Here's my list:
Requiem For A Dream- My worst fears captured on camera
Evil Dead- Got me hooked on horror movies
Fight Club- A significant commentary on frustration felt by white-collar workers
Office Space- Same importance as Fight Club, except its not quite as dreary or offbeat
Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War- If you're a male and you have a brother, then this is required viewing
American History X- Reveals that not only is racism a foolish flaw, but that it has its consequences
Brazil- Portrays the soul-crushing repitition of beauracracy and the joy of freedom
SAW Trilogy- Not just gratuitous gore, but a questioning of the value of life
Taxi Driver- Because everyone can identify with Travis Bickle at one point or another
Chasing Amy- A romantic comedy that's mature and food for thought
Battle Royale- The tag line says it all: Would you kill your best friend?
Malcolm X: A terrific biopic of a true American

Mississippi Burning was a movie that moves me every time I see it, a very hard time in our history.
Gone With the Wind - I spent many years trying to be Rhett Butler, a scoundrel that everyone loves. It didn't work for me.

Barfly was the life I had as a young man, entertaining and pathetic.

Battle of Algiers. Why we should not be in Iraq. The Great Dictator. Director, Producer, Writer, Charles Chaplin making a powerful anti Nazi statement, when Hitler was still popular in American. Sunset Boulevard, where writer-director Billy Wilder gives the finger to Hollywood. Biting the hand that feeds him. Network. Director-writer Paddy Cheyefsky's dead-on skewering of televisions almighty quest for ratings. I'm as mad as hell, too!

I Will Fight No More Forever - I first saw this when I was in grade school, it made a huge impact on me at the time and made me realize what the Native Americans went through as they were driven off their lands
The Hiding Place - I also saw this when I was in grade school. A great movie about what it was like in a concentration camp
Schindler's List - The way it was filmed in black and white sucked me in, made me feel like I was there
Dogma - A clever and hilarious look at religion and what we believe in (especially Catholicism)
Band of Brothers series - A rather realistic portrait of war
