Inevitably at some point you’ll find yourself staring at a friend wondering “What should we do tonight?” The next time this happens you could a) agonize over the possibilities till you want to strangle each other, or b) see an awesome movie you would have never thought of. If you choose the latter, use IMDB’s top 250 movies list for a ratings-based ranking of movies, or AFI’s 100 Years… 100 Movies for a list of artist-selected films. After catching a few of these films you’ll finally recognize all those pop culture references you didn’t understand beforehand.
