So I've started watching a few of the movies you suggested. Here are some of what I've seen. (I would have seen more but I had a pressing need to watch Season Six of Gilmore Girls. I have my priorities, people!)

Airport 75 as suggested by Homer. The real disappointment in this movie is that neither Karen Black nor Charlton Heston dies in it. Had at least one of them died, I think I would have been more satisfied.

Loggerheads as suggested by Thomas. I really liked this movie even though it was so depressing I wanted to throw a hair dryer in my bathtub afterwards. Awesome soundtrack with lots of heavenly Patty Griffin.

The Professional as suggested by Kyle. I've come to realize over the last year, that I have a sort of ADD when it comes to watching movie at home. I never sit through an entire movie at once. I more or less watch them all in 15 minutes increments, pausing the movie to do someone else that is currently distracting me. For this movie, I didn't pause it for a whole 45 minutes! That's some sort of record for me. It's a very good film that's interesting and very expertly acted and directed. And Gary Oldman is best when he's a wacky lunatic.

My Neighbor Totoro as suggested by Alden. When I told Alden I was interested in seeing Paprika, he suggested I check out some other anime starting with My Neighbor Totoro. A long time ago, Dyanna suggested I see it. I told her I would if she watched Shoes twenty times in a row, which I know she won't unless I put her in some sort of Clockwork Orange chair and force her to. Shews!

I really enjoyed My Neighbor Totoro, but I have to admit I found the Totoro and Cat Bus a little creepy.

Next up, Mzouiser's suggestion: Fight, Zatoichi, Fight!
