I don't know if we have one already, but here we go...
I took a chance on a flop this weekend, and thoroughly enjoyed the Scottish film Filth, starring James McAvoy. It's about a horrible, coke-addled detective sergeant who hates everyone and everyone hates him. There's a lot of fucking and punching.
This film earned less than US$35,000 in a week in five theaters in the United States, and it's excellent. Stream it on Netflix or Torrent the movie as soon as you can.

Rent it on iTunes. I'm on the couch in my basement and my laptop is two floors up. I'd rather spend a couple bucks than get up and download the torrent.

Ridiculous, confusing and depressing. Also, I found the Scottish accents to be more irritating than I expected.

Gosh, I thought it was a brilliant film. I can't argue with your assessment that the story was ridiculous, confusing, and depressing, but it was gripping as well. Sorry I can't help you with the Scottish accents; living overseas as I do I am accustomed to all sorts of accents. After seeing this film I've bought Irvine Welsh's novel and am reading it now.
They made it for US$5 million, reportedly. A lot of film for five million.

I liked Class Of Nuke 'Em High better than the Toxic Avenger.
He should have Re-Animator on the list, if only for the scene of the disembodied head munchin that broad's box.

How about a more narrow focus. I was thinking about good drug movies to recommend to a friend. Not well-known recent stuff like Trainspotting or Blow, but lesser known dope flicks. I'll start off.
Panic in Needle Park Cisco Pike Puppet on a Chain Salton Sea Rush Spun Drugstore Cowboy (most mainstream of the list) The Man With The Golden Arm Bad Lieutenant Withnail and I

Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas is my favorite drug movie. Followed by Requiem For a Dream and Spun. I had one more in my head, but lost it.
Traffic was more about the Narcotics Industry than Drug Use, so I can't count that.

You guys know Salton Sea? Vincent D'onofrio movie? Or Rush with Gregg Allman? Both pretty great.

Heard the title Salton Sea, but never saw either of them. Got like a 2 sentence teaser on each?

Salton Sea is a cop story going deep undercover wth some meth dealers and maybe crossing the line. Vincent D'onfrio plays Pooh Bear McCutchen, who is featured in the clip below.
Rush is Jason Patric and Jennifer Jason Leigh in another deep undercover drug op with Gregg Allman as the bad guy. This one is very sexy and seductive with a great soundtrack. I am betting Gian will love it.
Cisco Pike is a 1971 cop drama with Kris Kristofferson as a retired drug dealer forced back into the trade by dirty cop Gene Hackman. Cisco and his best pal Harry Dean Stanton ramble through the Hollywood Hills and Sunset Strip to peddle the drugs before the deadline. Karen Black and 60s legend Viva play some tramps along for the ride. Fantastic soundtrack, 70s fashions, and even a visit to a recording studio to sell to Sam Sham and the Pharoahs included! Awesome flick.

Getting away from the vintage drug theme, here is one of my fav "little" movies ever. Five Corners by Tony Bill. Produced by George Harrison's Handmade Films, this one features John Tuturro, Jodie Foster and Tim Robbins. Tuturro plays Heinz Sabatini, home from jail after attempting to rape Jodie Foster years prior. His return to the Five Corners neighborhood is not well received and drama follows. Tony Bill once referred to this as his "monster movie". I recommend it to those of you in or familiar with the NYC and Brooklyn/Bronx areas for its local color and to the rest of you for it's gentle brilliance and subtle comedy. Oh yeah, it stars out slow and takes a while to kick into gear.

Shifting gears 180 degrees, I present to you Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star. This one is porn related and a riot. Bucky discovers that his parents were 70s porn stars and that he was "born to be a porn star". Only problem is that he is hung like a gnat and blows his giant load at the first sight of boobies. This ends up making him a huge AVN winning star in a page taken from our own The Minion legacy. It's a silly movie like Duece Bigelow, but with much more heart and Christina Ricci as his love interest and Don Johnson as his mentor director. Getting high might be required.

Ya lost me at Kris Kristofferson. Fuckin worthless hippie couldn't hack it in rock, so he went country. Truly the weak link in The Highwaymen.

Lots of performers go country, because country speaks to America's soul. (And probably also because country still sells records.) Darius Rucker from Hootie & the Blowfish is now one of the top country artists going.

Where'd you get that idea? Kris wrote for Johnny Cash and was presented by Cash at Newport. He wrote Sunday Morning Coming Down, Bobby McGee, Help Me Make it Through the Night, and For The Good Times. All country classics. He was a rocker much later in life. As for the Highwaymen, that was a gesture from the other three to pay Kris his due. Yes, he was the weakest performer.
Kris aside, Cisco Pike should be seen just for Harry Dean Stanton and Karen Black.

Great list. Very film school/indie-house. Everyone who posts here should be required to watch The Night Porter. You forgot The Conformists and 400 Blows.
Aguirre cracks me up. You like Jacques Tati? I fucking love Mon Oncle.

"The Night Porter," is so dirty in a way no porno can be; it makes you want to take a long, hot shower or take a long, random drive after you watch it. "400 Blows" should be there, of course, as well as "Contempt," with Bridgette Bardot when she was still hot. I'd add, "Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" but it's probably been mentioned and I've never been able to finish it at one go (no subliminal pun intended).
I never did watch a Tati film but it's a new one to add to the Netflix queue.
I should add Pasolini's Salo or 120 Days of Sodom. A few college friends and I checked it out from a mom and pop video place back in the 1980s. I remember the proprietress giving us a weird look.
Also, for the so inclined, a Czech classic, Marketa Lazarova. Weirdly mind-bending. It's probably best to watch it during an acid trip.

From that list, my favs are Repulsion and Susperia. I love all the early Polanski flicks, Cul de Sac is an obscure fav. I saw The Tennant at the age of 15 and it scared the living shit out of me. I had no idea what was going on, but I felt uneasy for days afterwards.
Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai is on TV right now. Another great film with a killer soundtrack. (by RZA)

Sleep Away Camp really scared the shit out of me and the surprise ending disgusted and weired me out for days after I watched it when I was a kid. I was maybe 11 or 12 when the movie came out on video.
