Oh yeah. Awesome, awesome movie. There are so many levels of unease to that movie you never feel comfortable or confident about what is happening or where it's going to go.

The Wannabe is an excellent true story about a young man who is obsessed with the mafia. He ends up robbing illegal poker games in an attempt to impress his imprisoned idol- John Gotti. The movie is executive produced by Martin Scorsese, and is definitely an indie rock feature worth checking out.
Inland Empire would be one of my top 5 movies of all time. What a twisted freaky adventure!
I think of this movie when 'The Locomotion' comes on the Oldies station.
Another good one - At Close Range with Christopher Walken and Sean Penn. It's based on the true story of the Johnson Gang (a father, his two sons and others) and their crimes. Walken is really scary in this one. Love him.
I seem to remember a Madonna song/video from that movie at the time, I'm putting the film on my list now.
Yes, the song Live To Tell is in the movie, and fits it really well. I think she wrote it specifically for this movie.

Not exactly a movie, but I just saw this on YouTube - it's a good collection of

These were really good, although I think they should have included Dirty Harry's statement "Go ahead, make my day". Classic!
Excellent movie. Sean Penn and Christopher Walken are awesome in it.
I've seen this one. Yes, it is disturbing and hard to watch. A lot like the original Last House On The Left in that regard.
Another excellent film that Robert Mitchum was in from the 70's is The Friends of Eddie Coyle. Excellent crime-noir film set in Boston. Peter Boyle and Alex Rocco are in it as well. Also, the guy that played James Garner's detective buddy in The Rockford Files is in it too.
Another "true story" movie I liked was 127 Hours starring James Franco. I was worried about a movie with one character carrying virtually the whole movie alone, but I really found it inspirational. Skip it if you don't like Franco though, he is basically the whole movie.
Don't know that I'd call it "the best" but I like it; Swashbuckler. Stars Robert Shaw, James Earl Jones, Genvieve Bujold, Peter Boyle... tanked at the box office and the critics hated it but it's great fun. Just a non-apologetic pirate movie. 
Sweet Dreams starring Jessica Lange (as Patsy Cline) and Ed Harris. Jessica Lange doesn't just act, she becomes Patsy. Great movie

I did like that one, but I don't mind James Franco - he was pretty good in 11/22/63 as well
