Since this got buried in another thread that has become all about bashing OP, I decided to repost this here so it would have it's own thread and we could discuss good movies.
In no order or ranking - these are some of my good one recommendations:
Shawshank Redemption - one of the best ever
Usual Suspects - also top notch. Kiser Sose!
Se7en - gritty, dark, violent. the movie that started all the recent copy cat movies that look and feel the same
Goodfellas - just a great mob flick
Godfather 1 and 2 (not 3!) - the greatest mob flicks and always watchable and classic
Fight Club - fucking great movie
Pan's Labyrinth - great flick. perfectly violent and fantasy. is subtitled but TOTALLY worth it.
Transformers - for great mindless action - the recent movie has effects, action, humor. good "brain candy"
Batman Begins (can rent) and The Dark Knight (still at theaters but you can find to watch online) - 2 great dark superhero movies
Apocalypse Now - all time classic decent into hell.
The Descent - recent well done horror flick
Pulp Fiction - always good with endless classic scenes and lines.
Saving Private Ryan - one of the best war movies ever. Great acting ALL around.
Reservoir Dogs - fucking amazing crime movie
Blade Runner - best sci fi movie of all time.
I don't agree with all on this list, but there are a lot of good movies here and t is a good resource - http://www.nytimes.com/ref/movies/1000best.html
Here is another good list that users vote on http://www.imdb.com/chart/top
