Bumping, I need inspiration...
In case anyone else likes the sort of films on this thread, I'd recommend Hidden, The Squid and the Whale, and Little Miss Sunshine

MariNativityPlay · 06/01/2007 20:21

The Red Squirrel and The Vanishing for superior continental chills
Metropolitan and The Last Days of Disco
Goodbye Lenin and The Nasty Girl are two of my favourite German films
Claude Chabrol's Le Boucher
Mystic River
The Last Seduction
Six Degrees of Separation
The Page-Turner
Waiting for Guffman
Zoolander (I know, but it is laugh-out-loud stupid fun)
I think dear Pruni means Close My Eyes
Definitely The Squid and The Whale
Election
Walk the Line
Steve Martin's The Jerk and The Man with Two Brains
I liked Mulholland Drive, but most people didn't I think
VintageTreats
Intermezzo
Sunset Boulevard
All About Eve
Black Narcissus

Another vote here for Mulholland Drive.

The Life of David Gale is also excellent... very tense and thought provoking.
