top 10 and honorable mention....more than you asked for but what the heck....

Outlaw Josey Wales [best scene of a tough guy swallowing a mouthful of tobacco because he's a tad afraid of the little old lady, and too many good lines to repeat...]

Patton [kicking ass all over Africa and Europe, and "I don't buy the same piece of real estate twice," or something to that effect]

The Exorcist [best of the genre...]

Raising Arizona [funniest movie in 25 years indeed]

Braveheart [freedom fighters in kilts...epic struggles]

The Passion of the Christ [the greatest story ever told, hands down]

Apocalypse Now [coolest soundtrack for a movie that explores the heart of darkness, so to speak]

Full Metal Jacket [Kubrick was good, no?]

Fight Club [a clever cautionary tale for anarchist sympathizers]

Hoosiers [the daydream of every short, slow, spectacularly untalented white gym rat]

Some heretofore unmentioned honorable mentions......

Texas Chainsaw Massacre [a dark twist on southern hospitality--the dinner scene has got to be the all time creepiest movie scene ever]

The Life of Brian [better than Holy Grail, IMO]

Papillion [I actually know the guy who has the big blue butterfly from the movie]

The Austin Powers Trilogy ['nuff said]
