A lot of really solid picks on here.
Around the year 2000, my wife and I decided to watch as many of the AFI top 100 of the first 100 years of film as possible.
Solid additions from that list that haven't been mentioned
Hud with Paul Newman (1960?) I believe
Rear Window (1954) My personal favorite from Hitchcock.
I'd like to add
Life is Beautiful (1997)
blues brothers and caddyshack, 1980. best movies of all time.
for me, it's Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
Great
The below amuses me because I have opinions about most of these movies [indicated below] and depresses me because it reminds me that I just don't have much of any opinion about movies nowadays.
1. High Plains Drifter (1973)
2. The Godfather (1972) & Godfathher II (1974)
3. The Dirty Dozen (1967)
4. Patton (1970)
5. The Misfits (1960)
Some great movies indeed that year.

Never saw the actual movie but saw the preview MANY times and have etched in my memory the U-boat captain (?) screaming "Schneller, SCHNELLER!!!"
Maybe I'll watch it on youtube one of these days.
Valley Girl

The Internship (2013)- Two aging Gen-Xers lose their sales jobs and become interns at Google -- hilarity ensues.
It is an underrated comedy that has a nice story arc (not just a series of jokes).
I think that was the sequel to Wedding Crashers.
Of Mice and Men, (1992)
Hollywood Knights, 1980
Hard to decide on just one but one of my definite favorites, that still holds up really well, was: “Wag The Dog” from 1997.
Patton 1970
Bladerunner 1982
Pan's Labrynth 2006
