Just a few off the top of my head...
Citizen Kane--ok, it's the pretentious film snob answer, and it's not for everyone. But for each of the many, many times I've seen it, it's felt like a different movie each time. Plus I love Orson Welles, and there are so many cool visual directing tricks to catch.
Casablanca--hey, it's classic, it's romance, and it's Bogart. And how can you not crack up at "Round up the usual suspects"?
It's a Wonderful Life--my best friend's favorite film, and it never gets old for me. So unabashedly optimistic in the face of sadness.
Minority Report--first movie I ever saw that made me realized movies could be both entertaining and thought-provoking. I love the design of the world, the ideas and debates behind the crime unit, and the way the story concludes.
