You have some great suggestions already. Just adding to the list...
El Mariachi - If you've ever wondered who Robert Rodriguez is, it's because you haven't seen this film. Suitable themes for analysis are fate and revenge.
The Boondock Saints - Who doesn't like a film about brothers who kill lots of bad guys? The main theme I took from it was that of moral ambiguity; the parity between law and justice and whether an individual has the right to judge another man for himself.
Pulp Fiction - I don't think I need to explain this one.
Total Recall - I know, it's Arnold. It also blurred the line between reality and hallucination long before Laurence Fishburne came along with his fancy Ray-bans.
Get Shorty - I'd normally say to steer clear of novel adaptations, but this one actually works quite well, possible because of Leonard's prior Hollywood experience. In any case, it's a fun film and I'm sure you could find some theme to pull out of there.
Clerks - This one's a bit over-exposed by now, but it's a good one all the same. The dialog is what carries it; again, pulling out themes of films I've seen over a year ago after midnight is tough for me, but it shouldn't be too hard.
Between these and all the suggestions above, I'd say if you can't find something that suits you you're probably in the wrong class.
