Since most of us will be stuck in the house for a couple more weeks (Fuck you COVID-19!), I thought I’d share a list of “must-see” movies to watch while trapped inside.

This is the first list that I’ll drop. If you want any more recommendations, leave a comment or hit me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/J_In_finity

Cabin In the Woods

If you are a horror fan and have not seen this movie then you need to stop reading this now and go watch it! The Cabin in the Woods is a very satisfying treat even after the twist very early on in the movie.

One of the best parts is all the monsters cramed into this movie.

Judge Dredd (2012)

In my opinion, one of the most overlooked movies ever. Please try to erase the memory of the Sylvester Stallone version of Judge Dredd from your head. Judge Dredd 2012 is nothing like that movie and is more on par with the graphic novel that the movie is based on.

The Platform

Social satire done well. Not going to say much about this movie. Just go watch it.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

I’m not sure how this movie got overlooked when is was first released. This is a movie that didn’t get ANY of the regonition that is deserved. For me it’s a classic and gets watched whenever it’s on cable.

The Invisible Man (2020)

I set the bar really low for this movie based on Hollywood’s record of ruining classics with remakes. The Invisible Man set the bar way high for what a remake can be. There aren’t too many decent remakes. This movie sets itself apart by just being a genuinly great movie.

Fun Fact: By my count (I Googled it!), this is the 21st movie based on H. G. Wells’s original story.

Equilibrium

Some of you may not have known this movie existed until now. The movie was released in 2002. I think I hadn’t heard about it until maybe 2009?

Like Martial Arts? Like guns? Then imagine martial arts where guns are used to kick and punch. That’s this movie.

Hard Boiled

An action classic directed by John Woo and starring Chow Yun Fat. What more could you ask for?
