')"Raging Bull" - DeNiro's best performance. Incredible movie.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Shawshank Redemption. Another great classic, one of the best of all time.
(In fact IMDB ranks it #2)

Submarine flicks tend to be great too. Nearly all of them.
-Das Boot
-Hunt for Red October
-U571
-K19 Widowmaker
-Crimson Tide

the oldies too:
-20,000 Leagues Under The Sea
-Enemy Below
-Torpedo Run

Braveheart
Shawshank Redemption

Bowfinger with Steve Martin & Eddie Murphy was hilarious

Dead Poets Society - Life changing for me when I saw it first aged 16.

Stop my ass is on fire with Azlea Anistasia gets an honourable mention.

The Field with Richard Harris (an Irish movie with global themes).

Aaron, that reminded me, how could I have forgotten:
The Life of Brian

I remember Fantastic Planet. It was basically, as I recall, a subtle protest against the rule of the Communist Party. I've ordered it and will watch it again. At least that was the way I interpreted it. The wiki article does mention the Cold War.

I was trying to think of "crimson tide " for my first list . Love the lipinzonner ? stallion exchange near the end . I remember fantastic planet , surreal but it's one of those that stays with you long after it's over. Young frankenstein / top shelf , I'm ashamed I forgot it . Raging bull and shawshank redemption also excellent , how about "the green mile ", "outlaw josie wales" and" jeremiah johnson" , "butch cassidy and the sundance kid" and "sneakers "while we're doing robert redford, " cool hand luke" and "thunderbolt and lightfoot" should get honorable mentions. can't believe no ones mentioned "soilent green " considering the nature of this website.Perhaps not a great movie but great subject matter.

Waking Life

Very strange animation style; philosophical type movie. Lots of pseudophilosophy and lots of bullshit but overall very interesting and unique.

[mmasters]

Yeah Waking Life ain't bad.

To add a new one to the thread I always liked this movie called The Eiger Sanction with Clint Eastwood. It's a goodie.

[Opies]

mmasters your avatar reminded me of my all time favorite movie
The Game
ohhhh such a good movie don't know if anyone mentioned it already but I'm sure not checking.

[Pretorian]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Nicholai', 'E')verything is Illuminated is amazing because it reminds me of my Ukrainian Grandparents and their funny foreign habbits.

[Pretorian]

Whats a point having enjoyable films anyway? If I really liked the movie, I remember any frase, any shot. Its boring to watch it again.

[jboogy]

A really good film is like a well-worn pair of cotton briefs to me , it gets more silky-smooth and easier to wear the more times you put it on . I'm working on being able to quote the terminator in it's entirety , jaws I pretty much know by heart "your going to ignore this particular problem until it swims up and bites you on the ass!" yummy , " that mr. Hooper is the U.S.S. indianapolis ", these movies are like a perfect chateaubriand , you slowly savor each and every bite and the week after you want the taste again.So what if you know how it ends , if you own a Rembrandt do you look at it only once? No , you look at it every day to hopefully detect a slight nuance of color or shading that you hadn't seen yet , or you look at it just because you enjoy looking at it , do you make love to a beautiful woman just once ? You explore each and every curve and crevice of her each time ,as if it were the first . Sure it won't match the first time , but you'll enjoy it just the same.
