Waking Life
Withnail and I.
Don't threaten me with a dead fish!
It's a tie between The Motorcycle Diaries and Howl's Moving Castle.
The first I found extremely touching, the second is just incredibly magical and charming.
E.T.
I am absolutely charmed by the characters, the story, the optimism, and the connection to the unknown.
Clerks, because when I was 22 years before I ever saw that movie I to ran my convince store just like that. Also totally relate to the crap customers you deal with in that setting.

V for vendetta
I'm a fan of most of the movies listed, but didn't notice anyone mention one of my favorites, Moneyball. Don't let the baseball fool you. I don't even like baseball. To me it's not about baseball, it's about trying to succeed in a flawed system.
My most watched movies:
Jurassic Park
The Firm
The Verdict
Children of Men
Arrival
Lord of the Rings
But you know all of those already. Here's one you probably haven't seen: Love me some stage play adapted to movie. Doubt (2008)
If you like legal dramas, presumed innocent (the movie with harrison ford) is really good also.
I do! Thanks for the suggestion
Die Hard
By a pretty huge margin.
That. Movie. Is. Perfect.
Overall favorite: Shawshank Redemption
Watched the most times: Notting Hill and Coming to America
Aliens.
Alien is good too but Aliens is damn near perfect for me.
Idk what the heck James Cameroon is doing now but, Avatar just didnโt land in the same way to me.
