Hey guys! It's the obligatory "Favorite Movies" topic!

This is a thread where you post a list of some of your favorite movies! If you're really ambitious, post a link to the trailer!

That was a very obvious statement!

Some of mine include:
Chungking Express (my de facto favorite film for nearly five years now. I have yet to come across another film I adore quite as much.)
Ugetsu
Magnolia
Peking Opera Blues (my favorite "commercial" film. A lot of fun.)
The 400 Blows
The Host (Works well as a tense monster movie, biting social satire, and moving family drama.)
Apocalypse Now (A lot of people dislike the ending of this film, but I'm not really bothered at all by it.)
Goodfellas
Trainspotting (My favorite dialogue-driven film.)
Love Exposure (not posting a link to this trailer due to some mildly-explicit images. Believe me, you should really watch this movie. Track down the trailer, but don't watch the English-subtitled version. Gives away too much of the plot.)
Playtime (You will literally observe the world around differently for the rest of the day after you watch this movie)
Linda Linda Linda (Proof that you can't really judge a movie by its plot description)
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Tokyo Story
Pulp Fiction
The Godfather
Taxi Driver
Raging Bull
Citizen Kane (Not just saying that for cred. It really is a spectacular film.)
What Time is it There?
Days of Being Wild
Once Upon a Time in China II
Hard Boiled (seriously the best "shoot 'em up" action movie of all time. Was the inspiration for the video game Stranglehold.)
In the Mood for Love (ranked by review aggregate They Shoot Pictures, Don't They as the most critically acclaimed film of the 21st century so far.)
Seven Samurai

Also, I can't forget my #1 Super Guilty Pleasure:
The Twins Effect

This topic needs some "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".
Honestly, I mostly watch stupid movies, like that and "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World".
Although I watched the Terminator recently and it was awesome.

I actually thought Scott Pilgrim was a rather clever movie. There's a lot of neat little things hidden in the details.

Also, I forgot the mention the Vengeance Trilogy: Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, and especially Lady Vengeance.

Also, Perfect Blue and Millennium Actress.

I don't watch many movies, and I'm horrible at picking favorites. The only things I can say for sure are just famous movies that near-everyone likes, such as Star Wars or the Harry Potter adaptations.

Pulp Fiction
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Groundhog Day
Clerks
Saving Private Ryan
Die Hard
Up
The Princess Bride
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Star Wars
(original trilogy obvs.)
Back to the Future

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and The Social Network are quickly becoming two of my favorites as well, but I'll give them a little longer to wait and get onto the list.
