I would like to compile a list of movies for my son. He is 25. My mission is to compile a top ten list of essential "regular guy" films that he has not likely watched that line up with films I may have watched and enjoyed up and until the age of 25.
Parameters are as follows:
Pre 1990 release
No major blockbusters aka Jaws, Star Wars, Top Gun etc.
No common popular 'classic' types like Caddyshack, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Animal House etc.
Preferably a film that was under the radar or gained some popularity after the fact or was even a flop.
The first ones off the top of my head to point you in the right direction.
Kelly's Heroes
The Thing (Kurt Russell 1982 version)
The Great Santini
Any suggestions?
