Recommend A Good Movie Thread

[5hift]

We had a thread like this before, but it turned into recommendations for weird sci fi movies no one has ever heard of or wants to see, or a competition of whos seen brand new movies only viewable via torrent rips first.

I'm looking for recommendations for good movies, the kind you can watch over and over, but can also find at any corner video store. Nothing older than the Terminator/Scarface days but no new releases either. Also mainstream movies only, no weird anime or low budget types.

I want to go hit up the video store, any suggestions would be appricaited.

Here is my contribution off the top of my head:


Reservoir Dogs
Trainspotting
Heat
Requiem For A Dream
Good Will Hunting
Pulp Fiction
Unforgiven
Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrells
American History X
Gladiator
Fight Club
Saving Private Ryan
T2

I'd say any early Eddie Murphy movies, my favorite would be Coming to America
