Although it's not acclaimed... Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels has some great one-liners in it.....

"What's THAT ?"
"It's my Bren Gun....."
"Where did you get that from ?"
"My House".
I love Lock Stock, awesome movie & always will be, must watch it again soon. Actually, I'm just gonna put it on my Christmas/Birthday wishlist, thanx for the reminder!

I thought it was on this thread that someone asked about a movie that you did not expect much from but turned out to be good.
Under this category would be 'Shadowlands' - especially relevant since it is about CS Lewis(Anthony Hopkins) and 'The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe' is out soon - guaranteed to have the girls reaching for kleenex.

The original is quality...and many of his movies were used as basis for a lot of modern stuff, so can't beat giving it a try at least

My all time favorite is Once Upon A Time In America. Robert De-niro.
The music was fab as well.
