"Sunshine Cleaners"

Sunshine Cleaning, maybe? If so, +1 @slaw .

Besides dramas that are about everyday people in everyday scenarios that turn sideways on them (such as A Map Of The World with Sigourney Weaver), I seem to gravitate to dark movies with non gratuitous violence, and if based on factual events--all the better.

In no particular order, I immensely enjoyed Phil Spector, Donnie Brasco (I thought this was Al Pacino's best acting), Wonderland, Black Mass, The Departed, No Country For Old Men (I particularly thought that was a great one!), The Counselor, Gone Baby Gone.

Breaking away from the dark side, I really enjoyed Rushmore, and I can watch that one over again and find some facet I missed before and enjoy it almost as much as the first time I watched it.

. . . Michael Clayton kept my attention, House Of Sand And Fog was good enough that I watched it a second time after a year or two, and American Pastoral was another that kept my attention.

And speaking of Al Pacino (which I did last post), although I don't like them as much as Phil Spector or Donnie Brasco, I did enjoy Scent Of A Woman and Paterno.  

Here’s a great film entitled "David Lynch Teaches You The Art Of Life---Full Masterclass." It’s almost three hours long, but it’s time well spent to watch it.

+1 for Jean de Florette and its sequel, Manon of the Spring....breathtakingly beautiful and heart-rending

Hear My Song...little known, funny, touching and wonderful music 

Chaplin's City Lights...maybe my all-time favorite

Billy Wilder's The Fortune Cookie...seriously, Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau at their best

Singin' in the Rain...hmm, maybe this is my all-time favorite

Fritz Lang's Metropolis

Everything by the Coen brothers

Almost everything by Wes Anderson

and about 1,000 others...

@77jovian: I haven’t seen The Fortune Cookie, but I sure love Lemmon and Matthau in The Odd Couple. Who doesn’t?!

Agree about the Coen’s, with the exception of Intolerable Cruelty. But then I haven’t seen The Hudsucker Proxy, Burn After Reading, or The Ladykillers (love the original). I love, love, love The Man Who Wasn’t There and A Serious Man. The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs is pretty darn great, and of course it goes without saying so are Fargo and O Brother, Where Art Thou?.

Mean Streets was the first Martin Scorsese film I saw, which may be why it remains my favorite of his (well, it and Taxi Driver).
