Howards End - Anthony Hopkins & Emma Thompson.

Nottinghill - Julia Roberts & Hugh Grant.

Shall We Dance - Richard Gere & Jenifer Lopez.

The Milagro War - RubÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â©n Blades, Richard Bradford, Sonia Braga - Produced by Robert Redford - I watched 6 times.

An Unfinished Life - Robert Redford, Morgan Freeman & Jenifer Lopez.

Nanny McPhee - Emma Thompson - Colin Firth.

Sense and Sensibility - Emma Thompson - Colin Firth - Hugh Grant.

Love Actually - Emma Thompson - Hugh Grant.

Officer and A Gentleman - Richard Gere - Debra Winger.

The Pursuit of Happyness - Will Smith - a must see.

These are just some that I own and watch over and over.

I think your family has good taste. I don't have one favorite. There are too many that I have loved over the decades and watch again and again. Comedy, drama, adventure, fantasy, mystery, science fiction, biographical, silent films, foreign films and romance films each have a place on my long list.

My personal favorites would be Goodfellas or the Star Wars series. Publicly, Citizen Kane is the #1 favorite but most people from the younger generations probably would disagree.

If you're looking for the most universally praised movie, it would probably be "Citizen Kane". The most popular #1 movies on IMDB are generally "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Godfather". The ones that won the most Oscars are "Titanic", "Ben-Hur" and "The Return of the King". Highest grossing are "Star Wars", "Titanic", "The Dark Knight", and "E.T."

Seven Samurai, no contest.

*Edit*

Don't Believe The Hype: The Magnificent Seven is a remake of Seven Samurai. Watch the original and blow your fragile little mind.

The best movie ever made is a matter of opinion but for me I would say it's the Godfather.

For pure entertainment, Chicago

Sorry to see end,   Dances with Wolves

Shear acting perfection,    The African Queen

Love and intrigue,  Casablanca

For children,      E.T.

War,            The Longest Day

Romance,   A Walk in the Clouds

I can't pick just one.  Good movies are like potato chips.  I've left out so many, like science fiction,  Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

"Citizen Kane" has been recognized as the finest movie ever made because of Orson Welle's, not only for story but for his revolutionary use of shadows and camera angles.
