Not necessarily in this order:
 
Bladerunner - because of the most charming female character ever
Dom za vjesanje (Time of the Gypsies) - the only movie where you can feel magic
Smoke - cigarettes taste so good while watching this movie
Oldboy - breaking the standards
Akira - best anime ever
Hotaru no haka - it made me cry, I only watched it once because of that (sniff)
Mediterraneo - because the place where the story happens is like heaven on earth
El laberinto del Fauno - best fairytale
Brahm Stoker's Dracula - best lovestory (except for the terrible actor Keanu Reeves)
Chungking Express - another best lovestory
Leon the Professional - I don't like modern French movies, but this one is excellent
De fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulain - even better than Leon
The Departed - this is how american movies should be today
I Kina spiser de Hunde - Danish lol
Nattevagten - Danish lol
Amarcord - Italian lol
Abre los ojos - ( The original Vanilla Sky)
Forrest Gump - great insight in the modern American history
 
 
 
 

I'll second Night of the Living Dead. Anything with zombies freaks me the f**k out. I know I'll probably get made fun of for this, but I really liked The Others. I must have seen that movie twenty times and every time its on, I have to watch it. As for Forrest Gump, God, I refuse to watch that movie. I couldn't keep a dry eye even if I tried. I alway's find myself Ballin' by the time it ends. It's embarrassing.

Silence of the Lambs, Manhunter, Hannibal, Hannibal Rising
American Gangster
Dr. No, Man With the Golden Gun, View to a Kill, Live and Let Die, Goldfinger
Legend
Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien Resurrection (I used to dislike Alien 3 until I watched all the "bonus material" on the DVD - learning about it made me appreciate moreso, since there was so much info they cut out. The "wooden planet" was a really awesome idea, too bad it wasn't practical)
Predator, Predator 2 (no I haven't and refuse to watch the versus movies thanks)
Akira (is pretty awesome, I wish I could see the subbed version)
Airplane!
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back (I think AT-AT's are the coolest thing for some reason)
..I'm probably forgetting some, oh well

I left those out for some reason, probably because like the movies listed in my second post, they are not favorites. Still, I like them lots (Alien Resurrection in particular. Maybe because Winona Rider[sic?] was a robot, and weapon equiped wheelchairs.)

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
 
Purely for how bad it is.

I hate Forrest Gump.I think it's a horribly overrated, emotional manipulative movie with a hidden agenda.My favorite movies are Radio and Patch Adams.

Videodrome
Eraserhead
Blue Velvet
Blade Runner
Holy Mountain
Network
Amelie
Good the bad and the Ugly
Ghost in the shell
2001
Fear and Loathing in las vegas
Brazil
Ikiru
Suspiria

How about Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension?  A personal favorite of mine if we are talking about "so bad it's good."

You mean comic? Also, Cameron seems competent enough, and movies about robots are something he seems familiar with, so I'd say he's got a better chance then others.

Alien was good, but Aliens felt like the next step. In my opinion, who cares if the Alita movie turns out not to fan expectations? Nothing changes really. Its not like you animus and mangos will catch fire if you watch it, leaving you with nothing but a movie that "didn't do it the way I wanted them to do it."

Quote from Angel Heart on 06/07/08 at 21:54:30:

 
Forrest Gump represents Christian Conservatism and Jenny Curran represents the counterculture of the 1960s.The movie shows that living by faith and following others without question is better than thinking for yourself and questioning authority.Forrest, a Christian who follows a very conservative lifestyle and obeys what others said to him ends up a billionaire with a lot of friends and a national war hero.   While Jenny, a hippie, embraced countercultural values and look what happens to her, she gets abused, becomes homeless for awhile, has humiliating jobs and died of AIDS. LOL
 
Oh and I was joking about my favorite movies being Radio and Patch Adams...those two movies are thrash.  

Alright, there are plenty of dirty, homeless and disease-ridden hippies.But, how is it that a retarded guy becomes a Vietnam war hero, national ping-pong champion, John Lennon's muse and the CEO of a large shrimping boat company by blindly following the advice of others no matter how stupid it might be.Forrest is a model Christian who is completely dependent on others giving him orders and lives a happy, successful life.While Jenny, someone whose cultural values deviant from the norm, thinks for herself and is independent becomes a druggie and dies an early death.

 So, how much time do you have on your hands to piece all of that together? Also, some other favorite movies are Talledega Nights, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Spawn, Star Wars and The Batman movies. 30 Days of Night was okay too

Not really. I've got plenty of ex-hippies in my family. They all settled down into a snug middle/upper class existence after 5 or 6 years of rebeling. Everyone sells out in the end.
 
Forest gump is crap though. Movies like Fear and Loathing, Chicago 10, Steal this movie, Easy Rider etc are so much better.
