What's your favorite movie?

[Cozmo]

There are so many movies out there nowadays and with so much junk available to view, what are your favorite movies? Hoping that we could give each other ideas about what to watch and what to avoid like the plague.
With that in mind:

What's your favorite movie/s and why?
What movie/s caused an impact on you and which movie/s do you find yourself watching over and over again?

Be blessed!

My all-time favorites:

The Sound of Music
Big Fat Greek Wedding

I don't have specific reasons why I liked these movies. Maybe some of them teaches good moral values, like friendship, love, acceptance of who you are, etc. But I enjoyed them mostly because they are entertaining to me.
