I was unsure which film to start with so I decided that I would begin with the movie that first got me hooked on cinema.Fair warning: this movie might be infuriating, not nearly as annoying as Memento (which I will get to later), but infuriating none the less. You are thrown into a situation and you really must pay attention. Do not give up or you will deeply regret it!
Also, if you have any particularly annoying friends who have seen The Usual Suspects, do not let them ruin it for you. Even if they manage to, WATCH IT ANYWAY. And then, WATCH IT AGAIN. You seriously need to watch this movie twice because you will be watching a different film the second time.
Categories of note:
Story
Dialogue- Stuff of classic noir
Acting- Benicio Del Toro. Enough said.

6:00 in, do not watch until you see the movie!)
You might like: Memento, Goodfellas, Moon, Shutter Island, Brick
Parent Watchability: approach with caution
The movie does contain violence and (a lot of) swearing so I wouldn't watch with you 8 year old cousin but there aren't many moments that you would feel incredibly uncomfortable watching with your parents. I personally loved watching this movie with my family because it's a really fun movie to share with others.
