The films that have stayed with me are the original Star Wars Trilogy. When Star Wars A New Hope came out I was 12 or 13. Seeing THAT opening shot changed me forever.

 

But I also have "films of the moment" which I'll re-watch for a period of time. Currently that's both Deadpool movies and I'm quite taken with Deepwater Horizon and the new "Kelvin Timeline" Star Trek movies. Ask me again in 6 months though and I'll likely have a different answer when it comes to "films of the moment". Star Wars is forever though.

For A Few Dollars More and Jeffrey Bernard Is Unwell with Peter O’Toole.

In no particular  order....

 

Green mile,  Schindler's list  

 

The  original starwars (great memories of watching those on VHS in uni when supposed to be revising),   and then revisited on DVD with my youngest.  I like the modern ones to.    

 

Then for pure laughs....   Ferris Bulers day off,  All the American pie films....    Best watched with beer and without wife judging or asking questions  

 

Dare i say it but I've recently on Prime watched the later of the Rocky films, Rocky balboa and  Creed.   I have enjoyed them to.

+1 for Kelly's Heros although I do like a bit of Star Wars IV, V, VI, and Flight of the Intruder.

The original 'Godfather', and 'An Inspector Calls' (Alastair Sim). The second one has lessons for us all. Many others - too many to recall at this hour.

 

Oh yes, 'The Red Balloon' and 'Jazz on a Summer's Day' (both on Youtube) and 'An Incident at Owl Creek Bridge' also on YT

Dare not ask if that is similar to "Joseph and the golden honeypot".

One of the best foreign films I've seen is on the iplayer at the moment. It's called untouchable and it's french and a true story. If your stuck it's worth a watch.
