I mentioned them. Read my post.

I just thought of another one, The Magic Christian, starring Ringo Starr and Peter Sellers.

If you guys are into Kubrick, you should try out two of his earlier films, 'Paths of Glory' and 'The Killing'... both brilliantly executed and make far more sense than '2001 A Space Progessy!'

For me, The Conversation, Taxi driver, Once Upon A Time In America, Goodfellas, The Godfather I & II, Unforgiven, French Connection & Chinatown represent some of the greatest cinematic experiences to come out of post 1970 America... well, you did ask... Films are something I could talk about all night long!!!

MULHOLLAND DRIVE

one of the greastes movies in the world, really looking foward for my next LYNCH EXPIRIENCE.

never seen a Kubrick Film, although i problably will when i have some free time. You know, rent a couple movies, invite my intellinget-movies friend, maybe a girl, and really melt my mind

THE Greatest movies ever (if you are me):

Memento

The Godfather

THE Others

Pulp Fiction

Being John Malcovich

Eternal Sunshine OF The Spotless Mind

Ahhh, hard of the top of my head 

iF I HAD SOMETHING INTERESTING TO SAY I WOULD SAY IT... I HATE THE BEATLES

OMG !! How could I forget "Mulholland Drive"? - Sheer Brilliance

Had to watch it twice before I really began to understand what it was about. The same with "Blue Velvet" - whoa - David Lynch makes some real mind bending films. Just the thing for intellectual discussions of what it all means...

If you think Mulholland Drive is weird (great film, by the way), have any of you seen 'Lost Highway'? 

I thnk 'The Others' is a bit predicatble, and Being John Malcovich really (IMO) only bears one viewing (I think 'Adaptation' is better), but Memento & Pulp Fiction are great, as is Eternal Sunshine... which reminds me, have any of you seen Christopher Nolan's (Memento) first film, following?  Very very clever.

No, haven't got a hold on following, thoug read a lot about it.

About lost Highway, I'm downloading it right now, yeah i'm illegal If like it I'll tell my uncle to purchase it on DVD in the States and bring it, I was thinking of doing the same with blue velvet, but without downloading it,

HOW COULD I FORGOT!!! FIGHT CLUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Prog movies?

The Life Aquatic
Shaun of The Dead
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Clerks
Snatch
Resivior Dogs

but personally, I think, intelligent people like progheads should like any movie that they can appreciate not only for entertainment value, but for other qualities as well. Which is why we love prog.

I'm surprised nobody has mentiond La Vallee. It's a good movie, and the soundtrack is by Pink Floyd.

Have just finished watching the entire "Matrix" trilogy on pay tv. Now that is good proghead stuff although the sound-track is definitely not!!!

I like "The Phantom of the Paradise" by Brian de Palma, good rock from seventies!
Another good musical: Hedwig and the angry inch.
Anybody is fond of Korean movies? I love Oasis, Oldboy, My Sassy Girl, The Foul King, Memories of a Murder, Il mare,... They have a very solid cinematographic industry.

I think Zabriskie's Point is a pretty progressive movie....excellent soundtrack!

The movie High Fidelity....a pretty funny but ultimately lame movie....features a poster of Crimso's Discipline LP on the wall of the record shop where the main character works/owns.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....
