A Beautiful Mind
Fight Club
Galaxy Quest
Twelve Monkeys
Shawshank Redemption
The Usual Suspects
True Romance
The Truman ShowFixed! Thanks for the hint!

Other than what everyone else has said (great taste in film, lemmings) I'll throw out...
In the Mouth of Madness. People tend to rank The Thing as his best movie, but the other two parts of the "Apocalypse Trilogy" are also excellent. Prince of Darkness has plenty to reccomend it, but I actually have watched IMM at least 10 times. The practical effects hold up well, and I feel like I catch new little details or acting quirks on each watch. Sam Neill and Julie Carmen are both really on their game and amazingly bring a lot of both subtlety and camp to the roles. The soundtrack is really banging too, if you're a fan of Carpenter's synth-rock.
And for something completely different, but still an "at least 10 views" favorite: Rian Johnson's Brick. You'll probably need at least 2 viewings just to catch all the dialogue, which is very fast and uses a weird made up slang. The main victim makes a phone call in the first act that basically reveals everything if you understand what she's saying, but it takes the whole movie for that to happen. It's just a fun, good mystery story too. Great sense of style, great (slightly off kilter) acting choices all around. Its one of those movies that's a little like poetry or a great album, just fun to watch and enjoy for itself.
God I love Brick. Watched it countless times growing up and don't see it talked about enough online.

I have not and I think that is called “The Lives of Others” in the states.
Is it similar to Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy?
They are both terrific movies bit quite different I'd say. TTSS is much more about the intrigue/double-crossing/spy stuff, whereas The Lives of Others is more of a character study.
As an aside, the BBC series of TTSS with Alec Guiness is still the best and any fan of the movie/book who hasn't seen it should remedy that ASAP.

"Perfect Blue" by Satoshi Kon. Watching it dubbed multiple times so I notice the visuals. Also the changes between the sub and dub can bring more understanding.

Excuse me, who are you?

The conversation with him and Maude Lebowski is also a great example of this:
Maude Lebowski: Do you like sex, Mr. Lebowski?
The Dude: 'Scuse me?
Maude Lebowski: Sex. The physical act of love. Coitus. Do you like it?
The Dude: I was talking about my rug.
Maude Lebowski: You're not interested in sex?
The Dude: You mean coitus?
Gets me every time
Also the self-correction of from "beaver" to "vagina."

Secretary.
Doubt ne if you want, that movie has serious layers and is brilliantly written.
That movie is so hot. And I've met plenty of young women in the BDSM community who use submission as a mechanism to cope with trauma and fear. Its a better BDSM story than 50 Shades of Grey, that's for zure.
