Blade Runner is my favorite, as you can probably tell from my forum pic.

In case you aren't familiar, Movie Barcode is a process in which every single frame of a movie is compressed into a thin vertical line.  The result is a single image that conveys the overall visual feel of the movie.

Other notables are

The Lion King
The Lord of the Rings movies (amazing how the color palette is SO different from film to film)
Thirteenth Floor

The Lion King and Tron look pretty neat. To be honest, most "regular" movies make for bland barcodes, with lots of greys, browns, blacks and whites.

Modern Times (the Charlie Chaplin movie) is listed...surprise surprise, the barcode looks black & white. I never could have guessed!

I'm surprised how dark most movie barcodes are.  I mean, I knew Goodfellas was dark, but not THAT dark.

Only animated movies look different than most, with patches of vibrant colours. Normal movies are dominated by greys/blues/blacks/browns. A Clockwork Orange has an interesting barcode.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is almost entirely black.

Still mostly grey/blue/black/brown, but THX 1138 is fairly different:
