Alien
Blade Runner
Alien and Blade Runner are ultimate classics. I had to wiki Wages of Fear. I just put it on my queue. I did see the remake, however (Sorcerer).
Here are a few I liked off the top of my head.
Gummo
Mulholland Drive
Zardoz
Excalibur
Donnie Darko
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Lord of the Rings.
2001:A Space Odyssey
Clint Eastwood westerns
Tarantino flicks
Chinese kung-fu flicks
I love sci-fi and fantasy but 99% of all movies of the sort are crap.
The new Casino Royale was pretty good.
That movie made the little sensor in my brain that love cute things just short out. Adorable movie. "Define: Dancing." D'awwwww.Just watched WALL-E last night, and even though its a kid movie, I enjoyed it very much. Definately one of my favorite Pixar movies.
Yeah, I might sound like a little kid saying this, but I'll never get tired of Pixar. The story lines are great, the humor and the animation are top notch. IMO, it's much better than DreamWorks animations.That movie made the little sensor in my brain that love cute things just short out. Adorable movie. "Define: Dancing."

Aside from that, what I like about WALL-E is that WALL-E is beat up the whole movie, and it's played for laughs. It works, you laugh at him getting thrown, electrocuted, burned, etc., because he just gets up and comes back for more. But then near the end, he gets hurt badly, and suddenly, it was never funny at all.
Aliens
.Aliens 1 and 2
This weekend I bought all four Alien DVD movies at about $6 each.
When I watched Aliens, it was amazing to see the added footage! Never knew about it and that it was added into the movie.
The colonist footage was interesting, but I could have done without.
The robot sentries footage was a shock!
The game Space Hulk seems to have been inspired a lot by Aliens. Wonder if the Overwatch mechanic was partly based on the robot sentries in the film? Was that footage available or known back then?
You don't need to worry about sounding like a kid, ABOM. The desire to sound grown-up on these matters is a childish notion, I think. And I also think that everybody will say that Pixar, as a whole, is better than Dreamworks, really.

I find myself watching HBO's Band of Brothers a lot. It's probably my most watched set of DVD's. Not truly a movie, but I think it qualifies.
OK, my top ten, in no particular order...
The Empire Strikes Back (actually, this one is probably my favorite)
The Two Towers (despite departures from the book, easily the best of the LotR films)
Spiderman 2 (Doc Ock gets my vote for best movie supervillain ever)
The Big Lebowski (my favorite Jeff Bridges role of all time)
The Cowboys (one of the Duke's better performances...and the climax is a bunch of kids carrying rifles...try to make that movie post-Columbine!)
Tombstone (best 'modern' western, period)
Spaced Invaders (a cherished childhood memory...a must watch!)
Toy Story 3 (who would've thought Buzz and Woody could evoke an emotional response!)
The Longest Yard (original Burt Reynolds version)
Back to the Future (any of them)
An honorable mention goes to Captain America, which, to me, is right up there with Iron Man in regard to the kind of quality comic book-translations we've seen since Marvel took over production of their own properties in cinema. I can't wait for Fox and Sony's licenses to expire!
Yeah, my friends and I sometimes lock others out of the house when they step out to smoke, then demand a movie quote (from a specific movie, chosen at the moment the door is shut) to regain entry. Tombstone is one of the most common (and easiest) to pull quotes from.Tombstone has some of the best quotes of all time
