00:00Life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories, and it crashes through barriers painfully, maybe even dangerously, but, uh, well, there it is.
00:11Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for exactly 24 hours worth of movies to watch before you die.
00:18These are the movies that every movie fan, casual or otherwise, needs to experience at least once.
00:25Rita, I'm reliving the same day over and over.
00:30Number 13. Back to the Future
00:33There's a reason why every film that attempts to pull off time travel gets compared to Back to the Future.
00:39This iconic tale of the eccentric Doc Brown and Marty McFly has been completely ingrained in pop culture for decades now.
00:45Are you telling me that you built a time machine out of a DeLorean?
00:51The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?
00:55Just cause it's a movie for all ages doesn't mean it won't challenge you with its mind-bending paradoxes.
01:01There aren't many films that we'd consider perfect, but seeing these two legendary characters going on their first adventure together is the type of bucket list recommendation we'd make to anyone.
01:11Hey Doc, we better back up. We don't have enough road to get up to 88.
01:14Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads.
01:26Number 12. The Big Lebowski
01:27The Big Lebowski isn't just a movie.
01:30No, watching this slacker masterpiece from the Coen brothers is like going to visit an old friend.
01:35I'm the dude, so that's what you call me, you know?
01:39That or his dudeness or duder or, you know, el duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
01:47Whether it's the infinitely quotable one-liners, the totally bonkers plot, or basically any moment that John Goodman's scene-stealing Walter Sobchak is on screen,
01:56this is the type of movie that film fans get excited about showing first-timers.
02:01There's just one thing, dude.
02:03What's that?
02:04You have to use so many cuss words.
02:07It's by no means a one-note comedy either.
02:10You might just learn a thing or two from the dude's unbreakably laid-back attitude.
02:14Even if you don't, you're bound to have a damn good time watching him try to solve the mystery of Bunny Lebowski's kidnapping,
02:20and how it all ties into his favorite rug.
02:22Stay out of Malibu, Lebowski!
02:27Stay out of Malibu, deadbeat!
02:30Number 11. When Harry Met Sally
02:32If you're looking for the type of movie that stays with you once you're finished watching,
02:36make room for a good old-fashioned romance.
02:39For our money, When Harry Met Sally is about as charming a love story as you'll see in the last 40 years of cinema.
02:44Harry, you might not believe this, but I never considered not sleeping with you a sacrifice.
02:51Fair enough.
02:53Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan deliver a truly imperfect love story that has been copied,
02:57repurposed, and regurgitated so many times, but never really surpassed.
03:02Crystal and Ryan's on-screen chemistry is the gold standard for rom-coms.
03:06Over the years that this film covers,
03:08watching their connection blossom in such an organic way is truly, truly heartwarming.
03:13I'll have what she's having.
03:15Number 10. Jurassic Park
03:17You surely knew this was coming eventually.
03:19What list of must-watch movies would be complete without stepping into the awe-inspiring and truly terrifying world of Jurassic Park?
03:28They're moving in herds.
03:29They do move in herds.
03:33The idea of man playing God and messing with nature had been done before.
03:38It's been done since, but no movie quite manages to bring about that jaw-dropping sense of wonder like Steven Spielberg's 1993 tour de force.
03:46Boy, do I hate being right all the time.
03:51The CGI and practical effects hold up remarkably well to this day.
03:56The film's many climactic set pieces never stop being intense.
04:00There's just something about hungry dinosaurs on the loose that sends shivers down our spines even now.
04:05And those raptors?
04:06Need we say more?
04:15Number 9. Field of Dreams
04:18Every great list of movies needs a sports classic.
04:21If you're gonna watch one, you'd better make it Field of Dreams.
04:24When Kevin Costner's Ray Kinsella hears otherworldly voices urging him to build a baseball field in his backyard,
04:36he dedicates himself to a purpose that only he truly understands.
04:40It might sound like a kooky concept for a sports movie, but trust us,
04:44this is the type of film that will make you want to go out and run a mile.
