License to Kill
The Spy Who Loved Me
The Living Daylights
Tomorrow Never Dies
Casablanca
The Sting
The Buorne Identity (and Supremacy too)
Singing in the Rain (ya just gotta have a song and dance flick on the list)
The Meaning of Life
 
Snatch
Red Dragon
Silence of the Lambs
Saving Private Ryan
Star Wars (trilogy)
Indiana Jones (trilogy)
Godfather (trilogy- yes I even liked part III)

I wouldn't have thought of it otherwise, but after seeing the topic post, yes Vampire Hunter (the original and Bloodlust) are very good.

Oh, and Wedding Crashers!
 
"The Tao of Steve."
"Rozencrants and Guildenstern are dead"
"Death Hunt", both of them. One has Charles Bronson, the other I do not recall the actor.
"Eiger sanction".
"Black Sunday", Special effects are dated, but the story is stronger today than when it came out in the 70's.
"Full Metal Jacket"
"Dawn Patrol", with David Niven. 1930's film.
"Guns of Navarrone".
"The Cowboys". Another John Wayne film.
When the day comes that nobody lists a John Wayne Movie, America will truly be dead.


I cannot say it is a favorite, but if you are into airplanes, "Chevaliers du Ciel" has incredible and unique footage of combat aircraft a la "Top Gun". Photography was excellent, but I speak english, it is a french film, and I watched it dubbed in chinese.

On your list of very good, maybe great movies put "Babette's Feast", and Kirk douglas in "Ace in the Hole".

for me the greatest movie ever made is "Cool Hand Luke"
