Taxi Driver

It's the movie that made DeNiro popular. And has the popular quote "Are you talking to me? Are you fucking talking to me?
Plot Outline: A mentally unstable Vietnam war veteran works as nighttime taxi driver in a city whose perceived decadence and sleaze feeds his urge to violently lash out.


Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

British action/comedy. Very similar to the movie Snatch, especially since its made by the same guy.
Plot Outline: Four London working class stiffs pool their money to put one in a high stakes card game, but things go wrong and they end up owing half a million pounds and having one week to come up with the cash.



Chinatown

A classic detective movie with Jack Nicholson.
Plot Outline: A private detective investigating an adultery case stumbles on to a scheme of murder that has something to do with water.


City of God

It's an amazing brazilian mafia movie.
Plot Outline: Two boys growing up in a violent neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro take different paths: one becomes a photographer, the other a drug dealer.
