Rashomon is nice, but if you haven't seen Primer, then that's the one I'd advice. But don't have anything else planned - this is a movie that requires the concentration of a textbook - and you may want to watch it twice.

And, *still*. As I said on IRC:

("geeks have come a long way since they were mocked and despised a couple decades ago.")
< mair> "Now that we know nerdiness can lead to fame, power and riches, it's possible to be a geek and get the girl."
< mair> ... maybe in another couple decade it'll be possible to be a geek and *be* the girl?
