List as many as you like. (porn dosen't count) defining our time, early 70s to present date.

Or just movies I think kick ass?  Because I have some questionable taste and really like some stuff that's really trash (like Dude, Where's my Car?)

I would agree with most of the movies posted, but I would put Fight Club on my list, as well as the Big Lebowski.

I tend to find movies that view life from a really surreal viewpoint to be wonderful.

I disagree, the best was Aliens.

Mostly because of Bill Paxton as the whiny Space Marine.

"Put her in charge" he whines.

That has to be one of the best performances ever - and it is definitely a toss up between Aliens and Resurrection for me.  The amazing oddities brought together for the last one is superb.
