Ran (1985) - An epic film that should be viewed by all

Others:

Amelie - a great chick flick
Thank you for Smoking - 2nd this one, funny, a great rental
Basketball Diaries - not sure if it was popular or not, but a great movie that doesn't get alot of love
Lifeforce - space horror / thriller, look it up, it's def. worth a view (directed by Tobe Hooper)

No Reservations - this is somewhat depressing drama with Catherine Zeta Jones, Aaron Eckhart, and Abigail Bresslin. It is kind of depressing and there are some real tear jerking moments, but it does end on a happy high note.

I second TYFS. I haven't seen No Resverations yet.

Also Aaron Eckhart is great in Conversations With Other Women. It might very well be the best romance movie no one's seen.
