Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope 1977,  PG)
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope
Bar none, my absolute favorite movie of ever and all time. I can even tolerate Greedo shooting first - barely.
This baby hits it on all cylinders.

National Lampoon's Animal House 1978,  R)
National Lampoon's Animal House
"Excuse me sir, is this the Delta house?"
The funniest, most quotable movie of all time - and nothing you can say will make me change my mind.

The Breakfast Club 1985,  R)
The Breakfast Club
A brain...
an athlete...
a basket case...
a princess...
and a criminal.

With tons of memorable quotes, laugh-out-loud scenes and memorable characters, 'The Breakfast Club' is, hands down, the best "teen movie" made. In an hour and a half, John Hughes managed to sum up high school life circa 198something and give those of us who saw the movie while living the life hope. Hope that we weren't alone in being labeled by adults; hope that things could "only get better".

Die Hard 1988,  R)
Die Hard
How good is this movie? Lets just say that whenever you read about an action film these days, it's pitched as "Die Hard in/on a ____(blank)______".

North by Northwest 1959,  Unrated)
North by Northwest
The classic Hitchcock "Wrong Man" movie has it all; action, suspense, humor and romance. Anyone that likes movie like "The Figitive" and any "man on the run" movies should look this one up and see how masterfully this type of story can be delivered.
6
Rocky 1976,  PG)
7
Clerks 1994,  R)
8
Godzilla, King of the Monsters! 1956,  Unrated)
9
Night of the Living Dead 1968,  R)
Night of the Living Dead
"They're coming to get you, Barbara. IN fact, there's one now!"
The original and classic - to truly see this movie you need to track down the Millennium Edition and stop watching crappy public domain versions with muddied blacks and muted whites.
