The list would be too long, so I'll limit myself to a few films that are somewhat obscure and you fine people of raddle might find interesting.

  • Sedmikrasky (1966)
  • Mysteries of the Organism (1971)
  • Taxidermia (2006)
  • Songs from the Second Floor (2000)

I love the anime Paprika too, and everything else I've seen by Satoshi Kon really. May he rest in peace.

I was surprised at how good edge of tomorrow was. American Made by the same director and Tom Cruise is also pretty entertaining. It reminded me of a mix between Blow and Lord of War.

The best "army propaganda" movie ever is still Starship Troopers :)

LOTR--I was inspired to read the first book after seeing the first movie, because Legolas was hot and I wanted to read more about him, so I picked up the books. Only to wind up falling head over heals in love with Samwise, who is easily the best character in the series.

I adore the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but if forced to choose which ones, I'd pick the Captain America trilogy, the two Avengers films, and the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.

I also love Heavenly Creatures and I've been trying to win converts to that film. It's the movie that convinced the studios that Peter Jackson would be a good pick for directing the LOTR trilogy. It's also Kate Winslet's first starring role and even at sixteen, you knew she was going to be big. The way she plays Juliet Hulme, how she manages to layer in dark undertones even as her character is the cheery, stiff upper-lip upper class girl, it's just masterful. It is somewhat disappointing that her co-star, Melanie Lynsky, hasn't rocketed to A-list fame the way she has. Her character, Pauline Parker, is less the cheery type, more into depressive glowers, but somehow she manages to convey so many different emotions with some of the same mannerisms.

Fateful Findings, the Neil Breen movie. I keep showing it to people who've never seen it before. I'm on my 5th viewing at the time of writing.

Grave of the Fireflies

On my list too. Most people find that film so depressing they say they won't watch it again. But I find it hopeful, that the film itself can inspire to not create more war.
