what a ridiculous thread.
research these, the ones I've listed first are the best films I've ever ever seen, I'll give a few brief summaries lol

1.) Kids - New York teenagers / 1990s/ skateboarders/ sex/ aids/ drugs etccc directed by larry clarke aka genius
2.) Control - about Ian Curtis, ie Joy Division singer
3.) Party Monster - 1990s (i think) NYC club kids, drugs etc etc with macaulay culkin in it
4.) The Virgin Suicides - can't really summarise
5.) Hideous Kinky - good film about a hippieish woman who's bored of her life so moves to marrakech with her two children. set in like the 70s.

I love the general stigma in film, music and literature these days that says Depressing = Good.

On another note, here are some films I suggest.

Inside Man
The Prestige
Don't be a Menace (to South Central whilst drinking your juice in the hood)
Versus
Uncle Buck
21
Anchorman (the Legend of Ron Burgundy :biggrin:

)
The Goonies
The Mummy
The Bourne Identity/Supremacy/Ultimatum
No Country For Old Men
Untouchables

If you like Shaun of the Dead then you should watch Hot Fuzz. Some other good English films off the top of my head:

Anything by Shane Meadows (This is England, Dead Man's Shoes etc.)
Children of Men
Dog Soldiers
28 Days Later
One Day Removals (quirky Scotish comedy)
Snatch

Other films that spring to mind:

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Alien quadrology
Terminator 1 + 2
Scarface
Anything by Stanley Kubrick
The Pianist
Enemies of the State

Seen children of men, dog soldiers, 28 days later, this is England and snatch, all pretty good..

Dunno if its been mentioned or not, dont really want to have to scroll through the 5 pages to find out but here's a few suggestions:

Gattaca
Vanilla Sky
Twelve Monkeys
Devil's Advocate (GREAT film)
Wall Street (You can watch it just in time for its upcoming prequel this year :biggrin:

)
Constantine (another great reeves film)
Seven Pounds (I've never cried to a film, apart from this one...it has a slow start but it all builds up to the climactic finish which just hits you like a wave)
Pursuit of Happiness (Not quite as powerful as seven pounds, but still a pretty damn emotional film)
Lucky Number Slevin
Brazil

Gattaca - Seen it, awesome, somehow feel like it has a lot of truth to it
Vanilla Sky - Seen it pretty good
Twelve Monkeys - Seen it pretty good
Devil's Advocate -seems good, getting it
Wall Street - getting it
Constantine - bad reviews?
Seven Pounds - seen it, yeah it was pretty good!
Pursuit of Happiness - have it but havn't seen it, isn't it a bit boring?
Lucky Number Slevin - Seen it, good!
Brazil - too old! :p:

The Bourne trilogy is fantastic, and seems like the kind of thing that would fit in with your taste. I'd also recommend Alien and Aliens as well as The Princess Bride as some of my personal favourite films. Lots of good suggestions in this topic, I need to see a load of these too.

Ooops

By ruling out foreign films and most before the 1990's your missing out on quite alot of great films, City of God has been mentioned quite alot and I forgot it originally but its amazing, and if your going on reviews then its number 17 on imdb.
