A good way to find great movies is to look up Academy Award nominations for various years. If you check various categories of nominees, you can find interesting stuff. I usually look for best picture, best actor, best special effects, best supporting actor, and look at the nominees for categories too as there are many that I think should have won, that didn't quite make the final cut.

What great movies...all! However, for me, a true heroic movie, and one that highlights the bond between man and dog is Togo. This is the true story of one musher, Leonard Sepula, and his lead dog, Togo, that face insurmountable odds in delivering diphtheria serum to Nome, Alaska during a deadly diphtheria outbreak. The Ididirod Dog Sled Race was created in honor of this heroic event and the dogs and mushers that participated. Such a great movie...

Havent seen it but just the photo makes me think of moving to Costa Rica. I hate snow.
 
Not a movie but "The Prisoner" TV series from 1967-68. Lot of interesting points of convergence with the modern times; gaslighting, strong sense of self, the individual being seen as a danger etc.

You got a lot of Tarantino stuff, (True Romance was written by him as was Natural Born Killers and a lot of others).

GOT to see "Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood" --it's his best so far. Instant classic.

"The Captain" is an interesting BW German film about a true story of a deserter in WW2 who finds a German captain uniform and does a bunch of fucked up shit.
