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
Lilo and Stitch!
Die Hard
By a pretty huge margin.
That. Movie. Is. Perfect.
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...
Overall favorite: Shawshank Redemption
Watched the most times: Notting Hill and Coming to America
