Phhhhbt. Last time that was on telly I watched the first 10 minutes, got bored and turned over to something else, then turned back and caught the last 10 minutes. In doing this, I got to see all the salient points of the movie without wasting time watching hours of boring filler.
My pick:
The Last Temptation Of Christ

Like your selection there GDB ... If you liked Pulp Fiction, check out a movie called "Thursday" (Thomas Jane) if you haven't already, also "Freeway" (Reese Witherspoon & Kiefer Sutherland) and to a lesser degree "Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead".
I'd also add the following to the list:
Scent Of A Woman
Last Of The Mohicans
The Breakfast Club
Boyz 'n' The Hood
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Top Secret (Just cracks me up)
Johhny Dangerously (Ditto)
Total Recall
A Fish Called Wanda
Life Of Brian
And a squillion others that presently escape me...

Disagree there Rikke, both are great movies imho, but I wouldn't think much seperates them ... Given the recent spray you directed toward MK, I'll leave it at that!

A small part but a HUGE presence. Just reminded me of some more quotes for the "best quote" thread...
"Well
there goes the neighbourhood. Look! A nigger! A nigger in a cage! Nigger! Greaseball! Faggot! Nigger! etc! etc!"

Donnie Darko is an interesting choice. I really really wanted to love that film but it didn't quite do it for me, even though there's bits I do love about it.
Have you seen the director's cut where they replace the stunning Echo & the Bunnymen intro with a shite INXS song? BOO!

Goodfellas (1990 - Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Ray Liotta)
The best movie about the "mob" I have ever seen and what's more, it is basically a true story.
Casino (1995 - Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Sharon Stone)
Once again about the "mob" and basically a true story
"Tony Dogs was the toughest Irishman I ever met. For two days and nights we beat the shit out of him, I even stuck ice picks in his balls, but he still wouldn't talk"
