Some I didn't list previously and some from the list that I hadn't seen before but really liked.

Alice in Wonderland (the new one)
Aliens
Abyss, The
Blazing Saddles
Brazil
Children of Men
Dark Crystal, The
Edward Scissorhands
Equalibrium
Ghostbusters
Grosse Point Blank
Hard Candy
Hunt for Red October, The
Invasion (AKA - Top of the Food Chain)
Iron Man
Last Unicorn, The
Leon: The Professional
Man Who Knew Too Little, The
Office Space
Orphanage, The
Pan's Labrynth
Princess Bride, The
Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
Secret of NIMH, The
Serenity
Shaun of the Dead (correct spelling)
Snatch
Stargate
Terminator 2
Twelve Monkeys
Young Frankenstien

As a suggestion for alphabetizing the list, when I worked in a video store, movies that started with "The" weren't put in the 'T' section because most people ignore the "the" when looking for a movie by name... at least here in the U.S.. So the title in the computer for like "The Secret of NIMH" is entered as: "Secret of NIMH, The" so that it goes under the 'S's instead of the 'T's. Anyway, just a suggestion.
Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

Number one favorite film would have to be Fight Club.

I love anything psychological like that.  Just off the top of my head...

12 Monkeys
American History X
Avatar
The Big Lebowski
The Dark Knight
The Godfather (goes without saying)
Lord of The Rings
The Matrix (Which had NO sequels, I don't care what your conspiracy theories say!)
Pirates of The Caribbean.
Shutter Island
Silence of the Lambs
V for Vendetta
The Watchmen
And there are those few directors that I loved everything they ever did, so add to that list Anything by Quentin Tarantino, Hayao Miyazaki, or David Fincher! ~ Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Inglorious Basterds, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Fight Club, Se7en, The Game, etc. it just goes on and on...

Too many! I always FAIL at the 'Desert Island' game, because I can barely narrow it down to 15 movies, let alone 3!

Not so much with him as with him in that particular role.

Too much of the poor-little-me-the-martyr in his acting to suit me.
