I have to go with "What the Bleep do We Know" I love movies but documentaries have a special place for me and this one rocked me to the core. I think about it almost on a daily basis and I saw it over 2 years ago.
I really liked "The Secrect" but I thought it was very Masonic in nature where others do not.

Then I would go with
Forest Gump
Half Baked
Dazed and Confused
Happy Gilmore
Zoolander
Step Brothers and all those movies in that genere

i like how Pulp Fiction made both the top 6 and an honorable mention :)

American Beauty
The Godfather
Apocalypse Now
Full Metal Jacket

In your opinion what makes a movie a GREAT movie? Is it being different? Is it the acting, screenplay? What is it?

Acting is part of it, but more importantly it has to have a good plot, seem somewhat realistic (I hate superhero movies), and it has to leave me thinking in a new direction when it is over.

Movies are art. So, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". My choices of great movies may not agree with the next guy's. In fact, I usually disagree with the awards shows (Oscars, etc).
