A good film thread
I've pretty much watched everything i own now and can't find anything decent to get so thought we could all have another one of these post a load of good films threads.
Am looking for absolutely anything that's worth watching.
To get people started, some of the best films i've ever seen:
Battle Royale
Donnie Darko
Pulp Fiction
The Usual Suspects
Fight Club
Memento
The Shawshank Redemption
Leon
American Beauty
Resevoir Dogs
I'm assuming everyone's seen these though so am looking for something a bit different.
Das Experiment - German prison thriller absolutely rocked
Run Lola Run is

I've heard some people say that Identity's very good, and others say that it's complete rubbish. So maybe it's good.
Any films that I could recommend to you you've probably already heard of.
Oh, Citizen Kane, it's like 60 years old but it's great. Apparently Orson Welles' other films are better but I haven't seen any of them so I can't judge.

My personal top movies of all time: (In no particular Order)
Rozencrantz and Guildenstern are dead
Judgement at Nuremburg
A Bridge too Far
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
The prophecy.
Others I will mention, just because they are excellent and not many people tend to have seen them:
-Rounders
-La femme Nikita (mentioned by someone above, but with the wrong title)
-Brazil

Changing lanes was pretty ****e imo.
'Super Troopers' is quite watchable, and 'Phone booth' is not as bad as the title suggests.
'40 Days and 40 Nights' is pretty good, if you havent seen it already

I cannot emphasise enough how superb Shaolin Soccer is. (The evil team is called The Evil Team, and it features a subplot about one of the footballer's girlfriend's acne)
