You have a pretty good list there! And, I have to say your choices made me think...

I think part of what makes a movie a favorite for me is the ability to watch it repeatedly and still "dig it". Here are some of my favorites..

Two Weeks Notice
Man on Fire
Dazed and Confused
Bringing up Baby
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Crash
Resevoir Dogs
History of Violence


Will have to get back to you -- I have many more...

I also love a lot of the films you two have mentioned, especially these...

American History X
Dazed and Confused
Death To Smoochy (Very underrated comedy! Robin Williams Edward Norton were great.)
The Exorcist
Man On Fire
Reservoir Dogs

***

With my list, I tried to mix films I consider "great" and films which are "great" to watch. For example... The Deer Hunter, Leaving Las Vegas, Schindler's List, The Thin Red Line, and 21 Grams are not "fun" watches, but they're so incredibly well-acted, directed, and written. All five are powerful, unforgettable dramas, in my opinion. On the other hand, movies like The Bourne Siupremacy, Jerry Maguire, Minority Report, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, and The Royal Tenenbaums are on there because they're hugely entertaining action or comedy movies that are very well-done.
