In no particular order:
1) Little Big Man
2) My Life as a Dog
3) Fargo
4) Bladerunner
5) Chinatown
6) City of God
7) The Godfather
The Third Man
9) Double Indemnity
10)Sons of the Desert
Depending on which one I see the most recently, it then becomes my favourite till I see one of the others.

Ooh, Taking of Pelham 123. The movie was good, but didn't do the book justice. Godey (A pen name) really did his homework as to the technical details of the NYCTA.

A great thread; however, it's also a hard one to answer with less than dozens of answers. I'll just pick a small number.
1. Sexy Beast.
2. Snatch.
3. Casablanca.
4. Donnie Darko.
5. Unforgiven.
6. The Graduate.
7. Mystic River.
8. A Clockwork Orange.
9. Braveheart.

Life is essentially one long Benny Hill skit punctuated by the occasional Anne Frank moment.

my favorite scene from a movie: GOODFELLOWS
Robert Deniro potraying Jimmy Burke, the actual person who organanized the JKF Luthansia 1972 $8 million robbery, the largest cash heist in history.
Jimmy meets up with his henchman at his bar at Ozone Park and freaks out when they've all spent their money on fancy cars and hookers. Everything he specifically instructed them not to do in order to avoid LE suspicion.
the next day, he has them all killed. and that's exactly the way it happened in real life.
