Ooh, just thought of a few others.
Bowfinger - very underrated comedy making fun of the movie industry.
Singles - story of 20/30 somethings in Seattle as grunge was taking off. Lots of good music.
The Game - Michael Douglas and Sean Penn.

Eddie and the Cruisers is one of my favorites
Southern Comfort- one of the first videos my family rented with our new VCR

 

[Overthereguy]

Dead Snow

Troll Hunter

 

[olelion]

Legends of the Fall
Man on Fire (Denzel Washington version)

 

[olelion]

Summer of '42
Day Earth Stood Still

I had an instant crush on Jennifer Oneill from that movie. TDTESS with Michael Rennie was great. Hated the remake

In 1968, the elderly David "Noodles" Aaronson (Robert De Niro) returns to New York, where he had a career in the criminal underground in the '20s and '30s. Most of his old friends, like longtime partner Max (James Woods), are long gone, yet he feels his past is unresolved. Told in flashbacks, the film follows Noodles from a tough kid in a Jewish slum in New York's Lower East Side, through his rise to bootlegger and then Mafia boss -- a journey marked by violence, betrayal and remorse

Man I forgot to list this. The director's cut is one of the best movies I have ever seen

 

[Lion84]

2 from George C. Scott:

The Flim-Flam Man
They Might be Giants
Also - Fandango - Great Cast with young Kevin Costner/Judd Nelson and Suzi Amos.

I would add Grandma's Boy. I was going to also add This is the End but that made over $100M which totally surprised me.

Jason and the Argonauts
Journey to the Center of the Earth
Ice Station Zebra
The 300 Spartans
The Mouse That Roared
Time After Time
Excalibur

Any of the Godzilla, Mothera, and those Japanese movies dubbed in English. They are a hoot!!!!!!

Saving Grace -- trust me on this one. The Pope accidentally gets locked out of the Vatican and makes his way to a country village that is all squalor and poverty. Giancarlo Giannini plays a priest and is excellent.

Spinal Tap -- I go to 11 and so should you. See my avatar.

Bolero -- Bo Derek. Let me repeat, Bo Derek. An otherwise forgetful movie, but Bo Derek.

I love baseball, so A League of Their Own, Eight Men Out, Field of Dreams, Bang the Drum Slowly, Moneyball, and Trouble with the Curve are all on my binge list.

Do you go to 11 when you want that extra push over the cliff?

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Frailty
Mud
Winter’s Bone
Nightcrawler
The Hunt
Inherent Vice
You Were Never Here
An Everlasting Piece
‘71
Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels
Snatch
Donny Darko
Room

Nightcrawler was great!! Man was Gyllenhaal creepy in that

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Some that were cited above, but still:

Fandango - the last scene of a dance under paper lanterns makes me so sad to think of the end of carefree youth and the beginning of regret for paths not taken. It’s really hard to describe, but it’s a bummer

Arlington Road - with OKC, Waco and Ruby Ridge in the news, a creepy look at domestic terrorism and those dangerous individuals that lurk in our midst.

The Gift - Jason Bateman and Joel Edgerton. Oh my god the twist at the end.

Tourist Trap - one of the creepiest horror movies of all time

Spinal Tap - I literally beg people to see this movie

Nightcrawler - Jake Gyllenhaal and Bill Paxton as crime scene paparazzi.

Funny Games - never saw the original, but the American remake with Tim Roth, Naomi Watts and Michael Pitt is fantastic.

 

[Beachwineguy]

Keep remembering more:

Crazy, Stupid, Love : yeah, it’s a rom-com, but it does have a couple of twists that are unexpected.

The Big Short: Great movie about the 2008 housing bubble.

 

[Still in State College]

I just thought of one: The Big Picture with Kevin Bacon. Martin Short is ridiculous in his role as Bacon's agent.

 

[Obliviax]

I'd like to add another...

So I Married an Axe Murderer

good music, too.
