* Back to the Future

Of the "older" films, you must see:

* Casablanca
* Gone With the Wind
* Maltese Falcon
* Singing In the Rain

I adjusted Scott's list to those I am familiar with, tho I think you can miss most of those and not be "deprived". Deprivation sets in if you never get to see:

* Saving Private Ryan
* Schindler's List
* Casablanca
* Singing In the Rain

Those 4 help you understand the WWII generation and coming out of it - multi-Oscar winners among them all except Singing in the Rain - which I think has probably one of the most memorable scenes of any movie.

* M.A.S.H
- never really liked the movie that much, tho it seemed to affect a lot of people profoundly. Set during the Korean War era - my uncle flew fighter jets over there.

Others I have enjoyed as much, but didn't feel deprived if I had missed them
