Maybe I need to see it again.

Don't lie. Tell it like it is.
If you don't really watch movies, that can be a plus, because you're cool headed about everything and can offer an objective opinion. Or you could look at it this way: You were never much of a guy who likes to watch other people do stuff, even if it's in movies, you like to make your own life happen. See? That communicates confidence and proactive personality.
You have a reason for the way you live, let them know why they need your approach.

Of course I've kept up to date watching similar movies of the same genre, but SfBF is still my favourite.
What's wrong with that answer? I don't understand your logic, like you're going to say some movie you haven't seen and he's going to ask you a question about it and then what the fuck are you going to do?

hmm recent good movie... burn after reading? i haven't seen it yet but apparently sherlock holmes is alrighty
edit: but then again, i'd go with the old movie titles you really like, as Chill said, i don't see nothing wrong with liking classic movies over the flow of mainstream garbage

The criteria on 'good' can be different for different people.
Turds like Twilight and its sequel milked money out of hordes of droning tween vampire fangirls, but I think a lot of us can agree that it sucks pretty hard. Then again, I'm not a 14 year old girl, so...
How long ago did the most recent Terminator movie come out? I thought it was pretty good.
How about the Star Trek movie? I personally didn't think it was THAT great, but it was decently entertaining.
OH. I recommend District 9. Not everyone agrees, but I think it was awesome. It was pretty creative as far as I'm concerned.
I don't watch a lot of movies, but those are just a few recent ones I can remember.

I think a big thing will be showing them that you are good at being articulate and smart, like not going OMG AVATAR WAS THE BEST THING EVER STUNNING GRAPHICS!!!!!! As long as you explain yourself and show you have seen recent movies then you should be ok

wear suit and tie...with dress shoes

I'd say District 9. Overall brilliantly made movie with a relatively low budget.
edit: Another poster reminded me, go for Usual suspects! Most kickass ending of all time. Not THAT recent though... 1995?
/my 2cents

oh and don't forget to put some glue/gel on your hair

I'm sorry but you are out of your mind if you think someone will not hire you based on your favorite movies. If this manager or whatever is really deciding based on that, then he/she is probably batshit insane anyway and you don't want to work for them.
Just being articulate and confident should be more than enough for you. Also, if you can get away with it, lie like a mattress.

As for action movies: X-Men Origins: Wolverine BATMAN. It's a good movie, really. I hear 'Armored' is a good one as well. Gonna watch it tomorrow =) And Terminator 4 was enjoyable.

District 9 should be full of win.
