La Dolce Vita -- the ending's like the last line of The Sun Also Rises. Such a punch in the gut. Toss in Nino Rota's score ...

Everyone hates the movie, but I loved the ending to The Blair Witch Project.

That was the best imo.

To the list of the 'Usual Suspects' (pun intended) that includes Chinatown and Dr. Strangelove, I will add Memento, which was awesome, Easy Rider that I liked for some odd reason, and Boogie Nights

+1 on Spanish Prisoner. First 20 mins of the film are completely uncomprehensible but the film quickly gets its legs. Some of the best have already been named. The Game The Snowman The Sting (c'mon, people!) The List of Adrian Messenger (The final reveal is awesome.) Malice (to a lesser extent)

Would be tough to come up with a top 5, as I probably have forgotten half the movies I've seen over the years, and I could probably list all the above movies in my top 5, but I'll give it a go:

Jaws
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Scarface (1983)
Lethal Weapon
The Untouchables

My mom and dad loved this movie, such that they hunted it down years after seeing it on TV.

The Passion of the Christ

But I had an idea how it would end from the beginning.

It's actually my father's b-day tomorrow and I'll be surprising him with a viewing. I know he'll get a kick out of it.

I was so glad when that ******* thing sank and I could leave.

That business with Lou Gossett Jr. and the F16 caught me off guard.

Yeah, I loved "Officer and a Gentleman," too.
