Primer - A no-budget Sci-fi movie with no special effects. People who see it often spend about a week trying to figure it out.

The Signal - Very unusual horror movie directed by three different people.

JCVD - Jean-Claude Van Damme plays himself as a washed up action star who stumbles into a Dog Day Afternoon type robbery in this homage to Goddard. You won't believe how emotionally naked this performance is.

Well tell us a bit about the kind of movie you enjoy...

Action
Payback with Mel Gibson: A gritty action movie set in the late 70's early 80's where a career criminal takes on the outfit(a thin reference to the Chicago mob).

Batman begins: Batman the movie series restarted more realistic.(unless you live under a rock you know this)

Boondock Saints: Two brothers on a mission from god, kill a bunch of criminals while one step ahead of the FBI.

Fight Club: Brutal fistfights, a grim philosophical view of modern life, and an anarchist agenda make this movie great...

Gone in 60 seconds: The last Nicolas Cage action movie where I didn't feel like he was older than the role he was cast for.

The Matrix: The first and greatest of the trilogy that pits man against machine.

Um shall I move on to comedy?

Comedy

Shaun of the dead: A smash hit romantic comedy with zombies.

Hot fuzz: from the same people who brought you shaun of the dead.

Super Troopers: The state police have never been so funny and never will again.

Office Space: If you have ever held a corporate job you will relate to this movie it is also hilarious.

Mall Rats: This and Dogma are my favorite Kevin Smith films.

I would suggest the heavily overlooked gem The Iron Giant. One of the greatest animated films ever made.

Movies you should see:
Seven Samurai (the inspiration for many of your fave moveis)
Cypher (low budget good story and cast)
+1 Boondock Saints
Contact (good story)
Dr Strangelove
Hard Boiled (Chow Yun Fat at his best in this Cop story)

Pirates of Silicon Valley: an entertaining look at the start of Microsoft and Apple mostly following the young Bill Gates, Steve Balmer, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.

Hackers: Hack the planet... This film tried not to get into the technicalities of hacking instead focusing on the frame of mind. They did surprisingly well.

Anti-trust: A film about a young idealistic programer who goes to work for a huge company that resembles Microsoft only to find they are killing upstart programmers like in real life only more literal.

I'd like to suggest some scifi movies but feel less than qualified.

Alien 1,2,4 (3 sucked).

Starwars the original 3 ignore the new 3 these are not the movies you are looking for.

Oh and for just plain strange
Donnie Darko

Apollo 13 (http://http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112384/) - inspired by a true story, and features all of director Ron Howard's immediate family in the cast, as well as a cameo by one of the people the movie's about.

Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055630/).

Another Japanese classic that many American action flicks are based on.

I love movies so its really hard to think of all of the good ones that I love. However my favorite movie of all is The Kingdom of Heaven. Incredible Epic, historical movie with a phenomenal story and some incredible acting.

Other great ones in the list would have to include
Batman: The Dark Knight.
Jet Li's Fearless
V for Vendetta
Serenity (and the series Firefly along with it)
Gangs of New York
The Last Samurai
Titan A.E.
A.I. Artificial Intelligence
Bicentennial Man
A Knights Tale
Donnie Darko
Oceans 11
Hackers
The Island
tons more...

two great movies. (Just watched Hackers the other day..So fake but so good. I love the cyberpunk element that the Hackers society employs).
