Chinatown is ****ing amazing. A few others: - City of Lost Children (French film, Ron Perlman, kinda like a Tim Burton film) - City of God (Brazilian film, most excellent, kinda like a Tarantino film) - Night of the Lepus (terrible horror film, 100% pure awesome) - Dirty Pretty Things (very very interesting story... don't want to give it away) - Adaptation (Nicholas Cage is pretty amazing in this) - Punch Drunk Love (I love me some PT Anderson, also see Magnolia if you haven't already) - Any Bogart or Grant film (North by Northwest, Vertigo, Casablanca, Maltese Falcon, The African Queen, The Big Sleep, Notorious, etc). - 12 Angry Men (absolutely fascinating character study) I could keep going on and on. I watch way too many movies. If you're into classic films, I can recommend a lot of them. I went through Netflix and ravaged their classics section several years back. A few newer films that are very good: - History of Violence - Eastern Promises - Michael Clayton (great line at the end but a pretty formulaic movie overall... still good though) |
Casablanca is a superb film. I'd also high highly recommend North By Northwest, Maltese Falcon, and the Big Sleep. I haven't saw The African Queen yet, and only a bit of Vertigo. If he's going to give some classics a try, I'd also recommend Sunset Boulevard and The Third Man. Both are amazing films.
Of the other films on your list that I have watched, Chinatown and Punch Drunk Love are both good movies(just not among my favorites). I really want to see Eastern Promises and City of God.
