City of God was a refreshing change from the usual Hollywood mush.
Edit / Man Bites Dog is one of my favourites too

Cecil B. DeMille's "The Ten Commandments" with Chuck Heston for being the most epic story, epically told 
Arnie blowing the heck out of everything in "Commando" is pretty good too. But for different reasons

Not in any order really.
Lord of the Rings - for capturing the book as near as a film could.
Matrix - ground breaking first time around.
Saving Private Ryan - for the beach scene alone.
Seven - disturbing first time around.
Alien - scared the **** out of me as a kid.
The Fith Element - for sheer sci-fi escapism.
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels - think you appreciate this more as a brit and a Londoner.
Snatch - same again.
The Thing - same reason as Alien, I was one disturbed kid.
Reign of Fire - its got a dragon in it.
Any old war films or westerns.

That also was Jack Nicholson's first movie btw in 1970!!!

Aliens or Alien 3 (depending on my mood). Aliens was just generally kick-ass, but Alien 3 had the best ending ever. EVER, I SAY!

51st State
Matrix films
On 51st State, by far the best and funniest film I ever watched, had me howling for hours afterwards. Samuel L Jackson in a kilt is another matter......

In no particular order:-
Mulholland Drive
Fight Club
Donnie Darko
City of God
Trainspotting
Oldboy
Oldboy is a Korean film that I saw over a week ago and its still filling my head. A stunning piece of work.

There are a lot of very good films worth mentioning, but I'd rather mention something most people probably haven't heard of so some could accidentally get interested and watch it, if they get the chance. So, I recommend:

My favourites have to be part of the tartan asia extreme series, in no paticular order they are:
Batoru rowaiaru (Battle Royale) - Kinji Fukasaku's best work, violent, fun and a shocking look at a future japanese society.
Ringul (The Ring) - The original, none of that dramatised crap. The original movie screenplayed from K¶ji Suzuki's classic horror novel, made in romania .
Ju-On (The Grudge) - The original movie from 2003 directed by Takashi Shimizu, none of that sarah michelle gellar "omg nasty ghosty" crap.
I also have to agree with these of Valan's :
Matrix - ground breaking first time around.
Saving Private Ryan - for the beach scene alone, and the fact it captures war perfectly.
Seven - disturbing first time around, morgan freeman at his best.
Alien - scared the **** out of me as a kid, the john hurt scene is classic.
The Fith Element - for sheer sci-fi escapism, and a well put together GFX package.
The Thing - A purely frightening look at what could be lurking, one of john carpenters best.
i agree with all of these, hell of a set of films... i also include on my list the following:
Predator - Anything invisible that's trying to kill you is scary 
Total Recall - The woman with three boobies still gets me every time.
Event Horizon - Excellent storyline, and very frightening in places.
All Bond Films - Pure british charisma at it's finest.
Pulp Fiction - John Travolta and Sam Jackson made cult history with this.
Schindlers List - A good view of the savage and ruthless side of human nature.

My favourites are Schindler's List and American Beauty and I really can't choose between them. I like them because they left me stunned in a way that not even a bazillion dollar's worth of special effects ever could  Other favourites for the same reason are Leon, Requiem For A Dream and American History X.
Yep, it's a real party when I get to choose the vid
