A lot of movies like Goodfellas, Heat, and the Godfather Trilogy have already been listed, but I can't believe no one has mentioned Carlito's Way with Al Pacino and Sean Penn. Fucking brilliant movie, man.
Edit: It took me so long to post this, FuqALot got to it before me. 
Here are some others you should see:
- Rushmore (you have to be a geek like to me think it's funny,though)
- Memento (great suspense film you have to watch at least twice to fully grasp)
- Being John Malkovich (unexplainable)
- Three Kings (one of the best war movies ever)
- Magnolia (not as good as Boogie Nights but just as epic)
- True Romance (great script by Tarantino with lots of murder and mayhem)
- Double Indemnity (a film noir classic, and for good reason)
- Mulholland Drive (a total mindfuck from David Lynch)
- 12 Monkeys (another total mindfuck, and Brad Pitt's best performance)
- Out of Sight (incredibly funny movie with a great cast)
- The Limey (what can I say, I love Steven Soderbergh's movies)
- Rounders (pretty damn interesting, and an awesome cast)
- Strangers on a Train (one of my favorite Hitchcock films)
- Big Night (a small, quiet movie about love, life, and pasta)
- The Big Lebowski (a ridiculous comedy, but impressive nonetheless)
- Cabaret (yes, it's a musical. yes, it has liza minelli. no, i'm not gay.)
- Gattaca (a science fiction film that doesn't know it's science fiction)
- Dazed and Confused (I love it because I can relate)
- The Player (awesome murder mystery about Hollywood)
- Swimming With Sharks (a darkly comic movie about Hollywood)
- Sling Blade (the reason Billy Bob Thornton is famous)
- Gengarry Glenn Ross (perfect cast, perfect dialogue, perfect film)
I know I'll think of more as soon as I hit submit...
