So, I'm new to TLDR, but is there a typical genre here? Would I get laughed at for suggesting something like "Lone Star?"

One of the great American movies my one of its greatest filmmakers? Of course you won't get laughed at.

MUST be willing to watch whatever movie is chosen and contribute to the discussion that follows. If you think you won't be able to, don't bother nominating anything!

Willing is one thing and able is another. A lot of the more obscure stuff is only available if you have online rental capabilities but I don't want to get bogged down in that debate again. That said I already saw as much of Sex and Lucia as I ever will [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I nominate Detour
Detour

I think it's discussion worthy. I know Dom and Pryor have both applauded it in the past and I had a few problems with it.

I also think there should be a rule that you can't vote for your own nomination.

Cool Hand Luke

I'm not familiar with that film. More info please - director, actors? Thanks.

Finally rejoining, so I won't nominate. But I've been wanting to see Sex and Lucia for a while, so I'll 2nd that.

[John Cole]

Michael Haneke's The Piano Teacher. I'm sure this would cause some controversy.

[diebitter]

I'll nominate Bubba Ho-Tep, which has an extraordinary subtext underneath what is on paper a cheesy and silly horror flick, but in fruition is anything but

('Frailty' and 'Ed Wood' were also contenders)

[katyseagull]

I feel I can offer no nominations because I don't know any fancy foreign films with cool sounding names. I will, however, cast a vote when the time comes.
