Labyrinth by Jim Henson, always been a favourite, if not my fave movie of all time. I also love The Goonies, The Dark Crystal, Blade Runner (who doesn't), The Witches/Witches (the one with Mr Bean in it), and this awesome movie called Monster Squad where these kids fight off a vampire, a werewolf and other weird things. Havnt seen it for years, its an 80's movie.

OMG Monster Squad... "Kick Him In The Balls"
Love that movie growing up.

I'd say the first time I watched The Usual Suspects was maybe the greatest cinematic day of my life.
 
Before Sunset
Taxi Driver
Dream catchers
the Shining
Adaptation

EDIT: OLDBOY

I don't know I've been sitting here for twenty minutes trying to decide lol

Hard to choose one. Too many influences. But I'd say Breaking The Waves is hard to beat for the kind of transcendental experience I cherish and rarely find in movies.

Does it have great camera angles, a great storyline or is it just a good film?

My favourite film has to be Beetlejuice (director Tim Burton) it doesn't have the greatest special effects in the world, but I think it has humour to it and I find the darkness and gothic style to the film fantastic.

I hear you man. Hilarious movie.

But Purple Rain has stood the test of time for me. I guess it was the the times in which I 1st saw it but the music and the performances were insane. Don't hit me over the head about the acting. It was not a God Father 2 or even a Usual Suspects. For me the music and performances were just perfect. One of the reasons I love shooting live performances so often.

wow...thought i was the only one who liked that movie. but Before Sunrise is what makes "part 2"

that movie is a lesson in how dialogue sets the pace. i could never listen and watch 2 people talk like i could for those movies.

in fact, if you're into the premise of Before Sunrise/Sunset, check out "Same Time, Next Year" with Alan Alda from 1978.

and speaking of quick dialogue films, "Seems Like Old Times" with Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn is a favorite of mine.

Yeah, I love those movies. Richard Linklater is a great filmmaker. You ever see Tape? Thats another good dialogue-driven film.

I remember first watching it (on a 13-inch black and white TV) when I was a kid like it was yesterday.

No one has mentioned Take the Money and Run.
Gub.
The slice of salami in the wallet.
Cello in the marching band.
 
The Birds

I've been in love with this movie since the first time I saw it, back in the mid-1960s when it was first broadcast on TV. To me, this is definitely Hitchcock's masterpiece, and comes closest to his ideal of "pure cinema" (especially the last 20 minutes, which could be taken as a complete silent short by itself). The dolly shots are superb.

This one just has to get a new high-def transfer and come out on Blu-ray. I recently got a new 50" plasma, and the DVD (which looked fine on my 32" CRT) is perfectly horrid.
 
Casablanca - for the dueling-anthems scene, Watch am Rhine versus La Marseillaise. Still brings me to my feet, every time. The rest of the film is damned near perfect, too.
 
I used to say Raiders of the Lost Ark, but I've seen it too many damn times to really get much joy out of it anymore. I find the older I get the lest interested I've become in seeing films over and over again. Even if I see a new film I really like, I'll see it maybe one or two more times and that's it.
