Mine would be the same as yours, but take out Miracle (haven't yet seen it) and replace that with Band of Brothers.

Seven Samurai is a very important film to me. I can watch that over and over and catch something new everytime. Kurosawa was a genius and an artist. Film was his canvas, and his imagery were his brushstrokes. I love that film. I could be stranded on a desert island with just a copy of Seven Samurai, and equipment to view it.
Jaws always meant a lot to me too, from a storytelling aspect. That is how a master tells a story.
Close Encounters...I could spend a whole thread on that movie alone...how it is a metaphor for man's relationship with God: The presence of beings from up above inspires people to create something (images of Devil's Tower), and their creations lead them back to the source of their inspiration. That is the nature of art, creation, and how we interact with God, spelled out right there for us, and in such a beautiful way.

Indiana Jones,
James Bond,

Hrm....
The Passion of the Christ is the only really moving movie experience I've had that brought me to actually having my eyes tear.
Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers are excellent and shows us what WWII really was and because of them I now have a greater appreciation for the military and veterans as a whole along with history in general.

Life is Beautiful definitely moves me, and so does It's a Wonderful Life. Both of them inspire me to live in the moment and realize that there's always a silver lining to every cloud in our lives.

Life is Beautiful is a foreign film with the Italian Jew? Yes, very good movie; a little hokey at times but still very touching.
Well, I guess SW and Indy are 'moving' in the fact I have one massive action figure collection for both. I have 9 years worth of SW toys ('95 - present, still collecting them) and all the Indy toys (Hasbro's RotLA, LJN'S ToD, and Disney).
I also can and do quote them quite often.... sometimes unknowlingly.

hmmm I counted just the other day, i have at least 20 but im pretty sure i havent found them all. And 12 or 13 about it. You know, The Essential Guide to Characters and other ones about ships. Really i have no life and spend all my time reading Star Wars and look at Indy stuff. My pals thinks im dumb, but i cant stop it.

I acutally dont really feel like its the same thing. i mean maybe theres some similatries between them. If you really want something different, try The Bounty Hunter Wars, you get to follow and learn a lot more about Boba Fett and why he is the best. But this did come out before the prequels, so if you are just now going to read them, you already have an idea why he is so good.
12 Angry Men - viewpoint is the most important thing in attempts to find the truth
1776 - what seems, in hindsight, as if it were destiny for some untouchable demigods could really have been incredibly difficult for ordinary men to achieve
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington - Against incredible odds, right, justice, and innocence can prevail
Harvey - it's the sane who are really crazy
That's four...I'll leave the fifth spot open.
