So many quality films I could name, but going to have to narrow it down to one:

Cidade de Deus (City of God)

2001: A Space Odyssey.

Blew me away, that.

Paranormal Activity:

"Fooking Prawns" good film but nothing special though.

I loved it. Got it on blueray and watched it about 40 times. I just find it so good to watch, none of the boring sections most films have. The comedy value is just insane and so subtle at times, but it's the childish stuff that gets me going. Like when they knock on the aliens door and he answers it and says "No one is here" and closes the door Beyond the humour and the superb action scenes it's also got a good morality to it, with the mirroring of apartheid and the message that we really shouldn't single out those who are different. Top stuff. I love Wikus' accent.

There was some Nazi stuff in there too, what with 'cleaning' out the ghettos. The missus didn't know what to make of it but stuck by it and enjoyed it at the end.

Goodfellas is almost perfect for me.
