Almost every film with Clint Eastwood in it is watchable, the best being:

Dirty Harry (one of my favourite all time films)
The Sergio Leone trilogy (A fistful of Dollars, For a few dollars more and GB&U)
Outlaw Josie Wales
High Plains Drifter
Unforgiven

Other Westerns:
The Magnificent Seven
The Wild Bunch (my favourite Western)
Once upon a time in the west
A fistful of Dynamite

Comedies off the top of my head that may not have been mentioned:
The Blues Brothers
This is Spinal Tap (love the the scene at the airport with Harry Shearer and the cucumber!)
Monty Python and the Holy Grail

I don't know if it's been mentioned but the 'Shawshank Redemption' has to be the greatest prison film ever made.

The twist at the end is one of the greatest endings ever thought up for a book/film.Brilliant stuff.

Stephen King wrote the 'Shawshank' and I think the man is a legend.Some more of his books that have made great films.

The shining
Misery
Carrie
It
The Stand
Stand by me(ORIGINAL CALLED,the dead Body,I think!)
Pet semetary
Saloms Lot
Apt pupil

There's more and I can't think of them now.

Taxi Driver is a great DeNiro film maybe his best ever.

I went to see road kill a few years back in the cinema,I didn't know anything about it,just went in and thought it was a great show.

Devil's Advocate features some of the hammiest acting ("Gaaaawd is an AB-SENT-EEEEEEEEEE Landloyid") and worst acting (Keanu, as usual) in any film.
Keanu's perfect in that film as the little boy in the biog bad world and so to is Pacino as, well, the, eh, Devil... Acting doesn't have to be about realism all the time...

Cheers, but kinda guessed the film/role wouldn't be 'about realism' when the Devil turned up and inanimate objects sprang to life...
And here's me thinking you went along hoping it was a film based on the 1996 Fianna Fail Ard Fheis...
