Wow, that's a lot of movies to nail down, but off the top of my head...(I'm sure I forgot several and will resist the urge to edit)
- The Godfather (Set the standard)
- The Godfather II (Improved on the standard)
- Goodfellas (has it all)
- Raging Bull (Godfellas was great, but this was DeNiro and Pesci at their best)
- Dog Day Afternoon (Attica! Attica! Attica!)
- The Empire Strikes Back (ah, childhood)
- Star Wars: A New Hope (ah, childhood part deux)
- There Will Be Blood (DDL is out of his mind)
- The Big Lebowski ("What are you now? A [censored]ing park ranger?!?", Walter Sobcheck is one of the funniest characters in cinematic history)
- O Brother Where Art Thou (Such a cool movie)
- Rocky (Best "feelgood" movie ever)
- Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas (Come on, it's HST and Depp nails it)
- Donnie Brasco (never would've guessed Depp and Pacino would make such a great onscreen duo)
- Matchstick Men (Nic Cage is really hit-or-miss, but I love this movie)
- Gladiator (if this movie doesn't get your blood pumping, uh...buy a blood pumping machine)
- Grosse Point Blank (Cool movie...awesome soundtrack)
- High Fidelity (Cusack very easy to identify with)
- Rushmore (such a great script)
- The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou ("Son of a bitch, I'm sick of these dolphins."...Bill Murray is a genius)
- Wonderboys (I'm a big Michael Chabon fan and this is a great adaptation)
- Tombstone (filled with great quotes and Kilmer's Doc Holliday is one of my favorite movie characters ever.)
- Dazed and Confused ("Alright, alright, alright!")
- Glengarry Glen Ross (Great cast, under-appreciated flick)
- Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (Was blown away when I first saw this)
- Forrest Gump (It's [censored]ing Forrest Gump)
- Requiem For A Dream (Dark, creepy, the best anti-drug message money can buy)
