DEFINITELY watch The Thing and Big Trouble in Little China! Amazing movies. If you haven't seen Escape from LA, it's essentially the same premise as Escape from New York in a different location. Still worth a watch, but not as good as New York. The Art of the Steal is good for a laugh. It's a lot like Ocean's 11 if Kurt's Jack Burton from Big Trouble in Little China was in it. Death Proof drags a bit and has some filler dialogue, but Kurt's performance as Stuntman Mike makes the movie. Finally, Bone Tomahawk is incredible. It's a mix of western and horror, but done well. It's a slow burn of a movie, but it pays off at the end.

I concur with everything the above posters recommended. I also want to recommend Tequila Sunrise, Silkwood and Unlawful Entry,

Hateful Eight..?

Essential viewing... Used Cars. Hilarious film. Bob Zemeckis directed.

A personal favorite is Best of Times with Robin Williams. Not a great piece of cinema art but just loads of fun.

Backdraft is a great film and one of his best performances.

Tombstone.

Breakdown... Executive Decision... just about anything this guy does is worth watching.
