Rogue One
Ben-Hur. Loved it in my youth, when TV still aired this kind of movies regularly, and I absolutely love it and like to review it from time to time. There are others I've watched again lots if times (Star Wars, The Matrix...) but Ben-Hur is number one.
As a kid, it was a cartoon - The Little Mermaid. As an adult... It is a cartoon - Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse.
GoodFellas
Summer Wars. And it still tears me up.
The clutch powers Lego movie
Just read the reviews on Google and you'll understand
Remind me later, and I'll do it
I'm afraid they might be a whole bunch of oldies but goodies:
2001: A Space Odyssey.
The Empire Strikes Back.
Miller's Crossing (the third movie written and directed by the Coen brothers, from 1989).
A Bridge Too Far (from 1977, a sprawling, star-studded epic about the Allies and their costly, ill-advised and ultimately unsuccessful Operation Market-Garden in WWII).
A Bout De Soufflé. (Godard's seminal French New Wave cannon blast).
From Russia With Love.
The Spy Who Loved Me.
Conan the Barbarian History of the World pt1 Star wars Raiders of the Lost arc Master and Commander
In the last few years? The Magic Sword (1962) about 7 times I think and I could go for another.
Let the bullets fly. It's a Chinese classic, I watch it with all my friends that have enot heard it before and they all love it.
All of these movies my family sits down and watches at least once a year:
Harry Potter series.. All of them.
LoTR/ Hobbit.. All of them.
Paul
Strictly Ballroom
Princess Bride
Music Man 1962 version
Court Jester 1955 with Danny Kaye
Transformers The Movie (1986). I still get teary eyed when Optimus Prime dies.

There's a dumb Italian Horror movie called Del Amore d'ella Muerte (Cemetary Man in English speaking territories) that I absolutely love. It was made in the 90s and stars Rupert Everrit as a graveyard keeper who fights a zombie invasion with his mute assistant.
Hard to explain but the universe they create is very comfy where he's drinking red wine and shooting zombies.
Contact or Big Trouble In Little China. Love those movies.
2001: A Space Odyssey
The LotR Extended trilogy
BTTF
