I admittedly really do like Scarface. People caricatured it but I felt it was brilliant acting and ive seen most movies on everybody's lists here.

I think it lies in a weird underrated and overrated at the same time area.
Some think it’s the best movie which is of course overrating it.
Some think it’s the worst movie which is underrating.
It’s an enjoyable movie. It is over the top but it works in a way. I can’t really remember the last time I felt like watching it again though.

It’s not on my list. Overrated movie if you ask me.
Lacks replay value for me. Core memory doesn’t unlock. Kind of what I’m going for when picking movies.
Add Spaceballs, Neverending Story, No Country for Old men.

Nice we got someone who watched Bad Boys and enjoyed it? Ahhhh the memories watching this. Been awhile since I’ve watched it but if I cut it on I’d watch it start to finish. Nice mention

I like He Got Game as much as anyone, but I wouldn't call it a movie to watch before you die. As well as Napolean Dynamite. 
I admit, I showed some clips of some movies in the last page that you can say the same, but I posted those movies because they are less known about and I enjoyed them. My list would be more like...
12 Angry Men
The Godfather
Pulp Fiction
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Goodfellas
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Raging Bull
City of God
Parasite
Apocalypse Now
Trainspotting
There Will Be Blood
The Shining
American Beauty
Scarface
Heat
The Shawshank Redemption
Fargo
Gone Girl
The Green Mile
Interstellar
The Matrix

Ahhhhh ok if it’s legit I’m about to die, death bed/hospice? Then I honestly don’t know what movies I’d like to watch on my way to the upper room. In that regard I can see why my list may have some puzzled. But I mean who wants to watch some of this movies on the death bed? lol I see quite a few questionable mentions no better than He Got Game or Napoleon Dynamite. I mean at least Napoleon will make me laugh hysterically while quoting the lines. He got game not so much. I wouldn’t want to watch that if I’m about to kick the bucket
I went with movies that had high replay value + unlocked core memories. Where I feel they are flicks I had to have watched before I leave this planet. Guess that falls into personal most watch then. Just weird to me to think of death and what movies I want to watch.
Interstellar was a great movie that I didn’t watch until 2 months ago. Watched it on a bored day and I’ve seen it 4 times already. City of god was fantastic. Two good mentions.
I never saw 12 angry men before. Or Trainspotting.

Yea Memento was like the original Inception, don't know if that was ever listed. Out of all these movies Inception was one of the few I saw in theaters live.
