Memento and Donnie Darko are pretty high up my list.
Raffaello Sanzio, over 9 years ago
Have you seen "Requiem for a Dream"?
Yes, saw it just a few months ago! Even though it's excellent, it's a little too heavy for me — I tend to not rewatch those many more times.
Dan Sherratt, over 9 years ago
Eternal Sunshine, although if we're talking 'rewatchable', Goodfellas,
or Crazy Stupid Love.
Braden Hamm, over 9 years ago
If we're talking rewatchable, I go with Oceans 11 and Princess Bride.
Chris Frees, over 9 years ago
Hard to say, but probably:
- Predator (The old one)
- Dark Knight trilogy
- Lord of the Rings trilogy
- Gladiator
- Inception
Pedro Pinto, over 9 years ago
Difficult question :).
- Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive (David Lynch)
- Hunger and Shame (Steve McQueen)
- Apocalypse Now , Godfather I & II (Francis Ford Coppola)
- Heat (Michael Mann)
- Any Kubrick movie
- Drive (Nicolas Winding Refn)
- In the Mood for Love (Wong Kar-Wai)
- I saw the devil (Kim Jee-woon)
- Infernal Affairs ("the original Departed")
- Godfellas (Scorcese)
- Pulp Fiction
And so on, and so on. It's impossible to choose only one.
Jake Lazaroff, over 9 years ago It's tough for me to decide, but a few that are definitely up there for me:
- The Wackness
- High Fidelity
- Wall-E
- Juno
Finally watched The Wackness last year. So good. Great picks.
Jake Lazaroff, over 9 years ago Thanks :) having grown up watching Josh Peck on Nickelodeon, it's cool to see him breaking out of that kind of role.

The Fall is by far the best movie I've ever watched.
The visual effects, places, Lee Pace, the dialogues... Everything was awesome and inspiring.
Robin Andeer, over 9 years ago
The Fall is tough to beat but another couple visually stunning movies include: The Fountain and Sunshine.
Seen any of them?

I'd say 'Lost in Translation', oh let's make it three favourites 'Blade Runner' and 'The Double Life of Veronique'.
'The Double Life of Veronique' is a great movie, from a great director.
I have never heard of 'The Double Life of Veronique'.
Gonna have to check it out.
Yeah, please do it's something else. Basically the movie pursues the concept of having a doppelgänger, an identical person who shares your life experiences through a bond of some kind. I won't get into details but it's exquisitely made with a beautiful score accompanying it.
If you like it, I'd also recommend watching the 'Three Colors' trilogy by the same director, especially Red and Blue.

Oh, just realized that, sorry :)
There is now way to link my 10 points on iMDb but here is my ratings list: http://www.imdb.com/user/ur22141637/ratings
Wade Garrett, over 9 years ago (edited over 9 years ago ) City of God and Donnie Darko
Jonathan Svärdén, over 9 years ago
Adaptation.
Matt Donnelly, over 9 years ago (edited over 9 years ago )
I have a few, don't think I could pick just one:
- Blade Runner
- Pulp Fiction
- Spirited Away
Most recently, I absolutely adored Her
Edward Scissorhands. About a Boy. American Beauty. The Man From Nowhere.
http://letterboxd.com/bradenhamm
My favorite of 2013 are:
Gravity (best theater experience of my life). Her (my desired vision of the future).
I love The Man From Nowhere. Gravity was also the best theater experience eve, I imagine that the movie looses a lot of his impact outside a movie theater

- Eternal Sunshine

Kyle Conrad, over 9 years ago
Probably a tie between Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Avengers (I grew up SUCH a comic book nerd that watching them nail that whole movie on the big screen and at the scale that they did just fills me with utter glee).
I don't have one favourite movie. Some of my favourites are City of God, American Gangster, LOTR, Gravity, The Departed and The Godfather
