Just a quick list of my favorites:

1. The Last Waltz (My favorite Scorsese film, quite depressing how polarizing this was for members of The Band)

2. Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai (why watch lucas' and Tarentio's films, when you can watch the original material they stole it from)

In Fact, while on Kurosawa, pick up both 3. Rashomon and 4. The Hidden Fortress as well

5. David Mamet's Glengarry, Glenross (hey its a good substitue for the live action preformance)

6. Dario Argento's Phenomena (or any of Argento's horror flicks)

7. Where the Buffalo Roam (Bill Murray is the Best Hunter S. Thompson [you hear me Jonny!])
