Here's a list from some DVDs I've tried. Since you didn't list genre preferences, these choices are pretty widely scattershot.Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery--comedy/parody of 60's spy films.
The Big Hit--action/comedy, Hong Kong-style (definitely over-the-top).
Boogie Nights--profile of San Fernando Valley porno industry during the late 70's to early '80s, in the style of "Goodfellas".
A Bug's Life--clever Disney/Pixar computer animated story.
Central Station--fine foreign language drama of an unlikely partnership between a young boy and a retired woman.
Contact--a scifi film with a strong sense of humanity.
Dark City--science fiction/alternative reality.
Dangerous Beauty--history-based story of the life of a courtesan in Renaissance Venice.
Elizabeth--events leading to Queen Elizabeth I's coronation, sort of Merchant Ivory Studios does "The Godfather I".
Eve's Bayou--secrets and revelations of a Louisiana bayou family.
The Fifth Element--dazzling scifi eye candy. Not much of a story, though.
GATTACA--as with "Contact", scifi with questions about the human spirit.
Gods and Monsters--story of unlikely friendship between horror film director James Whale and his young gardener.
L.A. Confidential--clever murder film noir (well, maybe it isn't noir enough).
Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels--violent, funny crime caper with attitude story; the British equivalent of "Pulp Fiction".
The Mask of Zorro--conventional action/adventure version of the legend.
Mrs. Brown--story of scandalous friendship between Queen Victoria and a lowly stableman.
The Opposite of Sex--politically incorrect sex comedy.
The Pillow Book--Peter Greenaway's erotic meditation on the power of words.
Ronin--A "French Connection" for the 90's. Outstanding car chase sequences.
Shakespeare In Love--Clever romantic comedy.
A Simple Plan--greed destroys a man, his brother, and his marriage.
The Spanish Prisoner--the con games of David Mamet carried to extremes.
Titanic--boat sinks, people die, love triumphs over money, film at eleven.
The Wedding Singer--80's romantic comedy, the only film in which Adam Sandler doesn't portray a psychotic retard.
When We Were Kings--documentary on the events leading up to the Muhammad Ali/George Foreman fight. Does not foreshadow Foreman's career as an infomercial food-grilling salesman.
Wild Things--sleazy flim-flam of deceit for money in Florida. Matt Dillon in a threesome with Denise Richards and Neve Campbell did not appear to work too hard for his money.
Oh, another "Star Wars" episode came out this year that you probably missed. I SHOULD have missed it.
