I'm inside, in the comfort of the air-conditioner, so I'm thinking what to watch/download. I have some 20 keeper flicks, and I usually search FrostWire by the year for new movies. I asked my students, but they like only cartoons, so let see, what I've missed.
My keepers: Godfather1,2; The Shawshank; The Good, The Bad & The Ugly; The Gatekeepers; Munich (Mossad); The Good Shepherd; The Spy Game; The Russia House; Three Days of Condor; Leon; The Goodfellas; Casino; Heat; Carlito's Way; Pulp Fiction; The Usual Suspects; The French Connection 1,2; Snatch; Fracture; Man on Fire; Citizenfour ('Up-yours'); The Imitation Game; The Silence of the Lamb; One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest;....I have on temp. hold Lone Survivor; In The Name of Father (IRA); Enemy of the State; Body of Lies; Killer Elite;.... I need some romantic stuff, like C. Goretta 'La dentelliere' and similar.
Lock, stock and two smoking barrels. From the people who made Snatch.
Fight Club
Two funny zombie movies... Shaun of the dead and Zombieland.
The Green Mile
American Sniper.
San Andreas was surprisingly fun movie to watch. It should have been very bad.
Amour fou. french romantic comedy.
Jaws
Terminator
T2
Midway
Ben-Hur
Casablanca
Gone with The Wind
It is sad that i liked Notting hill and finding Mr Right

You should show them a movie like The Corpse Bride or The Nightmare before Christmas.. or the Polar Express.
Chinese children LOVE those movies.
What are your keeper flicks? If people know what you like it's easier to recommend something similar.
It's been awhile since I watched something that really impressed me, but Road to Paloma is a flick I did enjoy. It's quite recent, like 2014.
Firstly, I suggest you buy yourself a projector... and preferably 3D. I went BenQ W1070. It's only about the size of a wide shoebox, and lighter than a pair of boots - so you can take it with you when you move around (or go back home). Price is about 5000RMB - but it should be with you for quite a few years (so, in my mind, very much worth it!) Don't need the screen, a nice white wall will do the job well enough. And also, a decent audio system (home theatre, or just gaming system from the pc). Make sure it has good base! (hearing GoT's theme with a good base out of 6-surround sound speakers is great!! )
If you get that set-up, then the Hobbit movies look awesome (visually - although perhaps not the actual movie... talking about the last one..!)
And gaming can be great (if you're into it)... 3D on a 3mx2m wall with surround sound!!! (I'm keeping myself off such things until my dissertation is finished!)
While movies are good, don't forget tv series!
As for what you should watch... all depends on taste! My keepers are rare... LotR etc, and other stuff on my other external HDD...
