I just finished watching Beautiful Creatures on HBO a few minutes ago. I guess it's directed toward the Twilight/Divergent/Hunger Games audience, but I thought it was way better than any of those other movies.

The Golem and How He Came into the World.

It is a silent movie with the limits of the time period, but very watchable. The incidental music is appropriate but never too loud. Another quiet movie with a golem-like character is the original The Day the Earth Stood Still. TDTESS is a classic.

Forbidden Planet.

This is a cult movie and is a must see. I'd add Pulp Fiction to the list as well.

HBO (or was it ShowTime) recently ran "A Serious Man" This was produced and directed by the Coens. Some pretty good entertainment right there.
