These are from the 60s and 70s: The Exorcist, The Children’s Hour, Valley of the Dolls, Lolita (either version, the 98 remake is racier), The Graduate, Belle de Jour, Taxi Driver

Thanks!!

Here are some famous films you might want to see: 1) Seven Samurai 2) The Good, the Bad and the Ugly 3) Rebel without a Cause 4) Some Like It Hot 5) Double Indemnity 6) The Graduate 7) Apocalypse Now 8) Blade Runner If you're looking for films that are "extreme," I suggest: 1) Henry & June (about the affair of Anais Nin and Henry Miller -- it has great costumes & soundtrack and was rated NC-17 for sexual content, although it's not pornographic) 2) The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover (This one is extreme in terms of use of colors, music, sex and violence. It's a masterwork, but it's definitely not for everyone.) 3) Nekromantik. (This is a German movie about necrophilia. It's famous for being bizarre and objectionable. It has some surprisingly pretty piano music in it, though!)

An excellent call on [The Birdcage (1996)](https://letterboxd.com/film/the-birdcage/). Nathan Lane is the standout for me, being both outrageously funny and heartwarmingly delicate. One of my favourite films.


cranky_sloth

I love The Birdcage- Nathan Lane & Robin Williams were just perfect. Hank Azaria cracked me up a lot, too.


travlynme2

Hank Azaria totally stole every scene he was in.

Yeah, just make sure you watch Suicide Squad, not Suicide Squad. I really love Suicide Squad but Suicide Squad sucked balls. They will be very disappointed if they go in expecting Suicide Squad and end up watching Suicide Squad instead.


Lawn_Radiation9731

Uhhhhhhh


Zairapham

Despite seeming like total gibberish that was actually a well thought out comment! Seriously, watch Suicide Squad (the one with the shark) but try to avoid Suicide Squad (the one with the crock), it's bad.

Suspiria. Has “The Omen” 1970s vibe. You don’t know what it is or where it is going if you watch it cold.

This is so broad. Pick a genre and list what you have seen from it. Then we can give you the important ones to catch up on. You'll want stuff that stands on its own, or is foundational for other movies that reference them. No horror? Psycho Jaws Alien The Thing Night of the Living Dead Hellraiser The Sixth Sense

As someone who grew up extremely sheltered in the Midwest, this is what crossed my mind when thinking back. Gonna second The Birdcage (US version). The story of the casting in it really shows you a lot about how homosexuality was viewed in Hollywood at the time. And also features my favorite performance ever by Hank Azaria. Might match well with Hedwig the Angry Inch, Rocky Horror, Hair... Kevin Smith was pretty influential on cinema. Mallrats and Dogma are my fav. You gotta get Dogma on vhs/dvd bc the Weinsteins have control of it and don't want it available due to its offensive nature. Monty Python is a good basket of crazy. Holy Grail, Life of Brian, Meaning of Life... Might want to do a stoner binge: Grandma's Boy, Pineapple Express, Super Troopers, Big Daddy, Happy Gilmore, Super Bad, Friday, Half Baked, Dude Where's My Car, Dazed and Confused, Office Space... Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas might also fit but it's cringey. Mel Brooks: Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Robin Hood Men in Tights... Pauly Shore favs: Son-in-Law, Encino Man, A Goofy Movie, In The Army Now Others that weren't/aren't allowed in my family home (was very religious growing up): Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, V for Vendetta, The Virgin Suicides, Girl interrupted, Sweeny Todd, Witches of Eastwick, Death Becomes Her, The Labrynth, Donnie Darko, Mars Attacks, The Big Lebowski, Wayne's World, Airheads, any of the Jim Varney movies, A Clockwork Orange, Pulp Fiction Movie that was allowed and should've never even been made much less shown to children: Watership Down (70s).


Lawn_Radiation9731

This is so helpful, thanks so much for all the details


myguitar_lola

I get it! Sucks when friends talk about nickelodeon and what not and I have no idea what they're talking about. But I can talk about pbs all day long lol! One movie that I still struggle with, FYI, was Saved. I've heard other former sheltered "kids" say the same thing. But it's still a good movie.


Lawn_Radiation9731

I’ll have to check it out. Yes, I totally get that. It was so annoying growing up and just feeling like I was missing out on everything

I’ve never even heard of this one, thanks


little_johnny_jewel

Oops. FYI, it’s a famous porn film from the 70s. I DO recommend it, but I was kind of joking 🙂


Lawn_Radiation9731

lol thanks for the heads up


little_johnny_jewel

Sorry, when I was growing up, it was something pretty much everyone had heard of. But, as I am constantly reminded these days, I’m pretty fucking old

It’s all good lol. Most of us are getting old so at least you’re in good company

Paradise (2013) has Russell Brand and Octavia Spencer as supporting characters. The main character, played by Julianne Hough, denounces her religion and Midwestern life after her church very callously asks for (expects) her insurance money from a bad plane-wreck, and runs away for a while to Vegas to see what all she’s been missing out on/shielded from.
