Die Hard With A Vengeance
The best of the three (soon to be four) Die Hard films, due largely to the presence of Samual L Jackson. You can watch it without seeing the first two, so don't worry about being left behind.

You should watch the first film before this one, but I always preferred Bogus Journey to Excellent Adventure.

This film isn't as clever as it likes to believe it is, but it's definately worth a look if you like claustrophobic, gruesome science fiction.

Cube Zero
The prequel to Cube, this is wonderfully made for the low budget. A bit disappointing towards the end as the film loses its sense of claustrophobia, but still worth watching.

Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead
A sadly overlooked adaptation of Tom Stoppard's Shakespeare satire, which follows two incidental characters from Hamlet as they move through the story unaware of their fate. More rewarding if you have a knowledge of Hamlet, but the two leads are brilliant regardless.

Say Anything
A rather good John Cusack teen movie, forgotten amongst The Breakfast Clubs and Sixteen Candleses of the 80s. This film will teach you that standing outside your ex's house playing Peter Gabriel extremely loudly is a legitimate seduction method.
