Seen it. Loved it.
I should say something like Adaptation, Raising Arizona, or O Brother Where Art Thou.
But I'm going to say Repo Man.

My list always Alternates:
In no particular order
Chungking express
Princess Mononoke
Oldboy
Clockwork orange
Seven samurai
Admitedy, my list is a little heavy on the Asian cinema side, but eh. Anything similar to akira Kurosawa and Wong kar wai, will be greatly appreciated. The people that recommend any movies will be placed on my # 2 favorite GAFers of all time. (There's a lot of room at that spot)

Love me some neo noir, here's some recommendations in no particular order:
Brick (directed by Rian Johnson who did Looper, I think this is far superior, great movie with old school noir vernacular with Joseph Gordon Levitt pre buffed up actioney JGL)
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (probably my favorite RDJ movie next to Scanner Darkly, Val Kilmer absolutely slays in this role too, their chemistry is great)
The Man Who Wasn't There (beautifully shot black and white noir from the Coen Bros with Billy Bob Thornton and James Gandolfini, great atmosphere and pacing in this one)
That should get you started
Thanks man. Definitely gonna watch these movies this weekend.

This was fantastic. I'd had Kalatozov's Soy Cuba on my list for a long time but hadn't heard as much about this one. if this is his not-as-notable film, can't wait to see what Cranes are Flying and Soy Cuba have in store

How to Train your Dragon 2 was pretty good! The animation is even more stunning than the first. Ever seen the other Matrix movies? They're pretty good as well.
After Hours (Scorsese) and Naked (Leigh) since you mentioned Taxi Driver and Eyes Wide Shut. And may be Crimson Gold (Panahi)?

I've seen After Hours, but not the other two. Naked seems interesting, I'll check it out. Doesn't seem to be on Hulu Plus Criterion collection though :/
