hey, made a few suggestions, substitutions, and subtractions. just a few more ideas. :) but its a nice solid list of fun movies.

Gladiator (+1 or sub with the new 3 disc spec ed of Ben Hur)
Lord of the Rings Trilogy(extended editions)
Terminator Trilogy (-1 i'd say skip T3)
Pirates of the Carribean
Black Hawk Down
Saving Private Ryan
I,Robot (substitute Blade Runner here)
Chicago (i'd say Moulin Rouge over chicago)
The Italian Job
Star Wars I-VI
Master and Commander
U-571
Blue Planet (Step into Liquid as a sub or +1)
Monsters, Inc
Heat
Armageddon
Kill Bill Vol 1&2
The Incredibles
The Abyss
Indiana Jones collections
The Fifth Element
Jurassic Park Trilogy (-1 JP3 i thought was pretty useless)
Finding Nemo
The Lion King
Star Gate
Toy Story 1&2
I-Robot (-1, you mentioned it above :) )
Twister
Jaws
The good, the bad and the ugly (+2 get the whole trilogy here Fistful of Dollars and For A Few Dollars More)
Unforgiven
Crouching Tiger (Hero and House of Flying Daggers would make a nice chinese cinema trilogy here)
X2: X-Men United
Top Gun
Lawrence of Arabia
Das Boot
Batman
Batman Begins
Airplane
Blade Trilogy
Fight Club (+1 and Se7en)
Starship Troopers (I'd substitute the spec edition of Robocop if you can find it, the unrated version is awesome)
Sky Captain (i'd sub with Sin City for the better story and the equally, if not more, impressive visual feast.)
Die Hard
Bourne Idenity
Aliens
The day after tomorrow (-1 i personally thought this a pretty solid crap movie, but a good disaster flick could be The Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno, Airport (which would be a nice compare with Airplane))

And just a few suggestions:
Pulp Fiction
Memento
Donnie Darko
True Lies
Ran
Godfather 1 + 2

happy viewings!!

I don't know if this is what you're getting at but Armageddon and JP II were just not good movies and what about the first Alien?

Armageddon



I would definetly take that one away. I went during day time where ticket price is half, but I am still mad about spending that much money [and time] on this movie :mad:

Hey Kam,
Those are some nice recommendations. Yeah a few of the trilogy's became mainly special effects(JP3 for instance) but I listed the whole trilogy for completist reasons. I think the additions of Hero and HOFD is a good idea.

100% correct about Pulp Fiction also.
