Self explanatory thread, if you know of a good flick, or just recently watched something that blew your mind, then why not share it.
Feel free to make top5's and whatnot, but keep it moderately elaborative, don't just throw out the title and "it was good", but don't spoil it all either.
Preferably no anime series, full lenght movies are fine.
List of personal recommendations.
Trainspotting (1996)
Both hilarious and captivating movie about a group of Scottish heroin junkies, who are trying to get clean, but end up in a big of a mess. Its a drama with a big and really good twist of humor and hilarious satire to it. I would watch this movie with anyone who has a decent sense of amusement, solely for the comedy aspect, but its a great movie other then that too. My top favorite of all times.
Pulp Fiction (1994)
If you haven't seen it yet, then you should be ashamed of yourself. Its right out one of the best movies ever made, both really funny and really interesting, a bit odd, but that just makes it better. I guess you could call it a comedy drama/action flick, as it did make me giggle on several occasions. I highly doubt that anyone who's actually seen it will disagree with that its a must watch, so I won't go into details on the plot itself. Do watch.
Previously "Enter the Void
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Undoubtedly one of the more satirically humorous movies, everything about it was great, constantly keeping a tempo and still being original and really funny. Oh and Johnny Depp, who doesn't like that guy. tl;dr drugs and violence but in a funny and not overly cliché sort of way. 10/10 would watch again.
V these two are moreso placeholders due to a case of memory loss at the moment, to be replaced later on I guess
To be continued.
With all of that said, post and recommend away. Best regards, boat.

Enter the Void (2009)
Really slow, alternative, but amazingly shot and processed movie. A masterpiece for the one with an odd taste, but a good drama for those who just want to watch something emotional. If you can bare with the somewhat slow and dragged out CGI and really long scenes, then give it a shot. Its an amazing movie. Story is about this one guy who got interested in death and the theory about re-incarnation from this one book he got from a friend, goes out to sell DMT to another guy, gets shot and experiences said theory. Well, I think at least.
I liked it. A lot of my friends liked it. You most likely will too.

Requiem for a Dream (2000) (I watched the directors cut)
Grungy and odd, somewhat alternative movie about various drugs and illegal ways to obtain money, and also what an addiction can do to you. The very ending was less then I wanted it to be, but that doesn't make it less watchworthy. How its cut is the main reason to watch it, as in, its fucking great. Story was not so much, but the visuals were amazing. If you like drama flicks about drugs, then do watch.
I wasn't quite sure of what to add as a fifth, as I got a whole load more to suggest, but temporarily or not, I'll add
Snatch (2000)
An action/thriller with a bit of satiric humor to it. The movie is fast and really elaborative story wise, and I doubt that anyone who doesn't like action movies wont like it. I think elaborating on the plot too much would spoil it completely, but once again, anyone who has seen it, who likes the genre, wont disagree with that its one of the better in its genre.
