Its practically impossible...
... to narrow it down to just one movie.

Some I love, in no particular order:

The Shipping News - as a die hard Annie Proulx fan, I enjoyed this immensely, and would love to see a TV spin off show a-la Northern Exposure.

Battleship Potempkin - What can say about this that hasn't been said before?

Northfork - Theres a dog ON STILTS!! If that ain't for the win, then I don't know what is? And the diner scene is just an absolute joy.

Brick - Just such a very fine movie. High School kids slap bang in the middle of a Chandler-esque murder mystery.

October Skies - An early showing from the excellent Jake Gylenhal (sp?) and a nice family movie.

Ground Control (released as Jet in the UK) - this one is a bit of a guilty pleasure :-)

Pushing Tin - Another ATC movie. Mmmm.

High Fidelity - Just great from start to finish.

Also rans, despite the deliberate schmaltsy-ness of it, I love Armageddon.

Con Air is great fun. So are the first two Die Hard movies.

Fargo and O Brother Where Art Thou are both excellent, excellent movies.

84 Charlie MoPic and Apocolypse Now both showing different and as far as I know, equally valid versions of The 'Nam.

The Good The Bad and The Ugly.

And you can never forget Space Cowboys. Finally got Clint in a Space Suit! :-)

There are just way too many to do justice to all the good 'uns, but there a few there that I think are pretty ace.

*edit* And you know...the usual run of John Hughs style flicks and most of Kevin Smiths oeuvre. :-)
