I rented This is Spinal Tap today. I get home, have dinner, make some popcorn, sit down and I'm about to put the movie in. It is about 8:40 pm. The power goes out. I'm angry. I go outside to see if any powerlines are down. Nothing. It wasn't raining, there were no car accidents. Nothing. I have to light candles and read books for two hours before we get power. Needless to say, I haven't watched it yet.

Watch Dead Alive, but get the unedited version (aka Braindead). It's worth it just for the lawnmower scene. The R version cut too many of the good parts of that movie out.

A.I. - Probably the best sci-fi made.
American Beauty - the best movie ever made, in my humble opinion.
The Butterfly Effect - have not seen a movie this freaky since Vanilla Sky, which I can also recommend.
Oh, and The Big Lebowski.

The butterfly effect was a great idea for a movie, i wish they had another lead actor. Although asston did a better job then i though he was going to, i think a diffrent lead would have made the movie more appealing to other ppl.

Dune - the 1984 production, NOT the pos that the SciFi channel made in 2000
Minority Report - amusing, great effects
Amelie - french film, subtitled, but wonderful

Goodfellas
Godfather 1 & 2
Shawshank Redemption
I also thought Cold Mountain was really good.
BTW...The San Juan Islands are the best! I interned there on San Juan (@ the Lime Kiln lighthouse) back in '97 studying the whales and haven't been able to stop thinking about the islands since.
Beautiful place...
Chris.

I'm going to recommend Donnie Darko for a rather psychological "thriller" I really liked it. I'm also a big Jake Gyllenhaal fan.

Rat Race (John Cleese, John Lovitz = Awesome)
One Hour Photo (Robin Williams is very good in this, and it's a pretty decent thriller)
Meet the Parents (Yes, it's Ben Stiller's cookie cutter character, but it's still hilarious)

Oh yeah - that is another good film.
And I'll second 'One Hour Photo' as mentioned earlier (it even includes a small Mac-related line spoken by Michael Vartan's character [Agent Vaughn in Alias])
Here's another:
