Iconic movies - school me!

[Elmer_Hauser]

Is it scary? I'm a pussycat.

More of a suspense thriller than a traditional out and out scarefest.

 

[Cruyff14]

Another lover of The Firm. Awesome film.

Primal Fear is a must watch also.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

This list be gettin long

 

[Gough]

the Firm is excellent

I read the sequel to that recently and only finished it because I hoped someone would kill Mitch.

x2 for Primal Fear. ****ing incredible flick.

Young Edward Norton, younger Richard Gere. You'll love it MrsEddieBetts

 

[Billy ray]

You seen Brewsters Millions MrsEddieBetts ?

 

[Cruyff14]

The Fugitive as well, for sure.

 

[bommer16]

The Fugitive as well, for sure.

Another film I never tire of watching.

This list be gettin long

I feel like people are abusing the word iconic here and making the list far too long. We should try and find one iconic pic for each genre and then when you've finished that, go again. For example...

Iconic action movie: Speed
Iconic sci fi movie: The Matrix
Iconic comedy: Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Iconic geriaction thriller:John Wick

What I'm saying is just watch Keanu Reeves movies for the next month.

I feel some people and critics confuse thr terms of Iconic and cult classic films.

For instance Galaxy Quest is a movie I wouldn't call Iconic, but definitely would be describe as a cult classic (despite asshat crank Tim Allen in it)

Speaking of Keanu films, we had to watch and study Much Ado about Nothing in highschool.

I don't think it's the Iconic Shakespeare film (that would be the brilliant Othello) but i have been meaning to watch this again.

Haven't seen it since I was 16, look at that all star cast !

Michael Keaton is an actor I definitely would describe as Iconic ! What a legend !

 

[Cruyff14]

GREAT IDEA

NO.

WATCH THE FUGITIVE AND PRIMAL FEAR FARKEN.

How have I never watched this adaptation?! I love Emma Thompson and Michael Keaton!

 

[MatthewB]

Another film I never tire of watching.

always watch it if i catch it on Foxtel

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

The Fugitive as well, for sure.

Is that Harrison Ford?

 

[Cruyff14]

Is that Harrison Ford?

Yes. It's bloody brilliant.

Usual Suspects another excellent film from the 90s.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Yes. It's bloody brilliant.

Usual Suspects another excellent film from the 90s.

I’ve seen the Usual Suspects. I’ll watch The Fugitive just for my man Harrison.

It's ****ing fantastic. 10/10 film.

 

[Billy ray]

100% watch Dr Richard Kimble

 

[spinynorman]

Primal Fear is total trash.

Days of Heaven for Richard Gere representation. He’s in his 20s in it too so young for once!

This isn't the hot takes thread mate!

PF is top shelf.

ICONIC movies ONLY you guys

 

[JackOutback]

Primal Fear is pretty iconic for its ending and for Ed Norton smashing it out of the park in his first role.

 

[HalloweenJack]

I have to agree that Primal Fear is awesome. My favourite Richard Gere movie is Breathless. It is a remake of a 60's classic French film of the same name. Both are well worth watching.

If you want to delve into the 40's then Casablanca and Citizen Kane are both classics and iconic.

The Breakfast Club is a great movie.

The man who fell to Earth is a great Bowie watch.
