Gladiator
Ronin
Black Rain
Jaws
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Ben Hur
Doctor Zhivago
Shakespeare in Love
Enemy at the Gates

Last Of The Mohicans has some absolutely stunning visuals and some brilliant music.

The look on Johdie May's face just before she jumps is etched permanently in my memory - a great piece of acting.

4 of the tracks are on my iPod and come up on the most played list.

(katoeylover @ Mar. 31 2008,18:57) anything with Julia Roberts - i know, i am a sad git!

Yep!...... sad git

RR.


Must admit I quite fancied her when she had hairy armpits.

Was she in a movie with hairy armpits? I'd like to see that.

I gotta agree with Buttafly about Apocalypse Now.
I've seen it 40 or 50 times in the original version and the Redux twice. I had a copy of the original screenplay, the theater poster and lobby cards and the soundtrack on vinyl. I know every line in the original version before they say it.

My #2 movie is also a slam dunk for me and that would be The Wild Bunch. Best western ever made IMO.
Basically anything directed by Sam Peckinpah is something to me that is worth watching more than once.
#3 would be another movie by Sam, and that is Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.
The rest of my top ten in no particular order:

Sling Blade
Breaker Morant
The Crying Game
Angel Heart
Pulp Fiction
The Great Raid
The Quiet American (2nd version only)

[kahuna]

Lost in Translation
Stand By Me
The Bourne Series
Bullitt
A Knight's Tale
The Terminal
Cast Away
Spy Game
Pulp Fiction
Assassination Tango


The list goes on and on...

[Looker]

To some of the movies some of you have already mentioned, I like to add some oldies:

The Last Emperor, great in everything
Barry Lyndon, because it was the first ever movie I saw it all alone by myslef
The Casanova by Fellini, almost for the above reason and on the top of it it was forbidden to the minor of 14 y.o., and I wasn't 14 y.o. yet
The Green Mile, quite touching
Wall Street, makes you understand that 'Greed is good and (sometimes) works'
Few others.....

[mirimark]

The Last Samuri.
Shawshank Redemption.
Saving Private Ryan.
Deer Hunter.
Vanilla Sky.
A.I.  ( Artificial Intelligence. )
Planet of the Apes.
Wizard Of Oz.
Lord of the Rings.  (trilogy)
South Park fregg'n ROCKS !

These Movies I could watch over and over again.
