Lawrence of Arabia tests the patience of some young people but then again, it's such a great film and the cinematography is so compelling, maybe they'd dig it.

The Fly. A David Cronenberg classic. Thumbs up on this one.

Yoda's list is brilliant so I second those nominations.

Here's a few more:

The Thing

The Shining

Harold & Maude

Heathers

Cabaret

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

City Of God

Wings Of Desire

Chinatown

Lonestar

Miller's Crossing

Rain Man

High Noon

Life Is Beautiful

The Exorcist

Casablanca

LA Confidential

Misery

And of course, Cyrano de Bergerac (French version starring Gerard Depardieu, 1990).

So those were the first titles that came to mind. And really, I can do this all day. But what I most recommend is renting them with your kids (if that's an option). I always enjoy picking movies with my kids.
