Miller's Crossing, True Lebowski, Fargo
Blarg, obviously meant Big Lebowski. My family was just watching True Grit (which is also fantastic).
Miller's Crossing is probably my all-time favorite movie. I love it b/c it is the opposite of verite -- every shot is extremely composed, every line of dialogue extremely written. It is painterly, doted upon, each frame done just so, not a square inch or line of dialogue wasted.
… And you chased it, right? You ran and ran, finally caught up to it and you picked it up. But it wasn’t a hat any more and it changed into something else, something wonderful?

Nah, it stayed a hat and no, I didn’t chase it. Nothing more foolish than a man chasin’ his hat.
