I'm a sucker for the pretty basic humour of the Sandler Films

True Romance.

What a film. Written by Tarantino, Directed by Tony Scott. An amazing cast of top drawer actors including the late great James Gandolfini.

Immensely quotable, fantastically acted, and of course, that scene with Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken.

Cinematic perfection :)
 
I hope people will still want to be friends with me after seeing my list. :wideyed: :p

The Sound of Music
Pretty Woman
Notting Hill
The Holiday
Bad Santa
Pulp Fiction
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
 
Just this evening watched pretty Woman as it was on telly.. seen it a few times..

Hunt for red October
Attack the Block
Terminator 1 and 2
Heat (de niro and pacino same film.. OMG!)
Almost any bogart film... most of the old gangster classics


But ask me again in a year and the list will be different.
 
Star Wars
The Terminator
Serenity
Some kind of wonderful
Brief encounter
Casablanca

These are not my six favourite films, though some are in my top 10.
 
There's a lot of good stuff here but I don't think I could give a list so I'll just give one - "Jackie Brown". My current favourite author of crime fiction is Elmore Leonard for all sorts of reasons but partly his criminals are so believably criminally stupid and also because he writes very strong parts for women, of which Jackie Brown is a good example. (The book title is "Rum Punch".) "Pulp Fiction" which gets 4 votes above could easily have been written by Elmore Leonard, but wasn't as Tarantintino wrote the story, however Tarantino wrote the screen play and directed both theses films.
 
There are a number often mentioned above which I will happily watch again if they are on the telly, but the one film I watch over and over on DVD is Kenneth Brannagh's Henry V.

Ha! Ha! The Lawrence Olivier version of Henry V is the first film I can remember seeing - when it came out in 1945. It was a good film for its time but I probably would not watch it again except from curiosity.
