Most of my biggies have been mentioned -

The Usual Suspects
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Snatch
Pulp Fiction
Godfather I & II
Princess Bride

But there's a glaring omission...

jeez, I can't remember how bad that movie is until reading those quotes
 

don't get me wrong, I like my share of bad movies
 

Alien
Aliens  - if you haven't seen these, well... theres little hope for you.  Better nuke it from orbit, just to be sure.

American Beauty- Lester Burnham's morbid acerbity highlight this truly depressing examination of contempory suburamericana. That's one sad "highlight of the day".

American History X- The best performance of Norton's career so far features 'the stomp'. "I'm the most dangerous man in this prison. You know why? 'Cause I control the underwear. "

American Psycho- The perfect casting choice for Patrick Bateman is made in Christian Bale, the best actor of this generation.  Who knew serial killing could be so chic ? "I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your *bunghole*. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite."

Apocalypse Now- Conrad surrenders. Better than the book it stole from. "I love the smell of... "

Army of Darkness-  "Klatu Verrata  Nah*cough*cough*cough"  THE B movie of all time. Hail ASH!

Bad Santa- Is Billy Bob Thornton even acting in his performance?  "Shiite happens when you party naked."

Bad Taste- P.Jack makes good B movies, too.  "Stay where you are then, and I'll give you an eye witness description of this, intergalatic wanker! "

Beastmaster- better than both Conans combined.  "Ah, but sir; all pilgrims share a deep love of life; especially their own!"

Beerfest- between Cloris Leechman going down on sausages and classics like... "I always sleep better with a little sausage in me", how can it go wrong?

Black Hole, The- "There are three basic types, Mr. Pizer: The Wills, the Won'ts, and the Can'ts. The Wills accomplish everything, the Won'ts oppose everything, and the Can'ts won't try anything."  Probably the only good Disney Film ever made.

Blade- Some MF'ers are always trying to iceskate uphill, ya know ?  The SFX in this aged VERY POORLY however.

Blade Runner- Ridley Scotts  best film and that says a lot already.  Make it sci-fi, and you're set. "Twenty, thirty, cross-referenced."

Bound- "Who's dead, *fudge*face? Who? Who? I can't hear you, Johnnie. Guess again. Take another guess, Johnnie. Take another *goshdarn* guess.". 

Bubba Hotep- "Don't make me use myself on ya!". Ossie Davis rules, too.

Bully- The best of Larry Clark's films to date, great performances all around . "Are there any alligators in there?  Why don't you go skinny dipping and find out? "

Enough with the chick flicks already.
