Yet again, both Alien and Aliens. Seriously, those two movies were badass. Also, though, the again-previously-noted 12 Angry Men, and of course Casablanca.

And possibly Pixar's WALL-E. I am still shocked by how good that movie was.

 

[Private Custard]

Some war films

Platoon
Saving Private Ryan
The Thin Red Line
The Deer Hunter

EDIT: And for the pure 'what the fuck' value, Existenz.

 

[Trivun]

Baz Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet
Apocalypse Now
Black Hawk Down
Defiance
United 93
Scott Pilgrim
Citizen Kane
Strangers On A Train

[small]Important note, when it comes to Apocalypse Now there are two versions, the original cut and the Redux version which is much, much longer (adds more time than Peter Jackson did with the extended edition of Return Of The King). The Redux version is the one that I saw, which was brilliant, though it erred a bit on the 'too long' side for me. It's important therefore to make a careful choice on which version to watch when you decide to watch it...[/small]
