Good list so far, except that it's missing
45 - Tetsuo (The Iron Man) Brilliant Japanese film, intense and strange af. The definitive people slowly turning into machines flick, full of allegory and style. 46 - Audition Another Japanese film, for me this is Miike's masterpiece. A lot is made of the violent last 15 minutes, but the rest of the film is where most of the cleverness is, with changes in directorial style and cinematography reflecting changes in the main character's psyche as he is blinded by his obsession. |

47. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Jim Carrey plays one of few serious roles in his career as a man trying to lose his memory of his lover through a recent scientific breakthrough, while he desperately tries to hold on to them. It's damn heartbreaking. 48. The Truman Show In another more serious role, Jim Carrey plays a man who leads his own reality show, though thinks he's living life as a normal citizen. He's lived his entire life in a closed environment with actors portraying his fabricated world and they track his every move.

49.
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest Jack Nicholson plays a mental patient who is tired of the treatment of him and his fellow inmates so he decides to find ways to escape. One of my favs. 50. Godzilla vs. Hedorah I don't care what anyone says this will always be my favorite monster movie. The cheesy 70's Japanese psych undercurrent that weirdly runs throughout the movie, the allusion to environmental issues, etc. This movie perfectly encapsulates everything I love about Godzilla movies and other monster movies, it's cheesy, stupid, and **** as ****. 51. The Royal Tenenbaums It's basically Wes Anderson's magnum opus, need I say more? |

Rounders starring Matt Damon - Mike, Ed Norton - Worm, Gretchen Mol - Jo, Martin Landau - Petrovsky, and John Malkovich - KGB. Worm is released from prison, gets his friend Mike to renege on his promisse made to his girlfriend Jo to stop gambling. Worm is a weasel and hustler who cheats. However he needs Mike's help, and has the knack of getting themselves into trouble too, except for the time he saved Mike from going jail. Mike indebted to Worm for that gets a loan from his professor, Petrovsky, and faces the card shark KGB to resolves Worm's debt and to pay off other obligations.

This thread is already golden. Great recommendations from everybody.
Ghost In The Shell Beautiful and unique animation style, smart script that skillfully weaves themes from science fiction, philosophy, politics, and crime, memorable characters that you can follow into the rest of the massive series, and an interesting soundtrack to boot. I usually recommend the English dub over the original version after having watched both multiple times, it's quite well done and doesn't detract from the impact of the movie in my opinion.

55. Goodfellas
Essential mobster crime drama right up alongside the rest of the giants in the genre. Hugely ambitious, extremely memorable, and massively entertaining throughout its 2.5 hour run time. Absolute classic Scorsese. 56. The Last Waltz Among the greatest live music documentaries ever made. Scorsese documents The Band's legendary 1976 farewell concert where an incredible lineup of legendary musicians joined them on stage for some remarkable collaborative performances. Features Muddy Waters, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Emmylou Harris, Dr. John, Joni Mitchell, Neil Diamond, Paul Butterfield, The Staple Singers, and more.
