Hot Tub Time Machine...2012...etc...

I love John Cusack movies.

Metropolis - because they've just re-released in close-to-original form using 30 minutes of material discovered by chance in South America. Also, because it's Metropolis.

[Chicky]

Seeing as Dualy hadn't heard of my previous films, here are some more mainstream gems:

Black Sheep (2006)
Seven Pounds (2008)
Slumdog Millionaire (2008)
Pineapple Express (2008)
Cemetery Junction (2010)

Oh and FYI, Yogi Bear is going CGI this year.  :'(

[Guybrush Nosehair]

Slumdog Millionaire (2008)

That was one of the best movies I've seen.

[Calin Leafshade]

You guys suck at this.

The correct answer is:

Psycho,
Silence of the Lambs (plus Red Dragon),
Vertigo,
A Clockwork Orange,
Fight Club,
One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest,
The Shining,
Godfather Trilogy,
American Beauty,
Manhattan

Also for fun:

Cruel Intentions,
Gossip,
The Hole,
Dead Man On Campus,
100 Girls,
Sleepless in Seattle (Shut up it's a good film)

[Wonkyth]

I will second:
One flew over the cuckoos nest;
Black Sheep;
Slumdog Millionaire(YES!);
Fiddler on the roof;
a Space Odyssey: 2001;

And I will suggest:
The Castle, an Australian classic that I've not yet seen a foreigner understand;
A knight's Tale, not D&M in any way, just a damn fun film;
The Sting, fantastic double-cross, great acting, great soundtrack;
Milo & Otis, because it's been one of my favorite films since I was young.

[Quintaros]

If you're looking for those lesser known gems the one that most readily comes to mind is:  The Hill.  As it was described to me: "the best Sean Connery film you've never heard of."

[Hubris Incalculable]

Serenity

cause firefly was teh awesomnest show on the air

[Wonkyth]

This is assumed. 

[Paper Carnival]

A Clockwork Orange
Brazil

Two of the best movies I've ever seen.

[tzachs]

Ok, here's what comes up for me (most of them were already mentioned, but oh well):

Fight club,
American beauty,
Memento,
The usual suspects,
Clockwork orange,
The princess bride,
Airplane,
The pink panther,
Dogma,
All of Will Ferrell movies,
Inception (just seen it the other day, brilliant!),
Good morning Vietnam,
Snatch,
and so many more (I see too many films)

[LimpingFish]

A few of the top of my head, while I try to stay away from the obvious:

The Bird With The Crystal Plumage (1969)
Barton Fink (1991)
Django (1966)
The Wicker Man (1973)
The Church (1988)
The Front (1976)
The Long, the Short and the Tall (1961)
Brainstorm (1983)
Silent Running (1972)
Messiah of Evil (1971) - available to watch/download at the internet archive.

All great films, though for vastly different reasons.

[m0ds]

Not necessarily my favourites, but ones that definitely left me very satisfied, haw-hee haw-hee:

Moon, Event Horizon, Shutter Island, Children of Men, City of God
Some Like it Hot, Crank 1 & 2, Click (topher Walken), Wedding Crasher (s..topher Walken)

Good thread. I need to rewatch Memento, great film.

[DoorKnobHandle]

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

[Grim]

Chicky mentioned Somers Town earlier- I liked that film too:)

If I may add something from myself, I'd say Lost- even thought it's a series, not a film... it's still got production values of a good movie imo... I thought I'd mention it since I'd just watched the entire last season at one go and I'm very impressed....

[Babar]

Awww....so this was being serious? Alright fine!

Some/Most of these are probably fairly well known, but still.

In Bruges
Delicatessen
Mad Max trilogy (or at least 1, so that you can watch 2)
Unforgiven
The Big Lebowski
Indiana Jones, especially part 3 (yes, yes, I know, but it is amazing how many people haven't watched it)


I can't remember the rest right now.

[Andail]

I second In Bruges, it's a great movie but not very talked about.

Apart from that, I think basically all movies DiCaprio has done recently have been nothing short of awesome. Blood diamond, the Departed, Inception, Shutter Island. That guy really knows how to pick his movies.

[Dualnames]

I second In Bruges too.
Now, Brazil,that's a good damn epic movie.

I may suggest:
-Logan's Run
-Mad Max (cause Mel Gibson wasn't a pussy at first)
-Memento (One the most fantastic movies ever.)
Someone suggested Vertigo, and there goes
-Rear Window to accompany.

ANYTHING DIRECTED BY STANLEY KUBRICK. CAUSE HE'S AWESOME.

-Blade Runner.
-Twelve Monkeys (Cause damn there's nothing like it!!)

[cat]

This list is missing

Fargo and
North by Northwest

Without a clue

[Chicky]

So many great films. You guys have good taste.
