    This is a good pick that I'd completely forgotten about. Extremely re-watchable.

    These too.

    In no particular order

    Raiders of the Lost Ark
    Star Wars
    The Empire Strikes Back
    Batman Begins (yes, it is better than The Dark Knight, dammit)
    Bull Durham
    Shawshank Redemption
    The Usual Suspects
    Major League
    Blazing Saddles
    Superman

    Edit: Forgot to mention, I think Avengers could end up on my list and others. I want to see how it holds up on a second viewing.

    Good to see all the love for "Raiders of the Lost Ark" on here (I included it in my list, too).

    Could be because it was a great movie with crazy special effects, stunts and Harrison Ford wisecracks.

    Or ... it could be because we're all oldsters and that movie kicked our ass when we saw it in the theater at 9 or 10 years old.

    1 of the 2 elite scenes from Basterds:

    The movie almost never stopped stringing together chase scene after chase scene in a seamless story.

    Somehow they gave us one of the greatest chases in movie history during the plot exposition. Bond always starts with a chase, but this one actually served a purpose.

    Paint Your Wagon cracks me up just for the sheer ridiculous audacity of casting Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin in a musical -- and allowing them to (ahem) sing.

    It also gave us that great scene of Indy vs. the guy with the scimitar.

    Pretty sure it's Bridge on the River Kwai. And it is indeed greatness (not to mention "Madness!").
