It would be nice to get some suggestions that aren't too commercial. Some overlooked, underrated, or obscure titles would be ideal. I'm a big fan of epics, period pieces, or foreign films.. even if they are a little bit older. I really like UK films too, most are put together well.

Here are a few movie suggestions that fit the bill:

1. Arizona Dream - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106307/

2. Your Friends & Neighbors - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119517/

3. Harry, He's Here To Help - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0216800/

4. Ned Kelly - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0277941/

5. The Life and Death of Peter Sellers - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0352520/

Thanks again.

If you are under 30 then you might want to check this movie out.
I would think that most people under 30 that like hip-hop and dancing didn't get
to see how this genre/life style/culture came to prominence.

This movie defined an era in the evolution of music and dance that led to the
explosion of hip-hop today. When I say defined, I mean the movie showed
where this was going and where it came from and it influenced what we hear today.

The wiki on the movie alone is worth a read :

You can watch this movie as an academic of dance or you can just chill to
it and feel the grove.

Some things in the movie will probably come off as "corny" to younger viewers
but just realize that the movie was made in 1984.

It's awesome in my opinion : "Breakin' "
