They are well worth viewing :yep:

Falkirion 11-28-11 05:56 PM

Too many to name.

Star Wars (All 6 have their ups and downs, downs more prelevant in Ep 2)
Das Boot
LOTR
Avatar
Scott Pilgrim vs the World (Though I prefer the novels to the movie)
POTC Curse of the Black Pearl and Worlds end. DMC and FOY weren't as good.
Metal Gear Solid 3 (MGS is pretty much a movie in game form)
Terminator 2
Any movie by Kevin Smith (Mallrats, Clerks 1 & 2 etc)
Sin City
Predator

Can't think of anything else at the moment. I tend to watch more TV series and anime than movies.

My list needs to be broken down into periods of time and genres, since I have a lot of films that fall into those categories. I could sit here all day and do top ten lists of each genre etc so here is the abridged list if I were to end up on an island:

10. Halloween (John Carpenter's)
09. Dr. Strangelove
08. Best in Show
07. M*A*S*H
06. Seven Samurai
05. Slapshot
04. Unforgiven
03. North by Northwest.
02. Arsenic and Old Lace
01. Das Boot

Talking off the top of my head, in no particular order:

Natural Born Killers
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Castle in the Sky Laputa
The Ghost in the Shell
Hero (Zhang Yimou one)
A Clockwork Orange
2001: A Space Odyssey
three other movies the names of which escape me

Biggles 11-29-11 11:44 AM

Can't really come up with a good order, but here are some good movies in my opinion:

There Will Be Blood. Absolutely fantastic movie. One of few I honored with a second watch on the big screen.

Der Untergang. Some might know it as "Downfall", the movie about Hitler's last ten days in life. Great movie all the way through, and it led to one of my favorite internet memes: the Hitler Parodies! :D

Schindler's List. Incredibly moving, and utterly horrifying.

Up by Pixar. Great looking and amazing soundtrack, and thoroughly enjoyable.

Star Wars IV Very fond of Ep. IV, I love them all, but IV is special for me for some reason...

Watched The Blue Max last night.

It's about this german soldier (Stachel) who has served for two years in the infantry and transfers to
the Air Service in hopes to get the 20 kills required for the Pour le Mérite, he is
kinda like.. err.. whatshisface from Cross of Iron who's there just to get the medal.

Mmm... that's pretty much all I got out of it, fell asleep around the middle part.
The flying scenes were pretty nice, lots of WWI planes to look at. Oh and there's
this scene where Ursula Andress is showing a lot of sideboob action, so that
was good too. :yep:

Aaanywho, might be worth checking out if you're into WWI air war. :up:

Most of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I'd like to add Layer Cake and Drive to the list.

You need to read the book. The movie is fairly faithful until the end, which is vastly different, and much more horrifying.
