What's a really good movie?

I want to watch something

My top 5 favorites are:
Fight Club
How to Train Your Dragon
The Breakfast Club
The Sword in the Stone
and Forgetting Sarah Marshall

What are movies kind of like those. I like mental/emotional thrillers too, nothing horrific, and I don't like plotless action, but I like a gripping storyline, and no Chick flicks... Or comedies. I don't mind a movie being funny, but I don't want bullshit flicks like Anchorman or Superbad, or god forbid Mean Girls or Napoleon Dynamite.

The Departed.

 

Going on Nostalgia Critic's page and listing movies doesn't make you cool.

 

Spoiler: Long List

You said no comedies, but not all comedies have the raunch or crudeness that are usually associated with them:
"Forrest Gump" (1994)
"Pleasantville" (1998)
"The Truman Show" (1998)
"Almost Famous" (2000)
"About a Boy" (2002)
"Love Actually" (2003)
"Little Miss Sunshine" (2006)
"Juno" (2007)
"Lars and the Real Girl" (2007)
"The Kids Are All Right" (2010)
I'm a sucker for feel-good comedies.

Musicals:
"Moulin Rouge" (2001)
"Across the Universe" (2007)
"Sweeny Todd" (2007)

Dramas:
"L.A. Confidential" (1997)
"Boys Don't Cry" (1999)
"Amores Perros" (2000)
"Monster" (2003)
"Julia" (2008)
"Let the Right One In" (2008) (Categorized as a horror, but I would call it more of a drama)
"Let Me In" (2010) (An American remake of "Let the Right One In")

A couple of movies that I would categorize as horrific but are directed by David Fincher (director of "Fight Club"):
"Seven" (1995)
"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" (2011)

Some movies I consider to be great science-fiction:
"2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968)
"Solaris" (1971)
"Alien" (1979)
"Contact" (1997)
"Prometheus" (2012)

Westerns:
"Unforgiven" (1992)
"3:10 to Yuma" (2007)

Actually, I have a 279GB folder with movies if anyone wants me to make a torrent of it

 

Okay, well since I've seen most of these, literally every single one of the movies from the posts that I liked, I'm going to go ahead and watch a few of the others. I'm going to start with Departed, since that was the first suggestion that I haven't seen.

 

If you like crime stories, you'll love it. It's my favorite movie of all time.

 

I would be hard pressed to make a list of movies a like, since most of them are so terrible, but if i did it would look something like this:

1. All POTC movies
2. A handful of batman movie (animated and live action)
3. Titanic
4. The Amazing Spider-man
5. Inception

 

THAT WAS THE MOVIE I WAS TRYING TO THINK OF DAMNIT

I first watched it in a Contemporary Cinema class :>

 

I was gonna say Inception but I was beaten by two posts...

The Sixth Sense
The Fifth Element (I haven't actually seen it completely but what I saw was good, and everyone seems to love it).
Leon/The Professional
Black Swan

 

Recently out of my non-guilty pleasure movies, I really enjoyed True Grit. Both the original and the remake. Though accordingly to your tastes, I would say the remake would be a better fit.

Also, might be a bit old school, but a lot of Akira Kurosawa's movies. Shichinin no Samurai, Rashoman, and Yojimbo are my top 3 picks.

 

A Beautiful Mind
A Clockwork Orange
Hard Candy
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Chatroom
Sin City
Metropolis
Silly Boy Slap Party
What It Feels Like to be Hit by a Car
Nosferatu
To Kill a Mockingbird
Pauvre Pierrot (if you like to be amazed by how far films have come since the brilliant little slideshows of earlier days)
Very Nice, Very Nice

just a few of my very favourites. :3
