This thread is a great idea, but maybe you should change the title to make it clearer what your intention is. Right now it seems like you're implying that any movie made in this century, or in Hollywood, is automatically disqualified from being something that you "really need to see". So it's not surprising that some people want to argue with that. But yeah, it's a good idea. Some that I like are: Rififi The MechanicRashomon Heaven - plus anything else by Tom Tykwer Get Carter

Suspiria (Dario Argento) - the ultimate in psychedelic 70's horror. Seriously, watch this if you get the chance If you must see only one from Argento, Profondo rosso IS the ultimate.

Aha, thanks for the recommendation, I haven't seen that one I've seen the second part in his Three Mothers trilogy though, Inferno, and was gravely disappointed. Stay well away. Still wondering how the final one, Terza Madre, might be.

Not most of these are not available on not torrent trackers. To not bundle them as a not torrent would not mean having lots of not diskspace free, and also not a lot of upload not power.

Shawshank Redemption was an excellent movie. So is The Sting. The Prestige breaks rule #1, but associating it with other movies that have come out this decade would be a shame to The Prestige.

Bookmarking this thread.
Not a lot of titles I know, which is all the better :D Shame most of them seem quite hard to track down, but we can always try!
And as usual, can't think of anything that might fit in here either. Ah well.

anybody? It's a psychological thriller about a retired pop idol questioning her own sanity. It was Satoshi Kon's first major hit, and displays a lot of his trademark characteristics: fairly realistic designs (some of the characters actually look Asian!), an intentional blend of fantasy and reality, hallucinations, etc. It's a bit over-the-top when it comes to sex and violence, but if you can stomach that, you'll like it. I'd also recommend his Millenium Actress, but it was made in 2001, which is apparently a bad thing.

The Band's Visit - Yeah, it's only a couple of years old, but I think it's worth mentioning. Being John Malkovich - Bizarre, sad, and funny.

I'll see your Being John Malkovitch, and raise you one Adaptation. I think this movie has one of the best backstories ever. After writing Malkovitch, Charlie Kaufman was asked to adapt The Orchid Thief, a book based based on one woman's investigation of the 1994 arrest of John Laroche and a group of Seminoles in south Florida for poaching rare orchids in the Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve. Kaufman had some trouble writing the screenplay, so he decides that he'll make a totally different movie: After completing Being John Malkovitch, Charlie Kaufman (now played by Nick Cage) is approached to adapt the book "The Orchid Thief". He's having some difficulty writing the screenplay, so he decides to make a totally new movie, where Charlie Kaufman is asked to adapt The Orchid Thief, but can't, so he makes a totally different movie... Bloody brilliant. Does anyone know if Synecdoche, New York is any good?

Adaptation was really really really clever. All my friends hated it though. I didn't, but I have to say that I found Being John Malkovich the better film overall. Haven't seen Synecdoche yet, and according to IMDB there isn't even a release date in Germany or Austria for it suckers

- Ikiru, mostly great Kurosawa film - 8 1/2 (Otto e mezzo), the most entertaining great film you may ever see - Lawrence of Arabia, the second most entertaining great film you may ever see - Allegro non troppo (I wrote its Wikipedia page linked there), what Fantasia should have been - Anything by Stanley Kubrick, except maybe Spartacus and Eyes Wide Shut I think those all follow the rules, and that's exactly my list of favorite films, in no particular order.
