A movie from when movies meant something more than just violence for violence sake:

Blood Alley (1955) - IMDb

Falling Down (1993)

Awesome, awesome movie starring Micheal Douglas about an office worker who gets mad at all the rubbish happening to his life, family and surroundings; breaks down and finally decides to take some corrective action for the working man against the perceived injustices occuring around him.

If you've ever had one of those days that never went well for you, watching Micheal Douglas get some payback is a great form of catharsis..

Equilibrium, and man the story is quite hard to get used to...

Yeah but Christian Bale is quite awesome in this film

The introduction of the film with it's haunting scenes featuring the 'history' of the world and its dictators was quite phonomenal too..

Agreed.

Edit: and it's spelled Phenomenal

Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)

This is (together with the movies Ferris Bueller's Day Off and The Breakfast Club) the quintessential high school movie before the concept was overused and cheapened by subsequent movie releases of the genre.

Featuring a cast of future stars in the prime of their youth (Sean Penn, Forest Whitaker, Judge Reinhold and Jennifer Jason Leigh), this movie became particularly infamous due to the 'scene'.

Yes, those who have seen it know what I'm talking about. It was rumored that most rentals of the videotapes of this movie got ruined due to the constant slow-motion/pausing-rewind-play people were doing to their tapes at that particular 'scene'

It's a very no holds barred movie, and a definite recommendation. 8/10 for me.

I am sure many recall this old movie. I found it in my old archives.

Try making an animated 40s movie featuring content like that in the PC-era and see what happens....

It was just a reality of the times the movie was made in I guess...

I've seen it about six times anyway.

We were at a friends house for dinner last night and we just watched whatever was on TV...

Crocodile Dundee (1986)

Gave the world Paul Hogan and a KNOIFE.

Introduced the world to an awesome aussie before the infamous "fightin' round the world" Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman.

That is not a knife.....now this is a knife! Pulls Bowie knife from pants sleeth!

I thought the 2nd Crocodile Dundee was just as good as well. A Guy

Battle Royale (2000)

Made before movies like 'Hunger Games' were even conceptualized in the west, this Japanese movie is about a dystopian future in which a random class from a random school is picked by National Lottery to participate in a free for all survival of the fittest contest (basically kill or be killed) on a secluded island of the shore of Japan.

It's a very shocking movie to watch the 1st time, as all of the actors and actresses are actually teenagers and they play their roles convincingly. There are very disturbing scenes in this movie, and even those who're desensitized from violence would feel rather queasy at times....

8/10 - Recommended

I had wondered why Paul Hogan hadn't made more movies, because I've only seen the first two Crocodile Dundees. However there are two more movies (Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles and Lightening Jack) which I haven't seen yet. Still that is a short list.

EDIT: OOPS!, his filmograpy is longer than I thought:
