I could get pretentious and say Battleship Potempkin, ( which is a stunning movie by the way) but this week I would have to go for Leon....
in no particular order:
casablanca
the good, the bad, and the ugly
star wars (the real star wars, made before evil aliens replaced lucas with a hollow plastic shell)
some like it hot
the wizard of oz

Impossible to pick just one, and the list changes from year to year (for most I think)
Dances With Wolves
Ben-Hur
Fight Club (after at least 3 viewings)
Mystery Science 3000 The Movie (Funniest movie and series of all time)

why aren't we giving any space to "Seventh Seal"?
Citizen Kane brings up an interesting sidebar relative to American tastes -- we had a huge snowstorm in the midwest a few years ago and one of the planes stuck on the tarmac at Detroit had run out of movies to show. Someone had a VHS copy of "Citizen Kane", but when the stewardess began showing it people complained loudly that it was in black and white. I guess they wouldn't be able to show "Seven Samurai" or "Yojimbo" either.
And colorization is the bane of the kinophile's existence.

(saw this film when i was a kid. I liked it alot and saw it many times at the cinema. It must have made an impression, because when people ask me; what do you think is the best movie you have seen. I think of The Goonies. I have looked for it at videostores but cant find it. I would probably get very disapointed if I see it again.)
