Great lists all around.

The Usual Suspects is one I saw listed that not alot of folks know about. Great movie.

 

[CrimsonChuck]

I include comedies because IMHO it is just as tough to make a great comedy as a great drama.

1) Shawshank

2) Bowfinger (Steve Martin's best movie since the early 1980s)

3) Fight Club

4) The Waterboy (we need some Adam Sandler up here, but we could easily have Billy Madison).

5) Run Ronnie Run (this was done by the Mr. Show people and wasn't even released in theaters, but is still one of the funniest movies that I have ever seen)

Honorable mention to Ace Ventura (the first one), Liar Liar, Me Myself and Irene, Oh Brother Where art thou?, Tommy Boy and Thank You for Not Smoking, Silence of the Lambs, The Truman Show, Fifth Element and Total Recall

nice to see Run Ronnie Run on this thread. One of the funniest movies of the last 10 years that almost no-one knows about.

I liked Forrest Gump a lot, not so much I want to watch it every week but I still liked it a lot. Pulp Fiction was a movie that I couldn't get into and thought was a total waste of a bag of popcorn.

 

[NashTIDE]

I have another honorable mention:

LA Confidential, cant believe this one didnt make anyone's list
