Bladerunner (I like the noir voiceover, but the Director's Cut ending. Also, NOT a Replicant.)
The Breakfast Club
Labyrinth
Legend
Dark Crystal
Ghostbusters
Conan the Barbarian
Highlander
Jason and the Argonauts
Monsters Inc
Terminator (just the first one)
Original Star Wars Trilogy (There were only ever three films, I don't care)
Indiana Jones Trilogy (Likewise)
Serenity (See above for why I like space cowboys)
(*)Honourable mention to Peter Jackson for getting Middle Earth almost perfectly.
Bringing Up Baby
Casablanca
Weismuller's 'Tarzan' films
Rathbone's 'Holmes' films, likewise....
Is that twenty, or more than twenty, or how are you counting this? Because once I start getting into b&w Hollywood, we could be here for a long time... And there's my gleeful love of cartoon colours and reckless lunatics that makes the latest Marvel stuff fun, too. I mean, I don't quite like what Joss did with the Avengers, which is heresy of a sort, I know, but it gave us the Science Bros. Even if I think Loki was obviously being controlled by Thanos, bloody idiot heroes.
...damn, I forgot 'Truly, Madly, Deeply', which made me bawl and cemented an undying love of Alan Rickman, even with the horrible moustache.
edit: And 'The Prestige' , an instance where the film blows the book out of the water.
edit2: Ladyhawke! How the hell did I forget that one, it's a keystone.
edit3: Big Trouble in Little China
