The first 2 Godfathers were indeed fantastic movies.
I'd probably go with Apocalypse Now, but it's a tough choice.
I hate threads that limit you to just "1" choice. That's impossible. I can't limit my favorite movie, or album to just 1. So I'm going to be a rebel and do 5.
Apocalypse Now
Fight Club
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Big Lebowski
Godfathers 1-2
Amen.
Sooo many great films out there though. Almost anything war/mafia related is great to me but I like a little of everything really. I haven't seen too many great films in a while though. It seems the only really good ones that have come out recently(that I have seen) are American Gangster and No Country for Old Men. There should be alot of good movies coming out this year though, I can't wait.

I'll pretend I didn't see you say that. It will be difficult, but I promise I'll do my best.

Shawshank Redemption is up there on my list. It's an oldie, but a classic none the less.

That is truly the dumbest thing I've ever heard. No one would agree with you on that quote.

There's just too many good movies and it's tough for me to list all of them. Here's 20:
Forrest Gump
Fight Club
Road to Perdition
The Green Mile
A Beautiful Mind
Se7en
The Godfather 1
Shawshank Redemption
There Will Be Blood
The Lord of the Rings
Pan's Labyrinth
The Fabulous Destiny of Amelie Poulain
The Prestige
American History X
The Pianist
The Sixth Sense
Training Day
Atonement
Big Fish
Oldboy
I'm not a fan of movies such as Goodfellas, Scarface and Raging Bull, but the Godfather trilogy is an epic.
EDIT: And no love for There Will Be Blood?

Sure they will. It's good, but not the greatest.
I'm sure it would have been much better if I had seen it when it first came out or soon after, but I just saw it for the first time a year or two ago.

Godfather
Wall Street

Some others:
Stranger than Fiction
Junebug
Die Hard
True Lies
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Bedazzled (with Dudley Moore)
Archangel
Sherry Baby
The Bourne Identity
Predator
Don't be a Menace to South Central while Drinking Your Juice in the Hood
...
I'm really going to need to fill this out from home.

Word to Raoul's list, not hardly a non-awesome movie in there (wasn't crazy about Black Hawk Down, and haven't seen about 5 others, but that's about it)

The Grapes of Wrath.
I just love that movie.
Also Citizen Kane is just great.
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is one of my favorites also.
I loved American Gangster and No country for old men recently.
