Honestly A Clockwork Orange was not a fucked up as I thought it would be.

Donnie Darko. I just love movies like that! Twisted, confusing and halarious all rolled into one.
Any Arnie movie is a must see movie.
The Fountain is a pretty good movie. It makes you think.
Yeah, saw the Fountain, movie really is crazy trippy; and yeah I guess aside from the fact that no matter how you put it together, you're summary or analysis of the movie is wrong.
Snakes on a Plane. It's a cinematic masterpiece.
Kazaam
Em, really, im surprised no one has said these yet
Shawshank Redemption
Lock Stock and 2 smoking barrels
Pulp Fiction
etc
Amelie
it's cute
28 Days
The Beach
Sunshine
The Man Who Would Be King (Mike Cain [Alfred from the new Batmans] said that when he dies, that is the movie he wants to be remembered for most)
TOGS, when you say Sunshine, you mean the one with Ralph Fiennes, yes? That movie makes me sob.
I meant the Danny Boyle one. I know, I know, a lot of people hated it.
Also, Schindler's List on that note?
Heavyweights I understand and respect, quality quality film.
Bushwhacked does not fit that criteria, you might as well be citing jungle2jungle as the greatest movie of all time.
Fuckin' Jumanji
That film made me realise that it doesn't matter how long one stays in his mother's basement masturbating to animated porn; no one will ever be as pale and pasty as the French. I avoided the film for years thinking it was about a mime based on the front cover.
But yeah, I liked it too. Very cute, romantic movie.
I find French film overwhelmingly charming, on the whole.
Speaking of which, here is a movie that isn't a must-see in the classic sense (ie Casablanca or Lawrence of Arabia - which both are genius films): Girl On The Bridge. I'd put it on the list anyway because it basically sums up French film in one film. The obsession with luck and the whimsical (without going overboard) shine.
Zombie Strippers
The title of that film reminded me of another French film, which, incredibly coincidentally, I would consider to be much the same in terms of not-classic-but-utterly-French quality. It's called, Angel-A, and it's something very very special as far as the cinematography goes.
I love Amelie, Jeux d'enfants and Angel-A, so I'll give your film a watch sometime, Sole

Is Emmanuelle French?
Angel-A is one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen.
Bande A Part is my all-time favourite French film. It should be watched by everyone.
Has anyone mentioned The Seventh Seal yet? Actually maybe I have, this thread has been going on forever...
Add Bedazzled to the list. Not the awful Liz Hurley/Brendan Fraser piece of shit you understand. The comedic masterpiece that is the 1967 Peter Cook/Dudley Moore version.
And Spinal Tap.
The Shawshank Redemption
Shichinin No Samurai
Saving Private Ryan
Das Boot
Rashomon
Green is the new Red.
All right, I have a small list. Some of these may be repeats, but this thread has a lot of posts.
The Conversation
A Room With A View
Breakfast At Tiffany's
Fargo
The Big Sleep
Sling Blade
The Fly (both versions)
The Big Chill
