Die Hard one of those movies you can always watch....

 

Back to the Future is a good one... didn't really come immediately to mind, but depending on the day, it could bump somebody.

I completely forgot about Django. That movie was so amazing in every way. Would probably be #5 or so all-time for me.

Seth loves that movie. You should ask him about it some time.

Another really, really good film: Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. I’d call it a movie, but some might debate it. Still, it was great.

With the exception of Quiz Show and Social Network, I've seen all those and really enjoyed each one.

Mystic River is a great movie. I know it won some Oscars, but it doesn't get a lot of talk in discussions like this one. I absolutely loved that movie. Dennis Lehane can write his ass off, if you're ever interested.

Zodiac is the most underrated movie of the last 20 years IMO.

I don't think about when they were made... to ID ones in the last 20, I'll have to think about it and look up the years...

Annie Hall is terrific, but Manhattan is Woody's masterpiece.
