Decided I might as well try to compile a working list of all the movies I've seen which I think other people might enjoy. MIGHT. This doesn't include movies I've seen which I completely disliked. This doesn't include movies that I've heard are good but I haven't seen.

EDIT: tfw Basil doesn't let you skip lines in a massive list

@xproheal: no it's not good. People just think it has genius ideas and plots, most of which I could have thought up on the crapper this morning.

@cuddymd here are shows I have watched and found it worth binge watching and keeping up with:

-Game of Thrones

-The Walking Dead (I watched from when season 1 came out so that might be why it's entertaining for me still. Most people who start now get bored because "omg no zimbi actshun in 2 seasoning".

-The Office

-Parks and Rec (actually I haven't checked to see if I watched all the seasons but it was fun for the first few)

-South Park (greatest comedy and satire of our time)

-Stranger Things

There are lots of good movies out there. Go look at IMDb top 250 or something.

GreatBolshy

the sopranos
the wire
the walking dead
orange is the new black
the exorcist (god tier sp00ky show that's really underrated)
agents of shield
the blacklist
lucifer
black sails (pirate show that's really underrated. first seasons kinda slow but hang on for season 2 and 3. the final episode of season 2 was one of the best episodes of any tv show i've ever watched. even if you don't plan on watching the show, it's a good episode with some awesome effects that you should check out)
11.22.63
stranger things
damien (cancelled after a season sadly. was way too slow and had a bad timeslot. episode 1 was really good and the last episode of the season was phenomenal after having to deal with all of the buildup through the season)
sons of anarchy
fear the walking dead
house of cards
the flash
gotham
lost
billions
limitless
arrow
south park

my full list of tv shows is 4x this and is mostly unsorted so i probably missed a few good ones.