04:47I built this field. You wouldn't be here if it weren't for me.
04:50Well, you wouldn't be here if it weren't for me.
04:51I'm on a task. You have a family.
04:52I know, but I want to know what's out there. I want to see it.
04:55But you're not invited.
04:58We've all watched heartwarming and inspirational sports movies before,
05:02but this one has a supernatural twist that raises the stakes to a different level entirely.
05:08It's the place dreams come true.
05:17Number 8. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
05:20We were torn between Monty Python's Life of Brian and this one.
05:25In the end, the sheer ridiculousness and laugh-out-loud nature of the Holy Grail edges it ahead of it.
05:30Knee! Knee! Knee! Knee! Knee!
05:33Who are you?
05:34We are the knights who say...
05:37Knee! Knee! Knee! Knee!
05:39From squires faking horse noises with empty coconuts to the most aggressive rabbit ever committed to film,
05:45this offering from the legendary British comedy troupe is one of the most bizarre historical stories you will ever see.
05:52Nothing is off-limits, and the film's logic is broken constantly without any explanation.
05:57Oh, don't grovel. One thing I can't stand is people groveling.
06:01Sorry.
06:01And don't apologize.
06:03Every time I try to talk to someone, it's sorry this and forgive me that and I'm not worthy.
06:08It's a movie so iconic within its field that even its throwaway lines have become pop culture staples.
06:14In other words, it's the most essential comedy flick of the 20th century, bar none.
06:19I fart in your general direction!
06:22Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!
06:29Number 7. Good Will Hunting
06:31The unlikely genius trope has been done many, many times before,
06:36but arguably never better than in this debut script-writing effort from future stars Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
06:41I read that too. Were you going to plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter?
06:47The pair went from total unknowns to household names on the back of this Oscar-winning hit.
06:52The tale of a self-destructive janitor who just so happens to possess an earth-shattering intellect.
06:57Look at me.
06:58What do you want to do?
06:59Supporting performances from Robin Williams, Minnie Driver, and Stellan Skarsgård provide the icing on top.
07:14But it's Damon's titular protagonist that gives us the real soul of the movie.
07:18It's a coming-of-age story, a comedy, a dive into a mentor and pupil relationship, and so much more.
07:25Do you like apples?
07:28Yeah.
07:32Well, I got a number. How do you like them apples?
07:38Number 6. Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse
07:41Looking for a visual thrill ride that doesn't skimp on the substance?
07:45Well, Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse might just be the surprise package you're searching for.
07:49Why am I so sweaty?
07:50Why are you so sweaty?
07:52It's a puberty thing.
07:53Though it's very clearly a superhero flick,
07:57we'd be quite comfortable recommending this one to anyone who enjoys a well-written,
08:01well-paced, and truly hilarious action movie.
08:04Even movie watchers who aren't necessarily into animated films will find lots to enjoy here.
08:08None of you can stay here.
08:10If you stay here, you'll die.
08:12I'm the guy who's gonna turn it off.
08:15And I'm gonna get you all home before I do.
08:18Look, I made a promise.
08:20It's an origin story, but not done like anything you've ever seen before.
08:24Forget everything you've ever known about Spider-Man, Peter Parker, and the world he lives in.
08:28This is a true trailblazer for the comic book movie genre.
08:32I'm not the only one.
08:35Not by a long shot.
08:41Number 5.
08:42Singing in the Rain
08:43If you've got a soft spot for the classics,
08:45you've surely at least heard of Gene Kelly's career-defining turn in the musical masterpiece Singing in the Rain.
08:51Until you've actually watched this one and recognize the many iconic songs that make up its soundtrack,
09:10you don't know what you're in for.
09:12This isn't just a one-note musical, either.
09:14This is a film that barely puts a foot wrong in its 103-minute runtime.
09:27Featuring some of cinema's most iconic dance scenes before eventually culminating in the song that gave the movie its title.
09:33The word classic is thrown around a lot, but here, it's well-deserved.
