Must see movies

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

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.
