No particular order:
The Usual Suspects
Se7en [these first two are often listed together...]
12 Angry Men [which I almost forgot about, even though it is GREAT, thanks l&t]
Sling Blade
Citizen Kane [seen this yet??? I put it off, too, but it's STILL ahead of its time
cinematography-wise in some ways, and that's saying something b/c it was made in 1944]
The Blues Brothers
Paul Thomas Anderson's movies
Death of a Salesman [the 1984 version with Dustin Hoffman and John Malkovich. MUST-SEE! Maybe the greatest American play performed by some of America's greatest actors!!]
American Buffalo
Fargo [I saw this in an art-house theatre before anyone knew about it]
Scorsese: Raging Bull [best acting performance in film history by you-know-who], Taxi Driver, Casino, Goodfellas]
Head [the Monkees movie directed by Jack Nicholson…if you don’t believe it’s brilliant, take a look]
Philadelphia
Hearts of Darkness [about the making of "Apocalypse Now", and one of the GREATEST documentaries ever made!! Hard to find, but some libraries have it for you to watch on their Laserdisc machine.]
Cloak & Dagger
Bill Cosby Himself [one stand-up perfomance. a master and a genius!]
Sneakers
Ferris Buller's Day Off [I think this is so good, it's a work of mainstream art!]
Pi
Heat [great, and what an ending...phew!]
Deer Hunter [UNBELIEVABLE. Run to rent this! Scariest movie I've ever seen, and it doesn't even attempt to be a horror movie.]
K. Smith: Clerks and Chasing Amy
