Brazil
Clockwork Orange
Goodfellas
Empire Strikes Back

And sorry but Deathproof was utter, utter mince!

[Roger Godpleton]

Ok I rethought the list and came up with this. THE OTHER LIST IS A LIE.

A New Hope
Three Colours trilogy (You wanna fight over it?)
Grave of the Fireflies
A Matter of Life and Death
For a Few Dollars More
The Exorcist
Hard Boiled
United 93 (I'll concede that it's a film you watch only once)
Akira
Oldboy

On the Death Proof I will say that Tarantino is a charlatan and anyone who likes his films is barred from my utopia.

[SamuelAWilkinson]

Fuck you all! This is the one true and accurate list:

M*A*S*H
12 Angry Men
Battle Royale
Brick
The Empire Strikes Back
Raiders of The Lost Ark
Wargames
Withnail & I
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Wayne's World 2

The Cross of Iron.

[Jim_Campbell]

Fuck, these sorts of list are difficult!

Spartacus
(Gotta have a Kubrick and it was this or Paths of Glory.)
Jaws
(Gotta have a Spielberg, and this has better characters than Raiders.)
Bladerunner - The Final Cut
(Gotta have a Ridley Scott and, although I very nearly picked Gladiator, how can you overlook the most influential SF movie of all time?)
Cyrano de Bergerac (1990 Depardieu version)
(Makes me weep. Every time.)
The Blues Brothers
(Gotta have a musical. It was this or West Side Story, and this has more car chases.)
The Incredibles
(Gotta have an animation, and this is also the best superhero movie made to date, with a fantastically un-PC subtext.)
LotR: The Return of the King
(Picked to represent the trilogy, this film redefined epic, and rocked on an industrial scale. The Last March of the Ents almost gave this slot to Two Towers, but the Siege of Gondor, the Oliphaunts, the Charge of the Rohirrim, Frodo and Sam's journey across Morder ... it's fucking fantastic.)
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
(Tough job to keep this to just one Western, but I'm being hard on myself ... if allowed more than one, I'd have Unforgiven and The Shootist in here, but ...)
Some Like It Hot
(Simply one of the most delightful comedies ever made. Monroe was never sexier, Lemmon never prissier, Curtis never funnier. It's a fantastic movie.)
Cape Fear (Original version)
(Mitchum cast against type turns in a performance of unbridled power, he slides down the evolutionary scale as the film progresses, all set against a persistent background aura of menace and unease.)

That's not a bad list. Take it before I change my mind!

Cheers

Further aaarghs here, I forgot all about Some Like It Hot, which has the twin advantages of being incredibly funny and achingly sexy.  Marylin is just magnificent in that movie, and marked the transition from my pre-pubescent adoration of Doris Day in Calamity Jane to my first proper movie crush.

How could any straight man not fall in love with ...

Oh my fuckin' word.

The Man who would be King

Balls! The Man Who Would Be King!

The fucking Man Who Would Be King ...

Now, that is a fantastic film. Kudos to you, sir.

Cheers!
