A lot of people have used what I consider my test -- whether I stop to watch it on TV even if I have seen it dozens of time. For that reason, my list definitely tends toward comedy and action/fantasy genre.

Animal House [ditto]
Galaxy Quest
Ghostbusters
A Fish Called Wanda
Princess Bride
A Christmas Story
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Sense and Sensibility (I don't know why, because it is unlike the others, but I have to stop and watch it when it's on)
Rudy (despite knowing the whole story is mostly hype and I absolutely hate Notre Dame)

[KHenry14]

Well, most of these are just our favorites, not great films...

That Thing You Do!--Tom Hanks wrote and Directed this gem about a young pop band
The Committments-- same plot as the above, but set in Ireland. Most gratuitous use of the F word I've ever seen!
The Rocker--Rainn Wilson and Emma Stone's little gem. Another film about a band finding success
Galaxy Quest--Great cast and a great premise. We pretty much have the film's dialogue memorised
Band of Brothers mini-series--Best War series ever produced, bar none
Blades of Glory--I know people have mixed feelings about this film. It was worth it just for the scene of the Iron Lotus in N. Korea
Pride and Prejudice (2005)--Joe Wright's beautiful take on the classic story. Beautifully directed and filmed
Noises Off--just a truly funny film. We go see the play anytime it's in production
Miss Pettigrew Lives for the Day--Frances McDormand and Amy Adams were fantastic in this small film.
American Dreamer--A cute, fun film that is surprisingly not well known.

- Under the Tuscan Sun
- All About Eve
- To Sir, With Love
- To Sir, With Love II - my father thinks this is better than the first movie
- The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie

- Mrs. Parker & the Vicious Circle
