Now, you should assume that I don't know shit about the film industry, and in this assumption of yours, you would be correct. Also in this handy-dandy assumption of yours, assume that I've seen nothing except these movies:

Alice in Wonderland
Annie Hall
Band of Outsiders
Clerks
Dogma
Dr. Strangelove
Eyes Wide Shut
Full Metal Jacket
Kill Bill, Vol. 1 and 2
The Godfather
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Psycho
Pulp Fiction
Requiem for a Dream
Reservoir Dogs
The Royal Tenenbaums
Rushmore
The Shining
Wild Strawberries

Assumption #3: I will not stand for mindless action flicks.

Really though, I'm up for any genre, whether it's mainstream or obscure, all the movie has to do is not bore me.

You've already seen enough. I don't think you need to bother with any more to be honest. Superman 3 maybe. Or Maybe Uncle Buck. Yeah definitely Uncle Buck.

You need to watch Johnny To's "The Mission", "Fulltime Killer", and "Running out of Time"... Ringo Lam's "full Contact" and "City on Fire"... and John Woo's "The Killer", "A Better Tomorrow", and "Hard Boiled". I like some other action films but those are all ESSENTIAL.

demonrail OWNS

there's a couple action flicks which are worth their rep anyway, fuck this senseless elitism...

that said, go for directors: GEORGE A. ROMERO and JOHN CARPENTER should be in that list above (cool stuff otherwise atsonicpark)...

PRINCE OF DARKNESS, THEY LIVE, THE THING from JC, and the DEAD movies by GAR... must see flicks.

Yeah, I forgot Carpenter. For some reason I always do. Most of his movies are amazing.

But I gotta agree with derek. Watch every Takeshi Kitano film and you should be good.

If you just skim over the "Last Movie You Watched" thread you'll find tons of suggestions, and probobly many of the same films people are listing or will list here.
