Dude, Ghostbusters has to top mine. That movie is freakin' hysterical. It's also a family tradition. Three or four times a year we all get together to watch it and laugh and laugh and laugh.
On the extreme opposite end of the spectrum, Monster is gutwrenching and beautifully done. Not terribly accurate as a biography, really, but an amazingly human film anyway. It is very difficult to watch, though - pretty traumatic, so be forewarned.
Happiness is another one that I love but which is too squicky for most people to watch. Todd Solondz, so, yeah. It's brutally cheerful and horribly compelling.
Silence of the Lambs is pretty rockin' too. Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins outdid themselves.
Dustin Hoffman blew me away in Rain Man. That was a great flick.
I'm not sure those are my absolute top 5, but they're up there.
