I cannot believe the thread made it to page 5 without anybody mentioning
The Shawshank Redemption. What's wrong with you?

EDIT: And Casablanca.

Look at what has been mentioned. Several pages of bad movies, and little more than a dozen decent films.

I get bored quickly watching the sort of swill that takes home most of the Oscars, but such films as like Godfather I and II, Apocalypse Now, Battleship Potemkin, Rashomon, The Searchers, Citizen Kane, grow better with repeated screenings.
Rashomon: probably the best one metioned yet
I 'll go with "burnt by the sun" though

Yeah, you're right. The majority of people wouldn't know good taste if it bit them.

I don't know. I have good taste - at least in women.

As a result of this thread, I have just added The Boondock Saints and Thank You For Smoking to my rental list. Neither if which I have seen yet. I hope they are good. 🙂

Thank You for Smoking is worth watching once or twice, but is not a classic.

Boondock Saints is funny if you are 14 and male, but lacks the depth of Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle.

Star Wars: A new hope.
Because it's my childhood.

My favourite directors would have to be Tarantino and the Coen brothers.
