Arrow Quintessential TOTSE Movies.

Movies that you have to watch to consider yourself a totseian, movies that come up often through references throughout totse. The list is not if you like the movie, or if totse would like the movie, this is a list of movies that are central to totse 'pop-culture'.

I don't care how cliche they are. That's the point of the thread.

In no particular order.

- Fight Club

Beyond being entertaining and a well made movie, his movie not only has the overtone of anarchy/alternative beliefs, but also has home-made explosives - a discourse essential to totse.

- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

An obvious movie for the totse culture of drugs. Adrenachrome questions are often asked by n00bs in BLTC. The movie oozes totse.

- Pulp Fiction

Although not central to totse discourse, this movie uses guns, violence and the word 'nigger', which appeals to the teenage male totse demographic. It is also a movie in pop culture, so people usually pick up on references.

Another that comes to mind is American History X. I'm not sure if it deserves recognition in this list, but it would appear so from what I've seen. Members seem to like it. I have no idea? Am I right/wrong?

Any I've missed?

Star Wars, to my knowledge, and of course I'm making this up, Star Wars is the movie with the most Totse users named after it.

You forgot Boondock Saints.

I would put this in the holy trinity of teen movies which would also include Fight Club and American History X. This movie contains alcohol, retards, and guns, all part of the essence of TOTSE.

Good job, you guys killed it.
Every other suggestion from here on out is secondary, other than maybe Requiem for a Dream, which this forum seems to love to argue about.

For some "secondary" picks, I'd go with The Matrix, Scarface, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Goodfellas, Reservoir Dogs, Apocalypse Now, maybe One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest but I doubt a ton of totseans have seen it.

Fail, nobody on this board like that film.

But pretty much every Kubrick film. And yes, boondock saints even though it aint anything in particular.
