Uncle Buck-It's just a great movie
Fast times at Ridgemont High-Sean penns best performance,don't even try to argue otherwise you're wrong period.
Mr.Smith goes to Washington-one of the best performances I've ever seen.
Citizen Kane-I love Orson Welles
The Outlaw Josey Wales-Clint Eastwood being a badass
Gran Torino-Clint Eastwood being an old racist badass
Shawshank Redemption-Doesn't need any elaboration
Most Bond films-To many vie for a top position so I'm just going to say most of the films
The Departed-This movie got me watching actual good movies
The Godfather-Marlon Brando doing what every actor wish he could do.
Patton-One of the greatest American films ever made and George C. Scott's performance should be lauded as one of the best.

Argh....as much as I love talking about movies I hate having to pick a definitive list. I'll give it my best...

1--Watchmen-- A near perfect adaptation of a groundbreaking graphic novel that deals with the stereotypes of heroism and identity in the most interesting and scarily accurate ways.

2--Fight Club-- Sorry but I'm not supposed to talk about it.

3-- Scott Pilgrim Vs The World-- A bold an colorful film that took a plunge and used videogame references as clever metaphors that speak volumes about life, love, and self-identity

4--Sin City-- Four out of four entrances so far adapted from the pages of a book, comic or graphic novel, I guess good adaptations ARE possible. Anyway, Sin City is the perfect example of something that exists purely within its own world for the sake of nothing but itself, and comes out a shining beacon of excellennt filmmaking, storytelling, acting, visuals, and Jessica Albas backside.

5--Terminator 2: Judgment Day-- Oh come on you really expect any sort of reason as to why this movie is freaking awesome? Two words: "Mini" and "Gun".

6--The Lord of The Rings Trilogy. A masterpiece of technical filmmaking, and also taught me how to do a sweet Gollum impression that freaks out all my freinds.

7--Aliens-- The feeling of the Alien Queen breathing down my neck still haunts my nightmares to this very day, and it takes an exceptional film to create a monster that can do that.

8--The Dark Knight-- Batman Begins set us up, and The Dark Knight knocked us down. Breathing life into what many thought was a dead and stupid franchise, this movie is fantastic in any department you care to name.

9--Ong Bak-- Proved in spectacular fashion that the realm of action stars who didnt need wires and guns to look cool and blow your mind was still alive and kicking. Kicking hard. In the face.

10--Forrest Gump-- Tom Hanks can make anything watchable, and while I was tempted to put Saving Private Ryan or The Green Mile, I decided that the movie that would have DIED without his performance best represents the mans talents.

The Matrix

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

OK, I'll give this a shot. In no particular order:

Memento: The movie. Is backwards. That's just awesome.
Batman Begins: Looking back....I think I enjoyed this more then The Dark Knight. Maybe. I know I'm in the minority on this one, but...Fuck it, that movie kicked ass. Great origin story, with about 10 thousand different metaphors and recurring symbols skillfully woven in to the fabric of the whole movie.
Inception: Well, among (lot's of) other things, THEY BUILT A SPINNING HALLWAY. Again, that's just awesome. (Gee, AM I Christopher Nolan fanboy? I hadn't noticed.)
The Prestige:The movie is set up like a giant magic trick, which is awesome. Plus, he does really cool things with respect to the two main leads, which I won't spoil here. But it's really fucking cool.
The Dark Knight: Mainly because it's very well-written and Heath Ledger is was a badass.
V For Vendetta: Brilliantly written and executed. V is one of the best characters of all time. And I'm always a fan of Natalie Portman.
Toy Story 3:Oh, you know. It's fucking Pixar. Plus, I actually went to college about a month after seeing this movie, so this movie was basically MADE for me and people my age. And I appreciate that.
District 9:Blistering action, great characters(the Prawn beat the SHIT out of the Navi.) and deep political undertones. Seriously, where the fuck is "District 10"? TELL me you wouldn't watch that.
Black Swan: Very, VERY well done movie. Natalie Portman's best performance ever, and...well, come on. She makes out with Mila Kunis. It had to be said. Seriously, though, great movie.
Gangs of New York: BILL. THE MOTHERFUCKING. BUTCHER. Seriously, go watch this movie. It's one of the most epic things I've ever seen. You will NOT regret it.

Honorable Mentions go to:
Moon
The Simpsons Movie
2001: A Space Odyssey
Insomnia
Full Metal Jacket
Die Hard 1
Die Hard 4
A Beautiful Mind
Signs (Yes, Signs)
