Here are some more I particularly enjoy though some might be familiar, just as I have seen many familiar ones. "Open Range", for one, airs regularly though I can't recall the channel it's on.

Mrs Palfrey at The Claremont (2005) - IMDb ~ gentle, sweet and sad

Lured (1947) - IMDb ~ film noir with touches of comedy, with a cast headed by Lucille Ball and including George Sanders, Boris Karloff and Charles Coburn

Interstate 60: Episodes of the Road (2002) - IMDb ~ James Marsden continues to surprise me.

Camille (2008) - IMDb ~ A fellow and his unfortunate bride try to get to Niagara Falls, encountering David Carradine and some pastel horses along the way.

Curse of the Faceless Man (1958) - IMDb ~ If you like low-budget horror from the drive-in days, here's one. That's where my family saw it, and it's always stayed in my mind.

Moontrap (1989) - IMDb ~ This is an out-there sci fi film starring Walter ("Chekov") Koenig and Bruce (The Main Man!) Campbell.

Greedy Guts (2000) - IMDb ~ truly bizarre

Alice (1988) - IMDb ~ truly bizarre, too

Just in case anyone hasn't heard of this genuinely cult film:
The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra (2001) - IMDb

I think it is an absolute shame that more people have not seen Salt of the Earth.

Salt of the Earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In 1992 the Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the United States National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."

The film is preserved by the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

I'm Not Scared (2003)
Twin Falls, Idaho (1999)
Naked (1993)
The Cow (1969)
Wild Strawberries (1957)

To name a few.

'Wild Strawberries' is the movie that made me fall in love with Ingmar Bergman's films.

I have watched Panic over and over....and still never tire of it. Fascinating.

Q&A.. Some may have seen it. Nick Nolte as a corrupt NYC detective.. Sidney Lumet directs.. one of Brando's favorites..

Panic.. Wm. Macy and Donald Sutherland as a father and son hit man team.. David Mamet!

You Can Count on Me.. Mark Ruffalo and Laura Linney as the children of a couple killed many years earlier in a car accident..
