Two movies I've recently seen that I think are nearly flawless, amazing movies:

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) - intense horror, great acting, very disturbing (it was recommended by someone else in this thread too)

A History of Violence (2005) - Drama/Action Mafia-type movie, but nothing like the other mob classics like the Godfather, Goodfellas, etc., but still very well done

I consider it my obligation to recommend David Lynch's Eraserhead, even though it's a weird movie.

I haven't seen Amores Perros, but 21 Grams by the same director is great.

It's weird in a good way.

One of the greats, and incredibly funny.

^ agreed. I already know most movies with Al Pacino - Scarface was one of the few exceptions.

I just remembered "Blair Witch Project" again, one of the few movies that made Friede and me sit speechless in our chairs at the cinema for some time while all around us people streamed out of it. that does not happen very often, so that movie definitely hit a nerve with us

A few weeks ago I watched Kill Bill 1 ... also for the first time. It's really, really excellent ... and immediately afterwards I thought "what a shame that I will never again have the pleasure to watch this movie for the first time".

A true masterpiece, excelled only by the second part (which I haven't seen yet, but I trust imdb.com in that regard Wink

imdb.com can usually be trusted, though some of my favorite movies don't get the acclaim they deserve in my opinion. and some excellent little movies, like "De Wisselwachter" ("The Pointsman"), hardly get any comments at all. but that's probably their fate
