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!!!

Indeed, a great film.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was really great...

But The Others? I haven't seen it , but is it actually good?

Some of my fav's are:

Fight Club, River's Edge , Bully and Fraility

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

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... 

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.

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.
