	The Manchurian Candidate (1962)
The first time I watched TMC, I was like, "Whoa. Frank Sinatra!" but the blue-eyed crooner does an admirable job in this genre-defining masterpiece.
	Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)
Well, each director only gets one, and Sellers + Kubrick = gold.
	The Graduate (1967)
Iconoclastic, stylish, and prescient (one word: plastics), Mike Nichols' classic sets the standard for coming-of-age movies.
	M*A*S*H (1970)
It was a toss-up between MASH and Nashville, if you love the ensemble mayhem of Robert Altman, you can't go wrong with either (or Short Cuts).
	Network (1976)
It might seem dated in a few years, but the legacy of Howard Beale will never die.
	Barton Fink (1991)
Reality and imagination collide in this remarkable tale of writer's block.
	Man Bites Dog (Criterion Collection) (1991)			Not Rated
Aside from Reservoir Dogs (re: ear scene), this serial-killer mockumentary is the only other movie I remember where people walked out of theater midway. Hilarious, thoughtful, and graphically disturbing.
	Reservoir Dogs (Widescreen) (1992)
With a style all its own, this violent crime caper twists chronology and psychology to their breaking points. It set the (high) standard for all of QT's work.
	Dead Man (1995)
We are all dying, but none quite as clearly as Johnny Depp as William Blake. An awesome and amusing death ride. The greatest Western ever made.
	In the Company of Men (1997)
No one feeds off misogyny and misanthropy more than Neil LaBute, and never better than in this enthralling portrait of a psychopath.
	In the Mood for Love (Criterion Collection) (2000)
As long as Wong-Kar Wai is around, romance will never die.
	Amores Perros (2000)
Love's a bitch, and then you get caught in the middle of an illegal dog-fighting ring and everything goes to hell. Think Pulp Fiction, but better.
