Abed Nadir (Danny Pudi) is a pop culture reference machine in Community, and his taste in movies is second to none. While his favorite TV shows are occasionally questionable (Cougar Town?), if Abed ‘loves’ a movie, it’s probably a classic.

With that in mind, we decided to compile Abed’s ‘favorite’ movies, based on his references and comments in Community.

Abed Nadir’s Essential Movie List

“In space, no one can hear you scream.”

The greatest college comedy of all time, not sure who rated this one.

“Yeah, I use Wagner, scares the hell out of the slopes.”

No movie list is complete without Marty McFly.

Young Rob Lowe and James Spader… need we say more?

Arguably the funniest movie of all time, Donny.

Wesley Snipes will forever be cooler than any of the lame-ass superheroes they shove down our throats these days.

Who doesn’t like The Breakfast Club?

An unbelievably badass film that came about a decade before the studios knew how to sell it (kind of like Blade). Hint: It’s as a superhero. Also, watch Pitch Black first.

Still probably the best superhero film to date.

Bruce Willis when he still had hair. See it to believe it.

Our first introduction to John Rambo. American hero.

De Niro, Joe Pesci… classic.

I guess 90s classics don’t do well on IMDb…?

Matt Dillon as a bully… classic.

You know you like it.

Do we need to discuss the lineup in Predator again?

If you don’t like this movie, you’re wrong.

The best space film ever. Sorry, Apollo 13.

Ahhhhhhnold.

Jamie Lee Curtis and Ahhhhhhnold.
