  with that wide spread varity i think youd like just about any movie

  Empire Of The Sun is a great one to see, also if you like Shakespear at all then the movie Titus starring Anthony Hopkins is a pretty well put together movie.

  I’m guessing you’ve already seen Reservoir Dogs if you liked Pulp Fiction. If not, check it out.
  Dark City is a good one if you liked Pi and the Matrix
  Seven Samurai–classic and based on your list I’m guessing you won’t be put off by the subtitles
  Ninth Gate–not for everyone, but if you like Johnny Depp and an unusual premise…
  Jacob’s Ladder–again, not for everyone, but everyone needs to
  see it once to decide for themselves. then you have to watch it again and try to figure what the heck you just saw

  EDIT:
  If you like Amadeus, you might like Immortal Beloved (the Beethoven biopic)

  I have to say other than Alfred Hitchcock movies, which goes with out comment, the following are pretty good: The Power of One-for the music, the message, The Money Pit-Just because it’s funny, been there, almost done that. The Lion King for animation, music and message, and I have to say lately, the movie CARS, because in watching, you forget you are watching an animated film. Pixar is wonderful….I love old movies by the Marx Bros. there is no comedy like that, and my favorite of all time is Gone With the Wind…..no further comment needed, so if you are in the mood, I recommend all of them for inspiration, laughter, entertainment and just plain old romance……….

  Napoleon Dynamite: This is an off the wall comedy that you either love or hate. Since you have some other off the wall stuff (O Brother, Pee Wee, Pulp Fiction) I think you would enjoy it

  The Royal Tannibaums: Another off the wall movie that you either love or hate. I liked it because I like Ben Stiller.

  Isn’t Amelie awesome? That’s my favourite movie of all time.

  I found Crash was quite good.
  Once Were Warriors… old but very intense.
  Dead Man – Has Johnny Depp in it. It looks stupid from the case but is very very good. (theres not much action but is a strange story)
  Resident Evil was good
  The Lord Of The Rings series was quite well done and easy to watch
  Castaway with tom hanks was good… mainly because it’s my dream to be cast away on a island
  American History X is a good story
  Fight Club was good
  The Score was alright as well

  There are a whole lot of others and as I remember them I might add them in here.

  Several of your movies rate highly with me as well, so I feel confident in recommending a few others I love:
  1) Lord of the Rings (all). These are extremely powerful, character-driven masterpieces comprising a single, awesome epic. Get the extended versions.
  2) Memento. It will make you think about perception and memory and their effects on what is true and what is a lie.
  3) Kill Bill, both volumes. Much like Pulp Fiction, these are chock full of Tarantino goodness.
  4) Blade Runner. Possibly the greatest pure science fiction movie of all time. Get the director’s cut, because the theatrical version got somewhat butchered.
  5) Try anything from this grab-bag: Legend (Director’s Cut), 12 Monkeys, Crash, Groundhog Day, Hard Candy, A History of Violence, Maria Full of Grace, and The Usual Suspects.

  The Last Seduction – Linda Fiorentino plays one of the most evil characters of all time and Peter Berg plays the innocent who falls for her.
