-Every single Coen Brothers movie, ever (If you don't know who they are, that includes No Country For Old Men, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, O Brother Where Art Thou, Blood Simple, Miller's Crossing, The Hudsucker Proxy, and others I'm forgetting)
-Brazil
-Blade Runner
-The Silence of the Lambs
-The Usual Suspects
-Memento
-Lost In Translation
-LA Confidential
-The Battle for Algiers
-Welcome to Collinwood
-Good Will Hunting
-The Conformist
Also will edit as more come to mind.
I didn't think I would be able to agree with anyone nor decide on anything for myself in this thread, but maybe you've convinced me with BRAZIL. BUT WHICH CUT?
The Battle of Algiers is also one of my all-time favs, but I don't know if I would call it one of the greatest films ever made.
There were two different endings right? The one I saw was not happy.
Also, I apparently saw the bad version of Blade Runner.
Not really arguing that any of these are the greatest, just the best that I've seen and can think of off the top of my head.

The Searchers (John Wayne's best)
12 Angry Men (Lee J. Cobb stole this one)
Stalingrad (subtitled, but excellent)
The Alamo (1960s version)
The Public Enemy (The infamous grapefruit scene is a classic)
Red Dawn (Wolverines!)
Stalag 17 (Spellbinding WWII Mystery)
Captain's Courageous (Someone said it already, but great film)
Tora! Tora! Tora! (My grandfather was in this one.
)
They Still Call Me Trinity (The restaurant scene alone is worth it)

Although i must say i enjoyed it 20 years or so ago, when i last watched it .... but i can't help thinking that it will not have faired well against the ravages of time ... has it?

Nope, but at the time it was a horror movie to me.

How about I am Legend. That's a new one, but it was good.
I did say I am legend earlier
Saw this the other night. Not too impressed. Nice atmosphere in the first two thirds, Will Smith was on good form... Crap ending. The original film version was better. They didn't develop the zombies at all, which was an avenue they could have explored to a much greater degree...

What's the big deal with that movie? sheesh, just another hollywood blockbuster, it looks like.
If you want to see something unique, see No Country for Old Men. Now that one is a shocker.

I am too, even though I'm pretty sure that it'll be pretty bad. Here's why: THE STAR TREK TRAILER WILL BE SHOWN FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.
