3. Pretend it didn't happen and you don't know about it lol

Bamboozled was okay but don't expect brilliance. It started out making one point then got lost near the end.

Die Hard 2 3 and 4 You are blaspheming!!! Go and watch them immediately. Bruce runs tings. Two in the airport is cool. Three in NY is okay and the latest is HEAVY. Transformers stole it's thunder but trust me, it was a BIG boy action movie in it's own right.

If you missed Jaws at the time then there's no point now. With 2007 hindsight the shark looks so silly and plastic it's hard to see how people were once scared. Really you'll collapse in giggles AT the movie. Miss

Don't bother with the Star Wars prequels. There is too much crap about them and very little of the magic of the originals. The acting from Anakin and Amidala is so so so bad you won't believe it. Like watching an S-Club TV show. Jar Jar Binks. Say no more

Lawrence of Arabia is very long but worth it I reckon.

Unforgiven is heavy. Eastwood is a great movie maker f'real. If you like westerns in general you'll like this one. It puts fire on cliche and is grittier, downright dirty.

Incog, Blade Runner might be a bit dated now but it's a scifi classic and is very deep. So many themes going on there. The notable one is wether we (as individuals) are merely the sum of our experiences, a collection of memories with a direction... or a something more. How do we define life from artificial life and how do we confront the artificial? I still like that film.
