Propose a film (or a few) which you think everyone has to see, a film that simply has to be seen during everyone's lifetime. Preferably a movie that is not that popular and/or known.
My proposition: Affliction
cleo from five to seven
band of outsiders
the truth about charlie (to see how to NOT do a remake)
phantom of the paradise
i don't think it's something everybody HAS to see, but it's still really good and i just watched it:

I know we've heard of it, but no one else has.

Quote from: ewardcleo from five to seven
I actually saw it this week! My prof spent the summer in France going through Varda's archives. From what I hear, she's a control freak and a very difficult woman to work for (I guess her employees hate her). She is still a genius.
Quote from: NEON MERCURY.....the wizard
No fucking joke. This is seriously one of my favorite movies. It brings so much back from my childhood as a videogame playing, neon clothes wearing kid from California.
Any DVD release news? Macguffin? Shouldnt you be on top of this one?

I caught the opening sequence of this on IFC recently, and it captivated me. I immediately added it to my netflix queue. Can't wait to see the whole thing.

i remember really really really wanting to rent this as a kid because i thought the entire movie took place inside Super Mario World.

I love this movie! I watched it the day I went to my first bar, my god did it get me in the mood (for some reason, I had been nervous about the possibility of being drunk in public). Campbell Scott rocks.

Everyone should see Wong Kar-Wai's brilliant HAPPY TOGETHER.
Quote from: Slick ShoesEveryone should see Wong Kar-Wai's brilliant HAPPY TOGETHER.
agreed, although I don't think it is his best work.
A very eclectic list:
MOVIES
--Il Posto
--The Saragossa Manuscript
--The Last Man on Earth (so many roots of modern horror go back to this one)
--Same Time, Next Year (my favorite sappy romantic comedy. Not for the cynical.)
--Hoosiers (I'm always surprised how many people under 27 haven't seen this sports gem.)
--Special Bulletin (A made-for-TV movie that was way, way, way ahead of its time. You should still be able to snag a VHS version.)
ANIMATED
--Grave of the Fireflies
DOCUMENTARIES
--Salesman
--The Thin Blue Line
And I would add
Tsukamoto's Tetsuo
Miike's Dead Or Alive
Kiarostami's Cherry Taste

the straight story
Happy Accidents, Morver Callar, Labruge Espagnole (sp?).
l'auberge, but close enough.
