Excellent!!! I knew you had good taste. This confirms it. :)

Alongside Delicatessen, in the same vein, I would recommend Peter Greenaway films. The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover is the best of his films I think. Make sure you get the unedited version though. Drowning by Numbers (again by Greenaway) is another one of his more accessible films.

We had a discussion on here for movies before, I remember because I got some props for throwing in Eraserhead, but I think spacehead33 was talking about the whole 60's music and hip society type of thing. There are some great suggestions entered and I'm not for narrowing the field but Eraserhead and the Festival Express are not very related except maybe the state of mind you get into to watch them.
By the way 'Slingblade' is one of my favorites, but probably not what the author was looking for.

Where HST showed an almost glorified drug use (at times), Requiem shows drugs at their very very worst. One of the few movies I've seen in the last few years that really affected me. When I was done watching Requiem for Dream, I felt like I got kicked in the gut.

requiem is one of the most painful disturbing films i have ever seen, it was like the worlds worst acid trip while sober. chilling stuff with a message i've seen a millon times on here STAY AWAY FROM THE WHITE STUFF

Someone mentioned Pulp Fiction. Id have to say thats probably my favorite movie aside from National Lampoon's Vacation. Blow was great too. And of course the Big Lebowski.

"Your out of your element Donnie"

Uh.... The Grateful Dead movie is good...



I'm suprised I have not seen a mention for "Where the Buffalo Roam" Great flick

The Good the Bad and The Ugly is way up on my list. The score (by Ennio Morricone) is incredible.

Everyone thinks that but I think its his second best. Hang Em High being the all time best.

No way. The Outlaw Josey Wales is the best Eastwood western. Fistful of Dollars is my favourite of the spaghetti, man-with-no-name westerns.

But the best western is The Wild Bunch. Treasure of the Sierra Madre is another classic western I just recently saw. I've been in a big western kick lately.

I pretty much hate movies, but, if these are on I will stop and watch:

Shawshank Redemption
The outlaw josie wales
Patton
This is Spinal Tap
Dazed and Confused

and, of course, when the Boulder theater plays The big lebowski, I am there.

Unforgiven.

Jacob's Ladder was some good dark druggy stuff.
