  Lots of good movies being mentioned here...The Castle, Ex Machina, Blazing Saddles, 12 Angry Men, Cool Hand Luke...I Loved them all.

  Here are a few more to add to your list-

  Primer

  The Prestige

  Gone Baby Gone

  11:14

  The Kingdom

  Now I know none of these movies will ever make it on to the same lists as 12 Angry Men, Cool Hand Luke or Citizen Kane...I'm just throwing them out there if you're looking for something to watch. Let me throw a golf movie into the mix as well.

  The Greatest Game Ever Played

  FYI, it appears quite a few of these can be watched on Youtube.

  And for classic movies,"The Hustler" gets my vote as a must watch. Paul Newman originating the role of Fast Eddie, George C Scott as Burt Gordon, and Jackie  (The Great One) Gleason as Minnesota Fats makes for a great viewing experience.  And if they ever colorize it, the person behind it should be shot, then drawn and quartered.

  Oy! That scene shot as a shadow of Fast Eddie getting his thumbs broken still resonates. (I was about 12 years old at the time.)  Best line in the movie.............."Eddie! You owe me money!"  :-)

  I want to see the new Battle of the Sexes movie coming out. I bet that it's comically inaccurate and meant to cater to feminists and social justice warriors. Damn this PC nation.

  I love that someone mentioned *The Hustler*. It's one of those films with such raw emotion and grit that it sticks with you long after watching. Paul Newman's performance as Fast Eddie is just brilliant, and you're right. The scene where he gets his thumbs broken is unforgettable. Also, "Eddie! You owe me money!" is easily one of the most iconic lines in film history. I agree; colorizing it would ruin the whole vibe.
