The Usual Top Films:
Godfather Trilogy, (best films ever)
Pulp Fiction, (Could watch it forever, never gets dull from repeated viewing)
StarWars 4,5 and 6 (prequels were piss-poor, no argument),
LA Confidential, (great cast, great story)
Chinatown, (like LA confidential but with jac k nicholson and a nonce)
One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest, (more jack)
The Shining,(yet more jack!)
Tombstone, (best western ever)
Matrix (1 only, sequels were a travesty),
The Animatrix (possibly better than the matrix)
XMen Trilogy, (best comic book films except for...)
Batman Begins, (Dark Knight looks even better than this! Cant wait)
Shawshank Redemption, (Best Prison film ever)
Full Metal Jacket, (best war film ever)
Casino, (DeNero at his best)
Usual Suspects, (Unexpectedly ace caper film)
Goodfellas, (Great Mob Film)
Gladiator, (Sword Fights and Revenge)
Spartacus, (Hole in his chin)
Indiana Jones Trilogy (not seen 4 yet),
Taxi Driver, (Creepy motherfucker)
Schindlers List, (Emotive, *sob*)
Resevoir Dogs, (Low Budget awesomeness)
Leon, (Best assassin film)
Blade Runner (Comment not needed)
Heat (Michael Mann's Best, DeNero vs Pachino, Wicked)

The Films Only I Seem To Think Are Classics:

Edit: I cant beleive I forgot The General: The best real-life gangster film ever made! The story of Martin Cahill, No glorification, no OTT gunfights, just simply amazing cinematography and direction. Get the B/W version if you can, I beleive the american version was released in colour. Honestly if you watch just one movie from this question of the week make sure it is this. Truely amazing film.
Total Recall (Despite the awful acting and script, overegged action sequences I reckon this has got to be one of THE great sci-fi stories, Gibson-esque!)
Young Frankenstien (best comedy ever FACT, characters looked like they were having a ball filming this, marty feldman is awesome, the perfect laugh your ass off movie.)
AKIRA, Ghost In The Shell, SF2 animated movie: (all because CARTOONS ARE NOT JUST FOR KIDS!)
AKIRA (So fucking good I posted it twice)
AKIRA (Again just because if you havnt seen it your not 'whole'. Visual Peyote for your brain)
City of God (Brazilliant)
Oldboy (One of those films where you are dumbstruck for an hour afterwards because of the ending)
Infernal Affairs (This film was my first Tony Leung film, that lad can act!)
SE7EN (Smackhead scared me to death, I recovered tho)
Donnie Darko (I got it on my first watch, none of this 'Interpret your own ending' bollocks. makes sense if you have a laymans understanding of temporal physics.)
Trainspotting (Just because I loved the book)
Munich (Jews+Rambo=REVENGE)
Traffic (Long but good coke movie)
Dr Strangelove (Peter Sellers' Finest, Kubrik does comedy!)
Carlitos Way (Good but goes to soppy toward the end for me)

I Could go on but im tired.

Old Boy
I love this film. I sincerely hope that Hollywood doesn't get hold of it.

I almost agree.
The only things there I don't agree with are films I haven't seen yet. Even down to The Animatrix. (I recently had the soundtrack on in work and I had people coming up to me asking what it was. Not as good as the original, but marginally surpasses Enter The Matrix)

We also have the SF2 animated movie on quite a bit.

I reckon I'll go hunt down the missing films from your list. :D

OK, I have to ask...
I need to know how Oldboy finishes. I fell asleep after he battered all the men in the block where he was kept and he comes downstairs in the lift and everyones dead. It was on really, really late, so someone help me out.
