Let's see... Some particular favorites of mine are:
The Butterfly Effect, the theatrical version that is, NOT the director's cut. It's a very dark, violent, depressing movie and the original ending was very powerful. The director's cut just makes everything more depressing.
I'm a big fan of Star Trek, my favorite ST movies are First Contact and the new one. I love The Matrix, even the sequels - not as good as the original but still nice.
Taxi, a humorous French crime movie about (surprise!) a taxi driver with a seriously fast taxi, working together with the police against his will to catch a gang of German bankrobbers (He will lose his driver's license forever if he doesn't comply). The sequels get progessively less good up to the fourth and final (for now) film which has devolved into pure slapstick. Speaking of slapstick, Wrongfully Accused with Leslie Nielsen makes me laugh very hard.
National Treasure, not entirely plausible but still solid fun. Sequel is less good but okay.
The Tenth Kingdom, alright, it's actually a miniseries so I'm chaeting, but I really love it.
...That's actually quite a list.
Oh, I forgot to include the Lord of the Rings movies.
