I recommend falling down Trust me any film that a G-man look alike going on a rampage is amazing . Also it has a Nazi surplus store owner who is hilarious
I just recently watched The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and thought that it was a pretty good movie. If I had to rate it using Giant Bomb's rating system I'd give it a 4 out of 5 stars.
Anything by Guy Ritchie. But if anything by him I recommenced Revolver. Other movies : Land of the Blind, Children of Men, Equilibrium, In Bruges, The Fountain (a little depressing, but the storyline is fantastic if you can piece it together), The Fall (something different, at first I was not impressed, but it grew on me and now I absolutely love it, it's very artistic)

Damn I love Equilibrium, it's one of my favorite movies, Christian Bale is brilliant in it and the plot feels unique
My two big ones are 'Interstate 60' and 'Dark City'.
Interstate 60 is one of the best comedies ever: it's not saturated with dumb poop jokes or anything, and (personally) I was smiling throughout the entire movie. It's about a guy who gets his wish granted by a... wish-granter. Watch it; you will NOT regret it.
Dark City is a film noire story, which is hard to explain. It's directed by Alex Proyas of 'The Crow' fame (which I haven't seen but I hear is very good). Instead of any detailed explanations as to what the movie is, I will rather include a clip of it set to Duran Duran's Falling down (an excellent song).
This movie made me think more than any other movie I have seen in my entire life.
Profound, intelligent and moving. Also, some of the best acting I've seen in my entire life. It doesn't hurt that it has an amazing soundtrack (with Nessun Dorma!) either. I wish I could make everyone in the world see this movie.
Just saw Oldboy. Pretty good, but strangely nasty when I thought about. Only Korean movie I have ever seen. Now I am going to Old School Nick's "Goodburger" Welcome to Goodburger, home of the Goodburger.

I just read about this in IMDB, sounds really interesting, I'll check it out.
" Uncharted 2? My girlfriend here thought it was a movie for a while... "
You sir, win.
Anyhow, Falling Down and They Live sound like great idea's. Personally I'd like to add some
Bladeunner:
You know what Bladerunner is about, no synopsis
Se7en:
Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman are cops! I could stop there, but possibly one of the best Cop Thrillerd of all time with a plot to turn heads. The killer kills 7 victims for each of the 7 sins they have committed
Revenge Of The Nerds:
This is probably the first high school comedy to get it right. Possibly the greatest aswell
Breakfast Club:
Can you capture the 80s in one film? If so it's probably The Breakfast Club is another High School film yet way more of a drama. Hella entertaining regardless
Beach:
Although I hate the living hell out of Leonardo De Cockface, this is a great thriller in unpredictable nature
Waking Life (2001) ~ Animated philosophy with some of the most engaging conversations between people you are ever likely to hear in a movie.

Shinobi: Heart Under Blade (2005) ~ Japanese "ninja" movie set in feudal Japan. One part Romeo & Juliet, one part kickass action movie. (note: available on DVD now)
