Yep! The World's Fastest Indian is brilliant. Anthony Hopkins is superb and you don't even have to like motorcycles to enjoy this movie.

As Mark says, anything Kurosawa....I already chose 2

Martin.

Fight Club
Donnie Darko
American Psycho
Last King of Scotland
Hotel Rwanda
Ghost World
Pan's Labyrinth
Natural Born Killers
American Beauty
Godfather trilogy

Ooh, yeah - Pan's Labyrinth is amazing.

Here are a couple of largely overlooked superb movies that I tend to keep watching over and over again on video.
Fat City--John Huston
Barton Fink--Coen Brothers

I suppose the movie that I rewatch the most--hundreds of times--is Carol Reed's The Third Man with Orson Welles. For me it is possibly the best movie ere made, if that description has any meaning, which I doubt

Someone recently recommended Last King of Scotland. Said it wasn't something they rent out. The son in law or someone did and it's awesome.

The Last King of Scotland is available for rent at Blockbusters.

Here's just a few in no particular order:
Planet of the Apes: The original from '68. How can you beat that Rod Serling penned ending.
Alien and Aliens
The Shawshank Redemption
The Green Mile
The Third Man
The Indiana Jones trilogy
Witness: Another Harrison Ford gem. The barn raising scene is fantastic as is the musical score
The Manchurian Candidate: The original from the early '60's. One of my favorite movies and a real period film. Everyone smokes!
The Birds: A great one by Hitchcock as well as another period film. Almost everyone smokes in this one too.
Shane: The scenery is gorgeous!! Probably the most realistic western in many respects. The "gunfighter escaping his past" story has been done many times but never this well.
Rear Window: Another great Hitchcock film
Psycho: Showering will never be the same.
The Hunt for Red October: A great submarine film
Hoosiers: A great sports movie and underdog tale. I am a bit biased on this one being a Hoosier. I was in the Hickory home gym a couple of weeks ago.
Breaking Away: A great "coming of age" film that was filmed and is set, in Bloomington, Indiana.
Star Wars Episodes 4, 5 and 6. The original films are just fun to watch.
If you like Star Trek, the Wrath of Khan (#2), The Undiscovered Country (#6) and First Contact (#8) are the best IMHO.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy
There are more...I just can't think of them right now.

The Green Mile

Now thats a must!!

A few from the list of movies that I own.

The Bad Seed
Best in Show
Blazing Saddles
Bubba Ho-Tep
A Clockwork Orange
Curse of the Were Rabbit
Dr. Strangelove
The Fisher King

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Repo Man
The Road Warrior
Run Lola Run

Young Frankenstein

Now there are some of my favorites that I forgot.
Blazing Saddles: "Mongo only pawn in game of life"...
Young Frankenstein:
etc, etc...
The Killer Klowns is so bad...its good.

Anyone seen Shooter yet? I dunno if it's worth renting.

Spinal Tap,
Is'nt that Meathead and the Amps that have ELEVEN on them?

Used Cars

Wow, first time I've seen that recommended. I loved it. Great movie to put on while you're on the treadmill.

Yes Tinman, the classic '11' scene.....
