One flew over the cuckoo's nest. It's got Jack Nicholson in it, who also starred in Kubrick's The Shining and Batman. The movie's about a guy who gets put into a mental hospital because of a crime he had committed. He makes some friends and tries to go against that evil nurse. I won't say anymore, in case I spoil it.
Seen Dr. Strangelove and Cuckoo's Nest (for Kubrick for both and Nicholson in Cuckoo's Nest), and loved the Shining also. I've also seen the Graduate and Good Morning Vietnam. If possible, what does BoB stand for (can't decipher the acronym at this moment)?

Heard about Sunshine, but didn't see it yet. I did get around to seeing 28 Days Later after watching Slumdog and thought it was great.

How about The Iron Giant?

The movie is my favorite animated film ever.
I saw it a while ago but haven't seen it recently. I'll go back and watch it again when I get a chance to see it in a different way.

I've seen a lot of those, but not Butterflies are Free, Wall Street (another I've wanted to see), Platoon, Bandits, Four Weddings and a Funeral (another I've planned on seeing), or Body Heat.

You absolutely have to see Body Heat at some point in your life.

Saw Sunshine and Lebowski, but haven't heard of Wristcutters. But I looked it up and it looks pretty interesting.

I just looked it up and it looks like it's definitely worth it. I'll put it near the top of my list of movies to see.

I've seen all the original Alien movies and the first Predator. And yes, everything Monty Python is exactly how comedy should be.

The Ruin (Or Ruins)
I really hope that isn't the movie I'm thinking of...

Where they were getting killed by a plant

If so, that is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

OT: Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Run Fat Boy Run are hilarious.

Saw the ones directed by Wright, but didn't see Fat Boy yet. I know that Pegg's in it so I'll see it at some point.

Hahaha oh right, Oldboy. Not THE Old Boy :p My misstake. Le Grand Bleu is a french movie with Jean Reno and a couple of others. Personally this movie fucked me up. It's beauty and meaning is just too powerful for someone as weak as me :p No but seriously it's one of those movies that just leaves you hating and loving life at the same time.

Oh and Darjeeling Limited. Feel good movie at its best :D
Le Grand Bleu sounds like it's worth it. I'll check in to it. And I heard about Darjeeling, but didn't get around to seeing it.

A Scanner Darkly
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Johnny Got His Gun (This may not be as good as I think. I heavily associate it with One)
[HEADING=1]The 36 Chambers of Shaolin[/HEADING]
The Devil's Rejects

Now, some of you may disagree with me on that last point. You are wrong. That is all.

There are many more good movies I know of but I'm busy watching television and engaging in internet-aided vandalism

The Shawshank Redemption... that movie is made of fucking win. Seriously, see it if you haven't.
Yea, awesome movie indeed. Also, a movie I think has been forgotten... Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I mean, come on. The book is fucking amazing, and the movie is fucking amazing too. The games mostly suck, but the movie is so awesome. Even if you have watched it, rewatch it right now. Really.

Two very different suggestions:

The Departed: This is as good as gangster movies get. The Godfather is probably better, but that's where I think I'd have to go for comparison. Watch this for absolutely masterpiece filmmaking at all levels by Martin Scorsese.

Annie Hall: This is classic Woody Allen. This movie continues to influence the romantic comedy genre, but nothing has ever been this good since (in this genre). It's extremely funny, original, and has genuine depth and mature reflection about the nature of romantic relationships.

The Hurt Locker came out on DVD just yesterday actually and it is the best war movie I have ever seen in my life.
I'll second that one. I'm not sure it's the best, but it is very, very good.
