One movie that hasn’t been mentioned is Being There.
Two lesser known movies that are on my list.. 1) the long Good Friday, England’s version of The Godfather, the hunter becomes the hunted.
2) once were Warriors, it’s about the ghetto like of a Maori family in New Zealand

There weren’t many Comedies, life of Brian tops my list

I love old horror movies. I watch Svengoolie on Me-TV every Saturday night.
Strangely I can't stand any newer science fiction or horror movies that try to be realistic. I guess I like campy, corny stuff. I would much rather watch 60's TV Batman than any of the newer movies about Batman.

Same here. "The Tingler" with Vincent Price scared me to death when I was little. Couldn't sleep alone for a week. Also House on Haunted Hill (also a Price movie). Horror movies later were too preoccupied with special effects and scripts that work the mind too hard. Exceptions would be a few such as The Shining and Exorcist which to me are modern horror classics.

Coen Brothers make good flicks. I really liked the True Grit remake as well.
