Disagree with everything above except princess mononoke.

Seven Samurai is one of the best movies ever made. Good story, great dialogue, good action scenes, great acting by mifune and shimura, innovative cinematography (popularized deep focus I believe), introduced the "assemble a team" motif to film... and directed by a genius.

Samurai trilogy was good, very good in fact, but not in the same league as Seven Samurai.

Needless to say, of the list the OP provided, my recommendation is seven samurai. And definitely NOT Pitch black or chronicles of riddick.

Chronicles of riddick may be the worst movie ever made.

Yes, I saw spirited away. It was a little too random for me. I liked it, but prefer the more tightly woven plot of princess M. The second round of recommendations get the official seal of approval from torpid, though equilibrium is more of a campy sinful pleasure type movie.
