Forrest Gump has been my favorite movie since it came out.

This movie is cool, because you see the ending at the first, and the time line is spirited throughout. Close details and cool thinking, and you can actually figure out the ending, but damn, this movie fucking rocks. Watch it now!

Those first two are REALLY weird.
The third one is absolutely brilliant!
The Fly (Remake)
The Thing (Remake)
Videodrome
Movies I've seen from this list that I can remember clearly so I can comment on the suggestions:
All the Back to the Future's-Pretty good.
The Jurassic Parks-I didn't like much of the series. Especially JP2.
The Star War movies-Can't go wrong.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy-Also can't go wrong.
Black Hawk Down-Very good movie. They get the atmosphere just right.
The Teminators-A classic.
Zombieland-Incredibly fun movie. A good mix of comedy and action. I don't know anyone who didn't like it.
Saving Private Ryan-Just strait-up awesome.
The Shining-I thought it was ok, but not best movie ever material.
Citizen Kane-I liked it, but I could see why it completely bombed on release. Not a movie everyone will like.
Brazil-It's very weird in a good way. Still the kind of movie I can see some people not really enjoying.
Escape From New York-I simply didn't like it. Tried to run with the whole "cheesy action movie" deal but I still just couldn't bring myself to enjoy watching it.
Ocean's 11, 12, and 13-All pretty good.
Vertigo-A real classic among Hitchcock films. Good by any standard.
To Kill a Mockingbird-Overall pretty good.
Reservoir Dogs-I liked it but it's another one where I could see someone not enjoying it at all.
The Graduate-It was ok. Much like Mrs. Robinson.
Fight Club-Really good. Especially if no one spoiled the end for you yet. In fact watch it next because if someone spoils the big plot twist this movie will make too much sense.
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest-Overall very good. The acting especially.
Minority Report-Decent movie, but not best movie of all time material. I thought it was OK.
Double Indemnity-Basically the classic old-school detective movie. No going wrong with this one.
Children of Men-One of the best movies I've ever seen. Fantastic directing.
Yeah I don't watch enough movies. A Lot of really good ones on that list that I hadn't seen yet or have seen fragments of a long time ago. Overall you're in for a good time. Almost all the movies on that list that I've seen are really good.
Now to add some more.
-STALKER (1970's Russian movie, might be hard to find but it's in public domain)
Hit-or-miss on this one. Very slow and philosophical. The video game is based off of it, but loosely. If you go into this one with the mindset from the game you won't like it.
-Lord of War
One of my all-time favorites. Just plain fun.
-Night of the Living Dead.
A real classic. It was very influential and Romero made it before he started to suck (Land of the Dead, seriously, what the fuck Romero, what the fuck?). Overall much deeper and more psychological than his subsequent movies and as a result somewhat scarier.
-Dawn of the Dead.
People claim it is better than Night. I think it relies more on action. Still, very good. Made before Romero started to suck.
-C.R.A.S.H.
Quite epic.
-Dog Day Afternoon.
Another of my all-time favorites. Good acting, good story and as it happens a true one at that.
Those are six I can remember right now.
Tarzan.

I think you'd disagree if you'd seen the previous list I posted
Ichi the killer
guinea pig series
[QUOTE=Jimmymi;18005536]Ichi the killer

Mermaid In A Manhole rules so much.
Dude, Scarface.
Finished Children of Men and Resevior Dogs, both really good movies.
Zombieland is NOT a great movie.
I'm not saying it's a bad movie, it just shouldn't be up there with the others.
A Big Nothing
Simon Pegg and David Schwimmer... Need I say more?
Moon.
Undercover Brother
Shooter (or was that allready on the list?)
Finished watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, was one of my favorite movies that I've watched so far.

I've seen that, it really isn't THAT good.
Dude, what you are doing is nice and all, and I am glad to see someone get interested in the gems of film, but watching 150 movies is not going to make you a film expert. There are thousands of films I have seen since I became interested in films about seven years ago, each moving me in their own individual way, but this infinite line of amazing movies is just that. There are movies people consider classic for their own reasons, and some that they consider brilliant that others consider shit. Watch films because they are an art, and deserve to be treated as such.

Excellent Movie:

Several movies I've seen lately are The Jacket and Hollywoodland with Adrien Brody. Both movies are good stuff. The 2nd one concentrates on the mysterious death of the 1st Superman actor George Reeves.[url=http://www.dvdcollectionsale.com/The-Apprentice-Seasons-1-8-DVD-Boxset--DVD-1754.html]the apprentice seasons[/url]
