Guess if I had to chose a movie that I could watch watch again and again, it would be the "Maltese Falcon".
Bogart was cool as a little tough guy, and I love a good mystery. Huston wasn't bad as a director either :-)
Before CGI, dialog was key. And that movie had it. Acting was stiff (no ad-libbing back then) but it worked
well in black & white.

I am such a movie fan it is impossible to pick a single movie. If someone told me I could only watch one for the rest of my life I'd tell them to keep it and live off my memories. I'm sure I'd get sick of any movie if that's all I could watch. And I'm sure if I tried to make a list of even 10 movies I'd rethink it and change it 5 bajillion times. The only way to win the game is not to play(name THAT movie).

The Lord of the Rings trilogy...one big, 12-hour movie.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." -- Ephesians 6: 12-13 KJV

"The Deer Hunter", closely followed by "Once Upon A Time In America". De Niro in both, probably a coincidence  Cheers, Slug

Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.

Sheesh 20mm, you drive a hard bargain with your tough questions!
My pick: Seven Samurai
A 3.5 hour movie that feels like it goes by in one hour whenever I watch it.

HEAT. Pacino Vs DeNiro. So awesome it inspired a couple of lunatics to think they could do the same, who failed miserably. The dialogue is pretty good, I think some who don't care for this movie don't fully grasp the meanings behind the dialogue.
Of course, it's a remake of an earlier movie by the same producer, someone recently published a Youtube video of a couple key scenes from the first version. But despite that "do over", HEAT is still my single favourite movie.

As in PICK ONE?! What are you trying to do to us!
I couldn't even begin do this with any less than at least 10 13 14 movies--and even then I'd cheat calling a trilogy a single movie.

Blade Runner
LOTR trilogy
The Matrix

Arrrr! It be The Fifth Element you scurvy dog! 
If you watch Jaws backwards, it's a heart warming story about a shark that spits out so many people that they have to open a beach.

Impossible to single out one particular, sorry  I think I'll copy Raw Cryptonite's list and change out some: I don't think I've seen Chinatown.. I must watch that one. Lonesome Dove Star Wars & Empire Strikes Back Blade Runner LOTR trilogy The Matrix trilogy 2001: A Space Odyssey Terminator Godfather I and II Howl's moving castle Pulp Fiction Leon Groundhog Day Alien Scent of a woman Rushmore The Bourne Identity + sequels
I will ignore all ideas for new works and engines of war, the invention of which has reached its limits and for whose improvement I see no further hope.
