1. Gothic 2 (especially for people who care about "atmosphere" - hi people who have already said Deus Ex, it's a totally different atmosphere but it's worth the barrier of entry). It does have a high barrier of entry (some kind of bad controls, a few bugs, some dated graphics, ideally having played through Gothic 1) but that's why I'd put it on a list to force people to experience. Once you commit, it's incredible.

2. Oh who cares I already listed the important one.

Also, I don't think listing stuff like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Final Fantasy 7 and X, or any other massively appreciated media is a very good choice. People have already seen/read/etc them, and they certainly aren't under-appreciated. People typically already give them "a fair shot."
