Best cinematic experience - 'Tell No-One' (when you physically feel your heart beat quicken / strengthen watching a scene, you know it's a winner). Do remember coming out of 'The Matrix' & 'Pulp Fiction' thinking WOW! too, though.
Fave home watch - 'L.A. Confidential' (never gets old) or 'The Lives of Others' (gripping)
Cant narrow it down to one but:
One flew over the cuckoos nest
Le Hain
Black Hawk Down
Bad Boy Bubba (aussie film, very bizzare)
Goodfellas

"Local hero"
The Wild Bunch or Porco Rosso,Get Carter,Goodbye Lenin, Betty Blue, battleship Potemkin,depends on my mood really, too many to name just one
excalibur
The Italian Job
If I'm pushed, I'd have to say the Lord Of The Rings trilogy.
Despite the misguided attempts at adding a bit of humour, the huge liberties taken with the story and the evils of "Hollywood Blockbusterism" it still was clearly made with a great love and respect for what's my favourite book and for every cringeworthy moment there's several genuinely moving ones that bring a lump to my throat.
It was fantastic to see these characters that I've loved from childhood finally done justice on the big screen.
Memento.
The good, the bad and the ugly. Love spaghetti westerns...
1 favourite is not possible!
Near Dark

Amazing that Highlander is someone's favourite - it's the only film I've ever walked out of!
Blues Brothers
Memento
I watched that the first time drunk, then again in the morning with a hangover, still confused the hell out of me, boy am I thick 😉
Can't just pick one but the top film is just pipping it from my choices
Seven
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Pulp Fiction

[i]Access the special features section of the DVD. Wait for the 'Memento Mori' picture to move and the pic of Leonard with a pic in his mouth to take up most of the screen (best wait for the words 'Memento Mori' to be barely visible at the edge of the screen). Press enter/play. A screen will come up telling you you have found the hidden version of the film. Click on 'Play'.
And then watch the film in chronological order including the end credits rolling backwards at the beginning and the opening segment running forwards.[/i]
SHORT VERSION FOR REGION 1 When The Pictures start to appear PUSH the " NEXT " button to skip to the next section. Once you do that you will then come to the menu
. PUSH the " NEXT " button again and wait up to 10 seconds. The Movie Will Start, If it does not then you failed to do this properly, which is VERY RARE!
Four weddings and a funeral.

I am loving the fact that only one other person has mentioned Serenity. Such a great film, and so little exposure.
I was under the impression that serenity was a suprise smash hit by all accounts. Great film & very good series (firefly)
Some good picks here
Though I love a great many films, 'The Wicker Man' (original edit, not directors cut) and 'Let The Right One In' stand above all others for me.
Some other obscure random great ones worth seeking out if not seen:
Old Boy
Funny Games (original, not re-make)
Grizzly Man (documentary)
Riding Giants (documentary)
The Ring (original, not re-make)
Seven
Amadeus
Passion of the christ
Batman begins
Meet Joe Black
Personally Betty Blue, but plenty of excellent films already mentioned.
Grosse Point Blank,
Closely followed by Serenity...
Do I detect a theme amongst the STW massive?
Star Wars
Der Untergang
