Another great blast from the past, and little known, The Great McGinty with Brian Donlevey and Akim Tamiroff. Also in the comedic vein, Cary Grant and Ros Russell in His Girl Friday is terrific. The silent films of Fatty Arbuckle and Buster Keaton are on DVD through Kino. Anything by the Marx Brothers. In the realm of silent films Douglas Fairbanks Sr. defines charisma in The Thief of Baghdad and Mark Of Zorro. Silent horror fims such as John Barrymore in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, The Man Who Laughs with Conrad Veidt. Nosferatu which was the first version of Bram Stoker's classic Dracula.
Lon Chaney's Phantom of the Opera, Hunchback of Notre Dam, and He Who Gets Slapped, The Unholy Three are on DVD now. Not on DVD yet but if you can find a copy of Eric Von Stronheim's "Greed" on VHS it is great stuff. Back to the talkies .... The Thin Man series with William Powell and Myrna Loy, the Charlie Chan series, the Warner Oland stuff and the Sidney Toler films. Told ya I could go on and on.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Gotta be "Forrest Gump", "Back to the Future" (Two Robert Zemeckis movies right away) and "Lock, Stock and two smoking barrels". There's a lot of other stuff that I like tho, too much to write down, but these are my top three.

Being that most of the "given" great movies have been listed, I'll pick one that is a little bit different (but still great).
Stranger Than Fiction
I watch a ton of movies (my blu-ray collection is nearing 700), in all different genres. There are only a couple movies that have been posted in here that I have yet to see. I've piled through a great deal of the Criterion Collection, watched old and new sci-fi, drama, comedy, horror, etc etc. but at the end of the day (any day), the one movie that I always can pop in and just be okay with watching is Stranger Than Fiction. It just has everything. It has the weird, ethereal feeling of Peter Sellers' Being There. A sort of mildly British humor. Memorable lines. An atypical music number. It hits just about every emotion a good movie should hit (save for maybe the gag reflex). It's about a lot of things, and it never fails to just make me feel good.
