I'm a fan of most of the movies listed, but didn't notice anyone mention one of my favorites, Moneyball. Don't let the baseball fool you. I don't even like baseball. To me it's not about baseball, it's about trying to succeed in a flawed system.

Hard to pick just one, and it changes from time to time. For this specific post, I’ll choose Sicario.

It's a tie between The Motorcycle Diaries and Howl's Moving Castle.

The first I found extremely touching, the second is just incredibly magical and charming.

My most watched movies:
Jurassic Park
The Firm
The Verdict
Children of Men
Arrival
Lord of the Rings

But you know all of those already. Here's one you probably haven't seen: Love me some stage play adapted to movie. Doubt (2008)

Lots of great picks here! I could go with a dozen that have already been mentioned, but I will throw out Blade Runner. The look, the feel, the sound, the ideas... Rutger Hauer's classic monologue, Sean Young at peak compelling...

Die Hard

By a pretty huge margin.

That. Movie. Is. Perfect.
