Will you be my valentine
Think about it a bit
If you will, that's ok
If not, who gives a shit

How about the opening to Roxanne? The voices are not like the real movie, but w/e.

[NowhereMan]

Glad to see the Big Lebowski making an appearance on this thread. I think that movie is in a class of it's own. I don't even include it in my top 5. I usually end up pissing off the people watching with me because I can say all the lines. If I had to pick 5 besides that one they'd be (in no particular order).

Cabin in the Woods- Not scary at all but highly recommended
12 Angry Men- this needs no explanation
Braveheart- epic in every way
The Fox and the Hound- this was formerly the only movie to make me cry, until I saw...
Up

All amazing films.

@ Nowhereman -- if you like Twelve Angry Men, get a hold of "12" -- it's a Russian re-make of Twelve Angry Men (in Russian, with subtitles) and it's riveting. After the first two minutes I didn't even register that I was reading the words instead of understanding Russian.

My favorites all are pretty old too. Also in no particular order:

The Wild Bunch - Pecikinpah was a genius.
The Thing - Carpenter's, best ending ever.
Casino - Slightly more than Goodfellows.
Blade Runner - Prometheus made me cry for Ridley.
Chinatown - Noir, Polanski and I love LA.

Edited to add Sharon Stone kicking Arnolds ass is going to be tough to top but I'm also looking forward to the remake.

I really like your movie choices. Chinatown is brilliant.
Have you seen Death and the Maiden? Another amazing and thought provoking Polanski film.
