First?
A list for you to chew on!
Shawshank Redemption - I don't think anyone can deny just how good this film is.
The Green Mile - I cried like a little girl at the end, but what a film.
Tora! Tora! Tora! - 1970 film about Pearl Harbour, absolutely fantastic, shits from a great height on the drivel that is the Ben Affleck version
Candyman - One of my favourite endings in Hollywood.
Transformers - I don't care how silly it is, saw it at the cinema, and was hooked!
Hot Shots (Both) - Still laugh my head off at these.
Naked Gun Trilogy - Same as Hot Shots.
Versus - Silly Japanese violent comedy, great for a laugh.
Akira - Breathtaking, even twenty years on!
Spirited Away & Howls Moving Castle - I know they're a bit girly, but such feelgood films!
Liar Liar - Still funny after 11 years, which is impressive for a recent hollywood comedy.
Fallen - Denzel Washington is phenomenal in this not-quite-as-famous-as-most-of-his-films
Pulp Fiction - Need I explain?
Goodfellas - Just makes me want to be a gangster!
EDIT: Boondock Saints!


Bad Films -
Cloverfield - Plot was poor, camera work was irritating, and I've felt more suspense watching Chuckle Brothers
AVP2 - Just dire. What a letdown.
Superbad - I just couldn't watch it, got half an hour in and turned it off.
Donnie Darko - Overrated.
Something About Mary - Ben Stiller manages to annoy me for the entire film.
Da Vinci Code - Complete and utter cack.


Well b3ta, you've opened up a can of worms here. I'll probably end up adding more over the week!

That's exactly what I did with Superbad.
I actually got about 28 minutes in though before I began to feel like jumping out of the plane I was on while watching it.

Donnie Darko
Not just overrated -- pretentious, psuedo-philosophical, new-age-mystical crap.

Boondock Saints?

@Highly_Defined
I love the film, it's great for when you want mindless violence and a good laugh!

Donnie Darko
Did you watch the original cut or the directors?

Also, Fallen was total shite.

@Tena
I watched the original.

And I thought Fallen was ace!
