What are your all time must-see movies - let's not include those that would be listed only because of the special effects, soundtrack or room shaking bass.

Eish!!! Too many. You'll remember I'm a sucker for Luc Besson, so (in order of release):
Big Blue
Nikita
Leon (aka. Professional)
5th Element
The Messenger (Joan Du Arc)

And no, I didn't forget; I just  cannot make the Handrbrake work on my PC. Holidays are coming, will solve it.

aah, there's definitely value in a thread like this - already I'm reminded of movies I've wanted to see or forgotten. Lets keep them coming.

The only bit I remember about this movie is the brilliant car chase.

:) Glad to somebody else also enjoys good cinema. Those also top my list.
Have you seen his Taxi Series of films?

Y Tu Mama Tambien
The Highlander
Biggles: Adventures in Time (For some very odd reason. I think I liked the German sound weapon)
Apocalypto (Quite distressing, but thought provoking)
The Crimson Rivers
Caution, whatever you read above, may, wonder of wonders, contain some level of jocularity.

Loving this thread - going to see how many of these are at the local DVD rental, starting with those I haven't seen. Even the ones I've seen are worth revisiting.

Usual suspects was brilliant, but knowing the twist kinda takes the fun out of it.  I'll have to wait a few more years before I watch it again.
