Gladiator - I thought the character development was weak and the story marginal, but the awesome fight sequences [with exception of the last one] made me want to go out and STAB! And, I love playing the Battle of Carthage scene when my downstairs neighblors get carried away with their rap music thumping away. Nothing a few crashing LFE chariots can't remedy.
The Usual Suspects - I saw this movie and can't remember a thing about it. Same with Resevoir Dogs.
Blue Velvet - Quirky, odd, and really looney. I love this movie!!! Especially the classic line, "Heinken?!! F that s!! Papst Blue Ribbon!!" I just laughed my ass off at the complete and utter absurdity.
Platoon - When I first saw this movie I thought it was great, but 10- 15 years later it doesn't have the same appeal. The Apocalypse Now Redux on the otherhand just amazes me.
Braveheart - I loved this movie. Very well made. Yes, it has lot's of inaccuracies. But so little of William Wallace is known that when Randall Wallace wrote it he used artistic license for film's sake. One thing disappointing I agree is that the Battle of Stirling Bridge had no...er well...bridge. At least the movie did help bring the plight of Scottish independence and pride to the attention of the world, and especially Britain.
Tom Hanks - I gotta disagree here. I think the scene from Castaway of him yelling and pining away for a blood-stained soccerball is classic.
