Just watched "Good Will Hunting" again. That's a great movie imho.

I'm getting some free time again, and intend to watch in the near future:

The Deer Hunter
The Man who Would be King
Dr. Strangelove
Donovan's Reef (favorite John Wayne movie)

What's your's?

The Empire Strikes Back ("No. I am your father.")

Iron Eagle ("Dad, will the maverick fire if we're still on the ground?") wink (cheesy, but a good fun movie that had a big influence on me)

Robocop ("Can you fly, Bobby?" "Dead or alive, you're coming with me.")

Major League I & II ("Hats for bats... keep bats warm. Gracias." "Are you trying to say Jesus Christ couldn't hit a curveball?" "You have no.... MARBLES!")

So many. Definitely "The Mission" with Robert De Niro is up there in the list for me. I've loved that movie since I was a kid.

I wouldn't dare to put them into some particular order, but I'd like to point out a few gems which may not make it into the all-time top ten but which I found particularly inspiring, motivational, intense, or otherwise surprisingly good when I didn't expect much from them:

Flawless
The World's Fastest Indian
Miller's Crossing
Il grande silenzio (Sergio Corbucci)
High Plains Drifter
12 Monkeys
Fitzcarraldo
Brazil

Mindless, underrated popcorn cinema & thrillers:
Joheunnom nabbeunnom isanghannom (The Good, The Bad, and the Weird)
Matando Cabos
Rango
Being John Malkovich
Cold Comfort Farm
Get Smart
Get Carter (w/ Michael Caine)
The Limey

I'm not a huge fan of Westerns but there are a couple that really stand out to me like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and also Tombstone.

Cagney was a fine hoofer but he made his name by defining the role of screen gangster.

Now hunch those shoulders and rub your neck on your collar.
