You mispelled Escape to Victory.
The Great Escape has an awesome theme song, though, which I often whistle while I"m walking along. It's super catchy.

Well, I liked and recommend Azumi for martial arts. For story, it's a movie based on the idea of a badass female ninja that was an orphan with 9 others. They fight as a unit and eventually one of their targets comes for them instead of the other way around. Azumi is one of the strongest and it is over the top action.

Reservoir Dogs. Seriously, the one that put Tarantino on the map was a pretty good story with a lot of twists and turns.

Lost Boys - I unno about the sequel. But there is no way you could NOT hear about the original if you're older than 20.

My name is Jagos, and I approve of this message.

Oh: if you ever have to watch one shitty teen coming-of-age comedy (and I think we basically all have to watch at one time or another at least one shitty teen coming-of-age comedy), make it License to Drive. Just for the way the movie throws gauntlet after hellish, ridiculous teenage gauntlet into Corey Haim's path, and he just throws himself into them one after the other in his unbreakable determination to score with a teenage Heather Graham. I think the movie is best summed up when as he's finally scored face-time with the Designated Love Interest, he turns around to see the tow truck driver wheeling off with his car, and - in a moment where lesser teen-movie protagonists would resign themselves to running futilely after a rapidly disappearing vehicle yelling "Waaaaait!" and then pouting pathetically at Heather in hopes of a pity fuck - Corey Haim throws himself onto the hood of the moving truck and makes that motherfucker give back his ride.

The Shawshank Redemption & The Green Mile are greats, IMO.

Edited to add:
I don't think Time Bandits & The Adventures of Baron Muchosen have been mentioned either.

SWB

Waxworks 2: Lost in Time

Seriously, changed my whole life.

A lot of great ones have already been mentioned, but...

Has no one mentioned Ghostbusters? Really? Tell me I just missed someone mentioning it. It and Ghostbusters 2 are extremely funny, classic movies.

And Back To The Future, sequels not required. It's just... I dunno. A classic. Really, a Delorian is my vehicle of choice, second only to the Batmobile.

Any Studio Ghibli movie. Miyazaki's a genius in art and plot (even if they tend to get a bit cheesy), and if you haven't seen any, you need to get some Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro ASAP.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It's just so silly. So silly and awesome. Swallows and coconuts and rabbits and black nights and every stupid quote you could ever need.

Honestly, I love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind for the sheer detail it goes into.

Another movie I like is Broken Flowers. It goes from oddball to comedy to solemn quickly and abruptly.

Dirty Pretty Things is a good film about how far you're willing to go to get what you want, and to a lighter extent moral ambiguity.

Transamerica is about people who are fucked up and have to get along.

Also I never enjoyed the Goonies.

Somehow from this post, I got to remembering about The Warriors and Clockwork Orange. Still good movies mind you, but what is this Waxworks about?

The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Won't win any awards but god damn it was a great movie. I still get all pumped up when the theme song starts up for the second time in the movie right at the end and all the Foot soldiers go flooding out of the sewer, pursued by the Turtles.

The second one was...okay, up until Vanilla Ice.

NEVER SEE THE THIRD ONE

Boondock Saints was great not only for the prayers, the murdering, and for giving us the useful term, "Fuckass," but also for that scene where the guy sets his gun down and blows the damn cat all over the wall. I laughed until I cried.... it was one of those perfect moments in cinema.

For Anime films, Cowboy Bebop: Knocking on Heaven's Door was beyond excellent. Intensive storyline, well-drawn scenes and characters, and the voice-acting for both the original and the English-dub were much better than most you'd find anywhere.

Pixar has continued to impress me with Wall-E. To date, I think the only projects of theirs that didn't really do it for me were Monsters Inc. and Cars. Wall-E, despite it's quite limited script in the majority of the movie, was incredibly charming, funny, and overall a great joy to watch with it's unique humor.

And while The Love Guru bombed in theaters, for a belly-laugh, I would recommend it. Not for uptight types, the movie features plenty of crude and ridiculous humor, but if you can laugh at word/dick/fart jokes, you'll find plenty to enjoy. If it becomes a Good Distraction for you, it will free you from emotional pain. If, however, it is a Bad Distraction you will be left with a mouthful of whiz. I think about the only thing that hurt for me was listening to Jessica Alba butcher a classic song by attempting to sing it in the fashion of an Indian songstress. I'm not sure if it was because of her, or because of the style she was attempting to use, but something failed there.
