I feel like every Sam Rockwell fan absolutely needs to see Moon and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. These are some of his very best performances.

I would also highly recommend The Way Way Back, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Seven Psychopaths, Choke, and Snow Angels.

I highly recommend
Galaxy Quest - very funny role, imo he steals every scene he's in
Moon

also recommend
Iron Man 2
The way way back
edit - in the meantime I saw Laggies, which is a nice little movie, also recommended.

Choke - Just.Watch.It. His sexiest and most romantic role. A great quirky film.
Seven Psychopaths - Amazing movie, hilarious scenes, weird characters, superb cast, nice music: a must watch.
Welcome To Collinwood - Another remarkable comedy with an equally good cast.
Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind - Great acting (and dancing) from Sam in this otherwise average Clooney film.
Better Living Through Chemistry - Not that good, mildly funny with plenty of sex scenes, Sam makes it better.
The Way Way Back - I did not like the movie at all, however Sam's hilarious character makes up for it.
Moon - Again not one of my favourites, the best part is Sam's excellent acting.
Snow Angels - Far from enjoyable, but Sam is flawless in this very solid and serious role.
Conviction - Another no-comedy role, a rather bland film with the usual compelling acting from Sam.
Iron Man 2 - As awful as those flicks are, Sam's parts are worth it.
Clownhouse - Little obscure horror film, the young Sam has a very small but memorable part (and he sings!).

I can't believe nobody on this thread mentioned 'Box of Moonlight'.

Its easily one of SR's finest films, and my favorite role of his.
