I thought this would be an interesting thing to do to see how similar the taste of us browncoats is. I excluded Serenity because it's an obvious one. Now, here are my faves (and this was tough):
1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movies: I know this is lame, but I grew up with these movies and can't help it. Plus, they're such fast, funny, great action flicks.
2. Inuyasha movies: I am a big fan of this Japanese anime because it's got all the elements of a good story, and the movies are no different. Humor, action, fantasy, romance - you name it.
3. Lord of the Rings movies: For obvious reasons. Loved the book before, movies are a great interpretation of the vision.
4. Bill and Ted movies: Hehe. I love these movies. I can't help it. Humor in spades, some sci-fi. Surprisingly good special effects.
5. Blade movies: These are well written, dark action flicks of the vampire variety. The third one has some excellent one liners as well.
6. Chronicles of Riddick: Also well written, dark movies of the sci-fi variety. The ultimate anti-hero. Kinda reminds me of Jayne in a way.
7. Happy Gilmore: My most favorite comedy of all time. Sheer classic genius. Quotable unto death.
8. Austin Powers movies: Same as above. Sheer classic comedic genius from the god of Canadian comedy. Non-stop fun and parodying.
9. Pirates of the Carribean: Brilliant, funny, with great action. Johnny Depp throws off a stellar performance as Captain Jack Sparrow.
10. Peter Pan (2004): I love this live action version. It's everything J.M. Barrie meant it to be and everything Disney was afraid to do. Much as I have a soft spot for the old Disney flick, it was a very trite version of Peter Pan. This movie, in my mind, is a perfect representation with excellent special effects.
Feel free to add your own opinions! Sci-fi, action, comedy, cartoons, anything! Also, feel free to lump trilogies together.

no specific order, since different days I have differnt attitudes towards movies.
-Pitch Black/Cronicles of Riddick: both are good but not good enough for seperate spaces
-LOTR: all 3 , but they were to long to keep my attention
-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: like the first guy said, I grew up with these movies, always be in my top 10
-Saw: Just awesome, if you've seen it you'll know why
-Spider-Man 1 and 2: Best superhero movies ever
-X-men 1 and 2: Right behind Spider-man in superhero movies
-The Incredibles: Very good, made me laugh.
-The Matrix: The first one, made me think alot.. to bad they ruined it with sequels
-Sin City: Can't really describe why I like it, I just do
-Resident Evil 1/2: just cuz they were the only videogame movies that didn't totally suck... heres to hoping Doom takes over this spot on my list.

Requiem for a Dream is definitly number 1, with the Evil Dead trilogy I'm counting them all as one) at number 2.
the other 8 are in no particular order.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Rushmore
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Well, Meangoldfish, that's a SERIOUS improvement over the other two...
That being said, have you people no sense of history? Where are the "classics?"
Bladerunner (I mean, how can you like Firefly and not Bladerunner?)
Vertigo (Hitchcock, baby!)
Chinatown ("forget it...")
without a doubt, these three are each better than Serenity... Hell, I bet Joss would agree.
Plus, a whole bunch of other stuff that I can't think of right now.

Not in any particular order and these vary, because my favourite movies vary with my mood, which is never (at all, EVER) stable...
- Bringing Up Baby (1930s, Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, classic screw ball comedy. "I'll be with you in a minute Mr. Peabody!").
- Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2. Counted as one. These were just brilliant. Tarantino runs closely behind Joss in my esteem ("Silly rabbit...", "... tricks are for kids").
- Benny & Joon. Johnny Depp, Mary Stuart Masterson, Aidan Quinn. How can you go wrong? "Having a Boo Radley moment, are we?"
- 28 Days. Laughter and tears. I love Azura Skye, Alan Tudyk, Sandra Bullock, Elizabeth Perkins ("Look at my package!")
- God's Lonely Man. Depressing as all hell. But there's just something about Heather McComb that captivates me, ("Ernest, what the f**, Ernest? What the f***?!?!" makes me cry).
- Chicago. Song. Dance. Murder. Intrigue. What more could you want? I sing out loud to this everytime I watch it.
- Happy Texas. Steve Zahn cracks me up. Ileana Douglas is mesmerising. And I've kept my eye on Ally Walker since Profiler ("That's not a tattoo!" Heh).
- The Wizard of Oz. Yeah, I know, cliche. But it was with me from childhood and there's something just magical about it.
- Singin' In The Rain. Moses supposes his toeses are roses, but Moses supposes erroneously, for Moses he knowses his toeses aren't roses as Moses supposes his toeses to be. (I can quote that off the top of my head, it freaks people out, but I just love it).
Erm...
- Boys On The Side. Whoopi Goldberg, Drew Barrymore, Mary Louise Parker. ("Get OFF the bus!!"). Oh, there's something magical about this movie.
I've gotten to ten already? Really? Special mentions: That Night; Threesome; 10 Things I Hate About You; Mary Poppins; Final Destination; Clerks; Chasing Amy; Leaving Las Vegas; Requiem For A Dream; Donnie Darko; May; Dirty Dancing; Pretty Woman.
God, I'm like *Queen* of the chick flick here.

I second that. I'm probably too snobby for my own good, but I nearly gasped when I read "Resident Evil 1 & 2." Oh well, to each their own. . .
Anyway, here's my top 11 (I know it's supposed to be movies besides Serenity, but I don't feel like renumbering my list):
1. Serenity
2. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
3. The Lord of the Rings
4. The Big Lebowski
5. Brazil
6. Pulp Fiction
7. Blade Runner
8. Casablanca
9. Rushmore
10. Goodfellas
11. Chinatown
