American beauty , The human stain, momento , district nine, the first and only the first terminator, the green mile, pulp fiction, jurrasic park, the prestige, pan's labyrinth, oldboy , the war at home, clueless, hitch , shrek, the dark knight, inception, watchmen ... the list goes on

 

EDIT: I know many agree that the movie is a masterpiece and I did admit that the thread is kind of pointless lol

Wait a sec, so you loved American Beauty, yet failed to like Blade Runner? Ok.

The rest of you list is pretty coherent, though.  And the fact that you rate District Nine over Blade Runner speaks for itself.

American Beauty is a good movie; while both have artistic settings, American Beauty has the advantage of a well executed story, characters who the viewer will care about, MUCH better acting, and overall more interesting. Bladerunner comes off as being very pretentious all the way through; whereas American Beauty just comes off that way during the blowing bag scene.