09:37If we bring a little joy into your humdrum life,
09:42it makes us feel as though our hard work ain't been in vain for nothing.
09:49Bless you all!
09:50Number 4.
09:51Star Wars Episode IV, A New Hope
09:54If you fall into the camp of people who haven't watched the original Star Wars trilogy,
09:58boy, do we wish we were in your shoes.
10:00This is our most desperate hour.
10:03Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
10:05You're my only hope.
10:10Seeing this George Lucas creation for the first time
10:13is the type of movie-watching experience that you'll spend the rest of your life chasing.
10:17Of course, the entry point for the series is one of the greatest introductions to a franchise imaginable.
10:23From setting the stage for heroes like Han Solo,
10:25Obi-Wan Kenobi,
10:27Princess Leia,
10:27and Luke Skywalker,
10:28to introducing perhaps the most iconic villain in movie history,
10:32Darth Vader.
10:33I find your lack of faith disturbing.
10:37Enough of this.
10:39Vader, release him.
10:40As you wish.
10:42A New Hope masterfully draws you into a world
10:45that still has as much relevance today as it did all those years ago.
10:49Great shot, kid.
11:03That was one in a million.
11:05Number three.
11:05Everything, everywhere, all at once.
11:08Mind-bending epics like everything, everywhere, all at once
11:11do not come around as often as they should,
11:13but there's a good reason for that.
11:14To even try to explain the plot of this 2022 future classic would be to do it a disservice.
11:24This is a movie that truly needs to be seen to be believed.
11:28It's part sci-fi, fantasy, comedy, action, and psychological thriller.
11:32What is the truth?
11:37Nothing matters.
11:42At its core, this far-reaching story boils down to a pretty simple tale about family.
11:47And while packing all of these elements into one film may sound daunting,
11:51watching this Michelle Yeoh-led cast pull it off so well gives us hope for the world.
11:55I will always, always, want to be here with you.
12:05Number two.
12:06Groundhog Day.
12:07Ever feel like you're living the same day over and over again?
12:10Well, Bill Murray's Phil Connors does exactly that in this unique and infinitely rewatchable tale
12:16about a man who simply cannot move on with his life until he finds what he truly wants.
12:20No, really. This is the third time. It's like yesterday never happened.
12:28It might sound like a sappy rom-com concept, but this movie hits every single nail directly on the head.
12:33It's the type of concept that we've probably already toyed with before.
12:37Yet watching a comedy legend like Murray live out his day over and over
12:41makes it feel like you yourself are directing his actions.
12:44This movie takes this idea and stretches it as far as it will go without ever becoming a bloated mess.
12:54I couldn't imagine a better fate than a long and lustrous winter.
13:00From Punxsutawney, it's Phil Connors. So long.

13:20Number 1. Toy Story
13:22No matter what age you are, if you haven't sat down and indulged in a couple of hours
13:26watching Woody, Buzz, and the gang going on their adventures, you truly need to remedy that.
13:31I protect the galaxy from the threat of invasion from the evil Emperor Zurg, sworn enemy of the Galactic Alliance.
13:38Oh, really? I'm from play school. And I'm from Mattel.
13:41Toy Story is the first in a franchise of movies that are all honestly great in their own way.
13:47It's the opening movie that cemented these plastic heroes as pop culture icons.
13:51Talking toys may seem like a juvenile idea,
13:54but you'll find more to love in these inanimate objects than in most other characters you'll watch this year.
13:58Oh, yeah. Well, if you hadn't shown up in your stupid little cardboard spaceship
14:03and taken away everything that was important to me...
14:05Don't talk to me about importance, because of you, the security of this entire universe is in jeopardy.
14:10What?!
14:10The plot is so simple that you can't help but relate to it.
14:14With a star-studded cast giving these roles their all,
14:17this one definitely falls into the must-watch category.
14:19If you had time for just one more movie to cap off your final moments on this Earth,
14:33which one would you choose?
