Persepolis

[The Germanator]

Hmm...

An Unreasonable Man
Wet Hot American Summer
The Baxter
Blue Velvet
The Killing
Holiday
The Maltese Falcon
The Wrestler

Just some off the top of my head..

[Angrist]

I could name a few, but it's way easier for both of us to just go to my imdb page. http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=28459984&s=uservote&s=reverse_uservote
9s are must-sees, 8 are really recommendable if it seems like your genre. 7 is pretty good.

Have you seen Stardust? I enjoyed it thoroughly.

[Bube]

Lost in Translation

Wet Hot American Summer
The Baxter
Blue Velvet
The Killing
Holiday
The Maltese Falcon

The Killing
The Maltese Falcon

I haven't seen An Unreasonable Man so can't say, but I hear its a good look at Nader.

Cary Grant is superb in so many films. Haven't seen Holiday(1938) but he's good in:
North By Northwest
Notorious
Arsenic and Old Lace
The Philadelphia Story
His Girl Friday
To Catch A Thief(I bought this not knowing anything bout it, was ok but not a Hitchcock best by any means)

I Haven't seen much of his 1930's films and am only thinking about seeing Gunga din, but I heard he acted horribly in it.

[Angrist]

I haven't seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, but here's 2 I recommend:

Outsourced.
Im Juli.

[Bond]

American History X.

[The Germanator]

Okay let's see

I've seen Mean Girls.. enjoyed it. Lohan has fallen off since then.

Eternal Sunshine of a spotless mind Own

Snatch okay

Blow (Added)
Ocean's 11-13 (Own 11 and 13 don't like 12)

The Baxter
Blue Velvet
The Killing
Holiday
The Maltese Falcon

Seth did probably pick the two best, though I definitely have the softest spot in my heart for Wet Hot American Summer. The humor might not be for everyone, but I think it's one of the funniest movies I've seen.

[Professor S]

Primer

Possibly the smartest movie ever made.

[KillerGremlin]

I still can't believe you haven't seen Training Day....do that.

[BreakABone]

Yeah went through and added some.

Still have Amelie to watch may save for work on Friday, but found out Primer and Maltese Falcone are on instant queue so shall watch those today.

And added Training Day as well as The Lookout.

[Teuthida]

Apparently Steven Spielberg wants to destroy Old Boy...so I suggest you watch that before he does.
