i dunno, Shawshank isn't absolutely focused on plot, but it isn't the first movie that would jump to mind when it comes to this thread....

Nah, don't listen to me, I'm just a grumpy old bastard and when I say fuck, I really mean heck. But I hate Shawshank so much!!! God forgive me.
I thought that ''they have a story, but the main story is secondary in the film...'' describes a movie that has a story only for the sake of it and its true value is the atmosphere or the clever exposition of relationships. Not that the main plot occurs to be less important than the sub-plot when you see the big picture.
Lost in Translation fits my version better I think

Another suggestion: "Twentynine Palms", the newer one.

I think Rushmore has a great story, integral to the movie. I feel the same about The Royal Tenenbaums also.

whoah! even more!
I seen all of kubricks' and also fellinis. They're fucking great! that goes for kurosawa's flicks too!
the shawshank redemption isn't exactly what I meant, but it's a great movie!
I've been wanting to see tetsuo - iron man for a while... it's on 99,99 in the store...
almost bought eraserhead once, but I opted for the movie I hadn't heard anything about that also looked like it was awesomely bad (it was)!
I'll check all the rest.

I think you should have articulated your criteria more clearly at the outset. Some of the films being sugggested are worlds away from the slow character-driven dissections of LiT, tLA, tRT etc.

hmm.. quite possible, but most of them are quite probably good movies, though... I couldn't stand JUST watching the same type of movie all the time either.. I'm just making a mental list of movies that I'll buy if they're cheap or available or something... of course, I'm checking trailers and stuff on them too, to make sure I'm not "buying the cat in the bag," as the proverb goes.

I would never try to make you watch only one type of movie - I just thought that's what this thread was about. But yeah, all of the movies people have suggested are good. So get yourself to the video store, post haste!

hahaha! I like how you say "I would never try to make you watch only one type of movie" and make it seem like that's exactly what you're trying to do, you're just covering it up or something... hahaha!
