<p>And some more that I’ve probably forgotten. All of the above movies are definitely amazing.</p>
<p>^Of those I second the Bourne trilogy, Oceans 11, Se7en, Catch me if you Can, and Fight Club (haven’t seen a lot of the others so can’t comment). Those seem to be sure-fire positive experiences. Memento you might enjoy as well, although it’s kinda strange.</p>
<p>I’ll add Insomnia, Gattaca, The Talented Mr. Ripley, and Collateral.</p>
<p>Although it doesn’t align with the subjects of the movies you listed, you might like the gritty style/coming of age story in Friday Night Lights. And if you get into superhero movies I’d recommend Batman Begins, The Matrix (not a comic but whatever), and X-Men I and II.</p>
