E.T.
I am absolutely charmed by the characters, the story, the optimism, and the connection to the unknown.

I'll throw this one out there "Dogville"
Matrix
Cinema Paradiso
Honorable mentions for Galaxy Quest and Heist.
V for vendetta
Buckaroo Banzai will forever live near the top of my list...
Lilo and Stitch!
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
Frozen II
Hard to pick just one, and it changes from time to time. For this specific post, Iโll choose Sicario.
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.

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.
Waking Life
Withnail and I.
Don't threaten me with a dead fish!
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.
One older one: Disneys Atlantis A newer one: Ready Player One
Lots of great picks here! I could go with a dozen that have already been mentioned, but I will throw out Blade Runner. The look, the feel, the sound, the ideas... Rutger Hauer's classic monologue, Sean Young at peak compelling...
Die Hard
By a pretty huge margin.
That. Movie. Is. Perfect.
