Any suggestions for favorite movies that I might not have seen?

I’ve been trying to knock off every must-see movie since ~1980. I’ve seen pretty much every major blockbuster movie and every modern era movie from imdb’s top 100. Was wondering if you guys have a favorite movie outside of those parameters. Open to any genre

L.A. 2017

quote:

"L.A. 2017" is a 1971 episode of the NBC television series The Name of the Game. Sometimes referred to as "Los Angeles: AD 2017" (the name of Philip Wylie's subsequent novel based on his script) or "Los Angeles 2017", this was a science fiction piece, shot for only $375,000, about a publisher, Glenn Howard (Gene Barry), who finds himself suddenly plunged 46 years into the future only to learn that the people of Los Angeles are living underground to escape the pollution and under the thumb of a fascist government run by psychiatrists. Its director, the 24-year-old Steven Spielberg, used imaginative camera angles to drive his first movie-length television episode across and remarked in later years that the show "opened a lot of doors for me".
The script, by celebrated scifi novelist Wylie (When Worlds Collide), is an environmentalist satire on 1970 America in the manner of Planet Of The Apes or The Omega Man. I expected it to be badly dated but it actually holds up quite well, especially the prescient idea of psychiatrists forming a political party/priesthood-like power bloc. There is a classic scene involving a hippie rock band.

The Way Way Back might fall within these parameters. Have you seen it yet?

From 1979 but I watched Hardcore yesterday. Great fricking movie, George C Scott is amazing.

Can't go wrong with Manhunter or Falling Down if you haven't seen those.

I have seen it. That’s the movie that made me a big Edward Norton fan, besides Fight Club of course. Awesome film

I haven’t seen any of the movies posted except a few. Apparently everyone else read and understood my first post

I believe you are thinking of something else unless you are confusing Edward Norton with Sam Rockwell. The Way Way Back has Rockwell, Steve Carrell, and Rob Corddry
