Here is my list in no particular order. please note- I like off beat movies.
1. Shawshank Redemption- it is alway on TV, and I watch it every time. Such a great story, great acting.
2.Tetsuo- The Iron Man- One of the most messed up foreign films you will see. You need to watch it over and  over to truely understand it.
3. Citizen Toxie- The Toxic Avenger 4- I love Troma movies. They are ridiculous, low budget, and hilarious. Toxic Avenger is a wonderful character, and number 4 has the best storyline.
4.The Lion King- Bet you didn't expect to see this on here.. One of the best disney movies I have seen. I still get all teary eyed when Mufasa dies..
5.Hellraiser- I love this movie. The characters are so far fetched, but so mesmerising. Pinhead was my favorite thing to dress up as for Halloween for years. Too bad they made so many horrid ones after this.
6.Fight Club- I adored the book, and I think Brad Pitt and Edward Norton did a great job of grasping the characters. If you love the movie, read the book.
7.Battle Royale- A foreign movie, with a truely odd story line. A bunch of kids get sent to an island and only one can get off. Kill or be killed. It has me on the edge of my seat every time I watch.
8.One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest- Jack Nicholson is fantastic in this movie. Again, I love the book, and he portrays his character exactly how I imagined him when reading the book.
9.Romper Stomper- Russel Crowes first movie. Controversial, but such a great story of friendship, relationships, and life.
10.Audition- The first time I watched this movie I was bored out of my mind..until the ending. Now every time I watch it I catch something else. Amazing Story, well written, and scares you senseless...but not in a normal horror movie way.
11.Mallrats- I adore Kevin Smith films. I think he is clever, and quite funny. I like this one the best because it makes me laugh the most. As a geek, having Stan Lee in a film is a plus too.
12.Ichi The Killer- Another foreign movie. The man who plays Ichi is quite demented, and plays the part perfectly. Quite an odd film.
13.10 Things I hate about You- Sometimes I don't want to watch horror or foreign films. I always watch this when I feel like that. I smile through the whole thing. Funny movie.
14.Man Bites Dog- A belgian mockumentary. Filmakers follow a murderer and record his "work". A dark comedy, and very good.
15.Bad Taste- my favorite Peter Jackson film.Low budget, quirky, and hilarious.

Half of those movies I know and love, and the other half I've not heard of! Sounds like I got some renting to do since it seems you have good taste :)
