Given the fact that this thread is all about spreading the word among cinephiles of all stripes, well, here is a little jewel from mid-1990s: Smoke (1995.)
A simple yet brilliant movie -of the kind they don't make any more- written by Paul Auster and directed by Wayne Wang & John Landis. It has a well woven storyline -thanks to Paul Auster's mastery- played by three great actors -William Hurt, Harvey Keitel and Forest Whitaker- among others..
Highly recommended for classic cinephiles.. but not so much for standard current moviegoers (ie there is no CGI, no Gore, no Hi-octane violence, no senseless action no - and no - etc... It's all in the narrative!)
