I enjoyed :
American Beauty
V for Vendetta
12 Monkeys
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Young Frankenstein
Deliverance - pretty tame by todays standards, but shocking back then
Pulp Fiction - although I've just about had it with QT movies - too violent, too many "F" bombs.
Good Night and Good Luck
The Matrix
WAll-E
The Reader
Goodwill Hunting
The Constant Gardener was a well crafted film
I like the Bourne series..
The Monty Python movies.
Lord of the Rings

(<- I couldn't resist!). Just wonderful! The score by Woiciech Kilar is also highly recommended! 
I could see them everyday:
Anything from Emir Cousturica, especialy "Chat noir, Chat Blanc" (from the French translation of course) and "Underground" .
"Brazil".
Because I am a romantic: "The Barber of Siberia" with that skinny and most excellent female actress who might be the best living actress and whose name I never remember...
"The Meaning of Life"
"Dr. Strangelove".
"Bad Lands".
"Vertigo".
"The Deathly Hallows", oops that one hasn't been filmed yet...
Cheers,
M

Agreed. He is such a good story teller and knows how to spin a yarn with a camera. Even out of sequence. It always bums me out that he thinks he needs the violence and profanity crutches. He doesn't.
But he sure sells a lot of tickets.....
Well that is probably what he is trying for - you're right. But I don't find it funny. Never been a fan of blood and guts.
"Mickey One"
Tod Brownings "Freaks" and forgot Teshigahra's films especially "Woman in the Dunes"

Freaks is a great one.
I had some friends who did it as a stage show, years ago. Great stuff.
Little Big Man is also a fav. I used to have a VHS tape of LBM as a test tape. Had to stop using it. No matter where it was in the film, everyone would just stop and watch, always. No work got done. Never seen another with that sort of power. Some movies, some scenes - but never the just any random spot. Remarkable.

That speaks for your character. Mine is totally spoiled in that way. I even could enjoy "Braindead" by Peter Jackson, the uncensored version of course. The relationship to your lawnmower will never be the same after watching this "nice" movie.
Braindead? Try "Versus". Who knew Yakuza zombies took that many bullets/swords/knives/kicks/fists to put down? Tarantino works too hard at a hipster-style. As often as not it crashes horribly, "Kill Bill 2" and "Death Proof" two prime examples.
Some faves:
12 Angry Men
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Seven Samurai
Day the Earth Stood Still
Dr. Strangelove
God of Gamblers
Akira
Shutter (orig. Thai version)
Shaolin Soccer
