As the title suggest, this thread is about movies that you watched and want to recommend. It doesn't matter when you watched it or why or how old the movie is .. All I'm asking here is that the movie should have stuck with you for awhile after watching it, which should be a sign that it's a good movie..
As to the pertinent question of what makes a movie good or not?.. I'll leave it to the contributors' own judgement/sensibility.. Because you don't need to be a professional film critic to have a reasonable sense of that...
I will start here by :
> Paul Haggis's Crash (2005). An intelligent well crafted film with a wonderful original soundtrack.. Highly recommended.
> Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained (2012). It's a story about the pre-Civil War African-American Slavery in the US South.. The movie (Django Unchained (2012)) is a 2h 45min-long highly entertaining watch.. Tarantino-style!.. A good casting too.. I enjoyed the performance of Jamie Foxx (as Django) and Christoph Waltz ( as Dr. King Schultz)
> Michael Mann's Heat (1995). To my mind the best crime drama ever and Michael Mann is the master of the genre. The movie starred Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Val Kilmar, Jon Voight etc...
> Michael Mann's Collateral (2004): a gripping noir thriller starring Tom Cruise, Jamie Foxx, Mark Ruffalo etc..
