I mean movies that are deeply in your sub consciousness and make for special memories anytime you see them.

Here's a couple from the top of my head:

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - saw it first sometime as a kid, started my life long love for the western genre, and Robert Redford with Paul Newman will forever be my heroes and idols, on and outside of the silver screen

Easy Rider - 12 when I saw that, remember that like if it was yesterday, loved that movie then and love that movie now

Blade Runner - I was also 12, couldn't really get it, but couldn't shake it off my head, I guess I somehow got closer to understand the meaning a couple years later

Life and Times of the Judge Roy Bean - seriously the most entertaining western I ever saw with the one and only Paul Newman

Little Big Man - 12, up till today I still want to be the same hero as Dustin Hoffman in this one

Pulp Fiction - 13 when I saw it, of course I saw it plenty times after, cause I had an original VHS tape and everyone who stopped by wanted to watch it

Later on:

Strange Days - 14, loved that movie and fell in love with Juliette Lewis, might not be so special, haven't seen it ever since

Desperado - 14, maybe one of the factors why I dig lots of latin culture these days, I sure loved to fantasize about being the "desperado"

One Flew Over the Cockoo's Nest 15, editing it in for the last second since it has to be included

Platoon - 15, before I ever knew who is Oliver Stone I've greatly enjoyed this movie

Once were warriors - 16, New Zealand movie with Maori cast, probably the most brutal movie I'd ever seen up till that date

Se7en - 16 the most intense thriller I saw by that time and probably one of the most intense thrillers of all time

Lola Rennt - 17 - German movie, love it by this day and was in love with Franka Potente

Hana Bi (Fireworks) - 17 First movie I ever saw from Takeshi Kitano, totally blown me out with its bitter poetry

Taxi Driver - 18 when I saw it, much later till I really started to dig that movie up to the point that it's probably in my personal top 5, the expressive insanity just somehow works with me

ChinaTown - 18, resonated with me since I was also reading a lot of Raymond Chandler at that time

Cool Hand Luke - 19, have never met one single person that would see and wouldn't like Cool Hand Luke, immortal character played by Paul Newman

Birdy - suggestive story on the background of the Vietnam war, Nicholas Cage aspiring for an Oscar early in his career

Career Girls - 19, I don't know one single person that would ever saw this movie, and I haven't seen the whole movie, just like the latter two thirds on a TV Movie Club program, but I've actually even started to listen to The Cure just to bring back the feeling

Clockwork Orange - 20 when I saw it, there's no other movie quite comparable to Clockwork Orange, and although I couldn't say about this movie as much as many intellectuals like to, it sure feels unhealthily entertaining to watch it

Apocalypse Now - 22, can re-watch it over and over again, definitely not a war movie in its classical sense, the imaginery and intensity combined with excellent Martin Sheen (and Marlon Brando) just strucked a chord somewhere

Gangster No. 1 - 25, this movie is way beyond the gangster movie genre, although The Heat for example would also be very high on my list, Malcolm McDowell is the nastiest and most vicious criminal character of all time in this one

To Live and die in LA - 26, hard boiled, naturalistic, and with incredible atmosphere, LA has never looked more decadent and tempting at the same time

Sonatine - 26, my most favorite Takeshi Kitano Movie, takes getting used to his movies and Japanese culture a little bit first though, yet this one, among with "Dolls", which is his most brutal although maybe least violent movie, would be very high on my list too.

Dog Day Afternoon - 26, saw that as a kid but couldn't enjoy it as much as when I had a chance to re watch that recently, definitely in my top 5 of all time, among with "Fargo" these movies are incredibly entertaining while cutting deep

What's your choice?
