    I'm really interested in reading your opinion on There Will Be Blood. The ending in particular, it's really shocking, but at the same time I found it strangely funny.

    I see you've managed to watch almost all of them. Of the ones you have left, I would highly recommend Ikuru and The Ox-Bow Incident. Rashomon is a classic for the device of different perspectives on a story. The Breakfast Club is a classic for the 80s generation. Barton Fink is slow for the first hour or so then really takes off. In the Name of the Father didn't do much for me.
