Here are some other films I found to be excellent, interesting and intriguing (or occasionally just shocking). Obviously not a comprehensive list… 
- The 6th Day – cloning, interesting reflections on identity.
- 28 Days Later – 2nd best “zombie” film
- American Pie movies –
- Avatar – good propaganda against industrialism, capitalism, and cultural imperialism.
- Battle Royal – good Japanese idea.
- Белое солнце пустыни (White Sun of the Desert) – a classic Russian film
- Берегись автомобиля (Beware of the Car) – excellent Soviet crime comedy
- The Big Lebowski – I love White Russians. The alcoholic kind, anyway.
- The Brothers Bloom -
- Cannibal Holocaust – not really, it’s quite disgusting actually.
- Cliffhanger – Bad guy: “Do you know what real love is, Kristel?; Kristel / his gf: “No”; Bad guy *whispers* “Sacrifice…” *shoots her* Lol.
- Cube – one of my favorite sci-fi horror movies
- The Day after Tomorrow – unrealistic and the human story is boring and cliché, but good CGI-enhanced doomer flicks are hard to come by.
- Die Another Day – I love the bad guy; he is a postmodernist hero.
- Dr. Strangelove – ode to the nuclear bomb.
- Fahrenheit 9/11 – best political comedy.

- Léon -
- The Life of Brian – excellent anti-religious comedy.
- The Lord of the Rings -
- Lord of War – the cynicism of the arms trade…but good profits.

- Ночной дозор (Night Watch) -
- Office Space – work sucks.
- Операция “Ы” и другие приключения Шурика (The Adventures of Shurik) – one the best Soviet comedies.

- Сталкер (Stalker) – Soviet existentialism and intellectual nihilism at its finest.
- Slumdog Millionaire – another hopeful film.
- Taxi Driver -
- Terminator 2: Judgment Day – I’d like to have a Terminator as a slave.
- Threads – great film about nuclear war, and best of all it’s available online (legally that is).
- Total Recall – the Gubernator on Mars, interesting reflections on memory.
- Under Siege 2: Best quote evar: Assumption is the mother of all fuck up’s!
- Wanted – interesting reflections on causality and the moral status of “the ends justify the means”.
- The World is Not Enough – another great Bond film.
you admire very little or none of what women create or their vision–your futur predictions would have no room for me.
i am very much proud to see slumdog millionaire because this film is from country (INDIA)….
I actually thought “Cannibal Holocaust” (it’s by Ruggero Deodato) was in its own over-done way a clever satire on media sensationalism and Western stereotypes about the behaviour of so-called primitive savages. After all, it wasn’t the Amazon Indians who behaved “badly”, though they did have their gruesome punishments and rituals – it was the film-makers in the movie who behaved badly. The film is famous as the inspiration for “The Blair Witch Project”.
I’ve seen some very interesting Soviet films on Youtube and if anyone else wants to see what I’ve seen so far, here is the list (not all of these are in Russian):
Vladimir Chebotaryov and Gennady Kazansky, “Amphibian Man”*
Alexander Dovzhenko, “Aerograd” (no English subtitles though)
Alexander Dovzhenko, “Arsenal”
Sergei Eisenstein, “Alexander Nevsky”
Fyodor Khitruk, “Vinnie Pukh” / “Vinnie Pukh idyot v gosti” / “Vinnie Pukh i den’ zabot”
Mikhail Karyukhov and Alexander Kozyr, “The Sky Calls” aka “Call of the Heavens” (Russian name is Nebo Zovyot)*
Pavel Klyushantsev, “The Planet of Storms” / “Planeta Bur’ “*
Georgy Kropachyov and Konstantin Yershov, “Viy” (1968 horror film based on Nikolai Gogol’s short story)
Konstantin Lopushansky, “Dead Man’s Letters” (a poor man’s “Stalker” – Lopushansky assisted Tarkovsky on that film)*
Risto Orko and Alexander Ptushko, “The Sampo”
Sergei Parajanov, “The Color of Pomegranates” aka “Sayat Nova”
Sergei Parajanov, “The Legend of Suram Fortress”
Sergei Parajanov and David Abashidze, “Ashik Kerib”
Marek Pestrak, “Pilot Pirx’s Inquest” (Polish-Estonian production)*
Yakov Protazanov, “Aelita, Queen of Mars” (1924 silent film)*
Yevgeny Sherstobitov, “The Andromeda Nebula”*
Dziga Vertov, “Man with a Movie Camera” (1929 silent film)
Vasily Zhuravlov, “The Space Voyage”*
The cartoons by Khitruk are a Winnie-the-Pooh trilogy based on the original A A Milne stories and all three cartoons are much, much better than the Disneyfied version of Winnie of Pooh.
The asterisked films are science fiction films and with the exception of “Amphibian Man” and “Dead Man’s Letters”, all are space travel flicks of a mostly pro-Soviet bent. The set designs on some of these films can be quite astounding for their time (most of them were made in the 1960s). I do recommend seeing some of these films even though the plots and acting look clumsy because they give an insight into Soviet attitudes about space travel and they emphasise co-operation and the advancement of scientific knowledge rather than competition and blasting aliens which seem to be the lot of most Hollywood sci-fi space operas.
There are quite a few Dovzhenko films on Youtube but not all of them have English subtitles.
