All Kevin Smith movies are great, but I think Mallrats has the most mindless rewatchability.

Ok so I just saw another movie that is on the top of this list for me.

Dead Man

Such a GREAT movie. Best indi flick I have seen in a long time. The soundtrack is Neil Young's electric guitar, which they recorded as he just played along to the movie while watching it. So cool.
