For realz, many of the movies mentioned by other posters and here's a couple more:
Dogville -- this was one of the most interesting flicks I've seen. Anyone who knows anything about the theatre director Brecht will really get off on this film.
Julius Ceaser -- this is the old black and white film with Brando and James Mason. John Geilgud makes an appearance too. Brando's finest performance outside of the theatre, I believe. There's something about the rigidity of having to perform a classic text that reigns in Brando's chaotic style. It's a perfect synthesis:

Well the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Raging Bull, Godfathers 1 & 2, Apocalypse Now and Pat Garret and Billy the Kid have already been mentioned.
My other favorites:
Barry Lyndon. This is my favorite Kubrick film and this sequence in particular is favorite part of the whole film, no artificial light used at all in this film shot exclusively with sunlight and candle light:
The Conversation. Another Coppola film. I don't think any Director had the run Coppola had in the 70s: Godfathers I and 2, The Conversation and Apocalypse Now, 4 of the greatest films of all time. The Conversation gets overshadowed as its sandwiched between the Godfathers and Apocalypse Now, but it's still one of my favorite films and one of the best of all time in my opinion.

Chungking Express/Fallen Angels/In the Mood for Love
This is a 3 way tie, really like Wong Kar Wai, seen all his movies, even Happy Together, which is about gay lovers.
24 Hour Party People. One of my favorites about Tony Wilson and Factory Records.

And I'm surprised no one's mentioned Tombstone. I absolutely love this movie and watch it every time it's on TV.
Others I love: Unforgiven, The Man who would be King with Connery and Caine, the original Italian Job, Herzog's Fitzcarraldo and Aguirre Wrath of God, and John Woos' A Better Tomorrow, Hard Boiled and the Killer.

I recently reacquired New Rose Hotel (William Gibson on the short story and Abel Ferrara on the flicker -- 1998).

It is a dense and powerful ride in the good way (intellectual, violent without being directly so, and deep). 9/10 in my book and worthy of multiple watchings.

Thx for reminding me of that film. Haven`t seen it in a decade at least.
Just finished watching `the Thing` for the first time in a long while, and all I can say is that the film is a work of genius. As far as horror/sci-fi goes, I would it only rank it behind Alien, Aliens and maybe Predator. The ambiance and plot is just brilliant. As I was watching it, it also occurred to me that there are no women in the movie either, which is a huge relief as far as today`s films go. I also dig the macho-alpha style that Kurt Russell displays throughout. Next up...the Fly and maybe Blade. Screw modern movies!

It would be pretty much impossible nowadays to make a full length movie out of a 12-page Cheever short story like they did here.
Wow...someone mentioned The Swimmer. Haven't thought about this film in quite awhile but it had a powerful effect on me when I first saw it.
I'm not a big fan of remakes but this one desperately needs an overhaul as it's very dated nowadays. What I love the most (other than Burt Lancaster's performance) was the premise. A man "swims home" through the use of his neighbor's pools and the closer he gets, the more we come to learn about who he is and what these people really think of him.
I could totally see someone like Paul Thomas Anderson doing a reboot of this and knocking it out of the park.

Pulp still definitely holds up for me. Maybe it was over-rated in the mid 90s a tad but it's still one of the best of a good decade.

I'm surprised Cool Hand Luke hasn't been mentioned.

Too many to mention, but after hearing the theme to 'Zulu' on the radio the other day I went out and bought the Blu-Ray. I could watch this film once a week for the rest of my days and never get sick.

Ones I've enjoyed more than a couple times:
Dredd (2012)
Law abiding citizen (2009)

I'm a big fan of "Margin Call", it gave me lots of crypto flashbacks even though it's not a movie about crypto.

All the Daniel Craig Bond films after Casino Royale were such a letdown (instead of going a new way, they went back full circle to the old cliches, what was the point?), that film was a classic. It had this classy style with an visceral aggressive energy and masculine direction and Craig had something to prove and it shows in his performance. From cinematography to side characters casting to Bond girl casting to the theme song to the chemistry between the characters. Everything is just so, nothing overdone. Perfection. I don't think there will ever be another like it, they captured lightning in a bottle with this one. It's a sublime singular film that can be enjoyed over and over again.
The sequels to this feel effete subdued and feminine, (I think Skyfall is the most overrated bucket of meh this decade, at least Quantum wasn't plundering nostalgia).
We went from this:
to this (and don't say its because of character development)
Enough to make you cry.

Face off. Armageddon. American pie.
What are your Favorite Movies? - Monkey Business - 03-01-2019
The Place Beyond The Pines
It's a film I come back to often. If I had to name one favorite, it would be it. For now anyways. It's beautifully shot, and tells a unique three-part story. It starts with some heist action, then a story unfolds about police corruption and opportunism, and then the film compels you to ponder the passage of time and the cyclical nature of things. It gets me every time.
Others that are simply enjoyable cinematic experiences:
No Country For Old Men
Donnie Darko
Drive
Whiplash
Heat

The voice of Silberman talking flippantly over clips of the first film is just so chilling.

A gloomy, but great movie. Very bold filmmaking and script to try to tell this generational tale in just over 2 hours. Ryan Gosling cool factor in this movie is 11/10.
