2) "Seven Years in Tibet"
3) "The Lion in Winter" old version
4) "A Man for All Seasons"
5) "Cabaret"

7) "Lawrence of Arabia" long but good
8) "The Bridge over the River Kwai"
9) "Kelly's Heroes"
10) "The Eagle Has Landed"
11) "Cross of Iron"
12) "Das Boot" german u-boat story
13) "Much Ado About Nothing" Kenneth Branaugh version, Shakespeare
14) "A Midsummer Night's Dream" Shakespeare
15) "Full Metal Jacket", "Doctor Strangelove" any film of Stanley Kubrick is excellent
16) "Saving Private Ryan"
17) "Alien"
18) "The Silence of the Lambs"
19) "Seven"
20) "Memento" told backwards, very interesting for first time viewers
21) "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"
22) "The Big Lebowski" comedy
23) "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" comedy, true
24) "Rushmore" comedy
25) "The Nightmare Before Christmas" excellent claymation for kids and adults
26) "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark"
27) "The Hobbit" 70's animated, great for kids...not so great if you haven't loved it since childhood
28) "The Outlaw Josey Wales" Clint Eastwood as Badass

30) "Seven Samurai" slow, black and white, in Japanese, and one of the greatest movies of all time by director Akira Kurosawa
31) "Memories" Anime, in Japanese, three short stories, very good
32) "Princess Mononoke" or "Spirited Away" or any by this director--it is anime, but in a disney-like fashion
Note: some people hate anime from the beggining, but if you like it, you might want to check out the series "Cowboy Bebop", "Ranma 1/2", and "Macross Plus"
This list doesn't even begin to cover all the good movies, but it's a start. Tried to Leave out ones EVERYONE has seen.
PS--
33) "Singing in the Rain"
34) "Hero" Kung-Fu drama, a little fantastical
35) "Enter the Dragon" kung-fu classic
36) "Jurassic Park" NOT the sequels

How interesting, Tasslehoff - aside from the anime, your list is pretty good - lots of movies I have seen and love. Except for "Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves" - a most wooden performance by Kevin Costner, where he starts the movie with a lame English accent, and bags it by the time the first 30 minutes have passed. I much prefer "Robin Hood - Men in Tights".
Here are some more of my favorites:
1) "Princess Bride" - one of the classic comedies
2) "The Fifth Element" - not the greatest Bruce Willis movie, but lots of incredibly funny lines
3) "Galaxy Quest" - if you love Star Trek, this movie is for you
4) "Bram Stoker's Dracula" - it deserves naming again
5) Any Pixar movie.
6) "Schindler's List" - a hard watch, but worth every minute
7) "Bruce Almighty" - had me peeing my pants
8) "50 First Dates" - my favorite romantic comedy
9) "Pirates of the Carribean" - I can watch this every day
10) "The Game" - the most suspenseful movie I have ever seen
That's about all I have time for right now.

Wow! This is one heck of a list!
I don't even know where to start.
Here's a handful of movies from a genre I like that pretty much has vanished: the mystery/comedy. Movies that successfully swing you from creepy suspense to side-splitting laughter.
1.) Foul Play - Goldie Hawn, Chevy Chase, Dudley Moore and Burgess Meredith star. It's jammed with creepy moments, especially through the beggining. As the movie progresses it gets funnier and funnier. Highlights include two little old ladies spelling dirty words while playing Scrabble; a high-speed race against time with two Asian immigrants in the back seat enjoying the ride (Kojak bang bang!?); and a pseudo-kung fu fight scene between the geriatric hero and villainess.
2.) Hanky Panky - Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner. The movie starts off will a creepy suicide scene and sets the stage for the entire plot. The movie as a whole isn't the greatest, but it has one of the funniest scenes of all time. I'm not sure I've ever laughed so hard for so long as I did for the Mr. Pucket scene.
3.) Charade - Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. Top notch movie. The mystery aspect is pretty solid but the dialogue between Hepburn and Grant really makes the movie shine. The supporting cast of unsavory villains (including the guy who played the creepy ghost on the subway in "Ghost") keeps the mood sufficiently spooky).

I was going to add "The Fifth Element" but you beat me to it
