Probably Transformers 2. The storyline and characters were just so top-notch and I thought the film was really well directed.
LOL
My real favorites in no particular order.
Fight Club
The Matrix
Star Wars
Toy Story
Lord of the Rings
Forest Gump
Edit: The Shawshank redemption (how could I forget)
I am a man of many tastes.

No Country for Old Men. I can watch that over and over again. My wife hates it because I can watch it over and over again. Anton Chigurh in that movie is so cold and uncaring and has some great lines.
Chigurh: You know how this is going to turn out, dontcha?
Moss: No. Do you?
Chigurh: I think you do. So this is what I'll offer. You bring me the money and I'll let her go. Otherwise she's accountable. The same as you. That's the best deal you're going to get. I won't tell you you can save yourself because you can't.
Moss: Yeah I'm goin' to bring you somethin' all right. I've decided to make you a special project of mine. You ain't goin to have to look for me at all.
Love this one ! The night we bought it, mrs mem and I watched it twice back to back. "we are in the nazi killing business" and "business is a booming"

I felt it was okay but I didn't like the way they handled Optimus' death. As a kid, when he died, I CRIED. When he died in the movie I was like oh okay they'll get him back. It didn't invoke anything close to those emotions. The ending was too cartoony for me as well. The first one, however, took me back to the 80s. I'm hoping Michael Bay will redeem himself with the 3rd installment.

so many to choose from, and you've all posted some good ones; however, there are a few that you've overlooked that should really be on this list:
The Princess Bride. This is my "desert island" movie. probably the most quotable movie ever. amazing cast, excellent dialogue, spectacular action and high adventure, and incredible romance.
Grosse Point Blank. Written as a joint effort by John Cusack and Jeremy Piven. superb dialogue. superb. I'll say it again, even if Joe comes out of his office to kick my ass...superb. (that was an Empire Records reference. 50 points for those of you paying attention). Any movie that can plausibly string together Pete Townsend, Violent Femmes, English Beat, The Specials and The Pixies so flawlessly in their soundtrack deserves a permanent spot on my shelf. all that plus Minnie Driver! You can't lose.

In fearful day, in raging night,
With strong hearts full, our souls ignite,
When all seems lost in the War of Light,
Look to the stars-- For hope burns bright!
I see a morphing from one to five so I want to share as well...
1) Casablanca (the movie that started all the cliches)
2) Star Wars (The original of course, because it started it all)
3) Sneakers (an all star cast and I love every aspect about it.)
4) Clerks (Kevin Smith at his finest)
5) Transformers: The Movie (the ONLY Transformers movie in my book. In fact, this is where I get my signature quotes and email quotes from.)

Impossible to say, since it changes depending on my mood, but I think the one that surfaces the most is Red Cliff. It's got good action scenes, a nice plot, good actors, absolutely fantastic music and it's actually based on true events (although in true John Woo tradition )

Wonderful story with an exciting ending
