The Return of Movie Club: Sleuth

The first rule of movie club is that movie references can't be made into rules.
The second is that it'd be organized. Oh noes, that falls on me!
What is this club of movies? Well, the idea is that we pick a movie, watch it, and then talk about the movie.
What kind of movies, you ask? Great question. The movies we thought looked kinda cool, but never got around to watching. Occasionally the oldies we haven't watched in a while. Never the brand new blockbusters or 'indies' that everyone just got done talking to death.
This is how the it'll go down: We make a list of movies to watch, based on your suggestions. I'll veto any garbage nominated, because somebody's gotta do it. Every week, I'll pick 4 random movies from the list, we vote via liming & bolding, and the winner gets added to the queue.
And again...
A) No new releases.
No movies that everyone and their mother watched, and that includes nerd staples (you know what I'm talking about, Donnie)
C) No 'so bad it's good'. Let's just stick with the genuinely good stuff.
Spoilers: Normal rules apply. Spoiler all spoilers.

i'll nominate a cool movie: sexy beast. ben kingsley is incredible in that movie.
I will nominate Lucky Number Slevin.
Would Slither count as so-bad-it's-good, or just good? Because I fucking love that movie.
We had a lot internet argument, and couldn't decide on anything, but decided that everyone them so RoboCop. And I'm sure nobody's seen recently...
Do as I say.
It's help up surprisingly really well. I hadn't seen it since i was a child and low and behold it's still an awesome movie.
What, seriously? That's insane! That's like not having Gone With The Wind or something.
And I am pumped about Robocop as the first choice. It is a classic, classic movie that I think gets woefully underestimated by people.
And a Fish Called Wanda.
And, A Boy and His Dog.
Sweet!
I support this choice.
took out her barrettes and her hair spilled out like rootbeer
siryessir!
Oh god I'd forgotten about this... I once named a lizard Marlow in honor of this masterpiece.
The City of Lost Children
NintendoID: Nailbunny 3DS: 3909-8796-4685
....and I nominate Soylent Green.
I nominate Zulu.

Spoiler for plot
Anyone who has ever seen a John Waters movie knows this man's flicks are usually pretty bizarre. The cast is great. It has Tracey Ullman, Johnny Knoxville, Selma Blair and Chris Isaak... None of whom play their usual roles. I'm not usually a huge fan of Ullman or Knoxville but they are both great in this movie.
So..... oh man I saw Robocop when it first came out on VHS and it's been my very favourite movies since I was 9. Woo!
Beat me on 360: Raybies666
I remember when I had time to be good at games.
And theme original theme is totally awesome.
I know the third one was quite terrible, but I still have fond memories of the second one. But I also haven't seen it since I was a kid.
Robot junkies FTW!
or
Road Warrior
After I saw the movie a couple a weeks ago, i made a ringtone out of it.
So, heads up, if you're not planning to rent the DVD.
This is actually all I've ever seen of Robocop.
ed: Also, I would like to nominate The White Dragon
