Great film, but could have been an excellent one had there been a lead actor in there instead of a metrosexual pretty boy with a bland, one dimensional acting style

Interesting to see a film's star outacted by just about every member of the support cast
I think Bloom with a beard made for a good knight. (no homo)

Shawshank was and still is a great film and deserves to be up there. Other favourites of mine are Midnight Express, Gladiator, and Goodfellas. I can't believe I still haven't seen any of the Godfather films!  :-\

Brave heart has to be up there

One of my faves for sure.  Mel Gibson always nails war movies.

Great film. Also think Raging Bull deserves a mention.

I also have to admit to having a huge liking for "Boyz in da Hood" (by no means one of the greatest, but definitely my favorite of that genre).

I agree with what an earlier poster said, the AFI list is better:

(They got Raging Bull #4)

Anybody remember Robot Jox?
By no means the greatest film ever, but I was a kid when it came out and I thought it was badass.
I remember wishing the main character was played by Arnold, it would have been so awesome.

Lol, Roadhouse and big trouble in little china, are classics.  Swayzie and Russell are alphas all the way!

Outsiders was a great flick.  I remember being sad seeing the Karate Kid die.

SOme damn fine movies mentioned above, but I just saw a couple that may not be on anyone's Best List but were damn impressive none-the-less.

I have  a feeling that most of you GetBiggers have never seen either of them though.

Arena - Fighters kidnapped and held captive and forced to fight to the death for an underground "TV" network that is broadcast via the internet. Good story, good fighting, and a damn good ending.

Chronicles - How three teenagers handle their newly acquired super-powers. It's a small independent but some in Hollywood say it's the best super-hero movie ever made.
I own a copy of Arena......good movie!
