Great list! I'd agree with every single were it not for two exceptions:
Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, and Donnie Darko (surrounded by vomiting smilies for maximum effect)

For me, it'll be Blade Runner above all else.
And then:

in SF:
Brazil
Dune
Aliens
Terminator 1
maybe Cypher...

non-SF:
Mulholland Drive
Requiem for a dream (yep, that's sad all right, and difficult to watch near the end, but it's worth it IMO)
Fucking Amal
The Million Dollar Hotel
Rebels of the Neon God
Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Big Lebowski
Exotica
To be or not to be
The Seventh Seal

and a huge bunch of others I can't remember just now, or that i'm too lasy to type.

Well, there aren't that much movies that get better and better each time I watch them...
And it was already a shock the first time.

I'm half Welsh myself, as my Dad is a cockney, and my Mum's nan is originally from Bath (though my mum was born in Wales).

Third Gen Welsh how, btw?
