Fight Club. Great movie.
And watch The Machinist immediately afterwards. The order of watching is important.
That should make for some good movie-watching.

Here are three that I absolutely love.
1. The Third Man. It's a perfect example of film noir, with a great sense of time and place, moody visuals, and awesome performances from all actors involved.
2. Once Upon a Time in the West, and
3. Once Upon a Time in America. I put these two together because they're made by the same director, Sergio Leone, whom you may know as the director of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. The Once Upon a Time films are unrelated to each other, but they're both great. But I'll warn you that they are LOOOOOOONG (165 and 229 minutes, respectively)! Still, if you can sit through them, they're really rewarding.

Slavoj Zizeks documentary is in itself worth watching, espicially if you're interested in psychology.
Classics mentioned include David Lynch's Lost Highway and even go right back to Three Stooges. I particularly curious to see Charlie Chaplin in The Great Dictator.

A lot of people have mentioned Kubrick, but no one's mentioned his Paths of Glory yet. It's an earlier one (1957) set in World War I with Kirk Douglas. It's really, really good.
As for horror classics, I can't recommend John Carpenter's The Thing highly enough.
