total recall - My third favorite Arnie film, a fantastic story with great writing, a great set (The mars set is pretty convincing for an older film!) and the plot is generally great all around.

dogma - A great parody of religion, which i find funny and clever, and it has a lot of classic lines in it.

Passion of the Christ A very moving film, serious and tells the story of Jesus which is a worldwide important story.

Saving Private Ryan Brilliant war film, the acting is fantastic and the story is moving. Suprised GB had to put this on a reminder list!

The Goonies like stand by me, this is a childhood adventure coming of age story that is extremely well written and watchable by even todays standards.

ET Everyone loves ET, it is a classic sci fi adventure which is heart warming and loving. This is a proper family film that everyone can enjoy.

Rocky Horror Picture Show A superb musical film, completely off the wall insane, but fantastic and fun. Everyone should enjoy this insane film.

Die Hard One of THE manliest films on earth. With fantastic lines and brilliant acting, this is a proper action film.

Snatch Like lock stock all of these films are great, proper old school British films about crime and gangs and drugs. All films of this genre are brilliant but Snatch is awesome.

Serenity Whilst this film didn't particularly do well at the box office, i think it is only now making money after years of being released. However this film signifies what the fans can achieve if they set their minds to it, the tie up of a show that was cancelled after 12 episodes wouldn't normally even be made, but Firefly fans (brown coats) were relentless in getting what they deserved, and their un dieing loyalty means this film deserves some respect.

The last king of Scotland I thought this film was going to be shite, but i found it brilliant, it had some dark humor, and a brilliant plot. It tells the story of of Uganda's strife at the hands of a vicious dictator, a good history lesson without the boredom!

Corpse Bride i was going to nominate Nightmare before christmas, but i think CB is a better film personally. I like the all star cast, its great portrayal of the afterlife in comparison to life. And the fact it is a love story about how love can survive beyond death.

I'll nominate:

Saving Private Ryan
The opening scene is a marvel of cinema. It's so intense, sickening and realistic that it left a lasting impression on me after all these years. I don't think it has been surpassed in terms of a battle scene yet. Definitely something I'd recommend to see before it was too late.

The Crow
An intriguing dystopian film noir story that has aged surprisingly well. A great cast and outstanding locations make this a film to remember for all fans of the genre.

Backing:
Lost in Translation
Life Aquatic
Heat
Philedelphia

EDIT: Guess my SPR is a backing, not a nomination.

Backing the crow, sorry for SPR GA!

Who cares, I'll go for broke here!

Hero
My favourite wuxia film to be released over the past few years. The plot wasn't anything ground breaking, but the visuals and the kung fu were outstanding. The colours were so vibrant and memorable and brilliantly interwoven with an enjoyable and entertaining film. Definitely something I would enjoy watching.

Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope
Genre-defining science-fiction which spawned a huge expanded universe and all new levels of fandom across the globe. Iconic characters and a storyline that borders on gospel. Everyone knows this film and the characters involved, which is testament to its qualities.

Outbreak
Better than some other films nominated. An all-star cast is tasked with defending the world from a highly-contagious pandemic virus. Slightly ridiculous in places, but intense throughout. Hilarious opening scene!

Kill Bill vol. 1
At best, QT is an insufferable and smug bastard, but Kill Bill was like nothing I'd ever seen before at the cinema. The same disjointed method of story-telling, but a refreshing blend of different genres and homages to various cinema styles. Left a lasting impression for it's over-the-top violence and soundtrack. Top class entertainment.

Backing - The Matrix
