Would Anyone Suggest a Good Movie Please? (shameless vanity)

For a myriad of reasons, I have spent the last few months watching a movie most every weeknight. I have finally gotten my money’s worth from my Netflix account.
But, lately I have had trouble finding movies I think I will like. I scour Netflix and am having a hard time finding movies that interest me, though I know they are out there.
My interest runs from war movies to action flicks to quirky indy films to foreign art things.
Some of my favorite movies I have seen the past few months are Defiance, all of the Sean Connery Bond films, Sleeper, The Right Stuff, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Riding Giants, a Hard Day’s Night, and a few foreign artsy films whose names I don’t recall.
By far my favorite movie I have seen lately is Everything is Illuminated.
I have no interest in horror flicks, romance movies, teen gross out flicks or most movies made in the 1960s.
Could anyone be so kind as to suggest a good movie or two?
Thanks

A movie called “The Dish” was recommended on FR a few months ago, so I bought it, and it is wonderful. It was released about ten years ago, IIRC. It’s a true story about a satellite dish in Australia that broadcast the video of the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. Lots of great comedy in it, I think it’s rated PG-13 so it’s family-friendly. It’s worth checking out.

Mrs. Freedomlover and I tend to lock into genres, learn a bit about them, and critique them as we watch. We have recently been taking it to a new level with our respective netbooks in our laps, looking up tidbits about the film/genre as we watch. Its fun.
Put it this way, a year ago, I had never heard of Dario Argento. We are on his sixth film now. (hint - Italian Horror)
In our case Netflix has made it pretty easy.

The Hired hand, 1971. The story is OK but you get Warren Oates and peter Fonda still in good form. the cinematography is outstanding.
