Haven't seen Dark City either.

Personally, I think Tenenbaums was his best work. The characters in that movie were absolutely hilarious. My second choice would be Life Aquatic. Rushmore annoyed me at points, though I still enjoyed it. Bottle Rocket was quite good, too.

I still need to watch Darjeeling one of these days. 

alright, one of my favourite films of all time is one that I'm oft reluctant to recommend to other people, but so far you seem to have some great taste in movies ben, so here goes.

Last Night. It's a film about the end of the world. But instead of some overwrought action adventure, it's a drama about how a handful of people decide to spend their last night on earth, having known for months that this was coming.

I just think it's such an interesting look at such a situation. It might be hard to find, being a Canadian film and all, but if you could track down a copy of Nothing, I'm sure you could find it too.

Ah, yes. Last Night. Very interesting film. Very intelligent.

Some people will hate, I found it fascinating and it was a really interesting take on the idea. I particularly liked the fact that they never gave one mention as to why the world was ending, they just accepted that it was so. More films should adopt this strategy to storytelling. If how the world is ending in your film is irrelevant to the story, don't tell the audience and convolute things. Children of Men also did this with the childbirth problem and I thought it worked wonderfully.

Damnit, I just agreed with a Canadian again. Gotta stop doing that.

*smacks self in face*

A couple more Mel Brooks movies: Blazing Saddles and Robin Hood: Men in Tights. I would also recommend the Bourne movies.

The King of Kong actually has a higher metacritic score than Peter Jackson's "King Kong" remake.

I agree that BenKenobi88 listed many good movies. Quality mainstream movies.

Here's my favorite movies that haven't been listed in the thread, xcept a couple:

M Shalamayan's movies
Apocalypto.
München
K-PAX
The butterfly effect
A.I.
Contact
Leon
The Others
1492: the quest for paradise
Willow
A beautiful mind
Kingdom of Heaven

EDIT: Braveheart hasn't been mentioned yet?

Mainstream movies are what came to my mind first, and they are good movies in my opinion. People tend to give independents much more credit than a mainstream movie, simply because of their lower budget. They tend to forget that a lot of expensive and popular movies are popular for a reason.

Is the road warrior and the mad max series in general, good movies?

I remember this thread!
