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.
Frozen II
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.
Withnail and I.
Don't threaten me with a dead fish!
Hard to pick just one, and it changes from time to time. For this specific post, Iโll choose Sicario.
Matrix
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.
Did you see Clerks 3? It is no way up to the original, but it was enjoyable for me. It seemed more like a therapy sess/love letter from the cast. Depending on your age, it might be a nice ending.
I loved Clerks 3. I feel like people who set higher expectations for it (and for Reboot) did themselves a disservice.
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.

Buckaroo Banzai will forever live near the top of my list...
it's hard to pick, but i really like Possessor (2020), it's a cool dystopian science fiction horror-ish movie that scratches a lot of my itches
i also rate some of the Andy Kaufman movies really high, like Synechdoche, New York (2008) and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
most of my favourite movies are just mindfucks about identity or memory, because that's the flavour of my mental illnesses, lol
