Some of my favorites are:

Any adaptation of a Jane Austin book - love that period

Silver Streak (with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder) - cracks me up. Actually any move with those two is whacky and fun.

The Princess Bride - cute and sweet and romantic

Men in Black - both I and II are funny

I generally enjoy any movie with a happy ending, however my favorites are generally movies with sequels. I like to keep the characters around if I like them. (I'm the same way with books!)

Stars Wars series
Lord of the Rings series
Harry Potter series
Gone with the Wind (ok, not a series but a REALLY long movie!)
Indiana Jones series

Oh my I have soooo many favorite movies. Many have been listed already. But movies I can watch over and over again are:
The Man from Snowy River
Dances with Wolves
and believe it or not Avatar. I just rented it recently and I loved it. I watched it 4 times before sending it back. I plan on putting it on my wish list for Christmas.
I am also a big fan of the Disney animated films both traditional and pixar ones.

The Parent Trap (the Hayley Mills, Brian Keith and Maureen O'Hara one) - my all-time favorite. I'll never outgrow it!

Oliver! (the one with Mark Lester and Oliver Reed) - talk about a movie with just about everything: great story, singable songs, fabulous scenery

The Ten Commandments - awesome cinema!

My Cousin Vinny - hilarious and feel-good stuff

The Frisco Kid - same reasons as My Cousin Vinny

Rude Awakenings - aw, I'm a wannabe hippie, and Eric Roberts looked so good in his long hair, and Cheech was adorable... uh, another hilarious and feel-good one

Twelve Angry Men - awesome, thought-provoking

Erin Brockovich - c'mon, Julia Roberts and a very satisfying story...

Movies I'll watch any time they're on, never get tired of --
"Fargo"
"Goodfellas"
"Godfather" (first one)

"Fried Green Tomatoes"
"The Birdcage" (I think that's the name; Robin Williams,
Nathan Lane, Dianne Wiest, Gene Hackman)
