RECOMMENDATION THREAD III: Movies

[Amnesiac]

There's a million movie threads here...so this one's a bit different. We've all got lists of movies we love and movies we hate...BUT...then there are the movies that touch us in some way that is pretty hard to describe; we don't want to watch them over and over again, and they may not be among our favorites, but there's just something about them that stays with us.

I went to film school so I know what to call films like these: "GOOD"

A word that cannot be used to describe many films anymore. So the purpose of this thread is NOT to recommend our favorite movies...NOT to recommend the popular movies, but to recommend movies that provide the wonderful or bizarre experiences that you just can't get from anywhere else.

Here's my list:

Repo Man
Nil By Mouth
Barton Fink
Naked Lunch
Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas
