Also, you simply have to see The Prestige if you haven't already. The Machinist was worth the watch just to see what Christian Bale is willing to do for a role. Beyond that Memento did it better. Zodiac was absolutely fantastic, but then again, it is a David Fincher film (Jake Gyllenhaal is at his Eagle Scout best while Robert Downey Jr. reaffirmed what I always believed about his acting chops). White Light/Black Rain is a documentary about the dropping of the Nuclear Bomb in Japan--it was by far the most horrifying thing I have watched in ages. It still haunts me.
Those are films I've seen lately that have left a lasting impression.
