I'm sure this has been asked, but not for a long time, so it's high time we have it again. Here are mine:
the Lion in Winter (the 1968 version--best dialogue ever)
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (perfect)
Apocalypse Now (wild, primal, wide-eyed)
American Beauty (has an uncanny mood impossible to describe)
Dangerous Liaisons (wonderfully amoral)
Midnight Cowboy
Dazed and Confused
Rob Roy
the Libertine (not widely seen, but Johnny Depp's best performance)
Last Tango in Paris
Sophie's Choice
the Lord of the Rings (all three: like epic poetry filmed)
Anne of the Thousand Days
Pulp Fiction
Howards End
Fight Club
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Raging Bull
Taxi Driver
the Deer Hunter
the Reader (reveals the moral ambiguity everywhere, even in the Holocaust)
Apt Pupil
Almost Famous
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Harold and Maude
Trainspotting
A Christmas Carol (the 1951 version; I see it every Christmas Eve and glow inside)
Easy Rider
the Rocky Horror Picture Show
...to name a few.

I came across this one on Netflix. Its from the 70s, and the first time I saw it years ago, I laughed my ass off at parts. Its called California Split with George Segal, Elliot Gould, Paul Prentiss, and some actors of today you will recognize playing bit parts even back them. The story line is about two gamblers and a few days in their life. :thumbsup::stoned:

Trainspotting. I saw it a few years back on cable. Now got the Collector's Edition tonight. Its about some British heroin addicts, their friends, and their trials and tribulations. Its from 1996. I give it four stars. :S2:
