- Apocalypse Now (good, drags a bit towards the end)
- Blade Runner
- Collateral (Tom Cruise right before he cracked, very good acting by him here)
- Children of Men (I particularly enjoyed this one)
- Out of Africa
- Taxi Driver
- Le Samouraļ (It's in French, but there's not much dialogue anyway)
- Easy Rider
- Wag the Dog
- George Washington
Crash I didn't really like. It tried to make its points a little too overtly, sacrificing things like plot in the process. I suppose you could say the same thing about a couple of the films I have on my list, though.
There is a place for movies that entertain and movies that make you think. The best ones do both equally well, and make it look easy. But speaking as someone who's tried it, film-making is indescribably frustrating.
