Are we talkin' gangster movies or any "must have" flicks? To the gangster genre, I'd add Mean Streets, Road to Perdition (yeah, I know it's not a "gangster" movie in the extreme sense of the term, but it's great), Gotti, Reservoir Dogs, and perhaps The Untouchables (although I still haven't had the forethought to pick up the latter one yet).

Other flicks? IMHO: Platoon, Patton, The Deer Hunter, Saving Pvt. Ryan, Tombstone, Excalibur, Braveheart, Schindler's List, Jesus of Nazareth (albeit I look eagerly forward to Mel Gibson's The Passion due out next Easter), LOTR I & II (please don't stone me for those! ), and, of course, The Matrix.
