I'm going on the top of my head here. I reserve the right to change things if need be. But, here's my 15.

Rocky (I)
The Godfather
The Godfather II
Die Hard
Mad Max: Fury Road
Scott Pilgrim vs The World
The Hangover (1)
The Big Lebowski
I-Robot
The Blair Witch Project
Jurassic Park (1st)
The Army of Darkness
All three Lord of the Rings (that will put me to 15)

I feel I gotta give Scott Pilgrim a chance. I know it's got a cult following. Great call on Army of Darkness. I've watched that multiple times with friends. Great lines everywhere. " this is my boomstick!!" " Shop smart, S Smart! Got it?!!"
Scott pilgrim is a keeper.  I didn't put it on my 15 but love the movie.  Bluths!

Couldn't do Scott Pilgrim.  I tried a couple of times.

Yup

Haha nice! Unfortunately, my first date with my wife ended up at a "gentlemen's club." A few friends of mine that we saw at our restaurant were going to one for a bachelor party, and my wife had never been to one and wanted to go. So, that's what we ended up doing, and let's just say it was awkward lol  :o

I'm watching Walking Tall (the remake) right now. It;s actually a pretty entertaining film that I always watch when it's on. It's one of the few "The Rock" films that I actually enjoy, though having Johnny Knoxville in there helps, too.

Doom is another entertaining movie with the Rock in it.

The Rock is great. He had about 15 minutes of screen time in that last Fast 7 Furious movie and had to say some really ridiculous dialogue and he sells the hell out of it. I also like one of his early movies, The Rundown. It's a little silly but great fun. I'm also looking forward to seeing Central Intelligence.
1957, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1968, 1969, 1974, 1976, 1981, 1984, 1986, 2008

Great choices given by fellow CB's!

My list is here and is about the writers:

Chinatown (Mrs. Mulray despondent "She's my daughter..." Gittes slaps her again...Mrs. Mulray "She's my sister...")

Casablanca (in real life, actor Viedt who played nazi Major Strasser, escaped the nazis and eventually emigrated to the US)

Wizard of Oz (Flying monkeys still scare the bejeezus out of me)

Men in Black (Tommy Lee Jones went to school in your neighborhood...Harvard)
The Fugitive (Kimble holds  Gerard at gunpoint..."I didn't kill my wife!")

Lawrence of Arabia (Oscar for Richard Bolt...definition of Messianic complex)

Animal House (..."Shot by his own troops...")
The French Connection (Roy Scheider as detective Russo in reply to Popeye's offer to go to a bar..."drink dis!...").

Twelve Angry Men (Fonda found the script and co produced..."Hi, this is Henry Fonda, I'm making a film...do you want to be in it?" the top actors of the era said "yes")

The Gladiator (opening battle scene...)
Godfather I (Sonny...Hey, listen, I want somebody good - and I mean very good - to plant that gun. I don't want my brother coming out of that toilet with just his d**k in his hands, alright?)

Shawshank Redemption (he moves the rock and...there is the box)
City Lights (Chaplin..how to tell a story without dialogue)

The Verdict(cross examination..."you mean doctor, she threw up into her mask...")
The Magnificent Seven (remake of "Seven Samurai")

Hoosiers (1954 - Butler Field house, Milan HS (161 students) beats 4 time state champ Muncie Central for Indiana title..where you gonna get that?)

These aren't on the top 15, but, I couldn't help it:

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (comedy ensemble of some of the greatest vaudeville stars ever)
A Man for All Seasons (Richard Bolt, writer)
The Shining (Duvall was the perfect wife for Jack)
Silence of the Lambs (Jodie Foster rips the front door open and...)
Toy Story (Tommy Hanks is such a good actor, his voice can act)
It's a Wonderful Life (Life isn't "Wonderful" it is brutal...ask Jimmy Stewart)
Usual Suspects ("the greatest trick the devil ever pulled...")
Pulp Fiction (Uma Thurman...[dang]!)
Alien (Who else is going to have Weaver in her shorts blowing away the toughest monster ever)
Something About Mary ("We got a a bleeder!")

The Russians are Coming the Russians Are Coming (Newton boy, Nat Benchley nominated for authoring this one and his son, Peter wrote...
Jaws (We're gonna need a bigger boat")

Patton (married a girl from Beverly Farms, Mass)
Witness (Oscar for Screenplay)
Citizen Kane
The Sting (Johnny looks up and...it's her! She's walking towards him...(gunshot))
Dr. Zhivago (Julie Christie...OMG)
Fargo ("and I guess that's your accomplice in the wood chipper...?")
The Fifth Element (Milla...wow)

Nice list and nice trivia

I love Patton and Casablanca too

btw don't you think that seven samurai > magnificent seven?

Also, yes Jovovich walking around half naked..  8)

I like the Rock as an actor as much as I like the Rock the wrestler lol. Central Intelligence was awesome in my opinion and his character in the Fast series was definitely one of my favorite characters

Funny. My friends and I recently were discussing movies and I'm the outsider on wed Anderson movies. They don't do it for me but most all my friends are big fans.

Yeah, The Rundown was another good one that I liked him in. I'm not a Fast and Furious guy at all, so I didn't really watch him in any of those. The Scorpion King was another good one of his. As for Pain and Gain, I'm pretty sure I've watched it, but I think I was busy writing a paper or something while watching it, so I didn't pay much attention and don't really remember it.

Pain and Gain was pretty funny. The Rock was good in that one, too.

I'm also not much for the Fast and Furious movies but The Rock shines in them.
