Not sure if these qualify ... some were "hits" but maybe not everyone has seen or heard of them.
True Romance -- great Tarantino-inspired gangster/big score film featuring Christopher Walken, Dennis Hopper and Gary Oldman in some of the best performances of their careers. Killing Zoe -- cool bank robbery flick set in Paris. Julie Delpy gets naked. Diner -- an underrated classic. When We Were Kings -- documentary of the Rumble in the Jungle. Shows why Ali, in his prime, was possibly the coolest and baddest dude who ever lived. Run Lola Run -- German film featuring multiple realities, chase scenes, unique cinematic techniques, good music. Seven Samurai -- Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece, the inspiration for The Magnificant Seven. Samurai defending village, dying brilliantly. If you like this, check out Ran and also Throne of Blood. American History X -- Ed Norton is almost unrecognizable as a reformed nazi skinhead, a really powerful film, one scene in particular is disturbingly violent. Barfly -- Hardcore drunks in love. Mickey Rourke plays Charles Bukowski's alter ego, the poet/brawler Henry Chinaski: "Another drink for my friends!" Hedwig and the Angry Inch -- Great music, funny, bizzare, original. Das Boot ("The Boat") -- A German U-Boat crew going through hell ... you really feel the claustrophobia. Go -- ravers do drugs, have adventures, almost get killed, etc. Borrowing from Kurosawa and others, it tells a story from three different perspectives. Great sequence in Vegas.
