Throw it all out there...movies you've loved that have come out in the last 10 years or so.  There are so many movies out there I haven't seen that I probably should've, so I'd love to hear some I'm missing out on...
 
Even if it's an obvious choice, list it...

I liked The Departed quite a bit if you haven't caught it yet.

Gangs Of New York was cool.

The Apartment (1960)

The Awful Truth (1937)

"Bonnie and Clyde" (Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway............Faye was smoking hot in this flick!!!!)

Another couple of Beatty flicks that I really liked were "Heaven Can Wait" and "Bugsy"

"A Star Is Born" (Kristofferson and that nauseating liberal hypocrite Streisand) I hate her, but it was a great flick.

A good western with Kristofferson done for HBO called "The Tracker"


I'll throw in a Bronson western called The White Buffalo .

Kind of a cult classic. To those with Direct tv and/or a zillion movie channels like I have, it's on tonight at around 10:00pm pst I think. Entertaining and good Bronson dialogue. (is that an oxymoron?)

On a roll.....also with Bronson is the early 70s classic assassin movie "The Mechanic"

I respect what citizen kane did for movies today from a revolutionary movie making stand point but my god i found that to be one of the most boring movies i ever had  to watch.

I love following David Mamet's films (Writer/Director)...  Spartan, Heist, Spanish Prisoner, House of Games, Homicide.  Plot twist galore in them all.

Movies I didn't already see mentioned
 
12 Monkeys
Usual Suspects
Poolhall Junkies (basically, "Rounders" with pool)
Identity
Seven
Snatch
Signs (Shamayalan just tells a great story)
Bottle Rocket (the early Wilson bros years)
Army of Darkness (cult classic)
Friday
Requiem for a Dream
Pi (same director as above)
Donnie Brasco
 
 
I wish I had more for you right now, but I'm kinda fried from being sick, and since I've been moving, all my DVD's are still in a box.  I'll have more later when I can go down the line.
 
And for the record, I hated Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.  So annoying.

If you do watch WILDTHINGS....Don't stop it when the credits are rolling...There is about 5 min. more that you don't want to miss.
