A lot of the great movies have all been mentioned, Jurassic Park, ET, Godfather, Heat, have just inspired me to re-watch a lot of those absolute classics.
Sicario is a movie that I go back to often. Everything about it, to me, is perfect. Benicio Del Toro is just so incredible in that movie; cool, terrifying, sympathetic, frustrating. The scene where they make the convoy to Jurarez and the subsequent line up a the US Border on the way back is a cinematic masterpiece.
Traffic by Steven Soderbergh is a movie that I feel could never be re-made, to me it is perfect.
The Insider by Michael Mann.
Goodfellas is the perfect gangster movie; Scorcese at his peak.
Zero Dark Thirty and The Hurt Locker are fantastic films that don't need a single thing changed and had me completely captivated from beginning to end.
As far as comedies: I Love You Man with Jason Segal and Paul Rudd. Anchorman is Will Ferrell at his peak abilities. Dumb and Dumber is a movie that I reference likely every week.
