I'm a sentimental bastard, but I'd definitely have to throw The Elephant Man on this list as well.

@Kous, nice stems.

Harold and Maude! I knew that you'd list that one! What a great movie.

Jay, I've attempted to watch 8 1/2 while doing homework twice now and failed. Such a beautiful movie, which requires full attention!

Dead Man
Red Beard
Fist Full of Dollars
Citizen Kane
Who Framed Roger Rabbit

I heart Huckabees is one of the few movies I can watch over and over and quote every line. Semi-dark comedy mixed with an existential crisis seems to be a good recipe for a movie. They quote a contemporary thinker who I am interested in Joseph Campbell, and include a hilarious reference to Plato's Allegory of the cave. Hoo-rah.
