Title says it all.
I'm a filmmaker, so I like to know these kind of things.

PLEASE be sure to say why you liked it!

If you can't settle on one, you may post up to three.
I'll post mine after I get a few replies here.

Monty Pyton, Life of Brian.
Snatch
Last of the Mohicans
Oh, and I have to throw in My Left foot and In the Name of the Father.
Monty is a classic, one of the most entertaining movies ever made!
Snatch is what an action movie should be.
Last of the Mohicans is moving on many levels.
The last two are well written and well acted. D D Lewis is an amazing actor.

James Bond films, because of cool weapons, good plot, and cool action.
The Last Samuri, the Patriot, because of a good historical fiction movie that has a good plot and good action.
Jaws, a movie about a gaint shark, self explanatory
Andicondas, one of those movies on TV late at night when I'm going to bed and I get so freaked out because I hate snakes, but I can't turn away from the TV or change channels.
Those are some of the movies I like and why.
I also like comedy because well I like to laugh.

1. Beetlejuice... I don't know why I love it so much... when I was little I had to watch either that or Chucky every single night before bed... yeah, my mom let me watch chucky when I was little haha I still love scary movies!
2. Amelie... I just think it's a cute movie.
3. Run Lola Run... for the Mise-en-scène haha j/k, but I had to do that in film class.... I think it's a cool movie.

The Matrix, I liked the story behind it and in a strange way wonder if may relate to this life.
Maybe the subconscious world is real and we are living in the matrix.

Indeed.
Gangs of New York #1 in my book.
Best scene- opening sequence with the drill instructor in Full Metal Jacket.

the orgininal Batman with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. Wasn't cheasey like the later ones became, had some great lines: This town needs an enema, think about the future, my balloons my balloons! (i can probably do the dialog along with the movie)
Tombstone: great cast, great story, and gets you into the movie with a pretty good story.
Jurassic Park (original one) had some good action and great graphics.
