Eternal Sunshine of a spotless mind.
Lock Stock & 2 smoking barrels.
Snatch.
Kiss, Kiss, Bang Bang.
Blow.
Ocean's 11-13.
Baseketball.
Grandma's Boy.

[BlueFire]

Persepolis

[The Germanator]

Hmm...

An Unreasonable Man
Wet Hot American Summer
The Baxter
Blue Velvet
The Killing
Holiday
The Maltese Falcon
The Wrestler

Just some off the top of my head..

[Angrist]

I could name a few, but it's way easier for both of us to just go to my imdb page. http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=...verse_uservote
9s are must-sees, 8 are really recommendable if it seems like your genre. 7 is pretty good.

Have you seen Stardust? I enjoyed it thoroughly.

[Bube]

Lost in Translation

The Killing
The Maltese Falcon

I haven't seen An Unreasonable Man so can't say, but I hear its a good look at Nader.

Cary Grant is superb in so many films. Haven't seen Holiday(1938) but he's good in:
North By Northwest
Notorious
Arsenic and Old Lace
The Philadelphia Story
His Girl Friday
To Catch A Thief(I bought this not knowing anything bout it, was ok but not a Hitchcock best by any means)

I Haven't seen much of his 1930's films and am only thinking about seeing Gunga din, but I heard he acted horribly in it.

[Angrist]

I haven't seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, but here's 2 I recommend:

Outsourced.
Im Juli.

[Bond]

American History X.

[The Germanator]

Seth did probably pick the two best, though I definitely have the softest spot in my heart for Wet Hot American Summer. The humor might not be for everyone, but I think it's one of the funniest movies I've seen.

Primer

Possibly the smartest movie ever made.

[KillerGremlin]

I still can't believe you haven't seen Training Day....do that.
