I think since this thread came about because of an Animal House quote, you should definitely start there. It doesn't age super well but it's still worth a watch.

And cheat this week by watching Wizard of Oz too with the kiddos.

I think there are better movies than these but I find the best movies from your list to be:
Animal House - Movie was shot at U of O but the horse incident happened at Oregon State;
Stalag 17;
Sunset Blvd.;
The Wizard of Oz;
Caddy Shack;
Monty Python and the Holy Grail;
Full Metal Jacket;
and
Master and Commander.

Some other great movies include:
The Big Country (one of my top five);
To Kill a Mockingbird;
Gone With the Wind (my aunt was the babysitter for the author, Margaret Mitchell. My aunt and my uncle were invited to the premier in Atlanta and to a party afterwards with all the big movie stars including Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh);
Forbidden Planet (an old science fiction that still has some great scenes in it that are nearly timeless);
Soylent Green;
West Side Story;
Oklahoma (one of my top five);
South Pacific;
Mr. Roberts (one of my top five, perhaps the best);
Raiders of the Lost Ark;
Star Wars;
2001 A Space Odyssey;
Chinatown;
Lawrence of Arabia;
[anything with Harold Lloyd in it];
I'll think of more later.

I've seen the Lord of the Rings / Hobbit Movies, Interesting story but I was having trouble reading when I was little so a family friend gave The Hobbit to help me "stay interested" and so outside of "Doctor Seuss" That was my first book! Been a huge Tolkien fan basically my entire life. Watched the Peter Jackson movies and they were really good though I didn't think the Hobbit Trilogy was as good. Still added most of those too my list.

You definitely need to watch Pulp Fiction if you haven't. I was listening to the Mark and Brian show which was a syndicated radio show based out of LA and they had Tarantino on as a guest and he told the story of how he hooked up with John Travolta. Tarantino invited Travolta out to his place on the coast to discuss the movie and Travolta goes up to his door (a multi unit complex) and knocks and Tarantino opens the door where Travolta without stepping into his place describes the unit to a T. It turns out when Travolta first came to Hollywood that he had rented the exact same unit years before

I liked Peter Jackson's King Kong with Naomi Watts...I also liked the original with Faye Ray and the one with Jessica Lang....Peter Jackson is a great filmmaker in my view.
