Primer was fucking nuts, I got completely lost in that film twice.
You should check out The Prestige - early-ish Christopher Nolan. It's got David Bowie in it playing Nikola Tesla.

2001 a space Odyssey, blade runner,light shop of horrors and 2011 the year we made contact the sequel to 2001 it not as good but it is a good interpretation of what Kubrick did at the end of 2001
Hedgehog in the Fog, or really any short by Yuri Norstein. If you like stop motion you'll find the stuff he's done to be utterly amazing. One of his works, Tale of Tales, has even received the tile of greatest animated film of all time in various polls, but you may have to watch it a couple of times to fully comprehend what's going on. (I know I did.)
I just watched it. It was great and I did not foresee the ending until it was happening. And looking back it was fairly obvious so it did not come off as a twist. Usually I pick up on these things way ahead of time and ruin it. I hate movies with terrible endings.BlueberryMUNCH said:
Movies with good endings:
Repo Man- great ending had my head spinning for a while with the unfairness of it all. By the way not "Repo Man:the genetic opera" although good you need friends to watch that one with you and perhaps drinking because it is rather silly.
Smokin' Aces: Loved that ending and showed that the falling action after the climax can be powerful with a good musical score too.
Too many movies have terrible endings.
Try "Brazil." It's a great mindfuck of a movie. Another film I enjoy is "American Beauty." It is a beautiful film and will also help you understand a few jokes from Family Guy. My third recommendation is "Minority Report." It is one of the best sci-fi films I know (in my opinion).
Movies that I like that you might not are these:
Shooter
Rollerball (both the original and the remake)
Orgasmo (by Matt Stone and Trey Parker)
Mad Max trilogy
1984
Enjoy
EDIT:
completely forgot about "Snatch," "Scary Movie 3," and "History of Violence."

Oh just though of one but can't remember the name. Its a Japanese triple feature if anyone remembers. All 3 movies are shorts. The first is a woman who feels useless so she turns into a chair, then there is one about a guy who can't leave his house and is obsessed with scatological pursuits. And finally there is one about a homeless man who terrorizes the city. He comes across as a normal angry homeless man but people flee from him like Godzilla.
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
My favorite movie of all time. Robert Downey Junior and Val Kilmer. Probably one of the funniest movies from the last ten years.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Back to the Future (all 3)
Animal House
Spaceballs

Well I'm gonna recommend you a bunch of classic movies that I fucking love and are very very entertaining. Most of them you probably have already seen but if you haven't, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WAITING FOR. Here is the list.
Fight Club
LA Confidential
Being John Malkovich
American History X
Taxi Driver
Original Star Wars trilogy (yeah yeah I know. I said all of them, and you are gonna watch them. Again)
The usual suspects
Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
Really anything from Tarantino...
I'm not into the drama genre much but when I see a good dramatic movie I recommend it to everyone. So go watch Hurricane Carter. It's the ONLY film to date that has made me cry. Twice. Like, couldn't-resist-it-anymore-cry. Definitely kills and stomps on any kind of good mood you could have tho.
That's it for today. I could list a shitton of other fantastic movies here but I'm not going to overwhelm you because that will result in you not watching any of them. You'll have a good couple days of entertainment with these

I was just thinking of that one when this thread popped up.NinjaDuckie said:
Two films that I feel have sort of slipped under the radar is Nolan's Insomnia, and Red Dragon. Both interesting stories about relatively sympathetic killers, and how they came to be.
Like the "Grand Theft Auto" series?
A fan of Michael Douglas?
Infuriated by petty annoyances?
A-holes at McDonalds won't sell you anything on the breakfast menu, even though it's only 11:35?
Then you'll love "Falling Down" one of my all-time favourite movies.

that being said go watch shawshank redemtion, The stand, Fight club,and if your going to watch scott pilgrim watch kick ass there not related but the effects and angles timing and story were all spot on for those and both are fantastic
