I started answering this but my reply got huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge. I’m sure you’ll get a ton of great recommendations from everybody else, but if you want to add me as a friend on Netflix, you could just browse through my rated movies and see if there’s anything that catches your eye!

Wit

Seven Samurai
Nude on the Moon
Wordplay
Kiki’s Delivery Service
The Lost Skeleton of Cadavera

If you live near a Netflix shipping center you can conceivably watch 2 a week. I like to send one Monday, get it Wednesday, send it back Thursday, get a new one Saturday, and send it back Monday. Works really well if I stick to it.

These are my favorites, though you’ve probably already seen them:

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Garden State, Shaun of the Dead, The Royal Tenenbaums, Fight Club, The Godfather 1 and 2, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Saved, Oceans 11, Donnie Darko, Goonies, Malcom X, Bullitt, Casablanca, It’s A Wonderful Life, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Feel free to comment me if you want more, I love to talk about movies, or if you want to add me as a friend on Netflix (500 Rated, 300 on my queue!)

@Dave; Seven Samurai is absolutely brilliant! Good pick.

Ghost Dog, Gas Food Lodging, Niagra Niagra. Oh wait. I have no idea if these are on netflix. Suspiria is another good one.

Wow, GD_Kimble, great list. I am saving that to comb through for movie nights to come.

Whatever you do, don’t buy a Roku; you’ll find 52 on-demand movies that no one has ever seen!

the ORIGINAL The Thin Man and its sequels

The Quiet Man…great John Wayne movie, unlike any other John Wayne movie

Carlito’s Way

Corrections:
#8 on my list SHOULD read “Megaforce”, not “Meagforce”. Besides which, upon further reflection, Megaforce was great when I was a kid, but truthfully, it’s a pretty terrible flick. So let’s replace it with:

8. The Tao Of Steve (2000)

Also #22 Condorman.. is wonderful, but it too is essentially a kids movie, so let’s make it:

22. The Conversation (1974)

I know you only asked for 52, but heres 300 my goal is to watch all of these movies.

It would help me to know your approx. age. I’m an older man, so an older movie I love might be a turnoff to you.
