Black Hawk Down - I am helicopter crazy to start with and a Black Hawk really makes my day for me. But seriously, this is a very gritty, no punches pulled film and a fabulous cast. Ridley Scott is a genius.
Another one I adored and forgot! Ugh, I LOVE that movie. And I too, and Mad About Choppers. I want to fly soooo bad! (So bad I might go ahead anf get the laser eye surgery so's I can!)

The book is much better in my opinion if you have never read it. Of course, Henry Fonda was great but the grittiness of the book did not translate well into that movie version. Plus, there are some powerful scenes that are cut from the story for the sake of time and I understand why they did that. The movie would have been 3 hours long. Still, read the book if you have not. One of the greatest books of all time.

Oh, just wanted to let you know, Cybersnark, Swords of an Honorable Ruler doesn't spoil anything from the TV show. It's very stand-alone. You can hardly even tell where among the TV episodes it's taking place. I was afraid of the same thing but I got bored, so I watched it and there are zero spoilers. You don't have to deny yourself!
In context, I'm right in the middle of the Band of Seven (whose Japanese name I'm not even gonna try to spell) arc, just after Rin finds the demons inside the mountain. I don't wanna spoil the inertia of that storyline.
I know the movie happens within distance of the Well/Kaede's village (I've seen some "present-day" clips), so presumably the gang will return to that area after the Naraku-hunt concludes.

No particular order
Fight Club - Just amazing
Garden State - Best love story evar
Batman Begins - Best batman evar
Saw - Most adrenaline pumping, for me anyway.
Team America - Funniest evar, in tears i was laughing so hard.
Indiana Jones - Indy!
Star Wars - I don't care, these movies have influenced me quite a bit, but I'm not a geek I swear.
City of God - A must see
Sin City - Most romantic movie evar.
Pirates of the Carribean - Johnny Depp can pull of "creepy" and "mezmorising" all at the same time.
I dunno, those are the one I can think of right now

Most of my favorites are already well-represented here, but I've gotta push a film that, in my opinion, should have made it big but didn't (like our BDH):
Equilibrium

Labyrinth (All time favorite)
28 Days (gotta love Alan Tudyk in this one!)
SLC Punk
Amelie
Spirited Away
Identity
Memento
Wonderman
(Ballad, I was totally surprised to see any Danny Kaye mention. I almost picked Court Jester, but I like Wonderman slightly more)
Twelve Monkeys
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (BBC miniseries)
