Another vote for Sawshank Redemption.

The Room

Star Wars - original

Saw this when released in theatres as a 7 year old.

Inception probably edges it, It made me think a lot afterwards about how you could make such an elaborate story based on the concept of 'planting an idea in someones head'

American Gangster.

The fandom 4k scan of the original 35mm theatrical release is 🔥 compared to the special releases.

Shawshank & the green mile

No contest for me - Back To The Future (1985)

Falling Down - to quote a YouTube comment "The older I get the more I understand this guy"

The Straight Story.

Based on a true story, man travels 600km on a ride on lawn mower to visit his dying brother.

I've watched it at least five times and would sit down in a heartbeat to watch it again.

Directed by David Lynch.

Road movies don't get better than this.

Ergh, the more I read this thread the more my list changes.  Can't believe I forgot Shawshank and the various Studio Ghibli movies; though my pick from Studio Ghibli would be Princess Mononoke or Grave of Fireflies. 

The Last of the Mohicans

you can lock the thread now. 

The Prestige, for me.

A right old mix of historical relevance (Tesla/Edison), sci-fi stuff and plot twist.. I keep forcing myself to forget details of it so I can watch it again for the first time.
