All of these movies are worth watching, some you should have been forced to watch already. Watch them, not because they're on a list of movies you should watch, but because you love a good story, appreciate engenuity, a good laugh, or recognize excellence in art. Hope to add many more as I encounter them. Also, note that most sequels are left out as well as films from the same director with the same feel. If you didn't like No Country for Old Men, you probably won't like Fargo. Similarly, if you don't like Batman Begins, you probably won't enjoy The Dark Knight. The goal is to help you find movies you'd like to watch. When you find one you like, check the director or series out. Gen X and Millennials, this one's for us.
