[the black pearl]

Double Indemnity, Europa Report, Touch of Evil, Into the Wild

 

[Minus_Me]

Amazing aesthetic.

 

[the black pearl]

The Wrestler

 

[Data West]

New Police Story. It's a little more dramatic, but it's pretty enjoyable. Obviously it can't compare to the greatest action movie ever made(Police Story), but it's well worth a watch.

The Warriors as well. One of the most stylish movies ever without seeming like it's going for it.

 

[Elwood Blues]

Blues Bros.

 

[DECK'ARD]

The Warriors as well. One of the most stylish movies ever without seeming like it's going for it.

That's a really good pick, love The Warriors.

I'd add Repo Man as well if we're in cult-film territory.

 

[MattyG]

Whiplash. It's the best movie of 2014.

Also, Short Term 12.

 

[nullref]

The Big Sleep (1946)
Tokyo Story (1953)
Rio Bravo (1959)
Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)

 

[obin_gam]

This one is really neat:

Skipping through time, Things to Come bears witness to world war, disease, dictatorship, and, finally, utopia.

 

[Protag]

Whiplash. It's the best movie of 2014.

Also, Short Term 12.

Yeah i LOVED whiplash, will be buying it.

 

[dekline]

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead

 

[Wag]

Hot Fuzz is a classic just for the way it embraces a lot of tropes you see in other movies and executes them so well. Really funny too.

Can't believe I forgot about Xavier Dolan. Good call.

 

[atr0cious]

City of god.

For real, I can't believe this isn't on that list. One of the best movies ever made, let alone in the 21st century.

I'll add Ang Lee's Hulk and Speed Racer, two true Rorschach tests regarding taste.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

I see Winter's Bone and Fish Tank mentioned. Two very good additions and omissions that I'm at fault for. Let me throw in Shame too.

The Man Who Would Be King
Farewell My Concubine
Battle of Algiers
