(not in any order)
1. Man from Earth
2. The Wrestler
3. Fight Club
4. Dark City
5. Gattaca
6. 25th hour
7. American history X
8. La citade de deus (city of god)
9. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
10. mmmhhh .. Lola rennt ! (uh run lola run in english i think)
11. the matrix (1, it'd be kind of dumb to dismiss the super cool first movie because the sequels weren't as good)
12. The fountain
13. I liked K pax, and I don't care what you think
14. Donnie Darko was fun
15. Leon (the professional)

I'm really terrible at making lists so I most probably skipped lots of movies i'd rather have fitted into that list

pulp fiction

if it's movies I can watch over and over again:
  1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
  2. Donnie Darko
  3. American Beauty
  4. The Prestige
  5. Heat
  6. Silence of the Lambs
  7. Pan's Labyrinth
  8. My Best Friend's Wedding
  9. Gattaca
  10. Saving Private Ryan
  11. Road to Perdition
  12. Kill Bill
  13. Alien
  14. Moulan Rouge
  15. Hero

But I have to say that movies I can't get out of my head include Requiem for a Dream, Hostel, and the entire Saw 7-movie series. All kind of disturbing but also making me think...

Special mentions also go to Dark City and Aliens and Se7en.
