You spelled Guyver wrong I think... and the sequel was painfully cheesily awesome...

and don't forget the Killer Tomato and Evil Dead movies and "Big Trouble in Little China"... and "The Last Dragon" (main character is a black martial artist referred to as "Bruce Leroy"

and +10 to Tank Girl

It has recently come to my attention that not everyone has seen "Akira" if you are in this category, please rectify this situation at your earliest convenience.

Hmmmm I don't if any of these have been mentioned before but here is some that I would watch again:

"Brazil" - Terry Gillam!
"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" -cliche I know
"Wizards" -from 1977
"The Jabberwocky" - semi monty python-ish
"Time Masters" -1982 (French?)
"Transformers" - 1986 (It's ch-ch-ch-cheesy, but it has Planet eating space god and a great crowning ceremony scene ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4iwY2LXhz0 ), that I'd love to see reproduced elsewhere. And for some reason the Spacy environments in Starcraft 1 always reminds me of back ground art from this movie.
"The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" - 1966 Apparently is a trilogy, but I have yet to see them all.
"High Noon" - Another Western that might not be as popular today
"Lawrence of Arabia" - 1962
"Treasure Island" - 1990 No Orsen Welles, but a good cast, from what I remember?
"Excalibur" - 1981 (So bad, but so very awesome.)
"Princess Bride" - I don't know if I should admit this with a name like that, but it is a good movie regardless. The book although different may be better?
Alfred Hitchcock movies?
"Manchurian Candidate" - 1959
"Young Frankenstein" - Mel Brooks film, maybe throw in "Blazing Saddles" too?
"Top Gun"? - hahaha :P I can't stand Tom Cruise, but this one is a classic about my beloved period of the 1980s.
"Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" - 1968

As you can see I haven't seen too many recent films that have really caught my attention.

Sergio Leone's next film, 'Once upon a time in the West' is generally considered his other masterpiece (better than the others in the 'dollars' trilogy). Incredible moody atmosphere with an epic western backdrop. He also made the gangster flick, 'Once upon a time in America'.

I really didnt like Once upon a time in the west...It was so cheesy and it was silly but tried to take itself seriously...
The good the bad and the ugly is silly in a good way and doesn't take itself seriously and the characters are so awesome, the best spaghetti western ever, it's prequels are not as good but also nice.
Once upon a time in america has a supreme cast and is very gritty and serious(also long as hell i think the directors cut is more than 3.5 hours), the American theatrical version was butchered and recut and shortened but the original directors cut is amazing, if you can be arsed to sit through 3-4 hours of movie.

One thing about Sergio Leone that makes his films even more awesome is that he works with Ennio Morricone.

Ohh. I did like that one too. But I have to agree that b/c Good Bad Ugly is more flexible movie that it is more enjoyable to me.

Sounds like an opposite to American History X.

This is England is an awesome movie. There was a recently broadcast sequel series: "This is England 86" which is also really worth a watch.

this is england: i'll watch that

into the void: it was great; mightyone maybe we have similar tastes in movies i've noticed as this thread has progressed (or at the very least documentary)

bigger, faster, stronger : documentary from the perspective of a bodybuilder in the USA trying to determine if using steroids for training is morally wrong. was very well produced and edited, and very entertaining.

will it be good?...
I have to say that i am so sick of watching American troops in movies...especially after they were so awfully caricatured in the transformers movies...
Time to give the US special police forces and national guard some screen time XD

"The Rite" with Anthony Hopkins (great actor).

This was an awesome movie, especially if you like suspenseful scary movies.
