You should watch (must watch if in bold): Shawshank Redemption, Dr Strangelove, Memento, Usual Suspects, The Pianist, Requiem For A Dream, City of God, American History X, Resevoir Dogs, Clockwork Orange, Donnie Darko, Kill Bill.
I'm curious, what did you hate about Jaws? I loved that one.
My picks to see on there: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Some Like it Hot, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and The Princess Bride. The Princess Bride is one of my all time favorites.
I don't like blood. I will no longer swim in the ocean (Although that's as much to do with jelly fish, cone fish, stone fish etc as to do with sharks.) The Mythbusters proved that when you shoot a pressurised tank it doesn't just explode like that. And that movie (although not intentionally) caused a lot of panic in the community and lots of innocent sharks were murdered because of that.
I will add those movies to my list. Starting with the Princess Bride I think, because I keep hearing a lot about that movie and how good it is, without ever knowing what it's about. (Presumably a princess bride, but, you know.)
Fair enough with the sharkies. I have a friend that's afraid of them, even though coconuts kill more people per year. I can understand the dislike of blood; it's an acquired taste. You would not like Kill Bill then.
Princess Bride is great. It stars Cary Elwes and Andre the Giant. How can you go wrong there? There is some blood in it, but it's not really that much.
I'm not afraid of sharks, I'm just afraid of being eaten by one... Yeah, I know that's a subtle difference, but hear me out. I know that it's said that more people are killed by coconuts and vending machines etc, but I figure if I get hit by either of those drastically enough that it kills me, it's pretty much gauranteed I'll die just about instantly. Not much pain, just BAM I'm dead. I'm okay with that. But to be eaten by a shark... If I had only one wish in life it would be a quick and painless death when my time comes
( ... )
Bite the kerb? I suddenly think I remember that movie, dad hired it once. Did they also raid a supermarket and beat people with baseball bats or something? I saw a bit of it and walked away feeling kind of ill. I hate when people's teeth come out...

Fine, I will watch all those you've suggested, starting with Donnie Darko. I rented it this afternoon.
Well, except Kill Bill. I don't do bloody movies. And if any of those others are bloody I'm not watching them either!
