If you are looking for old, true, gritty Westerns, there are three that are my all-time favorites:

Once Upon a Time in the West
The Wild Bunch
High Plains Drifter

They might be a bit rough for most tastes, but all are classics.  if you want something that has a more modern, Hollywood feel to it, The Quick And The Dead with Sharon Stone, Russel Crowe, Gene Hackman, and Leonardo DiCaprio was actually pretty entertaining as well.  Hope this helps.  

Any Monty Python film is a catagory unto itself, but the best one is still "Life of Brian."

Some of my favorite films include:

Clockwork Orange
City of Lost Children
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Deathrace 2000
Star Wars Trilogy (the first one, not the current one)
Popeye
Hard Boiled
Hawk the Slayer
Chasing Papi
Conan the Barbarian
High Sierra
Angels with Dirty Faces
Rebel Without a Cause
Giant
African Queen
Casablanca
White Heat
Public Enemy
Fight Club
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Killer
A Better Tomorrow I-III
Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Suspiria
Clerks

At least that is my list today.  Tomorrow it may change.

I really liked the Yoda fight, but the fact that he was CGI, I'm afraid, took a bit of the thrill away from it.  

In addition to all the ones that have already been stated, how can you forget the big fight between Achilles and Hector in Troy??

Well, not the best EVER, but still very well done.  Easily one of the few superhero films that managed to stay nearly 100% true to it's background material.  

Darn skippy.

I have it, and it is amazing; almost worth all the hype.  New feats, warforged, dragonmark clans, very magic-rich, cool art, great background.  What's not to like.  I am currently perusing the Lone Wolf RPG, but will get a chance to really get into Eberron soon.

If WWII is what you are looking for, Gear Krieg has several supplements out for the RPG, the first two being the Axis Sourcebook and the Allies Sourcebook.  There is also an African Campaign book (for thise wishing to match wits against the legendary Desert Fox, I'd expect), a Weird Science book, and a very detailed Heroes and Villains book (which is probably the best for getting the jist of what types of adversaries the players should be going up against).  Finally, there is the Gear Krieg Companion, which gives a smattering of a lot of different topics that might be of use to both game masters and players trying to set up a long-term campaign.  Hope this helps.
