Megan, there does seem to be a lot of distopia's in your fav movies.
Another good distopia is: Children of men.
One my favorite all time movie is RED, of the TRICOLOR trilogy.
It deal with the issue of intercrossing fates, communication of lack thereof.
The cinematography, especially seen in the cinema, it brillant and
the soundtrack is heavenly.
The main actor is Trintignant, who was a heartrob in the 60's.
He was in one of the top french movies of the 60's:
"A man and woman" . A romantic classic.
Another favorite, just because its such a tightly scripted movie with good performance is Jerry McGuire. I normally don't find Tom Cruise that attractive,
be he was in that movie.
Lost in Translation, I've seen a zillion times, it just drips in atmosphere and it is really like that going to Japan. I went there for a month in 2002. Almost no adult japanese speaks english well, except some small schoolkids.
Even if they know it, they're too shy to try it on you, so you wind up using a lot of sign language :-). Japanese TV, oh my, its like Fox extreme programming, but worse!! Many men in the subway read erotic mangas which very young sexualized heroins in full view of everyone, everyone's on the subway is texting at 2000 miles an hour, never looking up.
Nothing Hill, I like the romanticism of it, though I can't say I identify with Julia's character since she's a real piece of work (except at the end).
Shakespeare in love, I love the flow of words that posses the spirit and soul.
In classic movies, of course, I love Casablanca, Its a wonderfull life, The Philadelphia Story, tons of hitcock movies, but my favorite by far is Rear Window (I fancy myself having the grace and beauty of Grace Kelly, sometimes I even think I look a bit like her... Yeah Righ ;-).
I'm a cinephile, a love all kinds in general except probably horror movies (the good ones terrorize me too much, so I can't bear to watch!).
