LOTS, BUT FARGO, BLOOD SIMPLE, TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE, MALTESE FALCON, PRINCESS BRIDE, SAY ANYTHING

Dropping Fargo and adding Titanic??? Get serious. Of the rest, Blood Simple is horribly underrated. Did Sierra Madre make the list? If not, that’s unbelievable. Princess Bride and Say Anything are more recent classics, always watchable no matter the mood.
Several bloggers have mentioned some foreign films (which don’t qualify), but I’ll add my 2 cents: early Hitchcock (I’d vote for 39 Steps or The Lady Vanishes), Rules of the Game, Seven Samurai or Ran from Kurosawa, and for the lighter touch, a lesser known favorite of mine - Local Hero, with its picture-perfect yet slightly askew Scottish town.
