Not to mention Carla Gucinno in the buff *growl*

Amores Perros, and 21 grams, and maybe Babel. Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu makes Tarantino look like a dumbass. puts him to shame. ABSOLUTE SHAME!

I've only seen 21 Grams. I own it. It's not as good as Tarantino's work still, but it's good.

I agree with all of the one's Gimme mentioned, with the exception of Josey Wales. It's one of my favourite westerns, but I wouldn't say it's a must see before you die. There are better westerns out there.

I have one for you. This movie honestly is the most disturbing piece of work ever made, yet it's a classic. Also, if you want to see if, you have to download/buy a bootleg of it from ebay, because it goes for a couple thousand dollars normally.
Salo by Poalo Pasolini
It's the adaptation by one of the most haunting books ever written by Marquis de Sade. This movie isn't going to make you laugh or feel good at the end, it's going to make you hurt inside. It's a story where four rich fascists buy nine teenagers and essentially lock them in a room for 120 days and do what they want with them. At first, it starts easily with verbal assault and things of the sort. Then, it gets more depraved, with physical abuse of the children and, soon, making them eat shit, and I'm not joking. These fascists would just occasionally go into the room, and rape the children and....you just have to watch the movie.
Now, you might ask, why the fuck would I ever recommend such a movie? Well, for film in 1970s, this movie was rather important. de Sade wrote this work on his views on what fascism did to Italy, where the fascists would essentially ruin the lives of the innocent, less fortunate people during the second World War. The only problem is, the medium de Sade used to drive his views on fascism involved children, and because it does, it is quite powerful.
After directing the movie, Pasolini had the film stolen by the Italian government and was shot down by three Italians directly afterwards. The Criterion Collection got a hold of this film, and it finally saw release in America, but only for a short time. It was pulled off the shelves and only 10,000 copies of the movie supposedly exist. Therefore, this movie is awful hard to find, but if you see it, you're one of the few lucky ones.
That being said, this movie is not for the faint of heart. You need to prepare yourself for it.

yeah, it's ok, but no where near as good as amores perros. classic man, freakin classic.
also the deer hunter. fucking a man.

The Deer Hunter is an extremely good movie, with the exception of the first 45 mins to an hour. All of that wedding footage of people dancing and stuff wouldn't cut it anymore. Which is a good thing though, most of that material doesn't advance the story at all, but once everything gets going, it's one really amazing movie.

Everyone should see Talladega Nights.

I liked Talledega Nights, but it's nowhere near the comedic level of other films, including Will Ferrell's own Anchorman. Which like Talledega Nights, was written by Will Ferrell and Adam Mckay.
One movie, absolutely everyone should look out for, because the plot is very original and inventive which a lot of CMers seem to really like, is the new Will Ferrell movie Stranger Than Fiction. I've known about this movie for yeaaaars and I'm glad it's going to be released soon.

I just picked it because I didnt want to say something obvious,
Everyone knows about The Good The Bad And The Ugly, or Unforgiven
So I figured I’d go with something more obscure in Outlaw Josey Whales which is movie a lot more people would not know about in comparison to the other two

I disagree. Ricky Bobby was funnier than Ron Burgundy.

Where the Buffalo Roam - because Hunter Thompson was a twisted individual with moments of amazing clarity of expression
I concur with the Salton Sea. That was an excellent film.

They're obvious to people who know a lot of movies, but even people who think they're big movie fans don't go back to watch a lot of older movies, especially westerns. Not that Unforgiven is all that old, but there's a good chance even though both of those movies are much better known than some of Eastwood's other westerns, that most people on this board haven't seen any of the 3.
