Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Closer
A Walk to Remember
House of Flying Daggers
The Warrior
Curse of the Golden Flower

and boring.
I ranked American Beauty really high on my all time list for several years. It's slipped a bit. For instance, **SPOILER** I never realized how cliche it is to have your closet gay as a tough marine.

I think someone mentioned this on page 1 but I agree that it sure belongs on this list.

Kind of in the same vein (haha, no pun intended):

Drugstore Cowboy

Also…

Casino
Barfly
Barfly was uplifting, not depressing.

Well, yeah, in it's own decadent kind of way.

(To be honest, I saw it so many years ago that I don't remember it all that well.)
