So cliche, but they genuinely are my top 5, so:

Pulp Fiction
Shawshank Redemption
Fight Club
2001
The Shining

The first 3 are indeed great films and cult classics but only the Shawshank Redeption would make my Top 5. That's another for the OP to try, but not before bedtime, it's quite long so start early or prepare for a late night!!!!

On that note The Green Mile is also a definite must watch.

I remember enjoying True Romance years ago too with Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette. Great film and story line. Was never a blockbuster but a great film nonetheless!

I was only 13 I think when T2 came out and my mum dressed me up smart to go the cinema to watch it as it was a 15 certificate!😃😃😃😃😄

If you're in to a sad films occasionally then I can recommend The Bucket List with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, very warming but also hard hitting and emotional about very real life issues. I rented it from Blockbusters (remember them!) a few years ago with the missus and got a Pizza Hut take away to watch it with. at the end I was literally blubbing so much I couldn't breathe, just like when you're a kid and you REALLY hurt yourself for the first time. Perhaps it just because it was based on things close to my own life I don't know??? I don't think I could watch it without proper crying again. I think everyone who has any kind of emotional feelings should watch it at least once.

The Descendants is also a very good film that is sad but enjoyable at the same time and also ticks all the boxes for the stereotypical "chick flick" for the ladies.

I saw Edge of Tomorrow the other night, the new Tom Cruise one. Had fairly low expectations, but it absolutely blew my PANTS off. Without doubt one of the best sci-fi films I have seen in the last 5 years. Its kind of a combination of Groundhog Day and Starship Troopers. LOVED it.

And if you're not bothered about watching something recent, then check out Sexy Beast. Ray Winstone is being Ray Winstone, but Ben Kingsley puts in one of the most horrifyingly menacing performances I have EVER seen. Its magnificent.
