Here you can post the best movies you've ever seen, you know - the ones which are in your top 10/20/30 of all time. I'm doing this topic cause I'm running out of ideas on what to watch. There's just one catch though - if somebody else mentioned the movie - dont mention it yourself. Here's just a couple of mine from the top of my head:

Lucky Number Slevin
Fight Club
Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
Heat
Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas
Monty Python's
Closer
The Salton Sea
etc...

Keep this one alive

...more to come.

Have you seen 28 Days Later? I think that one was better! The zombie-like people are even more aggressive and violent, and somewhat realistic.

Although it's not officially out on DVD yet, I HIGHLY recommend in "The Kingdom" in whatever format medium as it does one of the best portrayals so far of the complicated diplomatic relationship America has with Saudi Arabia in regards to Mid-Eastern oil dependency. The last 30 minutes is one of the most intense AS FUCK sequences in movies I have seen since the beginning of Saving Private Ryan. For those that have seen it, they know what I'm talking about.

Aside from that and the stuff that's already been listed...

@ Deviant_Tech: Can you tell me why I should watch 300? I'm not a graphics fan and I dislike action over story.

Some from the top of my movie buff head and others from IMDB.

Because it's badassed. Simple as that.

But, for you, I guess I'd suggest such terrific stories as Brokeback Mountain and The Crying Game .
