And I also highly recommend every short & long movie by Laurel & Hardy (I got 27 L&H DVDs and every single is worth it) as well as all of Chaplin's and Keaton's silent shorts.
And last but not least the Tom & Jerry cartoons from the 40s and 50s - the best cartoon series ever made is available on 12 DVDs.

@Rocket- Great choices on Harold & Maude, The City of Lost Children and Dirty Pretty things.
And Ben. Since you liked Cube (I should state right now that the people behind Cube had nothing to do with Cube 2 and 3), you'd probably really like another film he made called Nothing. It's kind of like the opposite of Cube.
Two losers, right at the peak of their losery, discover that the entire world outside of their house is gone. It's a pretty fun and out there comedy.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.
Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.
Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
Tora Tora Tora is an excellent film as is Jonny Dangerously

I didn't go through the thread at all, but I'm taking a class on Japanese film history right now, and I luckily got a really awesome professor who's hopping back and forth between mainstream films and crazy indie bullshit so we're really getting the whole picture. Today we watched most of Funeral Parade of Roses from 1969, which was a modern retelling of Oedipus Rex in Tokyo's gay underground scene, and it was a part of the Japanese New Wave movement. It was pretty awesome and hilarious. I highly recommend Woman of the Dunes or Zigeunerweisen as well. Woman of the Dunes is a 1964 film based on a 1962 novel about a man who gets trapped in some sand and forced into slavery with a strange woman. It gets really nuts and was awesome. Zigeunerweisen I can't even begin to explain. All I can say is it was really rad. It was early 80's I believe. It was all over the place.
Outside of that class, I gotta throw up the ultimate team of Jenet and Caro, the French duo who made Delicatessin and City of Lost Children, which are both insanely incredible.
And as always, I highly recommend Happiness of the Katakuris by Takashi Miike to anybody who will listen. It's a musical, and it has claymation, and zombies, and it's about a family really learning how to stick together. It's got EVERYTHING. You can't not love it.

Thanks stof....I'm going to go try and find that one.
Master and Commander: Far Side of the World for action.
Akira for anime.
Ace Ventura 2 for comedy.
I love all 3 of those films. Don't really like drama or horror too much so I don't have any favorites in those genres.
