Forgot so many in my list...

Pulp Fiction
Ong Bak
Watchmen
The Dark Knight
Blade Runner
Couching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Aliens
Akira
What Women Want (I don't know why, I just have to watch it when it's on)

If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.

Apparently.

I would contest that Stalker is Sci-Fi - being based on Roadside Picnic by the Strugatsky brothers. It's got probably the best cinematography of any film I know.

This is very interesting in that you can get a real insight into forum members

Indeed but most of the time someone at least pick one/two film(s) out that has been named before, Alien and Blade Runner are for example very popular.
If we should do a top30 they will pretty much look the same I think, at least for 1/3th of the list most likely with the couple of odd members though
