All of Tarantino's movies are like that. Huge sections of calm, then incredibly violent action. My favorite of his is Kill Bill, Vol. 1 (which is also amongst my favorite movies).
And I agree with people about The Shining being awesome. Kubrick's best movies are the best movies ever, but some of his stuff I don't like at all (like A Clockwork Orange, which most people think is weird).
Also awesome: Blade Runner (The Final Cut) and The Evil Dead trilogy.
Pictures!
