So, if you have kids, if you are, or were a kid (clearly this excludes people who were cloned into instant adults, as happens in the movies). Here's the list you must see to bring your personal social arsenal up to a usable standard:
- Blues Brothers - the original, not the 2000 sequel crap
- The big Lebowski
- Hudson Hawk
- So I married an axe murderer
- Truly madly deeply
- Pulp fiction
- Monty Python - the whole range of full length films and the Hollywood bowl.
- Four weddings and a funeral
- Time bandits
- The last boyscout
- Casablanca
- Something with Errol Flynn in it - Just to hear an Australian accent on a knight or swashbuckler really, and he came from the same area as my mother.
- Wayne's World - everyone needs to know what to do at the change in Bohemian Rhapsody
- Star Wars - watched in order of release, not episode, so you understand the lame tidy up in ep3.
- Long kiss goodnight
- 5th element
- High fidelity
- Snatch
- 24 hour party people
- Lock stock and two smoking barrels
- The Godfather - at least the first one, if not all three
- Jaws
- and if you live in Australia, you must see The Castle
OK, so some have violence. Violence exists. It doesn't mean it's right, and that's something people have to be taught.
OK, so some have nudity. People, under your clothes, you too are naked. At some stage in life people have to deal with the fact that we're not born with clothes, and what we all roughly look like without them.
Basically, welcome to reality, where people swear, strike out, and are born nude. It doesn't mean it's a bad place, just that it has the full range of colours and sounds.
