Star Wars too. I know they're both old hat by now, but you gotta admit, they grabbed you when they first came out.

Richard Farnsworth, Sissy Spacek (she got a nomination for it) and DAvid Lynch, of all people,directing. A wonderful, quirky story of an old man and his tractor. One of my top ten of all time.
And no Lynch 'Dwarf' Deus Ex Machina here.
Lock, Stock is a great story line with a terrific ensemble of actors and best of all, kind of a sequel to "Snatch".

Esquire
Some of my favorites are:

Network - a timeless classic, every scene, every line has weight and meaning. Incredible acting. Played my DVD of it recently and was amazed how it still holds up.
Dr. Strangelove - another movie that just gets better with age.
The Godfather Parts 1 & 2 - 'nuff said!
Porky's - juvenile, inmature, childish and just plain fun!
Animal House - see Porky's.
High Plains Drifter - My favorite western.
The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy - epic filmaking, I never thought they would make as good as they turned out.
Forbiden Planet - 1950s sci-fi that still holds up. Check out a young Leslie Nielsen

Best regards, Ralph

The first "Alien" - because of the way it brought reality into science fiction
"Apocalypse Now" - because of the way it brought unreality into reality
"Raging Bull" - it couldn’t have been grittier
"The Natural" - truly epic themes of betrayal and redemption
"Citizen Kane" - because of the way it foreshadowed movie making for the next 50 years

"Unforgiven" - did for westerns what "Alien" did for sci-fi
