One Hour Photo: :thumbsup:

I like American Beauty and Insomnia too. The Swedish version of Insomnia was good too.

Event Horizon while a sci fi movie, is disturbing as well. And somewhat thought provoking.

That movie scared the sh*t out of me when I saw it in the theater. :Q
 
A Beautiful Mind
A Clockwork Orange
A Handmaid's Tale
Battle Royale
Blade Runner
Fight Club (duh)
L.A. Confidential
Paycheck (New, I know, but I thought it was good)
Seven Samurai (In general, any Akira Kurosawa films)
Six String Samurai (A little tongue in cheek, but it's all allegory)
Soylent Green (Unfortunately I'm sure you know the ending already)
Total Recall (If you look deeper than "GRR, ARNOLD KILL!!")
Vanilla Sky (Or the original, Abre los Ojos)
Versus
Waking Life
Yojimbo (which was remade as Fistful of Dollars, which was remade as Last Man Standing)
Z (Yes, that's the name)

That's all I could think of off the top of my head.
 
I just watched the Manchurian Canidate last night and it is a very great film. I recommend that to anyone because it held my interest more than any old movie ever has.

Das Boot is also a very good flick along those lines.

Very true, though Raynor said he wanted to avoid war movies if possible. Still, these are good flicks.

All Quiet on the Western Front is an old war movie, like 1940s I think. The reason why I think everyone needs to watch it is because it was the first war movie to ever suggest that war is not glamorous or that the good guys win every time. Even by today's standards it is a moving and thought-provoking work.

DB is technically a war movie, but it's really more of a psychogical "thriller" IMHO. Not a hell of a lot of Rambo-Napalm-type stuff. 😛

Good call - I forgot about Adaptation. That is one of my top few films from the last few years.

A few more I forgot:

Blood Simple
Miller's Crossing
Near Dark
 
There's been some good suggestions so far. I'll add to the list

Tom Tykwer movies: (all of these are really interesting in their own way, and very well done)
Run Lola Run (probably the most well known here in the US
The Princess & Warrior
Heaven

Other ones:
Identity
House of Sand & Fog (mentioned previously in this thread I think)
Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance (A Korean movie, but you can find it on DVD. EXCELLENT film)


There's a few to get you started anyways

Another great choice. While we're at it, Day of the Jackal (not the dreadful Bruce Willis/Richard Gere remake) is brilliant.
