Hm...I'd have to say Enemy at the Gates or Braveheart

I agree with Braveheart and Goodfellas, haven't been around long enough to see most of the others.

I also liked A Beautiful Mind (althought most people thought the movie was slow and horriable) and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, which may or may not be a true biography movie as is my understanding.

I loved that movie too. Although it is a little weird and hard to understand the first time around.

A Beautiful Mind was awsome

Papillon is pretty good too.

I love Papillon.
