"Testament" with Jane Alexander - the most moving film about nuclear war I have ever seen
"Smoke Signals" the most moving film about a pair of Coeur d'Alene Indian buddies I have ever seen
"Lathe of Heaven" (not the remake) - the original made-for TV movie about a man whose dreams literally come true - every night!
David Mamet's films:
"House of Games" great dialogue and great story about confidence men
"Homicide" not to be confused with the TV series - I'm still waiting for it to become available on DVD. I don't know why it hasn't been released.
"The Spanish Prisoner" another one about the confidence game
"Spartan" probably my favorite of his movies
"Smiley's People" and "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" based on the John Le Carre novels - loyal adaptations of both novels to these two BBC miniseries. The most convincing "cold war" stories I've ever seen.
