h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Ok I know there is an official list, but I was wondering what movies people like. We seem to have a fairly diverse population on h2g2. I am a fan of war movies, comedy and a few others for flavor. These are some of my picks, what are yours?
Braveheart
Patton
Run Silent, Run Deep
Das Boot
Heartbreak Ridge
Grose Point Blank
Radioland Murders
PCU
Animal House
Kelly's Heros
any Warren Miller film
Good Morning Vietnam

I too have varies tastes when it comes to movies, I personally prefer action/adventure , horror and sci fi but that can cover all the other genres comedy scifi etc... you know how it goes!! LOL
Anyway... here are my fave movies:

Gladiator
Deep Rising
Proof of Life
Spaceballs
Independence Day
Maverick (both versions)
The Dirty Dozen (all four of them!! I know, I know)
Ice Station Zebra
Hellraiser
Magnificent Seven
Alien

Both of you guys have listed some pretty damn fine movies. Being an avid 'movie buff' I had to check out what H2G2 had to say about movies, and so far haven't found much. Now, this may not be the best forum for this, but recently a buddy of mine handed me a movie and said 'you MUST WATCH this film' the tile of the movie 'Chopper' dint' really appeal to me and netiher - on first reading the reviews -did the subject matter - some australian criminal.

However, I stuck with with, and at the end of the movie was 'blown away'. If you liked Lock, stock and 2 smoking barrels, you'll love this film. It's slow to start, but stick with it and I can practically guarantee that the day after you've watched it, you will be glad that you did.

The Cider House Rules
McCabe and Mrs Miller (esp for Leonard Cohen's soundtrack-very apt)
Most of those directed by Clint Eastwood
Original Night of the Living Dead - esp the way it starts right into the story with the zombie in the graveyard.
Big hand for the Little Lady (Henry Fonda/Joanne Woodward)
The Man who Shot Liberty Valance
The Conversation (Gene Hackman)
