What genre?
Critical favorite or brainless blockbuster?
Saw you put action there so I'll just list a few with some action in em. You say you've mot but maybe you missed some so here are a few:
Apocalypse Now
If you've got 3h it's always worth another look.
The Bridge over the River Kwai and Lawrence of Arabia.
David Leans masterpieces.
Adaptation
One of the best written movies of all time.
Drive
Killer performance by Albert Brooks.
Wrote this after your comment on genre.
Up In The Air
A movie that has what was supposed to be everything he wanted. Not the traditional Hollywood ending and an intrresten story.
At Close Range, The Deer Hunter and The Dead Zone.
If you like Chris Walken these are the ones to check out.
Network
A classic.
Nosferratu
Dont know what your status is on old/new movies but this is perhaps the old est feature. An unlawful adaptation of Dracula this movie has held up better then mot other takes on the story.
Shadow of the Vampire
A fun little movie that is based on the idea that the reason the leda performance in Nosferratu was so good was because he was an actual Vampire. Features perhaps the best performance in Willem Dafoes career.
Maybe more later. @Conq

i watched a lot of scary movies recently, and the only one that really got to me was The Descent. european girls come to america to go cave-spelunking. the outright "horror" written into the film wasnt too frightening, but the movie certainly violated my claustrophobia. the movie is memorable to me for these reasons even though it's certainly not a top 100 film

I'm pretty open minded, I can't deal with brainless garbage.
Except this, I prefer to save my fight or flight responses for times when I actually need it xD

1998 sequel was so bad... Original three are a good watch though.
