casablanca
singin' in the rain
goodfellas
forbidden planet
the sand pebble
wizard of oz
fargo
spartacus
princess bride
crimes and misdemeanors

But, I'll try, although this is more a list of Most Watched Movies:

Rushmore
The Big Lebowski
Lost in Translation
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
Jerry Maguire
Moulin Rouge
O Brother Where Art Thou
The Usual Suspects
Toy Story 2
Shawshank Redemption

4. Princess Bride
5. Blazing Saddles
6. Young Frankenstien
7. Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail

I almost put Star Wars in there as it was certainly a favorite, but I find it hasn't really aged well for me. Naturally, on any given day I would have a different list.
