In no particular orderand just a sample of some of my favorites, but hopefully a few different one's from those that have already been suggested:
Taxi Driver
Quadrophenia
Human Traffic
From Dusk till Dawn (and ALL Tarantino films. I know this isn't technically a Tarantino film..)
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Swordfish
Naked Lunch (I challenge anyone to watch this and NOT think it is the most fucked up thing ever.)
Fight Club
The Green Mile
Dead Poets Society
There are loads more, but as you can see, not really into all out action movies, more into the thought provoking ones.

This will change in 5 minutes, but here goes:
Weird Science
Terminator
Ghostbusters
Lock up (Stallone is a fucking philosopher dude!)
Trading Places
Rocky III
The Whicker man (best ending ever)
The Sure Thing
Kickboxer
The Usual Suspects
Really, this is more of a list of films I've seen most, so kinda the same thing.

I cant believe that Life of Brian hasnt surfaced yet. Tis every bit of a classic as Withnail.
Another good contender has to be Sexy Beast.

For me, ten best are (no particular order):
Spaceballs
We where soldiers
Star wars 4 (first edition)
Platoon /
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platoon_(film)
Sorry for URL, but BBcode don't like the _(film) in it
You have to copy/paste the url with _(film)
American history X
Windtalkers
Memoirs of a geisha
Les tontons flingueurs English title = Crooks in Clover / Best French film of all times for me -
One cult scene from this film (no english version founded)
The fifth element
The horse whisperer
Special price for Midnight express /
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Express_(film) - Same as Platoon for URL
.
I know, i said ten best, not eleven
So much more films ...
