Snatch. I don't care if you think it's top-tier because of who's in it; no way did I expect that film to be the awesome flick it is. And Cail, I totally disagree with you about Mystery Men......

"PMS Avenger, i only work 4 days a month, is there a problem with that?"

The Sphinx: To learn my teachings, I must first teach you how to learn.
The Sphinx: You must lash out with every limb, like the octopus who plays the drums.
The Sphinx: He who questions training only trains himself at asking questions.
The Sphinx: You must be like wolf pack, not six-pack.
The Sphinx: When you can balance a tack hammer on your head, you will head off your foes with a balanced attack.
The Sphinx: When you care what is outside, what is inside cares for you.

Sneakers was great

And despite being directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Dennis Quaid, I would nominate InnerSpace. Not to mention The Great Escape, which almost didn't get made (one producer, after hearing the pitch for the movie, asked, "What's so great about an escape where only four people get away?").

I second InnerSpace (just mentioned it in the SNL thread).

actualy if I'm not mistaken, it wasn't directed by SS, only produced. I think it was Joe Dante.

Innerspace was great, as was Dreamscape and Brainstorm.

Keep 'em coming!

Oh dAN...There almost should be a special category for Brad Pitt films....Snatch was awesome.

Or two threads. One for movies from ~2000 and before. The other for the less than spectacular ones of the last several years.

I'd also like to add SLC Punk at the top of my list.

These films are getting rarer and rarer though. It seems that we're almost at a dichotomy between "quirky" indie films and wannabe blockbusters.

So we are including big name stars in little movies? If so, then I want to add 2 of my Big Little movies: "Groundhogs Day" and "Defending your Life", both of which really explore the meaning of life and love.

I don't get Albert Brooks...he was in Defending Your Life, right?

That was actually a decent movie.

So many good movies that I haven't seen in forever.

Hell yes it was, and it has more quotable lines in it since Monty Python's The Holy Grail.

May be a little to low for the list, and foreign, but the best movie I saw last year was a Czech film called Kontrol. Absolutely fantasic. Find it if you can.
