Repo man

May be the greatest movie ever made, with perhaps the best soundtrack ever.

Blue Velvet

Lynch's best as far as I'm concerned. Drags you into a dark alley and never let's you crawl away. So real you can smell it.

High Fidelity

Great movie based on a fabulous book. I have a ton of vinyl records and used to work at a record store. I can relate. I used to file my vinyl by drummer's last names. Using a singer or a lead guitarist's name would have been too obvious. Yup, music snob. I know more than you.

Hard Core Logo

Best band movie of all time. Great soundtrack, good acting, eerie parallels to my own life.

Gummo

Wow. Pretty hard to describe. Stupifyingly devoid of purpose, morals or plot. Impossible to not come away affected in some way if you can get through it, whether that be disgust, revulsion or the satisfaction knowing that this may be someone's life, but it ain't yours.

Trainspotting

Probably too brutally honest of a film for some folks (heroin, crib death, AIDS), but one of the best films of the 90s. Another great soundtrack.

Buckaroo Banzaii

I had to see it twice the first time I saw it (in the same night) to figure out what the hell was going on. Unreal casting. Too many sight gags to absorb in a single viewing.

Sid and Nancy

Vivid portrait of doomed junkie lovers Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen. Gary Oldman's best role.

Napolean Dynamite

Instant classic.

Kids

Yet another film about doomed adolescents in NYC. A stunning absence of hope.

nice choices scott! I'm returning to the states tomorrow after my stint in Ukraine. Wonderful experience, and I got to visit Belarus and Istanbul as well. Anyway I hear you are looking to the Bills/Tampa game in Sept and I was thinking of coming down. Let me know what the folks are doing and maybe we can pay off the grouper debt at Frenchy's! Tenny boy! I'd post but I think the fascist bastards who run the board would have a fit!
