Such Pig bait right there.
Have to agree on pretty much all of them, but particularly the comedies. All are basically amazing writing that was flawlessly executed on screen.
Off the top of my head, aside from the above quote:
Fight Club - Norton and Pitt nailed a book to film transition that I basically thought was impossible.
Sin City - Visually stunning, and nailed pretty much every aspect in the transition between mediums.
Shawshank - Cannot turn the channel if this movie is on, regardless of what point it's at. If it's just starting, I'm stuck there for 3 hours, helpless to resist it.
Ghostbusters - Peter Venkman may be my favorite single character in any movie, ever.
Star Wars: A New Hope - The movie basically redefined movie-making. Empire may be the better overall movie, but A New Hope changed the world of cinema.
The dedication you show to any particular console or company is inversely proportional to the number of times you have gotten laid. If you get laid enough, even if you prefer a certain brand, you just don't give enough of a shit to argue about it on the internet.
