Recommend anything, beware I watch lots of movies.

Anything I may have missed out? Any genre as long as it's good. No older than 80's please.

I love quirky/serious human drama- Revolution Road (amazing), Win Win, Sideways, Shawshank, Closer, etc

I love intelligent scifi in relatable near future- Children of Men, Gattaca, Moon, etc, not a fan of Star Wars/Star Trek

I love any well done epic movies- Blood Diamond, Gladiator, Braveheart, etc...

I LOVE foreign movies too.

If you can find it, Mindwalk. 3 people having an intelligent conversation. No explosions, no car chases...

Let Me In(USA) or Let the Right One In(Norway). Based on the same book. I liked Let Me In. Haven't seen the other but heard it's good.

Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould I'd never heard of Glenn Gould & don't really care for classical music but watched it after hearing positive reviews from Siskel & Ebert & it was on PBS one night A very interesting person & i enjoyed the music a lot more that i thought i would.

Some other good ones:
Death and the Maiden
A Perfect World
The Secret of Roan Inish
Exotica

Apocalypse Now.

Great war movie, the original cut was quite realistic, though embellished a bit for dramatic effect.
